If that is scientifically possible, I would also like that.

Quebec City still has a need for a sports team.. I don't think the NHL should explore what type of hockey market there in Bismarck, North Dakota or Boise, Idaho.

As much as I would like the Nordiques to come back.

I don't think it's happening anytime soon.

When Melnyk sells the team. I hope they move to Quebec... The Nordiques need to make a comeback.. I sincerely hope Ottawa doesn't relocate to North Dakota.

The Bismarck Battleships?

My theory on the kid has always been this:

Growing up, his skating was so superior to his opponents that he never had to become great at passing it out - he would always skate it out.

He can't always do that anymore at the NHL level - so when he gets boxed in, he has absolutely no idea what to do with it. You can smell his panic.
- Atomic Wedgie

Sounds about right. They've only got one set play in the D zone if they feel pressure, so it should be pretty easy for him to remember.

I still don't see how "Gardiner" and "aggressive" fit in the same sentence..
- PatC80

Well, as in trying to score, I guess. Turnovers in the offensive zone aren't going to get your ass stapled to the bench.

Ottawa is twice as large as Quebec City. While I would like to see a successful franchise in Quebec, I wouldn't want to see Ottawa lose theirs. I'd like to see a better situated arena and an owner who cares about the team.

I would also like them to always be worse than us, but draft lower. Is that so wrong?

The Billings Bombers

My parents have always been ambivalent or against technology trends and have said for a lifetime that "we don't need a big screen tv, those things are monstrosities"

Now at age 70+, I gave them the 40" TV to replace the 30" samsung lcd from the days of yore and when I ask them how it's working out for them I get a sheepish "it's pretty good"
- TheMussel

My mother wanted a flat screen TV when they were relatively new.

I thought "cool" and helped them buy one.

She had no idea it was higher definition than her old CRT - she just liked the fact that it was thin, so it could sit on a table instead of being it's own piece of furniture in the room.

I laughed at first, but damn, she's right. It freed up a lot of room in the basement.

zaistev was on the ice for 8 shot attempts for and 31 against last night against vegas.

i might stop complaining about ceci.

And Ceci is not under contract for the next 4 years...

Yup. thin TVs are pretty neat. Wallmounting is pretty cool too if you have the money to have the cable routing done right

The Bismarck Battleships?

I was thinking the Boise Boys or the Bismarck Bismarcks

The Billings Bombers

The Idaho Potato Sacks?

Give it time, you'll soon come to enjoy his apple turnovers in the defensive zone

I am confused on how this works but man... this is awesome.

I think they deserve a team again, that was a great rivalry in the 80's/90's

Would have been more useful if implemented prior to the Tavares debacle

Obviously if it was South Dakota, they would would be the Rushmores.

So smart jerseys, but still a below average team?

I'd guess it would be the South Dakota Southerners

Boise Noize

If we get some better d play by the team, the goaltending will be better and we’ll win more games.

And here's after the British did a little redecorating:

- Garnie

Yup, if we limit the amount that the other team is able to score, while simultaneously scoring more goals than the other team, it's probably a recipe for winning.
