The Flames have clearly learned nothing from the Panthers and are hiring Mike Keenan.

damn, they needed to get rid of playfair, he was a pussy...but this may have been a little extreme...hopefully iginla and tanguay's veteran leadership can work with keenan's style (a la 1994 mark messier).

Chris Gratton got traded back to Tampa, which is probably some indication that they are going to move Richards.

6/14/2007 6:49:55 PM

Some fucking NMA fighter bullshit is on instead of the NHL Awards

WTF

Will now be seen at 11 PM EST

What a terrible fucking network

if they'd just get the motherfucking NHL Network on tv in the states, this shit wouldn't be a problem

6/14/2007 9:02:47 PM

It's on now.

The sheer Canadian-ness of this broadcast never ceases to crack me up.

6/14/2007 11:27:33 PM

watching just only the trophy presentation of the NBA finals trophy, i gotta say the stanley cup is more exciting x1000

6/14/2007 11:56:36 PM

Bettman was not amused when MacLean said, "Gotta wrap this up, NBC's about to cut to a horse race."

6/15/2007 4:00:11 AM

Samsonov to Chicago for Jassen Cullimore and Tony Salmelainen. Montreal will buy out Cullimore.

6/16/2007 1:29:12 PM

Wow. I did not think there would be any team out there willing to take a gamble on Samsonov's salary. I guess you could put him on a line with Havlat and hope he can regain some of his scoring form but I'm not betting on it.

Montreal wins this trade for the time being.

6/18/2007 6:55:48 AM

Samsonov has tons of potential.....but the Hawks need defense

interesting move

Not really sure what the predators were thinking. Hartnell and Timmonen for the same pick they gave up for forsberg.

6/18/2007 5:37:43 PM

werent both of them going to be UFAs?

6/18/2007 5:42:03 PM

I can tell you exactly what they were thinking.

Firesale.

Stock up draft picks and young players, and in a few years the team will be ready to emerge from the shitter just as it is moving to Hamilton.

[Edited on June 18, 2007 at 5:42 PM. Reason : Hamilton Predators]

6/18/2007 5:42:16 PM

^they agreed to multiyear contracts with philly

6/18/2007 5:42:45 PM

and Philly has already overpaid those 2 guys.

6/18/2007 5:43:44 PM

Haha yeah I just looked at the salary amounts. Flyers rule the shitter

I like the Caps going back to the good unis.. where'd you find that stuff?

6/20/2007 12:45:03 AM

People at HFBoards.com digging around the NHL site and shop. They will be slowly releasing all of the new jerseys over the course of the summer, starting with this weekend at the draft. I'm a fan of the Caps new one as well.

6/20/2007 12:49:30 AM

The logo looks good, but I'm not really a fan of the sweater. To be blunt, though, I don't think I'm going to be a fan of any of the EDGE sweaters...they look like roller hockey unis.

6/20/2007 3:50:56 AM

Blackhawks do not need defense, they need offense. I guess you do not keep up with them much becuase they have about three or four good prospects with about 2 years experience now. They need guys to put pucks in the net. And they need a new owner.

Not awful, but looks like the girl-cut from two years ago. I like the Orr-style shoulders.

theres going to be more to that jersey, i think. someone just took an allstar jersey photo ans slapped a bj logo on it

6/21/2007 10:05:15 PM

Aucoin to Flames per TSN.CA

6/21/2007 11:11:51 PM

Weird move. They're not wrong to try to get the shot count down, but Kipper keeps things under control most nights. What they need is goal support.

Leafs needed a starter and the Sharks needed to get rid of one of their two. QUALITY.

6/22/2007 3:08:34 PM

I think it's a better deal for the sharks since they have Nabokov, and Bell didn't do shit last year.

6/22/2007 3:19:21 PM

There goes Nashville.

Vokoun to Florida for a first and two seconds

6/22/2007 4:41:48 PM

mark recchi and gary roberts have both signed one year deals to stay with the Pens

Pittsburgh's depth chart:

LW - ? C - Jordan Staal RW - ?
LW - ? C - Angelo Esposito RW - ?

6/22/2007 9:20:32 PM

^somebody there will be playing wing

i think in a couple of years it will look like this

lw- crosby - esposito
staal- malkin - rw
