maz Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I can't exactly blame the bandwagon fans and "yinzers" for being outraged at the Penguins right now, being that they are making the same mistakes that killed them last year (in fact, it seems like they're making them more). But they are fixable mistakes, however painful they are to watch. And it's not like the Leafs and Isles are bad teams anymore, because they aren't by any means. I'd give it a while before we start calling for Bylsma's head like a lot of people are already doing.It's not like over-complicating things is a terminal illness. Eventually they'll stop trying to make the fancy cool-looking play and turning it over every possession on a dumb forced pass because of it. If there's anything to be pissed about, it should be how nobody seems to want to battle for the puck anymore and they constantly get outworked in all three zones.

ninersdd Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Halifax looks like a cool little port city and I hope to visit one day, but with a population of less than 400,000 I don't think they'd be able to support an NHL team in the long-term. sort of on-topic sidenote: one of my favorite internet activities is getting on google earth and looking at cities I've never been to. Anyone else?Yeah, it's kinda cool going on there and looking at soccer stadiums across the globe.

NEW.ERA Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 There's always Kansas City. Using the "If you build it, they will come" line. I doubt St Louis has a grip on that market. Milwaukee would make some sense as some have said, new building would benefit the Bucks too, though the there's that Chicago quandary. Southern Ontario is the only place that makes sense for Canada, Saskatoon and Halifax aren't nearly big enough, yeah Winnipeg's small, but it's not Saskatoon or Halifax.What about Houston? Top five largest city in the States, Toyota Center works, plus they have Hockey roots with the Aeros being there forever.

njmeadowlanders Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Shoulder subluxation for Ryan Callahan...only 10-14 days. Could've been a lot worse. Gotta use your head though. Fighting has its place, but I'm so sick of the fighting-just-for-the-hell-of-it fights. Wasn't worth it this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 What about Houston? Top five largest city in the States, Toyota Center works, plus they have Hockey roots with the Aeros being there forever.I seem to recall reading something a couple of years back that the current Rockets ownership has absolutely no desire to own an NHL team at present. Sees as the Rockets run the arena, well....good luck finding somebody else to own a team there.

So that would be a bad gamble. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalktoChuck Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The end of that game was just non-sense. Even the end of regulation was weird, Gagne got tangled up with a Coyote who had obviously pulled Gagne down, yet Gagne got called for the penalty which led to the Coyotes tying the game with about a minute to go. I don't understand how you call Gagne for that penalty without giving the Coyote a penalty as well.And then of course you had the chaos of the game winning goal in overtime.

The_Admiral Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I thought it was going to be coincidental minors with Gagner and Johnson or Doan, who laid a dirty hit on Horcoff amidst all that confusion.
