They haven't played a game there yet, but the Winnipeg Jets have already had more financial success than the Atlanta Thrashers. #NHL # People overreacting to the new Jets logo. It's cool. My beef: why not the Avro Arrow outline? That would have been sick. #NHL # Osgood has the numbers to be a hall [...]
Even though it's cool to have them back, it's still odd to see the name Winnipeg in transactions. #NHL # The Heatley for Havlat trade might be fairly even talent wise, but the #Sharks save over $2M in cap space. #NHL #
If the #NHL goes back to four divisions, they'll also have to modify or drop playoff seeding. Top 3 from each division and 2 wild cards? #
Another Sedin wins the Art Ross. So glad they're not triplets. #NHLAwards # Some kid named Lidstrom wins the Norris. He could be good some day. #NHLAwards # Jagr wanting to go to the Pens sounds like a man who wants to go out like Mark Recchi: with a Cup win. #
Game 7 earns best TV rating for NHL game since 1974 http://is.gd/xMWF0I # #StanleyCup footnote: Mark Recchi was the only Bruin on the current roster that was alive when they last captured the Cup in 1972. # Congratulations to the Boston Bruins on a hard fought, deserved Cup. Tim Thomas was stellar and is rightfully [...]
If Canucks fans only chose, Lapierre might be Conn Smythe winner. Good thing they don't, as Bruins' Thomas has been best of the playoffs. # Getting the sense that first goal wins. Power play goals will be critical, but hard to come by. # Look for the power play opportunities to even out in the [...]
Burrows makes the most out of his non-suspension, figuring in all three Canuck goals (2G, 1A). NHL discipline with egg on its face again. # What was Thomas doing on that goal? Canucks in a geat spot up 2-0 now. Burrows the first star of this one. #StanleyCup # Despite last second heroics from Torres, [...]
Potential new suitor for the Thrashers might throw a wrench into Winnipeg's dream. #NHL # Considering how long Malhotra's been sidelined, he should wait and appear in the first Cup clinching game or if the Canucks really need him. # Stat of the day: Nathan Horton has 8 goals this postseason, and Boston has won [...]
Loyal #Sharks fans start using #failthewhale on Twitter against the #Canucks http://bit.ly/iPDiR6 #NHLPlayoffs # If the MTS Centre sells out every home game in Winnipeg, they'd be 23rd in attendance…2K more than the #Thrashers had this year. #NHL # If/when the #Thrashers move to Winnipeg, the alignment that makes the most sense is Winnipeg to [...]
Shocking news that the Boogeyman is dead. Thoughts and prayers to Derek Boogaard's family. 28 is too young. #NHL # Eastern Final: #Lightning playing like their Cup win but there's no quit in this #Bruins team. A toss up, but Boston in 7. #NHLPlayoffs # Western Final: call me a sucker, but this is the [...]
