Guys still in RFA get different deals though, because they aren't in danger of leaving immediately.
Myers $5M a year, Letang $3.5M last year, Staal $3.975M. The players got the security of bigger deals than they were earning, but the teams locked up players through some higher-priced UFA years. If Myers had been a year from UFA, I'd imagine he's getting something like $6.5M per, like what Ryan Suter is going to command heading into that very scenario.

I love John Tortorella, the NY Rangers coach. He called out Joe Thornton after Big Joe called the Rangers "soft". I find it humorous that he said that they should have taken those 2 points, considering the Sharks lost that game 5-2.

Last three players with GWG's vs. Detroit this season: Joe Thornton, Dany Heatley, Devin Setoguchi.

No way the Wings lose 5 in a row if we just would have signed Colin White.

Our boy HiFi must have been doing cartwheels last night. First, Ovechkin calls Bruce Boudreau a "fat fuck" for not putting him on the ice with the extra attacker with about 1:20 to go in the game and then the Caps tie it up anyway.
Keith Jones would not stop talking about how much of a genius Boudreau was for putting the "right" guys on the ice for that goal. It was getting a little out of hand. Get a room, fellas...

Taking a chance by posting this here. I'm a tabletop sports game player and am looking to buy this game for hockey:
Inside Sports Games I'm not a hockey guy really but I'm deciding between buying 93-94 and 08-09. Any thoughts as to which of those seasons might be a good one to get me hooked on hockey so that I will continue to develop an interest? 93-94 is a season from when I kinda knew who the players were because of Sega Genesis and NHL hockey. On the flip side, I'm thinking to get hooked, I should probably get the more modern set to try and learn the current players. Any thoughts at all? |

Considering 93-94 is the greatest season ever, I think you should go with that.

I would recommend going for the 08-09 season. If you're looking to get hooked on hockey, I think it's better to play a more recent season. That way you get to learn more about the current players and teams, which can be a decent spring board to gaining interest in the sport. Back in the day when I used to play a lot of Strat-o-Matic hockey, I ended up liking a bunch of players simply based on that game and learned a ton about a wide variety of players that I was never familiar with. If this game is as good as Strat-O, you should get a good feel of how each player plays the game, which should increase your interest in the sport.

By all accounts the game has a much better flow and much better detail that Strat which I play but have some issues with. I've kinda been leaning the way of getting more modern players for the exact reasons you outline. |

I would look into this game, if I had a group around to play it. I've played a ton of Strat-O hockey in my day. A ton. I love it. We tweaked some things here and there and I have since gone on line and found a TON of tweaks and rules changes. It would be interesting to see how this game compares.

My understanding is this game is a much better solitaire game than Strat hockey. As much as I love Strat, their games (other than baseball), just don't flow very well when playing solo. Strat hockey always bogged down for me because you're jumping between decks, then to the dice, etc. This game uses just one deck, no dice, and it all flows from the action deck. In addition, no real decisions in terms of shooters, etc. More like you're letting things flow naturally. |

Gotcha. Thanks for the info. I only ever played Strat-O a few times alone. Mainly just to test out some different lines. I think some of my friends would enjoy the "no real decisions in terms of shooters". I was famous for having one go to goal scorer on my teams. A ton of my offense would typically be funneled through one guy who, for whatever reason, scored for me. Tony Granato. Danton Cole. Stephane Richer. Were some of my best. Sadly, my system has a draw back because if you shut that guy down...

Was happy to see Kaleta get suspended four games for that disgusting headbutt on Voracek last night. Shanahan's explanation on the hit was fantastic, highlighting it's the third time Kaleta has done something like this.
I only wish the Flyers got Marty tonight instead of Hedburg. |

You opened Pantera's Box with that Hot or Not poll. I'm hooked! Don't worry, when Zach Parise comes to the Wings I promise I will buy you a Zach Parise Red Wings t-shirt. Whoop, there it is.

Prior to the Pens game in SJ last night, the Sharks presented Joe Thornton with a gift to commemerate his 1,000th career game.
And just what do you get a guy who reaches a thousand career NHL games? Why a mammoth tusk, of course!

I don't see Hamilton coming in anymore. (not that I ever did) Jim Balsillie's financial situation has taken a pretty nice hit with RIM down and out. I imagine his attention is also fully with RIM now.
Sabres finally play their best period of the year, and Karlsson is playing just lights out. Hopefully they stick with it and get Karlsson off. Last edited by Galaxy : 11-04-2011 at 07:22 PM. |

As a Flyers fan I thought for sure that goal was coming back while I was watching the game. Aside from that, I can't believe Lavy threw Simmonds out there and didn't use Talbot, who scored on a penalty shot earlier in the game.
