Why are all these enforcers dying all of a sudden? Could it be depression due to the damage suffered during their playing days?

f***ing hell man. It's getting worse to read NHL than to read wrestling news.
RIP, Wade.

Apparently Belak's death might've been an accident. I'm sure some people will still blame that on fighting...

First off, RIP Wade Belak. You were beloved in Nashville, and that ain't no foolin'. I was looking forward to your antics as a bench correspondent during games, but that is now an impossibility. You will be sorely missed.
In other news, David Poile gets the award for WORST OFFSEASON EVER. If you ever need to look at which team was the worst managed during the offseason, look no further than David Poile, who gets the award for WORST OFFSEASON EVER.
What's that? Naysayers? Well then, by all means, don't take my word for it. Take a look at these AWESOME offseason moves made by David Poile, who wins the award for WORST OFFSEASON EVER.
-Lets Marcel Goc, and Joel Ward simply walk to other teams for big paydays.
-Cuts Steve Sullivan
-Buys out J.P. Dumont's contract.
-Trades away Cody Franson and Matthew Lombardi for BRETT LEBDA and Robert Slaney. Lebda's contract is promptly bought out.
-Offers Shea Weber a $3.5 million contract, which no mediocre D-man would accept, and simply allows Weber's contract to go to arbitration while lying to the fans the entire time about a deal being done. The NHL arbiters rightfully gave Weber a $7.5 million one-year contract. Weber is most likely not a Predator next season.
-Signs AWESOME players such as Niclas Bergfors, Kyle Wilson, and Zach Stortini.
Hopefully I didn't miss anything. I think it's safe to say that a second round playoff appearance is most likely out of the cards.

I think it's safe to say that a second round playoff appearance is most likely out of the cards. Weber is still an RFA next off season so its either get picks or match what ever contract he gets. If Weber wants out he'd be smart to do another 1 year deal as anything with another team the Preds would surely match and he'd be stuck or if they don't match he'd be hurting his future team by them having to give up a lot of assets. Now Suter is another story. And they are dumping Pekka Renne for their next goalie prospect. (the price between a great established goalie and a goalie who is very good and young is not worth the cap hit if the defense is strong enough)

Pretty much exactly what I was expecting. I'll be picking up a home jersey at some point in time this season, probably when Sportschek does their Boxing Week Blowout, because jersey's always go on sale that week.

This must be the best laugh Boston (or hell, the entire NHL) has had in a good long while. Best solution to this problem? Don't have any playoff games Vancouver. Since it'll probably be almost another 20 years to their next SC Final appearance they shouldn't have to worry. It'll give Bettman enough time to train his army of Official Ninja Playoff Security Force.

Is there anything that franchise and city for that matter won't do to make themselves come off as giant douchebags? Anyways, the Jets jerseys are ok. They could have been much better though i.e. use more red. Now I'm just happy they came out because the new season mod for NHL 04 can finally come out.

So, first it was anarchists, then Americans from Seattle, and now it's all the NHL's fault. Over/under that gremlins actually caused the riots, or Mr. Burns?

Thanks Vancouver, not only have you killed all the goodwill you created with the '10 Olympics, now you're just flat out making the rest of Canada look bad. F*** you

I am not making this up, this really happened.

I am not making this up, this really happened. I've got 2 very loose connections to the NHL, coincidentally enough both 2 Leaf players. I slept with Ed Belfour's niece and stood up at his nephews wedding, and my old roommate is James Reimer's 1st cousin. Actually, given where I live I'm sure there's more but those two are my favourites :-P
