So, they said Belanger has only been to the playoffs with 3 teams (Atlanta, Washington, Minnesota) And has never been out of the first round.

I guess they forgot he went to the playoffs with the LA Kings, and went to the 2nd round in 2001? Hes also the player who scored the Game 4 OT winner against the Red Wings when they Kings came back down 3-0 with 7 minutes left in the game.

It seems like the production teams never to any research. Last night the Ducks team said Lidstrom had won 3 Stanley Cups. Some news sites do it too, I remember seeing one over the summer that said the Wings had the most Stanley Cup wins, with 11.

God, Bryz is 40/42, my buddy got him as his FHL goalie, good day for him and Eckscalibur

[Callisto]

Henrik to be named captain of the Canucks today. Kesler would have been a better choice imo, but good for him, and good for Luongo to not have so much shit to worry about.

[Callisto]

aaaaand game

[Callisto]

Jackets/Sharks in 25 on NHLN!

[Ishido]

Pull Rask again lol!

I'm wondering how much of a pain it was for these European arenas to change their rinks to NHL size instead of Euro size.

Senators/Leafs - Versteeg scores 9 goals, Leafs win

400 GOAL SEASON YAUSSSSS
http://images.bluekaffee.com/avatars...esome%20hb.jpg

Habs/Pens - Without Halak, who can you believe in? Montreal has zero confidence in their net, what better team to show it to their faces?
Devils/Caps - Marty's gettin' old, but I like the O lines the devils are building. Caps just have so many weapons up front though... Caps win on home ice.
Rangers/Sabres - Ryan miller stonewalls for a few periods, but I'll take the Rangers to squeak out a low scoring winner.
Senators/Leafs - You know, the leafs generally tend to step up in "big" games. With Versteeg scoring 9 goals, surely Giguere can keep out 8?
Thrashers/Lightning - I tried to care, but alas. I have no clue what the sunbelt teams are up to. So... Lightning?
Ducks/Preds - Wow, that Ducks roster. Teemu Selanne is 40, Jason Blake (useless, believe me we tried) 37... Old fart ducks to win! LETS GO GRANDPA!
Wings @ Hawks(!!!!!!!) - Dynamite game, exciting from start to finish. Surely chicago defends on their cup night opener?
Kings @ Canucks - Canucks are angry, Luongo has something to prove. Will samuelsson produce like last year, thats the question. I'm too biased though - Canucks. Go team canada.
Flyers/Blues - Prob flyers, I like their depth, though Leighton is injured. What I really want to see is how halak fares, though. One hit wonder? Or blue ice Jesus?

Kesler hates dealing with the press. If henrik doesn't want to deal with them his brother can sub in and say he's henrik. They've been with the team longer and do alot of community service.

That would imply that the Leafs have played a game that mattered any time recently lol

Yeah, it's just odd to pick him over say Daniel, just because of one year where Daniel got hurt and Henrik broke out. Kesler is a fucking punk, but he's a hard-working player, and there's no chance of him having a twin brother who might feel a tad slighted after the past year. I personally am expecting Daniel to have a monster fucking year this year.

[Thoronas]

Henrik had the A last year, Daniel did not. It has nothing to do with his injury and everything to do with their personal dynamics.

Where are you guys watching this? 99% sure I'm going to miss the Chicago game

It's the Battle of Ontario, at leafs home ice, with the worst press town in the world, on a team completely embarrassed after last year. This team does not want to fuck this up. Toronto also has a pretty good record of beating Ottawa and Montreal despite both teams being far superior in recent years.

NHLNetwork is carrying Hawks/Wings, at least in the US, since the Canadian games are both on CBC/RDS I'd think they'd still carry it in Canada too. Other than that, currently Center Ice is offering a free trial as well, between NHLN and the Center Ice trial every game but Flyers/Blues is available on cable today.

[Callisto]

lol Stockholm pregame show has one of the bands from the NHL11 soundtrack playing the opening show

[Anton]

Ah I see you there.. Hawks/Wings 3:00AM AWW YEA. Might even stay up for it too.

[Callisto]

As San Jose/Columbus #2 is about to get under way, Nitty is starting today, but re: Niemi playing yesterday there's two ways to look at it lol:

1) He let in 2 goals in 15 seconds

2) He played 59:45 of shutout hockey
