Thread: Any Hockey Fans Out There????

Looking at the standings finally

Been pretty hectic since Christmas here

Aves are in the middle of the mix at least

Yeah funny how teams can be cup winners one year and middle of the pack next year or two. Thanks to the salary cap the days of dynasty teams are gone. I actually think it's a good thing. It keeps everyone on the same plane and works to keep players humble. Take Stamkos for instance. His contract came up and he played chicken and lost. Now there's talk of the preds trading him. Don't get me wrong, I like him but they get the big head about themselves. Salary cap is a check and balance that makes the competition fierce and the pack tight.

Honestly I haven't really seen how the west is shaking out. Boy the east is tight.

The Blackhawks have ruined the sport for me. I can’t even watch this dysfunctional organization floundering at the bottom of the league anymore. They should be in line for another first pick overall…..that they will waste.

I hate that for you and for them. They seem to be snake bitten. It"s like they're cursed (not that I believe in that). Even stars like Bedard are not performing to expectations. I don't understand it. They've had a coaching change. Maybe they need a management change? Hopefully their luck will change soon.

They aren’t cursed. Cursed by shitty management maybe. Yes, they had a coaching change but not a good one. They went cheap again and pulled someone from the wreckage to fill in. What they need is an owner that wants to win. Then he gets a GM that didn’t come from the Cubs of all places. Bedard is wasting away.

Just sayin'

Congratulations but I don't think that will stop the booing as the reason for it still exists.

True, in the scheme of things that tournament means nothing. The hostility toward the US remains and will be shown in other venues too.

This thread is about hockey not politics. Can we please keep it that way?
