2006/2007 Hockey Season Thread

Allegiance is right. On the subject of the fantasy teams, I think my success will depend on how well Minnesota and Columbus do, since I have Nash, Gaborik and Demitra likely to be my top-three point getters (although Iginla is a possibility)

If the Habs don't stop retiring numbers, they are going to run out

Thank god they haven't had anyone good for the last 10 years, so there is no threat of losing numbers down the road.

Damn, it just clued in to me today at work that the season is getting very close to beginning. I watch all through the season, but for some reason I start out checking the off season happenings, and then forget about it again right up until the season starts, so I have no idea what teams have improved their rosters, and who hasn't.

I forfeit my right to be Canadian.

I got the offensive defencemen I wanted, plus Jason Spezza who many predict could top the league in points.

I have Lidstron, McCabe, Zidlicky, Kenny Johnsson (a gamble, but he will be running the Wild's PP). I just lack a goalie.

EDIT - And where the fuck is the Stajan talk? He was resigned to a 2 year deal worth 1.75 million! COME ON GUYS, you missed the ball on this one.

Maple Leafs sign Doug Gilmour.

(to a front office position, but come on, with their track record would it suprise you to see him on the ice?)

Whoa GYS just posted 16 minutes ago, dude I havent seen you post around here for quite a while, however it IS possible I've been living under a rock...I'm still waiting on my fantasy team in my pool but I have a good feeling this year

[NobBe Nobbs]

He pops in here every so often and posts, but not nearly enough. We need more goddamned Leafs fans around.

[NobBe Nobbs]

No, the rest of you goddamn Canadian-team fans are starting to outnumber us, and now Hajj and Two have shown up and really bucked the trend by backing shitty American teams ()

...oh fuck, it's worse than I thought

I show up once in awhile to check on the LAW in the Dome. Usually I'll gander at Cube hockey-related stories, though I've basically given up on reading dynasties of any sort.

If anyone here is looking to join an Eastside Hockey Manager online league, I've been authorized to invite you to join The Pool, a hockey league full of excellent GMs and then the asshole who runs the Avalanche. Also, the Commisioner runs a team and it's totally rigged. But GYS is in it.

PS: Hajjhowe is BANNED.

When I told my brother we had signed Gilmour, my brother actually thought that he was going to play. That was funny.

So there is the new look Sabres.. or Rams, whatever you want to call them.

They look horrible, I mean its great for them to go back to the blue/yellow color scheme, but that is just making me want to throw up. Interesting concept with the number on the chest though. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY BUYER!
