Nhl thread

What is the spengler cup? I see they are playing hc davos stadium and it has jokerit from the khl playing canada just now :S Who are these canadian fellows on the team ? Doesn't look good for the khl when these canucks are beating them.


Also I hear ovechkin is off to the khl at the end of the year, good move for everyone i think, big long contract and not really being a huge superstar to justify it.. Ovechkin doesnt seem so happy in the nhl anymore and the crapitals could use the cap space.

The Ruskies don't make players like they used to. Ovechkin is a decent player as was Kovalchuk but they aren't the players Russia USED to produce Federov, Bure, Molgilny, Larionov, Makarov, etc. Those dudes were bad as hell. Pavel Bure was one of my favorite players when I was growing up.

Great bench-clearing brawl from the '87 world juniors, Canada vs Russia

My winter hockey season starts up this Tuesday night, I will be playing for a new team (one with a few more ringers ) and hopefully we will be ready to compete for the cup.

I've got my sights set on a hatty for the first match...I will of course get disappointed if I don't score, but I really just hit my stride at the end of last season.

#98 in your program but #1 in your hearts!

Canada wins a nail biter in the world juniors and breaks the drought!

Lost a close one in the first game, I notched an assist but that was just about it. I skated well, we had a good full team and we hustled, just have to hone our chemistry a bit and we'll be set.

Next game coming up Sunday vs a team we really should beat, I was disappointed not to get a goal the last game, but I'm going to really gun for it Sunday....see if I can't get 2-3 in there


Been watching The Don Cherry Story on Netflix....good old Grapes, what an institution that guy is. Love him or hate him he's a lively dude.
