Get them to bed earlier!

I'm trying!

But that's the problem of being a fan living in MST, of a CST-based team that is stuck in the EST - all the games will start at either 6:30, or as early as 5.

I wouldn't say that.  Role Players are your 3rd line guys - Ladd is good enough to be on anyone's top line.  Now neither of them are league superstars to be sure, but easily both are first line (or first pairing) material.

They were 3rd liners here...

Right. Jets.

I hope they get us Gamer Center Live/Ice free this season. Make us Whole, NHL.

Not. Going. To. Happen.

I think I might try out Game Centre Live this year, instead of Centre Ice.

Big Buff was on the 1st line.

(of course now we have him on defence)

They just fought a war that has completely devastated the viability of the league in the US outside traditional strongholds.  What makes you think that the league is going to be giving anything away for free?

1st line there?  Aight, I guess.

1st line here?  No.  1st Power Play Unit sometimes, when Net Presence was required...

If nothing else, I sleep well at night knowing that Chicago is one of those Traditional US Strongholds...

The thing about Game Centre / Centre Ice is that it is only the hard core fans who care about watching a bunch of out-of-market games anyways, and hard-core fans are the least likely to go anywhere as a result of the lockout.

You just have to accept the fact the Jets suck BB.

Fancy!  The Caps will enjoy skating over that en route to one of their many goals.

Unless they totally suck it up like they did last regular season...though frankly I am fine with that if it leads to another playoff run like last year.
