Running 2007 NHL regular season thread

Ron Francis or Cam Ward? ;D

(For me, I think it will always be Francis ... but I'll never forget what Cam did for the Cup run.)

Gee ... Eric Staal scored on the power play. What was that b_tching about Staal's falloff last year? :

 

It was a nice one-timer. Scored on the first PP and the second PP looked good although it didn't produce a goal.

 

Gerber's made some nice saves for the Sens in the first period against the Laughs.

Edit: Obviously, that changed later in the period.

 

The first Carolina goal has been changed to Cole's goal. I guess he tipped it in.

 

Unfortunately those dumbowners have an affect on the rest of the league. The discrepencies in payroll were ridiculous. I think it is far from perfect but I do think it is an improvement.
BettmaN is still a class A douche bag though

 

Being the only hockey fan in this office is tough when I try to stick up for the sport and how it's getting its legs back under it after the LO. I will continue to fight the fight though!

LET'S GO RANGERS!

 

I can relate big-time. I'm not the only hockey fan, but I'm very much in the minority.

 

Some good friends of mine are big hockey fans. ONe is a Sabres fan and it made for quite an entertaining time during the playoffs last year.

 

You're like the one basketball guy when I was at the Sun. Oh the mockery he suffered ...

 

My boy Bates Battaglia in a good tussle with Wade Redden. He left Redden lacerated like Ric Flair! Well done, Double B!

 

I got beat to it. See below.

 

And Koivu grabs the winner on a power play!
