Sound Off On The NHL

Who Is In Charge of the Remote?

What I would like to know is who runs the NHL marketing? In the summer I get MLB.TV for Red Sox games. It is 20$ a month has every game in great quality plus every other teams game except In my case I don’t get Blue Jays games, but who cares….who wants to watch the J”aaa”ys anyway?
As for the NHL online Centre Ice it is $15.00 a day. Yes just for that day!

It is also $200 from the start of the season. The full $200.Plus there are blackouts as well. Right now it is going for $160 for the rest of the season.Why can’t the NHL look at MLB.TV and get it right.

Make NHL centre ice online $20 a month like MLB and maybe more people would purchase it.

Buffalo – Where are You?

Is there a softer team in the NHL than the Buffalo Sabres? Hey Darcy Regier, your team needs a physical Presence badly! Do you remember Darcy last year in the playoffs when Ottawa body checked the heck out of your team? Did you see Ryan Miller getting “knocked over” the other night and the Sabres did nothing about it?

How can you sit up there in your warm booth and watch that crap. Your team just gets rag-dolled around?

One more thing Darcy….tell Lindy Ruff to keep Patrick Kaleta up on the big team. Or wait – never mind, Kaleta has passion and he hits like a battering ram, which is exactly what the Sabres need more of. I guess players like that are “unusual” to the team you are putting together.

Do You Believe in Karma?

You should ask Kevin Lowe if he believes in it now.

Shawn Horcoff was enjoying an all-star season and BAM! Gone for the season. Sheldon Souray, who has a history of injuries, was brought in this summer to bolster the blue line for an obscene amount of money….BAM out for the season.

I know I know the Oilers keep saying that Souray is on the IR, but come on peopleb Souray is done for the season.

Somewhere Brian Burke is doing the Irish jig right now!

Senator Goalie Woes

I am going to go on record right now and say the Ottawa Senators will not win the cup this year.

Gerber and Emery as their goalies = No chance. Bryan Murray should be getting a goalie fast.

Goalies that might be available: Khabibulin, maybe Biron out of Philly since he can’t grab the reigns there either. Or perhaps call Edmonton; maybe Rollie the goalie has one more fairy tale ride left in him.

Superstar Watch

Alexander Ovechkin is better than Sid the kid – enough said.

Young Guns

Personally, I think the Chicago Blackhawks are the most exciting team to watch. This team has a bright future!

The Rangers had a strong cast last season, then they added Chris “clutch” Drury and Scotty Gomez. Is anybody else wondering why they are 28-24-6 and in 4th place in the Atlantic Division?

Osgood Rocks

How is Red Wings goalie Chris Osgood doing it? I mean the guy is 22-4-2 has 3 goose eggs and a 923sv%, is Detroit just really that good up front? My fantasy right now is seeing Calgary’s Dion Phaneuf catching The Isles Mike Comrie coming across the blue line with his head down. BAM!

Comments anyone?
Till next time!
