Yeah I aggree sometimes they give stupid penalties that are really undeserved . In the end I still prefer the style of hockey they play now , at least the gameplay is open and hooking and obstruction are gone from the game .

You mean the castrated style of play where the refs hand out penalties for stuff that was legal 2 or 3 years ago? This "new nhl" sucks
yea, i totally agree. actually, my prediction is that buffalo will win it all this year, so if they do, i called it
But now you never see a Gordie Howe hat trick (Goal, assist, fight). The game is supposed to be physical, let them play. Yes call penalties on players that are just out there playing grab-ass but clean physical play is what most people want to see.
When was the NHL at it's highest popularity? During the mid to late ninties when the Detroit-Colorado rivalry was at it's peak. Tough, physical hockey. Give me more of that. :2 cents:
speaking of which, the rivalries of today lack ridiculously in comparison with the rivalries of the past. I miss those rivalries. I mean, i remember when the wings/avs rivalry was huge, everyone in the D would circle that day months before. Now, i can honestly say i am not looking forward to any one game. it's sad
wow, has anyone seen malkin play? i saw the pittsburgh highlights at yahoo sports nhl, and wow, 4 games, 4 goals, already looking like a superstar. and he's already better in some areas than ovechkin (involving teammates, passing, poise and control, amazing
I saw little bit of the Pens/Devils game lastnight. Malkin has some serious skill. It's scray how good he is. I think he's even better than Crosby
i know, i felt the same thing at times. its scary, with the two of them for years and years. you think malkin's ego might get the better of him and he might leave for a team where he'll be #1? i just don't think he'll be able to handle being #2 the rest of his life
I think it might be the other way around. Sidney might not able to handle being #2 behind Malkin.
Anybody who hates the Maple Leafs should enjoy this. I know I sure got a laugh out of it.

What on earth is up with the scheduling? What idiots designed it? i mean the red wings are only playing 12 games in 31 days of october!! and they've gotten 4 3-day-breaks!!! in one month!!!
HOLY cow, 5 for 5 for malkin
nice logo lol. i'm surprised why people are surprised philly's doing bad. all of us onthe board predicted philly would do bad with their slow D and slow offense. they've got no weapons. gagne depends on forsberg, and forsberg's not producing, and richards and carter haven't exploded yet,
Nice game yesterday for Colorado, they defeated Minnesotta 4-1, Laperriere scores his 100th goal and Theodore was great! (I hope he will be great for the season after he allowed 8 goals vs Montréal)
