Bruins re-signed Marchand to a 2 year deal. No Brainer ;D I'm not a Bruins fan (although I do like the squad you guys have), so I like the Marchand signing. Out of all the trolls (aka "pests") in the NHL, he my favorite one. Also, I think Kevin Smith's Hit Somebody is coming out next year as well so 2012's gonna be an awesome year for hockey movies. |

Bruins re-signed Marchand to a 2 year deal. No Brainer class.;D Fixed.  Yeah they would have been stupid to let him go. The guy is a little pain in the ass but he's got heart. |

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. 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. Hmmmm, I thought I read an interview that said they still haven't ruled Belak's death a suicide, but I haven't been keeping up. Probert seems like a special case to me. Nobody fights like that anymore. He would get KO'd in a fight, then come back and fight the same guy later in the game. He seemed to have a decent life. I've tried the stuff (curiosity), it didn't do anything for me. Bruins re-signed Marchand to a 2 year deal. No Brainer ;D Daniel Sedin's face could not be reached for comment. |

As I said, to my knowledge, Belak has not yet been ruled a suicide. They have said he hung himself and it may have been accidental. Do your own math. |

Due to Canadian Press policy, they will likely never come out and announce that it was suicide. I believe it's the UN that recommends not reporting a cause of death when a celebrity commits suicide because it tends to cause a spike in suicide rates, so the CP tries to follow that for the most part.
But the fact that Belak's close friend has come out and said it was a suicide, I'm pretty sure that's what it was.

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. Yeah, but the jersey's likely wouldn't have even been ready for EA to see. The average new jersey gets designed over a course of 12-18 months, and TNSE got the Jets ones done in about 4. It's not really the fault of anyone, because TNSE unveiled the jersey's as soon as they were ready. There was no possible way to make the cut off for the on disc content. 3rd jersey's that have made the game before they were unveiled to the public were likely ready behind closed doors for months. Considering the deal was finalized for Wpg to have a team again a little over 2 months before the drop date of 12, we're lucky they're in the game at all |

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***. Does this also include the deal with the St. John's Ice Caps? Personally, I hope that one year, EA will complete the "junior hockey" system in North America and compliment the massive CHL with the USHL. That's all I ask. |

If it's not a suicide, then it'd would have to be what happened to David Carradine. Especially if a rope was found around his neck. I can't see many people putting a rope around their necks for no reason. Unless he meant to do it, decided not to, but then accidentally hung himself...either way I feel bad for the guy. It's a terrible way to go.

First of all.. the press conference was planned before the plane crash. Ah. So that means he's incapable of cancelling it out of respect for the recently deceased. Right. None of that requires a press conference. A simple phone call or interview would take care of any questions about his return--which anyone with a brain would know is happening anyway. If that's the explanation, then that's a s***ty explanation. My personal opinions about Sid are based on his actions throughout this whole debacle. He comes across to me as a drama queen, and this whole press conference only adds to that opinion. But God forbid I have a negative opinion about hockey's golden boy. I never said a thing about concussions not being serious. I did not say that, nor am I ignorant, thank you very much. I'm well aware of the threats, and effects, both long and short term, of concussions. I'm also aware of the challenge of preventing concussions in modern sports as players get bigger, faster, and stronger. What I did say was that concussions are a part of sports and aren't going away any time soon. I think great strides have been taken in recognizing the symptoms and keeping players safe once they've been diagnosed with concussions. But unless contact is taken completely out, concussions are going to happen. It's one of the many risks professional athletes take. |

Personally, I hope that one year, EA will complete the "junior hockey" system in North America and compliment the massive CHL with the USHL. That's all I ask. Not sure about St. John's. I will go ahead and say yes though. I did look up a video of jerseys for all the North American leagues in this game, and the Ice Caps are depicted as just the AHL logo with generic black-and-white jerseys. Same with the new Blainville-Boisbriand team in the QMJHL. Anyway, the Stars are going to file for bankruptcy after being sold to a Vancouver businessman. espn.go.com/dallas/nhl/story/_/id/6975077/dallas-stars-agree-sell-team-pending-bankruptcy-dealWhen I got into hockey (this was back in the late 1990s with the NHL on FOX and the migrating blue blur), the Stars were the biggest team in the league and won the Stanley Cup. I'm still trying to figure out what the hell happened. |

ITs more that the previous owner Tom Hicks extended himself so badly to buy Liverpool FC that the Texas Rangers and Dallas Stars were dragged down with him. |

Does anyone know of any good free sites to use? The one I used to is gone and I am looking for a good easy one to use with the guys at work. One without live drafting and shit would be golden. |

Probably Yahoo or Fox. Maybe ESPN or TSN in your case, but based on my fantasy football and baseball experiences, they're not so great. |

I just want one that lets you pick the teams when everyone can and keep track of stats. OfficePools is excellent, but they want cash.
