2014-15 NHL Season

[Stroops]

Seattle Starbucks LOL

I have no idea what there team colors would be but I doubt they would be those. Maybe dark blue and tan? Something murky and depressing I guess. Maybe "Seattle Thunderbirds" would make a lot of sense because since that was there junior hockey team back in the day.

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

I am so ashamed right now I dont know if I can let this certain person I captured escape only for me to catch him and kill him.

[Mamora BAR]

Surprising that Simmons and Subban aren't on that list for dirtiest players....

[Yamagata 1st MRB]

I would probably get into Hockey more if Seattle got a NHL franchise. If anyone would go in on it, it would be one of the Microsoft guys (Paul Allen/Steve Balmer), Paul Allen has been trying to get Seattle another Basketball team, but I could care less about basketball.

The Edmonton Oilers were close to re-locating to Seattle last year due to difficulties getting a new arena deal agreed upon by city council. Our owner had a meeting with some guy from Seattle, it was supposedly the same guy that plans to have the Sonic's back (can't remember his name), and they went to a Seahawks game and everything afterwards. He came back to our city apologizing and saying how he went to explore the opportunity in Seattle because of the short distance which made it so convenient and regrets doing such a thing to Oiler fans. However, we all know it was because he found out he won't make as much money with the team in Seattle as he can with it in Edmonton. He eventually modified the arena deal that he had proposed previously to something way more reasonable and then city council agreed to it, thus our brand new arena will be ready by 2016.

I would really like to see Seattle get a hockey team, though. Seattle is one of those cities that should definitely have a team in pretty much each sport.

[Gooderham 1st MRB]

I feel badly for Oilers fans, Katz seems to be jerking them around a lot. Edmonton deserves a hockey team and it would be a damned shame if that moron decided to move the team because the city wouldn't build him a new rink.

I would love to see expansion to Seattle. It would be absolutely fantastic for the Canucks because it would shorten their travel considerably. Additionally, a team would become an instant rival for the Canucks and fans would be willing to travel which means that they would sell out all Seattle/Vancouver games.

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

That is the one thing that sports franchises have over cities around the world. All they have to do is threaten to leave and they get their way. Until us as fans stop supporting w/e sport we love things will never change.

[Yamagata 1st MRB]

Well, Vancouver riots over hockey games, Seattle riots every year to stay hip...

Oh Lordy, a match made in heaven!

[Parker 1st MRB]

Leafs won WOOOT!!!! 3-0-0, Colorado you're next!

I will say the League needs to take those spin-o-rama shootout moves out of the game. I'm a Leafs fan and I can admit the Mason Raymond goal tonight should not have counted, but hey 2 pts so WOOHOOO!

P.s. I am officially on TEAM BERNIER!

[Stroops]

Fucking Dallas Stars

[Mamora BAR]

I was completely shocked that jets stood up against the kings. They almost let it go, but they held strong. Next stop Anaheim then Minnesota!

[Steiner]

Oh Oilers......

Another case of the coach taking the fall and the dumb GM keeps his job. I swear Holmgren ruined that team by trading away all of its core pieces for nothing.

Couldn't agree more. It seems like coaches are the first ones to get blamed nowadays for teams bad performances. Even Noel is on the burner if jets dont make the playoffs this year. Instead of identify other avenues of what maybe an issue with the team they point the finger at the coaches right off the bat. Lavi was a great coach no doubt about it.

[Mamora BAR]

wow...lmao Best goal I've ever seen. Its like he threw his stick and said fuck this I'm gonna tackle the puck.

[Watkis]

So Varlamov and the Avalanche are looking pretty good right now.

Meh...Leafs didn't show up tonight. The Avs have a lot of holes in their play that will catch up with them soon. It's a long season and they are a young team, statistics will prevail.

[Steiner]

Oilers & Leafs..... What a game. Glad i stayed home tonight.

Dubnyk's already given up about eight goals this entire season that he would like back. Labarbera to the rescue? lol

[Pandalsson 1st MRB]

Good lord... will Edmonton ever achieve their potential of 3 1st overall picks?

Now they have Swiss cheese as their goalie tandem. Just sign Bryz already it's not like 1 year at a veteran's min is a big risk. He can't be worse than the Barbarian and Dubstep.

That being said, good to see Cgy doing better than most people pegged to be (winless).

[Parker 1st MRB]

Rumor has it Miller is on the block and Darcy Regier is going to get fired. A good package good get Miller in an Oilers jersey (I doubt it but it could happen).

[Pandalsson 1st MRB]

Miller probably won't want to go to Edm tho. It's going from a rebuild to shouldn't-be-a-rebuild-but-plays-like-one.

And not sure that Eakins is the kind of coach that Miller would get along with.

The regier rumours are likely just that. I'd see Miller going to a team like Philly with all their insecurities at the G. Or maybe Florida, since Markstrom doesn't look like he's consistent enough and Thomas being injury prone like any near-40 years old would be.

Maybe a team like St. Louis. Neither Halak nor Elliott are playing like #1s. Miller in a defense 1st team with those D men would shine pretty bright. Blues have lots of young kids they can offer up in a package with either elliott/halak coming back.

Urgh... I know =/

MacT has gotta know that not making a move is worse than making one when it comes to a sinking team like this. I've got the impression that something will happen since we've been all over the rumor mill lately whether it be for Hiller, Lindback, Miller (not happening), etc. As for Bryz, i think we're getting close to the contract limit which is why i think we're holding back on UFA goalies. Either that or MacT just doesn't want them. I believe Eakins is taking us in the right direction but it's just not showing up on paper. Thus far, we just aren't doing the little things required to win. We get way too over zealous on the penalty kill and Dubie only shows up once every four games.
