2010-2011 NHL Season Thread

There might not be anyone better to be honest. He gets like right on the crease too, so if he goes like a step back it's borderline interference lol. Only other person that annoys goalies as much, but scores less, is Avery.

It's so weird actually seeing Modano with the Wings, and not wearing #9. Like I'm like, who the hell is 90 on the Wings, then they said his name.

Just another reminder since I know a lot of people are checking the forums during the games tonight - fantasy draft is in 2 days, Sunday night at 9:30 pm EST.

Wouldn't be a Wings game without a disallowed goal! Enough contact there that I can't complain about it, could have gone either way.

We got a 14th lined up?

[Callisto]

Pretty solid showing for some of the young guys, Morin still looks great. That no-name who took two penalties in the first will be cut in the morning, lol.

No im just gonna make it 12 unless a last second volunteering to join by Rata or Brill. Motivation for people to show up to the draft

And no Thoronas, dont worry!

How much are pre-season tickets there anyway?
Here, there's no real change from the regular season prices. (Though I'd assume if you're a season ticket holder those come included, but that might be asking too much from teams)

Don't even get me started on pre-season tickets. They're the exact same price as regular season tickets. And as a season-ticket holder, they're included and I don't have the choice to not buy them. Meanwhile, I've been reading on a Rangers forum that I lurk around, that people who are buying in now for partial/full plans are being GIVEN pre-season tickets. Don't get me wrong, I love going to pre-season games...next Friday will be the first time in like 2 seasons I've gotten to go to one and I dig seeing the roster battles... but it's horse shit that I'm forced to buy them, while new ticket holders are getting them free to lure them in.

Then again, the Rangers are pretty shitty to their ticket holders. Every season I get...a fucking drawstring bag with my tickets...this year they downgraded it to a heavy-paper bag that I'm willing to bet they'll be giving away for free at the team store as part of their commemorative 85th season celebration. Last season was my 5th year of having my tickets, I kept getting calls from my rep (who by the way, is like my 3rd-4th rep in 5 years, they keep fucking switching them!) to ask when I'd be at a game because they had a special 5-year gift for me...it was a pin..a fucking pin.

I'm sort of curious if STH's elsewhere are treated so poorly, I doubt it.

And BTW - I'm going to miss the live draft this year. I've got somewhere to be at 8:00, no real chance I'll be home. I doubt I can do the draft from my ipone

Biznatch I said I'd do it, but by virtue of me being a Rangers fan you hath ignored meh.

We already got Rangers person in the league so its not that haha Trust me, your team has to be successful to be to be hated, to develop a rivalry. No one loathes the Kansas City Chiefs. Just like no one cares about the Rangers.

[Selamis]

Oh, snap.

[Thoronas]

And no Thoronas, dont worry!

Wut?

[Sepukku]

Wut?

Were you the one not being there Sunday evening?

[Thoronas]

Oh yeah I was. I'm going to be on a ferry from 6 until 7:30 which apparently will have wifi so I may be able to do the first couple of rounds of the draft. I don't want to be the guy with Nabokov as my #1 goalie -.-

[Selamis]

Yes, I was aware of that, lol. That's what makes it weird, dude has worn 9 all his life, but now he's on a team where it's retired.

[Bregor]

Honestly that's the one thing that tilts me about EA NHL games. You call someone up or make a trade and all the jersey numbers get screwed up. One time they had Tom Poti wearing #5 for some reason, I threw up in my mouth a little.

[Callisto]

So my modem shit the bed last night, we're trying to get it swapped out today, but if I can't I may need some assistance since my phone doesn't support Flash

[Palin]

Wade Redden to be placed on waivers at noon today, #NYRangers announce.

OH HAPPY DAY.
