[goalieboy82]

and schedule is out.

also see the winter and heritage classic logos on the nhl home page.

[NEW.ERA]

Schedule is out now.

And the logos for the Heritage & Winter Classic are both on the splash page.

[NEW.ERA]

The Flames and Coyotes both get to close out their season. By having their final 20 games all come against Western Conference opponents.

[NEW.ERA]

End of an Era. & Nathan Horton is a Bruin.

Scott Niedermayer expected to announce his retirement later today.

Also the Panthers have dealt Nathan Horton to Boston, No word on the return.

[charger77]

Quinn steps down as Oilers coach Tom Renney takes over

[NEW.ERA]

Update on the Horton deal.

TO BOSTON:

F Nathan Horton

F Gregory Campbell

TO FLORIDA:

D Dennis Wideman

15th Overall Pick

3rd Round Pick in 2011

The Tallon era starts off on the right foot.

[Audiodrama]

Update on the Horton deal.

TO BOSTON:

F Nathan Horton

F Gregory Campbell

TO FLORIDA:

D Dennis Wideman

15th Overall Pick

3rd Round Pick in 2011

The Tallon era starts off on the right foot.

Wideman's gone! Praise jeebus!

[The_Admiral]

Nathan Horton is gonna suck eggs on a non-sham team just like Bouwmeester, but I'm not sure Wideman is really that great, so it's just a blah trade to me.

[RedRenesis]

Glad to see the NHL has a sense of humor, they scheduled Montreal into the new Pens barn as quick as they could.

[The_Admiral]

They also gave the house team 20 straight games within the conference to make a late run more meaningful.

[Sport]

At 3 pm on Friday October 8, the Blue Jacket kick off their season from Stockholm. That's cool. For at least one day I'll know what it's like to be a west coast sports fan.

other notes on the Blue Jackets' schedule

- Home and Home with Detroit on November 26, and November 28

- December 4 at home against Pittsburgh. These recent Penguins v. Blue Jackets games in Columbus have been very successful. If it weren't for being in different conferences this would easily develop into a rivalry.

- They're playing 11 games in January, 8 of them on the road.

- they have 3 road trips of 4 games. Their longest home stand is 3 games.

- their last game against Detroit is on March 17th. This is contrary to the recent trend of leaving 2 or 3 games against the same divisional opponent until the last week.

- that's a lot of midweek home games

- ending the season with Buffalo? Por que?

[NEW.ERA]

Yeah just goes to show that the Heritage Classic will have little to no viewer support in the States.

Going up against "Hockey Day in America"

Feb 20th

Washington at Buffalo, 3:00 p.m.

Philadelphia at N.Y. Rangers, 3:00 p.m.

Pittsburgh at Chicago, 4:00 p.m.

Detroit at Minnesota, 6:00 p.m.

Montreal at Calgary, 6:00 p.m.

[Subi]

Modano open to playing for another team.

Modano playing for anyone but the Stars just seems wrong.

[The_Admiral]

He won't. He has nothing to offer but his fading looks.

Union voted the right way, 2011 cap is 59.61 with a bonus cushion. Put away your "Patrick Sharp for a 7th?" proposals, Leafs fans.

Dino and two chicks make the HHOF

[Still MIGHTY]

Scott Niedermayer has officially retired after 18 seasons in the NHL.

Just to rehash his accomplishments

- 4-time Stanley Cup champion

- 2-time Olympic gold medalist

- 6-time NHL All-Star

- 3-time First Team All-Star

- 1993 All-Rookie team

- Conn Smythe trophy

- Norris Trophy

- World Cup champion

- IIHF World Champion

- IIHF World Junior champion

- Memorial Cup junior champion

- Stafford Smythe Trophy as Memorial Cup MVP

- NHL: 172 goals, 569 assists, 1263 games

- Most overtime game-winners by a defenseman with 13

- Franchise-leading defensive scorer for the Devils and Ducks

Scotty will remain with the Ducks as a consultant.

And in his press conference, Scotty actually cried. He's never been the guy to show much emotion. Even when he won the Cup, of course he was happy, but it was still slightly subdued and composed. It was weird to see him show that kind of emotion.

I'll miss his flawless skating, his deft defensive maneuvers, and his epic playoff beard.

His number #27 should hang in the rafters in New Jersey soon, and possibly in Anaheim someday (After #8, and maybe before #35).

Thanks for the memories, Scott. Good luck in all your future endeavors.

Dino and two chicks make the HHOF

You gotta be clearer with these headlines, man. I thought for a second that they actually put Lindros in. Safe for this year, I guess. I'd prefer that he never make it in.
