If Nail doesn't go to Edmonton, I will laugh.

Although I'm still not sold on their defensive pairings.

They certainly could. Got a much needed scorer in Nash for practically nothing.

Defensively I think they are fine if they get Sauer back but with concussions, you never know. If they don't then that's a bit of a problem. Not much depth there after the first three lines but not many teams have that depth. Mcdonagh might be a budding superstar and Staal was back to old form in the playoffs.

Just really optimistic about this year and of course they lock it out. Like the Chiefs don't cause me enough pain!

Philadelphia Flyers goalie and cosmonaut Ilya Bryzgalov is playing for CSKA Moscow of the KHL during the NHL lockout, although "playing" might be generous.
Bryz has appeared in six of the team's 23 games with a 2-4 record, a 2.92 GAA and a .892 save percentage. He's currently sitting behind Rastislav Stana, the KHL's top goalie with a 10-2 record in 15 games and a 1.58 GAA.

But Bryzgalov picked up a win against Amur last Friday; a 6-2 victory that saw him make 20 saves despite giving up a penalty shot goal to Dmitry Tarasov on a play in which Bryzgalov was penalized for throwing his stick.
Maybe that set off Bryzgalov. Maybe it's his lot in KHL life. Maybe the Russia media's been snippy with him. Whatever the case, he got Bryz'y with it in the team's postgame media availability, and claimed there is 'filth' being written about him.

Is Pronger healthy yet? Haven't been keeping up on NHL news since the lockout because it just pisses me off.

They were very good last season, look very damn scary good this season with Nash. They are going to be very tough to beat.

I have heard he will likely retire. Who was the last goalie the Flyers had that was consistently good year to year, Hextal?

MMXcalibur · 12-06-2012, 10:45 AM

Fehr and Bettman back in? GOODBYE PROGRESS! GOODBYE SEASON!!!

I'd hope so by now but, not sure. Haven't been watching sports much at all lately.

Too painful.

Oh. RT @Real_ESPNLeBrun: Fehr says NHL left a voicemail message saying NHLPA counter wasn't acceptable. No need to stick around.

Kiss the season goodbye...bunch of stupid mother****ers...

Rugby Thompson · 12-06-2012, 07:14 PM

NHL needs a break...last season was horrible and ever since the last lockout, the league has just gotten softer and more watered down. A canadian team will never hold up the cup again as long as NBC is covering the Stanley Cup Finals, an american team is always going to win it. It used to be such a better physical league, now I find it boring as hell.

I thought there was plenty of good hockey last season, but as far as physical play is concerned, it's going down the same path as football, so I can see why that would turn off fans.
