NHL Hockey thread

Apparently the NHLPA has vetoed realignment, which means the Jets will play a second season in the southeast division.

That's Ok, it's apparently a fun division this year!

7 points to the 8th seed.

Can they make it?

7 points to the 8th seed.

Can they make it?

There's lots of time for a team that can play well consistently.

Hopefully not. Top 5 pick, god damn it.

But it's the Habs he's talking about.

Meanwhile the Jets are only one point back from a tie for 8th, and only 5 points back from the division leading Panthers.  Of course they are not a team that has played with consistency either.  But if they can find some consistency...

and on to tonight - its Sharks at Jets.  Katmai I'm calling you out.  San Jose is going DOWN tonight - mark my words!

I Predict a San Jose victory here

Given YOUR history of hockey predictions (look back at my OP) then the Jets victory is assured.

we should do a playoff pool this year

[Valmy]

If we do I am picking against the Caps.

I said something nice about them last Friday in the thread and they rewarded me with two humiliating blowout losses 

Naturally I decided to just not watch the game last night and watch the U of Texas basketball game instead and of course they won.

Clearly they do best when I am filled with despair and loathing.

Camarelli is gone.  He'll be playing with the Flames.  Rene Bourque is coming to Montreal.

[PRC]

Rene Bourque sucks... this is a steal for the Flames.

[Barrister]

Bah.

[Zoupa]

Rene Bourque sucks... this is a steal for the Flames.

Camalleri is getting paid 6 million and has 9 goals this year.

Please steal some more, Calgary.

[Grey Fox]

Rene Bourque sucks... this is a steal for the Flames.

All the players involve sucks. It's a wash.

[PRC]

It's true Camalleri's salary is outrageous.  The hope there is that he can reignite the good chemistry with Iginla when he was with the Flames the first time around.  I heard Gauthier say that they wanted Bourque "Because they needed players who went to the tough areas" and I laughed out loud... that is not Rene Bourque at all.  He has a really good shot, but he is an incredibly lazy hockey player.
