Perhaps with the NBA lockout looking almost certain to go on for some time, the NHL can get some more traction on the American networks. As well Sports dollars don't have as much competition, hopefully meaning better attandances.

Rangers all the way!!!

The Rangers and Islanders are known for picking up garbage that fell out of Buffalo ... at least the Isles have moved on.

I figured it was difficult to be an enforcer, but I never thought about them having depression because of it. Thinking about it though, with all the fighting and pushing through such a long season, it is something that I think we should have looked at long ago.

NHL condemn fan's banana throw as 'stupid and ignorant'

 

[SelimNiai]

Dissapointing to hear and yet more negative headlines associated with the game.

Boston make a big hoopla over the Champions banner then lose. Jagr gets his 1600th career point. Top player, possibly the best Europe has ever produced

Peter Forsberg is the best player Europe has ever produced, just too bad his career was held back by injury.

I created these NHL fatbars long ago when I started working on the rugby sets, but I didn't post them here. Two reasons: 1. This is a rugby forum, and 2: There wasn't much interest in the NHL at the time. I figured with the increased interest and new season I should go ahead and post these up for everyone. I recently updated three teams (Kings, Bolts and Preds) and created one for the Jets.

I still say Sweden has produced the best European players in history; Peter Forsberg and Nicklas Lidström. However, the Czech Republic produced the best European net minder in history, the legendary Dominik Hasek. I still can't believe he started with the Hawks, who knows where that could have went!

Well, this season is amazing so far! Rangers are top of the league halfway through (admit, Bruins played 2 games less and are 3 points behind) and last monday we had the Winter Classic! An annual match, played outdoors in a football- or baseball stadium. This year it was in Philadelphia, in the Citizens Bank Park where the Philadelphia Phillies play (Baseball). The opponent, the New York Rangers.

Both teams played in a special kit, especially made for this match and inspired by their first ever kit.

The match was phenomenal and with a massive number of spectators it was an unforgettable evening for me, despite watching it at home. Rangers won 2-3 after being down 2-0.

Winning goal was by the big free agent splash, Brad Richards:
