147 pages in the 2010-11 Thread. Here start's next season.

Now the season's over, Boston has the cup for the summer, but it's all up for grabs come autumn. Bump it through the slow summer months as transactions occur

Oh, and to start some tradition: LOL @ Anaheim.


Who's winning the cup next?

good call with the lol@anaheim.


so far this year im surprised at the following:-

team wise
a) florida panthers.
b) minnesota wild.
c) boston hasn't skipped a beat.
d) washington is falling apart.
e) jets are looking pretty solid.

player wise
a) kessel and lupul lighting it up together.
b) nugent-hopkins rookie beast.
c) brian elliot (ex sens backup goalie) is killing it.
d) ovechkin and semin are pretty "meh".
e) michalek top of the league in goals until he got injured.

Pretty much...

total LOL. Makes the whole LOL @ Toronto thing last year look trivial what with how bad that team has played since the first 5 games of the year.

ya no excuses really but none the less im 5'8 or 5'9 and its pretty tough for me to jump over the boards, i never fall like that but i almost have numerous times so it couldnt definitely happen. it also looks like when you put his foot down he like twisted his ankle, something that could easily happen while trying to hop over the boards quick and watch the play thats going on in front of you at the same time.


he is a pro in the nhl though so this shouldnt have really happened.

I love watching the Canucks....the Sedins are out of control with their passing. Every goal they score or set up is literally beautiful!!!!

Tonight's beauty's included a perfect saucer pass to Kesler from Daniel, and then Henrik and Daniel tooling the Wild defense before giving Burrows a free goal....oh baby!

Also good to see Hansen get another and Hodgson to pick up a point.

Does anyone understand how the standings work? How come Dallas with 39 points is ahead of Detroit with 43?

Top 3 in each conference is the division leader. Dallas is leading its division, and detroit is not so dallas gets the third spot.

If not for which rule, Florida would be in 5th and Dallas would be in 7th. Also, on Saturday when they beat the Oilers, the Sharks jumped from 10th to 3rd and are now back in 8th, 2 points out of 3rd with 2 games in hand.

The Sharks have only played 30 games so far. The rest of the teams in the west have played at least 32. They have 5 games in hand on Minnesota, and have the same amount of losses as well as 2 less OT losses. They go on a streak here, and they could leapfrog the pack no problem.

kronwal should be suspended for that. he CLEARLY left his feet, granted this was not a hit to the head, but 1 game would be sufficient. you cant leave your feet.

he wont be suspended. because its done against vancouver. and the league is just one giant conspiracy against vancouver.

karma happened when i typed out this post. nice work hansen/edler whoever got that.

Kronwall always gets away with it. If you watch all his hits, he always leaves his feet. Most of the time he gets away because it's really borderline as to whether he left before or just after the hit (in his trademark hits, he gets low then drives up, and leaves feet just as or after the hit).

And Sean, leaving your feet has always been a no-no. Just imagine the football hits you'd get on ice if you allowed people to leave their feet. The hits along the boards would be especially brutal, just take a freaking run and the guy and jump.

Just to clarify, I've always disliked Kronwall's hits, but the league seems to be okay with them, so...
