    Should be a good series, hoping it at least goes 6 games. Kinda rooting for Boston but if Chicago wins i'd be fine with that as well.

    I don't understand this sentence at all. But I'm guessing what you said is meant to be negative.

    Dallas has no defense to really speak of, short of Stephane Robidas and Brendan Dillion. If Nill wants to restructure and hire proper defensemen, I welcome it.

    It means just what it says ... it's not like Dallas is close to winning the cup ... so why not give those minutes to a younger player who needs to develop.

    Deserves it? Anyone who starts as much crap as he does and then turtles every time? The Nooris has turned into a joke. Karlsonn last year who didn't play much D at all and Letang being a finalist this year? Ugh. :fp:

    Or why not allow him to mentor the young defensemen we already have?

    Yeah he does deserves it ... From whistle to whistle he was the best this year. The shit that goes on after the whistle describes half the league, and that shit goes on because they got rid of the instigator rule.

    Its time for a Best Offensive/ Defensive award in the NHL.

    Subban winning the Norris would be a joke.

    Chara anyone?

    Report: NHL has plan to move Coyotes to Seattle

    According to Hockey Night In Canada, if Glendale, Arizona does not approve the proposed deal that would keep the Coyotes in Phoenix, another group is in place to purchase the team that relocate them to Seattle in time for the start of the 2013-14 NHL season. This same plan prevented the Vancouver Canucks from moving their AHL team to Seattle as the Canucks were told that there was another plan for the building's use. Seattle would need to build a new arena as KeyArena does not have the capcity to support an NHL team long-term. There was almost a new arena built when a group was set to purchase the NBA's Sacramento Kings but that deal ended up falling through.
    The Coyotes have been in Phoenix since 1996 when the Winnipeg Jets moved their team to the United States. Their best season as a franchise was in 2011-12 when they went to the Western Coference Finals but were defeated by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings.

    A conviniant way to push through a new arena by the NHL. Even though Key Arena can hold a 1,000 more people then the Barclay's Center where the Islanders are moving to.

    :think:

    It will be interesting to see how hockey would do in Seattle. I didn't know or work with anyone who followed the NHL in my time there.

    I don't know how well it would do ... I guess we'll find out. I've stopped trying to figure out why they want teams in some of those markets.
