The worst-kept secret in the NHL is now officially out there - the next Winter Classic will be January 1st, 2009 in Chicago. Wrigley Field will host the Original Six Blackhawks and Red Wings. Bettman thanked New York and will keep the new Yankee Stadium in mind in the future. Great. Anyway, the article (which [...]
David Pollak from the Mercury News out in San Jose spoke with Brian Campbell about his contract talks and plans, and boy does it sound a lot like what we heard incessantly last year:
This hasn’t been the most enjoyable experience. There’s been a lot of tossing and turning, and I’m looking forward to getting it [...]
I’m not sure how I’d feel about this…we needed better defense (which is not what Campbell is about). BUT, that could be provided by Tallinder and Lydman playing the way they did just after the lockout. And Hank staying on the ice. I guess I’m torn. Campbell has not looked great against the Flames, they [...]
Come on Boston, just roll over already! Why are you trying so hard, Philly, don’t you know the league wants Ovechkin to advance? Why did Brian Campbell suddenly become competent again? UGH.
I watched a fair bit of the games last night, except for the part of the Calgary/San Jose game where I fell asleep (stupid late games). The Rangers/Devils game helped me come to a decision on which team I want to win…the Devils, as I don’t ever want Sean Avery to win another game in [...]
Three series are underway in the East, with Montreal, Pittsburgh and the New York Rangers all holding a 1-0 lead. Montreal scored twice in the first two minutes (one each from the Kostitsyns) and took the body on the supposedly more physical Bruins. I’d vote the Bruins most likely team to get swept if the [...]
Montreal is in town tonight for a 7:30pm game at HSBC Arena. The Sabres are coming off their first win of the post-Soupy era, with a huge contribution from Steve Bernier. Bernier has fallen in love with Buffalo, and after that game, the feeling is mutual. If he can keep the energy up like that [...]
The Nashville Predators are the first post-deadline opponent for the Buffalo Sabres tonight at the Arena. The newest Sabre, Steve Bernier, will be in the lineup skating alongside Roy and Vanek. I would very much love for this combo to click, as having an ass-kicker on the ice (hopefully while still being able to help [...]
…performed to the tune of Southern Rock anthem ‘Hold On Loosely’, preferably. By the way, if any of you musically inclined folks want to take that as a challenge, let me know. Kevin at BfloBlog basically summed up my thoughts on Campbell
This day has seen the end of Campbell, but will it soon see the end of any other Sabres?
1:01pm: D Adam Foote to the Avalanche, Jackets get a Conditional pick (and another if Foote resigns?).
1:11pm: F Sergei Fedorov to Washington for Blue Jackets D Theo Ruth.
1:30pm: D Rob Davison goes to the Isles for a [...]
