NHL

I can't stand Crosby.

 

I think that Ice Hockey is an interesting sport, but I hate NHL. In NHL, open violence is torelated. And NHL rinks are smaller than international standard. The result is excessive phisical contact and less goals.
I have an opinion about Ice Hockey.

1. The rink must be 30m*60m
2. Violence is illegalised
3. Body check is illegalised (in women's Ice Hockey, body check is illegal.)
4. from 20min*3 to 15m*4
5. Reduce the number of on-ice players from 6 to 5

 

I disagree. I think the NHL is fine as it is. Contact makes the game worth watching. One thing I don't like is when players jump a guy after a clean hit.

There's a new format being introduced next year. 4 conferences as opposed to two. Means that in theory a Vancouver - Chicago Stanley Cup Final is possible.

Conference A
Anaheim
Calgary
Colorado
Edmonton
Los Angeles
Phoenix
San Jose
Vancouver

Conference B
Chicago
Columbus
Dallas
Detroit
Minnesota
Nashville
St. Louis
Winnipeg

Conference C
Boston
Buffalo
Florida
Montreal
Ottawa
Tampa Bay
Toronto

Conference D
Carolina
New Jersey
NY Islanders
NY Rangers
Philadelphia
Pittsburgh
Washington

Top 4 teams from each conference go to the playoffs.

 

Crosby out again. Early retirement on the cards?

 

I think he might be done. That was only what? 8 games? And out indefinitely already. I think he just has to take several months away from hockey to do whatever and forget about it for a while.

 

Shout out for my Boston Bruins Stanley Cup Champions

 

Montreal Canadiens fan?

 

Nope. Guess again

Vancouver. Hate the Bruins. For obvious reasons haha. Love Boston as a city though. And I'm a huge Red Sox fan.

 

Are you from the States?

 

No, I'm from Scotland. I've been lucky enough to visit the US quite a few times though, and I've got loads of family all over Canada.

I became a Red Sox fan when I was over in the States just before the 2004 playoffs started. I'll never forget that Yankees series. And I've been a Canucks fan for about 12 years now.

 

Born a Bruins fan, Red Sox etc. Never had a choice. Wouldn't have it any other way.

 

Capitals getting pumped 5-0 by the Devils

 

Ottawa senators 4-1 ny Huns :bbpd:

 

I watched the Boston Bruins game, it was great won 3-1 coming from a goal down, superb goals all 3. krejci is immense.

 

Annoying how they moved the NHL from espn to premier sports I don't have that channel. The Streams are * .

 

Yasss good win for dallas there in the shoot out.

 

Ano, the games are on that premier sports channel now, I wish sky/espn would do the playoffs at least. Streams are * as you need a clear picture to see the tiny puck, you end up relying on the reaction of the players to see if its a goal on these blury streams. Better than nothing i suppose. Vancouver v Torronto game is good just now 1-1 going into the 3rd.

 

Ano channel 5 used to have coverage of the NHL to but I think it's becoming less popular every year dunno why its the best sport over there!
Ps winnipeg jets are the new thrashers mate that who Vancouver are playing.

 

Yeah the its the jets,no the leafs. 2-2 now, Vancouver have been all over them. Yeah it's the best American sport, intense and any team can beat any team, totally unpredictable.
