Half the season gone, total asterisk for the champion. What is the point. Glad it's back but can't get into it.

I want to see empty arenas.
I can understand your stance Phil but the one thing to consider about that point are the folks that work the things like concession stands and such. They have been out of work as well and while I don't mind seeing the owners suffer in the wallet a bit at all, the regular people like us do need the support.
NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad::wink::biggrin:Quote:

I'd like to have a t-shirt made that says "Here to support the arena works. F*** the owners" and wear that to games, then.Quote:

owners who fought against this "cabal"!!
Why?Quote:

Looks like January 19th is Opening Night!!
No pre-season games!!
Yessir! My Beaupre jersey is dusted off and ready for action. It won't be official until I hear our Horn Guy at the phone booth!
Deal!Quote:

My boys are opening in Tampa on the 19th. Gotta press the Dahlen jersey!
Haha, it will be interesting to see how the Lightning turn out this (shortened) season. Adding Carle and Lindback will definitely help them. But we all know the Rangers will take the cup. :cool:
They'll take a cup, just not the Stanley Cup...Quote:

With this season teams need to come out of the gate hard and fast!! AND stay healthy!! With a short training camp I can guess we'll see a lot of injuries early on though some of these guys had been playingQuote:

For those interested (and I don't know why) the Rangers will open in Boston, and the Devils will open at the Islanders. But none of it matters because THE WASHINGTON CAPITALS WILL WIN IT ALL!!!
I'm so stoked!!! LETS GO CAPS!!!
I think it's fair to say that none of our teams have gotten off to the start we wanted. But holy cr@p Kenny! WTF happened in Washington? I was sure they were going to come flying out of the gate and that WAS & the Rangers would be fighting for the #1 seed, not the #8!
It's pathetic. What's happening in the phone booth is pathetic. At this point I'd be happy just to not finish in dead last. The question now is who gets traded first.
Many surprises here. Rangers honestly not surprising me, underperforming as one can expect.
Though Chicago is now 9-0, I am putting my bets on Blackhawks vs. Lightning for the cup battle....Tampa Bay on top.
Not worried about the Rangers!! They are showing signs of waking up and love the infusion of Young Guns on this team!! And when youQuote:

ruined them!! Ovechkin looks lost and uninspired out there as do others!!
If Melrose knew wtf he was talking about, he'd still be a head coach somewhere...almost as bad as Mike Milbury. When a team goes through 4 playing systems in three years, it's going to take a bit to re-find an identity. I'll be patient but I also hold no hope for this season.
Hey, we might actually win a game!
