NHL 2013 SEASON IS GO!

I just noticed the cheapest tickets in their 300 level on stubhub are...250$, are you fucking serious? How do people have that kind of money to spend?
 
Shame it had to be the Avalanche to do it, but whatever...

I think this actually makes the Blackhawks a more dangerous team now that they're not wearing a target on their backs anymore
 
...

Losing to Columbus in a shootout

after having gotten shut out by them the night before

What has this team become?
 
Second game in a row, 3 boarding hits, and no reviews by Shanahan and I have to admit it's upsetting. If you're going to give 5 games to Kaleta, those 3 hits at least could deserve one.

And rumor is MIller is being shopped, what a letdown if he goes.

Obviously he's an excellent goaltender, but maybe a goaltending change could do some good... I mean Enroth is no Miller but he's capable of becoming a number 1, but to be honest Miller is going nowhere, The return price is def going to be high, which most teams cringe on that.
 
No way Miller should be traded. Buff will just become the Panthers...though they are only separated by a few pts as we stand lol.
 
first post of this year so let me state that last year's playoff run was fucking insane! no devils fan expected the team to do anything so that run to the finals was the most fun i've had as a devils fan outside of the years they won the cup. i went to game 5 of the finals and the atmosphere was incredible and it was by far the best sporting event i've ever seen in person.

the new alignment is approved and tbh i'm not a fan. i don't like how the playoffs have changed. i wasn't a fan of the "rivalry division" schedule that they did a few years ago when you played 8 games vs each opponent in your division. you play the same team a bunch of times in the regular season and then you are automatically locked in to play the same division rival in the 1st round? fuck that. no one remembers 1st round matchups. rivalries are born when there's a finals appearance at stake.
 
Shout out to UMass Lowell for winning thier first hockey east title. They defeated the mighty Boston U and have earned a no 1 seed in the upcoming national title run. A rare and celebrated accomp thus far. I grew up and work nearby ULowell and have many ties there...go Riverhawks. Now if only the Bruins could play with the same intensity...I'd be even happier.
 
Saw them play COlorado College earlier in the year, I think they lost 5-4 and I was rooting for them, the only fan in the arena haha
 
Nice.

Yeah they've had a nice turn-around...seeing that not long ago Umass Low were thinking of dropping to div 2 or even getting rid of the hockey program all together. I have a lot of respect for BC and BU they always seem to be in the title hunt. Its just nice to see a different NE school shine for a change.
