NHL 2011-2012 Season

Can't see the Rangers being in a 2nd WC so soon... it'll definitely be a Canadian team for the next WC and it'll be held in Canada...Phili can't even stop their rink from melting

It's 9 (48) degrees in Phili right now...It's -4 (24) in Ottawa

Canada has the Heritage Classic while the US is reserved for the Winter Classic.

Philly shouldn't have been in two this fast and neither should Pittsburgh have

I have no issues with the Pens and Flyers being in two already, who else you goign to have from the US? Columbus vs Nashville?
Florida Vs Tampa? Islanders Vs Carolina? Anaheim Vs Dallas?
The WC is limited to about 8 US teams that would always have to account for one of the teams.

 

[HeadlessGree]

Minnesota or Colorado could have been done by now

 

[xjamiex]

I'm predicting the Rangers will win today...with Staal being back in the lineup and with the confidence of going 7-3-0 in their last ten, they'll have no problem shutting down Phili today.

Laviolette will be pissed

 

[HeadlessGree]

plus they got rid of that scab Avery

Pierre McGuire has to be the dumbest commentator in NHL history...thank God TSN dumped his ******* when they did, he points out the most obvious crap.... "It's windy and quite loud."

Yea thanks Pierre, it's pretty obvious you dummy

Hahaha! Pierre McGuire..the Himmler of Hockey.

My favourite Pierre video is when he interviews Byfuglien..so creepy!

The slow motion makes me laugh so hard

Winter Classic is actually a great game this year, I'm really enjoying it! Hard hits, fast paced, good goaltending and some great shots!

Plus, as much as I think Pierre is an idiot, you gotta love some of his comments for the lolz

Who is this Pierre guy you speak of? I am watching this game on HNIC. No Pierre...

Just switched over to CBC..I thought the game was only on NBC. Anyways, Pierre Mcguire is an old TSN commentator who recently got hired by NBC.

He is a bald buffoon who makes an ass out of himself and makes the worst comments on the game

Why not have those teams?? You could easily have Colorado in a Classic by now, or Minnesota. You could have Detroit host a classic vs any one of the other western teams. There is a western conference in the NHL you know. I would have loved to see Selanne and the Ducks in a WC wearing their old school jerseys. Or the Kings wearing one of their many old jersey styles. No reason why Carolina or Tampa couldn't have faced the Rangers or any other North Eastern team. Carolina could have worn the old Whale jerseys.

You make the assumption I wouldnt like them either, indeed Col or Minn would be good choices, but not the draw NBC and the NHL want, its a shame really, old School Kings jersey would be awesome, so many choices.

 

[The Ringer]

The NHL is all about the $$$$$ and a majority of the cash cows are in the east.

 

[The Craw]

Yeah, it's funny that the NHL is trying to make money but yet they insist on keeping teams in the south.

They would make just as much money with the Wild hosting the Ducks in a WC. You think MN fans aren't gonna pay to sit outside and watch hockey??? They do that all winter long anyway.

I'm a Flyers fan but I'd love to see an Avalanche/ Wings WC.

Oh that baffoon. btw I know who he is. I only wished I didn't. He used to work for my Pittsburgh Penguins as well.
