2008/09 NHL Thread

The NHL's "director of corporate communicatiions" (their spelling, not mine) blogs (BLOGS~!) about traveling with a mobile refrigeration unit to Chicago.

Don't know if this is a d_b on this thread, but here are some good election-style ads out of Chicago featuring Toews and Kane.

 

Those are pretty funny. Like Kane with the monacle.

 

Those are great!! thanks

 

Melrose was right. The new owners/management are running the Lightning even further into the ground.

 

Sakic is out three months due to an accident involving a snow blower.

Melrose should STFU. He embarrasses himself every time he opens his mouth.
I'm so glad he's on ESPN so we dont have to put up with his drivel up here.

 

The welcome mat is out for Sundin over at Puck Daddy



Greg's running a contest: name the date and time Mats signs with a team. Over 200 entries so far.

Using the comments section on this post, we're looking for your predictions on the exact team, date and hour (EST) that Mats Sundin agrees to a contract with an NHL team this season. (Example: "New York Rangers, Dec. 15, noon." And then add the obligatory snark and/or hackneyed justification to make this fun.)

And first prize is OK--unless you don't like video games.

Besides a sense of immense personal satisfaction, the winner receives a copy of 2K Sports' "NHL 2K9" for either PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 or PlayStation 2. If you don't like video games, we could give you a copy of "Slap Shot 3" instead.

 

These injuries keep getting weirder and weirder (see: Rose, Derrick)

 

A pretty good feature on Kyle McLaren, who is toiling for the Sharks AHL affiliate.

I saw him at an AHL game a few weeks ago which surprised me to say the least. The former Boston Bruin is a fan favorite up there.

 

Although no one's saying anything, it sounds like Ordinary Joe stuck his hand in the snowblower to pull out some foreign object but forgot to turn the damn thing off.
