    I'd be surprised if he backs away. There has to be at least one team that would take him, Brodeur would just have to submit to being second fiddle.

    How funny would it be if the rangers traded talbot for a fucken awesome player and signed fatso to backup hank. I always said it would be funny when the day comes fatso is wearing a blueshirt and backing up hank! Maybe it'll happen now hahahahaha

    Fatso lol. MB one of the all time greats even though I never cared for him much.

    I'm still laughing about "fatso" as well. Hard to argue against his greatness, and this coming from a longtime divisional rival. The best is when the Pens had the Devil Killer Alexei Morozov, who otherwise sucked, but was consistently good against Brodeur.

    Hahahaha, ya he was great and fat! Thank god we got hank all those years ago because before we did, fatso OWNED us. Something like over 20+ games without a lose against us. Then we got the king and that shit changed asap!

    i think that winless streak against the devils hit somewhere around 30 games. that was a dark, dark era for ranger fans. most of my friends are devil fans and they would just lay into me game after game. :))

    i would love to go back in time and see one more game -- richter vs brodeur. that ranger/devil match up was the NHL's version of the knicks/bulls matchup. that was the one game everyone was always tuning into. add the division and geographical rival aspect and that make for great, great hockey.

    as a guy that absolutely hates brodeur, he is the last guy standing (besides jagr) from that 90's brand of hockey. will be a sad day when he hangs them up.

    Bought tickets (expensive!) for the Flyers game on Nov 20th when 2 of my wife's favorite flyers have their numbers retired. (Lindros/Leclair)
    Seeing the Kings are going to retire Rob Blake's #4 (my favorite King) on Jany 17th makes me want to find my way to LA for that.

    First pre-season games a little over a month away!

    i keep checking the flyers website for tickets but they have not gone on sale. how did you get the tickets?

    Season tickets from someone through StubHub. I dont have the actual tickets yet just the StubHub confirmation/guarantee that you get when you make the purchase and they charge you...

    StubHub if you are willing to overpay. Would go broke using it all of the time but for a handful of events where I want to be certain I enjoy buying in advance on the Hub.

    Damn near $100 for each seat in lower bowl for when the Kings come to town. Hockey is expensive.

    Being by a "lower market team is great" I can usually get upper level tix for most games under $15, unless it's like det, bos, pitt, etc...

    I was talking with an old neighbor. He said it was cheaper to buy 2 front row tix vs the rangers and fly his brother down to NC for the game than tix anywhere at msg. crazy
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    I can't even park at the United Center for under $15. Prices for Hawks games are insane....you aren't getting in the building for anything less than $70-75 for most games unless you want standing room. And even those are $40-50. Still kicking myself in the ass that I didn't go in with my 2 buddies on season tickets 5 years ago.

    4 teams???? That seems a bit extreme.

    to be fair though, NYC and Toronto are jacked up price-wise anyway. For everything.

    Im guessing that the reality is Las Vegas and Seattle are both on the short track now to be expanded to.

    In addition, the Miami situation is looking bleaker and bleaker, so Quebec City is likely going to end up with that franchise.

    Likewise in Glendale. If things go south with the new owner, the public, and fans, I could see them getting moved to Toronto or KC, I would think KC more likely if there is an owner

    Yeah, I could see 4 teams if at least 2 are relocated. But I just can't see them adding 4 brand new teams and having 34 teams in the league. The league will be watered down plus there's no way all of those franchises will survive because like you said, the situations for the Panthers and Coyotes are not good.
