David Krejci's reaction to Justin DiBenedetto jumping him from behind: "I don't even know who that kid is". At least take the visor off if you're gonna jump someone's best player, dude Tomorrow....Patriots vs. Bills, brother's birthday (Chinese buffet!), and then Bruins vs. Montreal. It's gonna be a good day.

I'm grievously annoyed at a minority of Devils fans who actually don't want the team to retire Scott Niedermayer's number this December, all because he left for another team at some point in his career.
It's FRIGGIN' SCOTT NIEDERMAYER. If his number wasn't retired, there'd be something hideously wrong going on.
Besides, I think it's becoming clear that Lou Lamoriello's parameters for retiring a jersey number mostly involve if a guy goes to the HHOF most noted for his accomplishments as a Devils, like the Boston Red Sox do in baseball (any guy who has a Red Sox hat on his plaque in Cooperstown gets his number retired at Fenway).
The lone exception, of course, is Ken Daneyko, but even he had to wait a few years for his number to go up until the Devils could take care of Scott Stevens first. But Kenny is "Mr. Devil", and for that and a few other reasons he deserved to be the exception to the rule.

While the Bears/Ozzie Sage/Cubs GM Search has pushed the Hawks to the back burner at this point in the Chicago sports news coverage, I have been enjoying Brendan Shanahan's suspension videos almost as much as Colin Campbell's Wheel of Justice. I look forward to the slow-mo and freeze-frame when he has to do a suspension for a fight that goes too far. "And at this point John Scott entered the ice for a 4th line shift, which goes against new rule 54(c) subsection 7, which states that players like John Scott, who are entirely untalented at hockey, have no business being on the ice in the first place. John Scott has also been seen on the ice over 50 times in the past, which I took seriously into consideration in deciding to suspend John Scott for 8 games for being on the ice, and 2 additional games for failing to pick on someone his own size."

I really like the videos that are released with each suspension. It's very well done and I'm glad this is finally happening.
A weird thing though: I was at last night's MTL/Boston game and my girlfriend noted that on both sides there were a few moments where the players had their backs turned and were facing the boards. I'm wondering if some players are going to try this to see if they can keep the puck longer since no one will risk hitting them for fear of a suspension.
I want this crappy pre-season over with already. Let's get the real season going!

I am not saying Neids is not deserving, but I am saying that too many numbers are being retired by all the teams in the league. Canucks retired Naslund's 19.....Uh, why?

East Finals- Flyers over Sabres
West Finals- Kings over Blackhawks
Flyers over Kings in Stanley Cup Finals

Oh, I absolutely agree; we often get on the Rangers here about how many members of the '94 Cup team now have their numbers in the MSG rafters. It's also kind of absurd when an expansion/relocated team has some early success and IMMEDIATELY moves to retire the number(s) of whoever helped them, even if they were only around a couple of years. But if a bunch of Hall of Fame worthy guys have their careers defined by what they accomplished in your organization's sweater, then their numbers should go up. I fully look forward to, obviously, Marty's #30 going to the rafters once he's finished up, and then quite possibly Patrik Elias' #26.

Elias, maybe it will, but I don't think he should. I like what the Canucks did with #11 and #28, took them out of circulation. They are not retired, they are simply not available to any player not named Mark Messier who writes it into his contract he gets #11, no matter who dies. I like the out of circulation, it's respectful without you know, um, having to retire the number of a player who isn't alive anymore to see it.

Elias will likely depend on whether or not he winds up with a HoF worthy career. If he does, he'll go in a lifelong Devil, and would likely get the honor.
That said, I do appreciate the idea of taking numbers out of circulation: it's what the Mets do in baseball to respect some of the Hall of Famers who played for them, but not enough/didn't accomplish enough as a Met to warrant a full retiring ceremony. I know they do it for #8 (Gary Carter) and #24 (Willy Mays), and are currently doing it for #31 until Mike Piazza is voted into the HoF, at which point he'll likely get a ceremony.

Drew's back! 8 years/56 mil. So much for the losing 250k every day thing and the 7 million versus 6.8 million.

For my money, Kings are a Cup contender right now. Even though I have already selected the Canucks to win the Cup as back as a month ago.

As for Dewie, I'm real happy that he's back but I just hope that's he's absolutely ready to play (aka in shape). He should have gotten even better both statistically and skills wise last year, but he actually regressed and wasn't that spectacular defensively. Hopefully he comes back with a purpose and earns that 7 million this year. On a side note, doesn't seem like too many people are interested in playing fantasy hockey. If more people don't sign up by at least Tuesday, then I'm canceling the whole thing.

All I can say is f***! f***! f***! f***! f***! f***! f***! f***ING HELL! f***! f***! f***! f***! f***! f***! There goes another impressive Oilers player who had a really good preseason and was possibly going to be a starter for the depleted OIlers defense lineup especially on how Whitney is still injured. This is depressing because even if he didn't make the team or played the full 82 games, he would of been sent to the AHL and had a chance to develop really nicely, now he's probably goin to be out for the whole season. The Oilers might of been a playoff team this year if no one gets seriously injured or bonehead coaching decisions. We have some of the most talented youth forwards prospect, a solid young goaltender who'll probably be our started, but atrocious atrocious defense. Trade deadline can't come any sooner. Hell what am I talking about, all our best players will miss most of the season due to injuries like the last six years. I'm still excited for this season, more then last season but god dammit!
