That would be a great series.. 'Cept the outcome will be different this year, though.

No matter how many times you type that, say it out loud or even speak it in your mind, doesn't make it true.

Son, I typed it like twice, don't get your panties in a bunch

But we'll just have to see come playoffs, won't we?

As optimistic as I am; I don't see us making back to the finals. I am not even sure if you guys are a lock in the East.

i know the flyers are not.

Wishful thinking.

And call me biased but I don't see the deal getting done, if it was going to work it would be finished already. Goldwater has repeatedly shown they aren't going to back down, and technically since the arrangement with Hulsizer is illegal I don't see the deal happening unless Goldwater steps aside

I'd say my opinion on the Hawks/Canucks is pretty un-biased

Of the 4 meetings this year they've split the games, Hawks spanked them 7-1 in the 3rd game and the 4th they won in a SO. They've each won and lost a game at home/on the road to each other this season. With Manny and Hamhuis and Edler out that's a major blow to an already very strong team. I'd love to see that 1st round matchup of Vancouver & Chicago......with the Canucks taking it, as long as Luongo can be somewhat decent

If Bettman wasn't so against moving the team back to Canada, and a deal would have been in place, would the city of Glendale still get compensated for the relocation since they couldn't negotiate a lease agreement?

I not sure I understand your question, but the problem isn't the lease. The guy who wants to keep the team in Phoenix- Matthew Hulsizer isn't willing to put up his own money to buy the team. He worked out a deal with Glendale that they would sell bonds and give him that money to buy the team, so basically Glendale is putting up the $170 million for the team. The problem is that under Arizona law the government isn't allowed to finance such a deal for Hulsizer. This is what Goldwater has been saying and why they are filing a lawsuit to prevent the deal from happening.
There is a deal on the table from True North Sports and Entertainment (the Winnipeg group which owns our AHL team and the arena) for the full $170 million the league is asking for except Bettman isn't going to take that until the Glendale is completely dead

Hawks....EASILY.

[doublejs07]

WOW....what a **%%%@# fight! 2 rounds.....you can tell ML took (or takes) boxing lessons

Look like Looch ate a pretty good one to start it off....that being said, I'll call it a draw.

 

[cquan05]

^Yup.....you can see he's bleeding and he went to the room to get fixed up instead of going to the box. Draw is how I would score it as well. 

 

[scuse7]

Nice battle

Sorry for my weird question. 
What I meant to ask is, let's say the deal ends up dead with Glendale, would the city of Glendale get some sort of compensation from True North Sports or the NHL for the team leaving?? 

 

[proshares]

The fall of the Avalanche has been pretty bad to watch

 

[doublejs07]

Just peeped the Avery/Haley fight....

Figures he would try to fight a non-fighter

....glad Haley stepped in. Avery was holding on TIGHT. Opened him up pretty good too.

I don't think so, I haven't heard of anything like that but thats probably because Bettman won't discuss anything to do any scenario were the team moves.

 
I doubt that they would get anything from True North, only because right now the team is owned by the NHL so thats who they would be dealing with, not anybody in Glendale and lets face it, they took the team from us in the first place so we don't owe them anything

I don't think the NHL would give them anything because right now they are desperately trying anything and everything to keep the team there, Bettman has already greatly passed the deadline he told the city they had to get new ownership

 

[DeadsetAce]

ugh...hate the effin' shootout

at least kessel didn't score. what was the deal with Z...back and forth to the locker room a few times. dude musta had the runs or something

 

[bjm5295]

serious props to the refs for letting them go after they separated, although they were horrible on the calls all night. that first shot from rosehill was viscous.

nice to see seguin get in there and stand up for recchi.
