they were FA not traded.

what is delayed off-sides ?

When there is offsides but the defensive team gets the puck, i think.

We'll just get the package deal of naslund and forsberg and we won't give a shit about em anymore.

go Panthers!

they changed it now so if the offense sees that they
ve been offside they can "tag up" and clear the zone while they keep control of the puck and then re-enter the zone again (hopefully onsides).

Makes sense.

yeah, that will hopefully keep the action going instead of automatically having to go to another damn faceoff. dance:

I go to more NCAA games than NHL so i wonder what will come of this.

Philadelphia Flyers Signed defensemen Derian Hatcher, who had been with the Detroit Red Wings, Mike Rathje, who had been with the San Jose Sharks, Chris Therien, who had been with the Dallas Stars, and left wing Jon Sim, who had been with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Columbus Blue Jackets Signed defenseman Adam Foote, who had been with the Colorado Avalanche, to a three-year contract.

Also reports that Mike Modono will sign with Boston

and Darren McCarty to the Calgary Flames

and yet they had to let go of leclair cry: I'm still upset about that. But now they get back Therien who they had a while back.

You can keep Jon Sim biggrin:

i never heard of the dude. I'm guessing he sucks donkey balls biggrin:

Yzerman resigned for one more farewell season! rock:

is Jagr and Kaspiritis still with the Rangers?

he is a great player but spends to much time on the disabled list.

What is with the salaries again?

Christ, do the owners not realize what they just went through? Holik for 4.5mill? Did they not watch him in NY? I would give Holik $10 and a coupon to Dairy Queen.

Nuiendike and Roberts for 4.5 mill? Fuck, these guys are going to break a hip when they come out on the ice. Nice to know they're just in it for the money. They could have signed with Ottawa where they actually have a chance of a stanley cup, but i guess they'd rather work on their tan. Nice passion for the game guys.

I was saddened to learn that Martan Gelinas signed with Flordia, but then I heard Tony Amonte signed with us! What a great replacement. Younger, and more skilled.

Darren McCarty would also be a nice addition to the team, or perhaps Scott Neidermayer. biggrin:

I like how everyone is moving to the crap teams in the South/West.

yeah its cause those terams have money to spend now. toronto philly ny dallas all have a lot of expensive players. all the shitty teams have no big players and have more money to spend under the cap.

hes 2 months younger oOo:

eek:

Oh...for some reason I thought he was a couple years younger than Gelinas.

Scratch that, anyway, still a good pickup. Amonte scores more points that Gelinas. Good replacement at a great price.

And McCarty is official now too:

Hours after losing Martin Gelinas, the Calgary Flames have added some scoring punch.

The team signed unrestricted free agent forwards Tony Amonte and Darren McCarty.

Amonte signed a two-year contract at $1.8 million per season. McCarty also signed a two-year deal for $1.6 million ($800,000 per season).

Amonte had his contract bought out by the Philadelphia Flyers last week.

In 14 seasons with New York, Chicago, Phoenix and Philadelphia, Amonte had 392 goals and 436 assists in the regular season; he added 20 goals and 31 assists in 86 playoff games.

McCarty, had spent his entire 11-year career with Detroit won three Stanley Cups with the Wings and scored the winning goal against Philadelphia in 1997.[/quote:f38dc]

Two great pickups.

Flames have called a press confrence for tomorrow. There is a ton of speculation that Niedermayer may sign with Calgary in addition to Amonte and McCarty. Niedermayer is said to be interested in three teams from the west and will make his decision tomorrow. How sweet would that be?

Amonte in a Flames uniform...wtf. i thought id never see the day. annoy:

Ahh...Blackhawks fan.

I've heard Khabibulin 90% to sign with Hawks from Eklund's Hockey Rumours. Who knows.

canucks signed naslund

Chris Pronger traded to the edmonton oilers

source? wow.....this is going to be a good year for hockey....i hope.

should we start a post pics of your playoff beard now?

happy:

I love the new icing rules, the team that commits can not switch lines, so a tired 4th vs a fresh 1st line = VERy intresting game, I am really looking forward to this season now. biggrin:

Chris pronger is an oiler! Shit. Good and bad. Anyway, that means they probably can't afford Neidermayer, and don't really need two high priced defencemen, which gives us a better shot.

be good to d-mac ninty

loney:

D-mac to Flames, lotsa action in the last couple of days. here is a good site for transactions:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/transactions

That's the most retarded rule change I've ever seen.

Well it basically means that they just fix their mistake before the penalty is called. Chances are the defense would all be down their anyways by the time the offense reset. Really doesn't do much other than keep the clock going.

What the hell. Fuck high scoring. You can't fucking totally change the game. Offsides is offsides. I like eliminating the Red line, and the no tie games rule, but you can't change every fucking factor. I don't want games to be 17 to 12 and shit like that. How are goalies supposed to break old records if they're expanding the crease and whatknot.
