dbadefense1990 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 There can't be more than 7,000 people in the stands in Miami tonight.So many casual fickle fans occupy South Beach. No wonder it's one of the worst sports cities in America.Miami fans: where "no stadium sellouts despite LeBron, the World Series, Marino, and the U" happen.

The_Admiral Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Tomas Kopecky just had the saddest hat trick I've ever seen. Two hats. Fewer hats than goals. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Lightning drop a 2-1 decision to the last place Sabres at home.Well, I wish I were shocked, but I'm really not with this enigmatic team. And their upcoming four game roadtrip through the northeast could be death. Only going to New York, Boston, Pittsburgh, and New Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Well the Rangers suck, so don't worry about that one.I know it's early, and I'm probably overreacting a bit, but he wasn't that good last year considering the contract and he's been virtually invisible this season.The mystery player? Brad Richards. You're going to start hearing calls for the 2nd amnesty buyout (#1 was Wade Redden) for him come the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 The Blue Jackets are now without their top three centers (anisimov, brassard, Dubinsky) and without their best dmen (wisnirwski, j Johnson). Oh and their number one pick (Ryan Murray) is injured for the season. Curse continues, we just need something to pin it on. Nothing worse than a curse with no origin.Somehow they still managed to scrape a loser point out of Dallas by coming back 4 times! They're scrappy alright.

BigEd76 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Flyers re-acquire 2010 Playoff hero Simon Gagne: http://flyers.nhl.co...ge.htm?id=64095Jeez, is he seriously only 32 (for another few days, at least)? Seems like he's been around forever.Well, he was born on a February 29, so he's really much older than just 32...Wrong way. He's much younger....only 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible. Hank can't do it all himself.No. I'm just calling it as I see it. His contract could be an albatross. Not that he's bad or anything. But if you have a chance to rid yourself of that contract, I think you seriously have to do it.Is he the only reason they're struggling? Not one bit. There's a lot of problems that have dated back a bit. Last season was a bit of an aberration. This is more of the same from 80, 09, 10, and 11.On edit: He's got a 6.67 million cap hit from now until 2020. No other Ranger currently is signed beyond 2014 (RFA's technically aren't signed yet) except Nash, JT Miller on his entry level deal, and Marc Staal. Not even Lundqvist. There's going to have to be a discussion on the matter. Just has to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElwoodCuse Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I don't understand why they're so set on this four-conference thingIt's the best way to justify expanding to 32 teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I don't understand why they're so set on this four-conference thingIt's the best way to justify expanding to 32 teams Maybe--but since they have 30 teams--and it is possibel to do divisions & conferences with an equal number of teams in each it makes no sense to do unequal conferences--even with their wild card set up.It's screwy.If they were back to a situation with an odd number of teams that didn't split up easily--I could see unequal divisions--but when you can do it--you should.

DaytonBlue Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Yeah this new realignment proposal doesn't make a whole lot of sense:-Eastern teams have less of a chance at playoffs-if PHX moves to QC or a team is added in the east if they expand to 32, would CBJ or DET be sent right back to west-how is Montreal and Boston in a "Central" divisionI can solve the division name problem: Pacific and Central are in the Campbell Conference, Atlantic and East are in the Wales Conference The should use last year's proposal except move CBJ to one of the Eastern divisions. DET said last year they would stay in the west if they only had to go to the west coast teams once a year.

This year I'll be happy with Seth Jones, or Mackinnon, or Drouin, or Barkov.But watch the Blue Jackets fall out of the top 4 with the new lottery rules. Fun fact: They've never moved up in the draft lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
