Running 2007 NHL regular season thread

They've been saying that ever since lockout ended.

Directv still hasn't said anything on its end. When there is a definite date and channel announced then I'll start getting excited about it.

 

The story in Leafsland of course is Jason Blake and his cancer.

Front page headline(with photo) in both the Star & The Sun. Smaller story on the front page in the Globe.

National Post is still trying to figure out what hockey is.

 

I have October 25 in the "Mike Keenan Epic Meltdown in Calgary" pool.

 

Like the Globe trying to figure out that HNIC broadcast on Saturday night...

 

I'm going to take Oct. 17.

 

If the 'Hawks are lucky, they could land John Tavares.

A Kane-Toews-Tavares line would be pretty damn fun to watch.

 

I saw him on After Hours and he was such a disingenuous prick, whining that he didn't understand why he's so hated. Talk to Gretzky, Mike. Ask Mike Gartner what he thinks of you. When born-again Mike Gartner, one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, thinks you're a cocksucker, you have problems.

 

He also cut Stevie Y from a Canada Cup team.

 

Well, Stevie Y was never a consumate team player...

 

Can't breathe ... hyper ... vent ... ill ... ay ... ting ...

You did mean to use the blue font, right?

I was joking, yes.

 

Nice equalizer by Justin Williams to offset the pair of early penalties that led to the early goal.

Nice to see Paul Maurice and Bates Battaglia again. Thank you, Versus.
