I don't see Savard ever playing again. Dude still has trouble remembering his kid's names. No, that was my point. His career is over. Cooke is a dirty bastard and has been all along. As I said, Lemuix has been proven to be a hypocritical asshole Oh, I was agreeing. You're right. If you don't think concussions are serious business, then you need to educate yourself. For all those who have been clamoring for Matt Cooke's head.. you must also scream for suspensions of every other player out there who takes a head shot. Sports fans are the same, regardless of what league they follow. If you don't like a player or a team, you want them suspended, punished, hurt, out of the game.. whatever. You have to support the banishment of an act, not just a player or team. You have to say that if Matt Cooke takes a cheap shot on a player and gets suspended that Jonathan Toews gets the same suspension for the same type of hit. If you want to have the league put an end to fighting you have to make the league step up and reprimand one of its teams for having a 'celebration' of fight night at a game. Who's saying they don't want suspensions? Matt Cooke isn't some kind of unfairly singled-out victim. Daniel Paille got a 4-game suspension and we didn't complain about it. Even Joe Thornton was suspended last season. It's not everyone else's fault that the Penguins employ the worst repeat offender in the league. Stop pointing fingers at everybody else. Pittsburgh has some kind of weird persecution complex. They whined about the Islanders' "fight night" thing, but LOVED when Brent Johnson broke Rick DiPietro's face. Trevor Gillies is an animal, but Cooke trying to take Ryan McDonagh's head off? Eh, he's just misunderstood.

Well the NY Post is reporting an unnamed source says that the Devils are on the verge of bankruptcy. The f*** but who trusts the Post for anything reputable?

Especially with the amount of holes in the story.
I don't doubt for a second that the Devils might have some money issues (no playoff revenue last season, took until the second half for attendance to rebound after the horrific beginning of the season, still paying loans off to Newark, etc.), but given that Forbes still ranks them 11th in team revenue in the league, and given that the reported loan is NEARLY HALF OF THE FRANCHISE'S ENTIRE VALUE, the article reeks of overhyped BS.
Meh, so long as Parise gets a new contract and stays in Newark, I'm happy.
EDIT: Apparently TG is going to have a write up on the article later today on the Fire and Ice blog. Should have more of a definitive answer then.

'Ryan Callahan has been named the 26th Captain in New York Rangers history.'
No finer choice.

Perfect choice for the captain position Although, I'm surprised they made Brad Richards an alternate captain and not Marian Gaborik. My guess is that because Gaborik had a sub par year, management felt he didn't earn the A. Although it is a bit odd that they gave it to the new guy straight off the bat.

Bruins/Islanders rookie game note:
Ryan Spooner is awesome. I can't wait for him to crack the main roster. Khokhlachev is ridiculously fast, too.
EDIT: Bruins' rookies defeat the Islanders' rookies 8-5. Spooner had 2 goals and 2 assists, and Jared Knight had 2 goals and looked awesome.

Canucks beat Flames in OT. Well the rookies, anyway.

*gives this movie all my money* Considering what's happened in the NHL I wonder how this will go over (I think it looks pretty funny...we need more hockey movies dammit). I kind of like this picture for some reason (Viggo is the man!): It was taken at a Toronto Film Festival (where a documentary about Enforcers in the NHL just came out, apparently Nilan is quite amazing in it).

Let's just quote random hockey movies (probably most will be doing Slapshot) in order to kill time til training camps open

I think most people are starting to realize how overblown the anti-fighting argument has gotten in relation to the deaths. I mean, two were accidental (Belak still hasn't been confirmed), and one was suicide. Fighters aren't dropping left and right. Plus, most people love the fights, unless their guy gets his ass kicked. I think it looks awesome (I love the cast). The baseball line was great.

The hair in 'ere is rotten. Makes me sick!
No. No NHL 12. Gotta get a new PS3 and I am pissed the Jets jerseys are download only. I don't have PSN and I am really pissed about how much shit is being released by download only. So I pay full price and get a buggy, incomplete game. f*** that shit.

The jersey's got unveiled like a week ago. EA knew from the get go that they wouldn't have time to get the Jets gear onto the disc.

Rypien was a suicide, Belak was a suicide. Boogaard was accidental. I think painkillers and other drugs are more to blame than fighting although what they discovered in Probert's autopsy was pretty bad and makes me wonder. I wouldn't trust that Oxycontin crap at all.

Belak was, according to at least one report, accidental. Which means, yeah. You know what it means. It means they'll stick with suicide, because they will never talk about what he was actually up to. The hair in 'ere is rotten. Makes me sick! No. No NHL 12. Gotta get a new PS3 and I am pissed the Jets jerseys are download only. I don't have PSN and I am really pissed about how much s*** is being released by download only. So I pay full price and get a buggy, incomplete game. f*** that s***. The jersey's got unveiled like a week ago. EA knew from the get go that they wouldn't have time to get the Jets gear onto the disc. So what? They've gotten 3rd jerseys into the game before unveiling all the time. Though I think it's more the Jets fault than EA's. I still am not happy with it being download only.
