The NHL Hockey Thread

Everyone I talk to here loves the role Jarko Ruutu is playing.

The last time I heard about Jarkko in the local papers here in Finland is that he lost some teeth ( again) but he´s just laughing about it.

 

The Philadelphia Flyers not doing so well so if anyone is into buying the man I trust Forsberg will go soon.

Anaheim then again incredible, especially thanx to the "Flying Finn" Teemu Selänne.

 

Sidney Crosby seems to be winning the most goals and passes section. I personally had a little money on Ovetshkin from Washington...

Penguins seem to be getting to the play-offs but Rangers-early summer vacation seems to be close...

 

Go Wings. I grew up in Hockeytown and am the first one to admit it sucks but I can't shake my penchant for the boys in red. I was, however, wooed by the Pittsbugh Steelers someyears ago, and share a healthy respect for anything black and gold.

 

GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's to another 30 years of great Hockey in the Steel City. It's going to be really great for the next 5 years or so.

Congrats to the Pens!!! And to all levels of government who got the heads out of there asses and stepped to the plate to keep hockey alive down there. It's about time!!! Now I wish other U.S. states would follow suit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

Yes, congrats!

Glad that the Penguins did not have to move and change their name as well...!!

Nice to see we have some great goalies doing well in the NHL. Kipru is not alone there....

 

Correct...goalies is where usually Canada shines, but it's nice to see some other countries producing some good talent.

 

Ottawa vs Anaheim in the final.

Sorry guys, I´m on the Anaheim side because they have Teemu Selänne in their team.

 

Well it's going to be a great series!!

Since I live 30 mins away from the Scotiaplace (ottawa) I"m going with the Sens in 6!!!

Might even go to a game!!

 

Well, Canadian entrepreneur Jim Balsillie is at it again. After his failed attempted to buy the Pittsbugh Penguins he has a letter of agreement to buy the Nashville Predators for US$220 million.

Here is more Info if interested.

I hope it happens as, Nashville hasn't been getting the crowds to support the team at all.

 

Anaheim leads 3-1 in games. Seems like they are close to taking the trophy....

 

So there it is!

Congrats Anaheim and Teemu! The Stanley is yours!

 

Oh man...good job Teemu!!...it's been to long for him!!

 

Arnold Schwarzenegger celebrates with the Ducks...

http://www.theolympian.com/519/story/130855.html

Schwarzenegger told the crowd that he had spoken with Canada's prime minister in Ottawa after the Ducks lost Game 3 and warned him that, "We'll be back."

"Then, when it came to the last game, it was, 'Hasta la vista, baby!'" Schwarzenegger said.
