[TemplaerDude]

HA HA HA HA I KNEW IT ALL ALONG ALRIGHT!

 

[DrM]

Nice.

And quite nasty situation for some clubs in Europe, that reaped results during lockout with NHL players.

 

[CCF23]

I am so fucking happy. We'll be watching NHL hockey within 10-14 days, boys!

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Not to mention the illegitimate Stanley Cup.

The awards are going to be even more of a joke.

20G scoring Rocket Richard winner!

 

[TemplaerDude]

We need an OT.

SOMEONE MAKE AN OT.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Oh wait, we have a deal?

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AND HAPPILY PROVEN WRONG!

If only Flyers had that option with Bryz...j/k they the best giroux the next superstr of teh league etc etc

 

[CCF23]

I feel the pressure of calling the OT. I'm going to make it minimalist. NHLgaf cool with that?

I'M HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS. I'M SCARED OF NOT DOING IT JUSTICE.

 

[Erdrick]

What a pleasant surprise. Looking forward to getting to some Jets games this year. Assuming that we are shuffled into the Western Conference in the revised schedule, I'll finally be able to see the Wings and Blackhawks in person again.

Thanks. Hopefully this deal includes an amnesty clause to buyout Brygalov after this season if he continues to suck.

So the season will start on either Tuesday the 15th or Saturday the 19th?

Your boy is gonna get a fist to his fucking face when he visits Honda Centre. I'm looking forward to it.

Now... a question to the Ducks fans here... What will Selanne do? Hopefully he can at least play what's left of this season.

 

[JABEE]

Joint Press Conference coming up with Fehr and Bettman. Here's an audio link!

I think they are going to air it soon.

No offense, but he is used to playing in front of 3,000 rabid fans in OKC, don't see how it would effect him any different. He's Anaheim NHL ready bro.

Again, minimalist. We have hockey back. That's all that matters.

Are they going to broadcast the press conference through TSN Toronto?

Players will continue to play in the Olympics.

 

[MutFox]

Haha, Nopers, guess you'll have to bandwagon and watch games now...

 

[TemplaerDude]

Oh wow, what a shame that is.

 

[CCF23]

Fuck this thread. LET IT BURN.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Players will continue to play in the Olympics.

Good.

And congrats hockey fans, hopefully the next lockout is at least another 5 years away.

 

[nasero]

Hockeys back!!

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Now... a question to the Ducks fans here... What will Selanne do? Hopefully he can at least play what's left of this season.

He'll play what's left... And that makes us so happy.

Also which team is notorious for being hot in January til the playoffs... Hmm...

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Good.

But Fuck yes! So stoked, especially for the reemergence of hockey GAF.
