Hawks fans have to also spend money on gas/airfare and hotel to enjoy the game today. You don't hear them making excuses.

Hawks fans are everywhere these days, theyre the most popular bandwagon going. Add in the close proximity to Chicago and you get a large contingent at the game. The X sounds just like that every time they're in town too.

This is true. Still, it's a shock when I think back to the bloody Blues/Hawks battles at the old St. Louis Arena. At the absolute most, those games were 90/10 Blues fans.

Yeah one tweet says he might undergo a scope tomorrow to judge severity. Another says that he shold be sidelined at least several weeks.
I guess the bright side is that Hextall shouldn't be shy about dealing any of the rental players.

Going to the B's/Stars game tomorrow night:
1. I hope the snow doesn't mess up the game (there will be no public transit in the city tomorrow).
2. I wonder if I can get $1 emergency snow parking at the Garden.
3. I hope the mail carrier gets here in time with my "Eriksson" jersey.

Going to the Isles vs Oilers game tonight - tailgating along the Mariot fence begins at 5.
Lots of Isles fans interested in attaining Stafford - what would it take from the Isles side Sabres fans to make that happen?

not sure. I imagine the Sabres would want a good prospect who is close to making a contribution.
otherwise, I think a higher 2nd round pick would be fair value.

Thx for the offer Reaper but I can't
Going to game tonight with some friends.
Out for work tomorrow night.
If I tell my wife I'm going out Thursday night too she might just move all my stuff into the garage.

Seguin has the flu ... may not play tonight.
Hundreds of 19-year-old coeds currently panicked and flooding the secondary ticket market.

Wild looking confident against VAN. Zucker and Carter hurt up front but nice 5-2 win with Miller being pulled for his second straight start. Five different goal scorers. Koivu playing well with 3A.
Feels like a possible letdown game against the Jets tonight on a back-to-back with travel. They're rolling pretty good though so I'll predict 4-2 Wild.

Hartley is a miracle worker as far as I'm concerned. I have no idea how they are doing as well as they are.
good stuff re: Evander Kane: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/why-fiercely-independent-kane-must-change-ways/

In this day and age, why do the scouts have to attend in person? Seems like a waste of resources and time.

I feel like I can focus on certain details more when in-person. You miss a lot of stuff off-camera, IMO.

You're talking from the perspective of a fan, and I agree.
Maybe the scouts have to be there to fully ensure they see no sign of injury. I mean, what are they going to see in Phil Kessel's game that they don't already know?

Personally, I think they should just go back to a no-overtime system. A tie is a tie.
That being said, I don't think he does a great job justifying the reason for a new system.
"I went through all 30 teams and generated their point total under the 3 point regulation win system. It turns out the 16 teams that would be in the playoffs now, would be the 16 teams in the playoffs under the new system. The only difference would be some positioning."
So, not much of a difference here. We already know that any team that gets in is going to have a chance (see LA Kings, circa 2012)
He later states:
"Need proof this system would make for tighter playoff races? Take a look at the top of the Metropolitan Division under the new system. The Penguins and Islanders would each have 91 points, while the Rangers and Capitals would each have 89 points. That would be some race coming down the stretch in March and April."
The article appears to be written prior to last nights games. So, if I am correct we would see this as the current system standings as of Feb 9
NYI 69
PIT 68
WAS 66
NYR 65
Not really that significant a difference, IMO, and presumably he chose the best example he could find to make his point, and if this is it (I'm not going to check) then that's not saying much.
Of course all of this could change by year's end. I just don't necessarily agree that it will make that much of a difference in the end.

I've only ever watched at Bridgestone, but I think it's a pretty awesome hockey venue.
There can be some sparse nights, but I've found more often than not it is absolutely electric.
Been going to a few games a year since college. If this is what Laviolette is going to bring to the team for multiple seasons, I'm pretty certain we'll be season ticket holders next year.

It was my understanding that the scouts were there to see the three "can't miss" prospects in the Ranger's affiliate. I found a youtube clip of these guys. One has an awesome slapshot.

Huge deal. Hearing Myers Stafford Armia and Lemieux plus a first for Kane and Bogosian as principles of deal getting close btwn Buf + Wpg.
