***Official (12)-13 NHL Season Thread***
Schedule is out, so hopefully we can leave the ol' "lockout" thread behind.

Halak appears to me to have a lot of stand-up goalie in him, but he'll go to the butterfly on occasion. He's frenetic even on his best days back there. But he's generally effective. He has no real choice - he's tiny for a goalie. Going to the butterfly everytime wouldn't work well for him.

Watching the Battle of Alberta this past Saturday renewed my love for this game. Reminiscent of the hard fought matches from the late 80's.
Being a Calgary fan throughout their existence I think I'm finally warming up to the idea of trading their only 2 assets and rebuilding. If they don't and these guys walk this team could be buggered for quite some time. |

Johnson played that very similar stoic style to Price. He ended up having a pretty decent career as a backup and wasn't nearly as talented as Price, but Price kinda reminds me of him at times. In the end, Price could be an elite goalie...I guess. I'm still glad I don't have to root for him.

Halak certainly outplayed Price while they were together but Price was the high draft pick and the favourite while coming off of a stellar showing at the World juniors tourney. He's a good goalie, I just don't think Montreal is any good. With Pacioretty now out for a lengthy stint on the IR things could only get worse.
Like NJ_CF said, their minds were already made up on Price. |

Haha, that's funny. Around here, you can catch Daneyko out drinking just about every weekend. Don't get me wrong though, I love the guy.

The Avalanche need to stop taking so many damn penalties or get better on the PK.

Seems like every year these days goes something like this, though. Four games in, and we're already down three top forwards. Hopefully they get O'Reilly's shit figured out soon. |

Greg Jamison's deal to buy the Phoenix Coyotes could be in jeopardy. According to The Arizona Republic, the former San Jose Sharks CEO has until the city's imposed midnight deadline (2am et/11pm pt) to come up with financing for the club, or he will lose out on the arena-management deal that would see the city pay him an average of $15 million a year over 20 years to manage Jobing.com Arena. Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers, who was not the mayor of the city when the lease agreement was agreed to, denied an extension to Jamison when he was contacted Wednesday night by one of Jamison's attorneys. "The bottom line is that Jamison himself hasn't talked with me," Weiers told the paper. "I do know that a group trying to help Jamison or trying to get involved with Jamison – however you want to word it – they're trying to figure out a way to keep his deal afloat." If Jamison can't get the funding, it could once again set back a franchise that has had three previous potential owners try to buy the club since the NHL bought the team from U.S. Bankruptcy Court in 2009. |

http://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozan...n-falls-apart/ Look for the team to move to Seattle if the sale of the Sacramento Kings to hedge fund manager Chris Hansen and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is finalized. The NBA team’s prospective new owners want to move the Kings to Seattle where they plan on opening a new arena in two years. Two teams in one building is better economics. Quebec, the former home of the Colorado Avalanche, has also been mentioned as a viable place for the Coyotes to go. It is. Quebec City has broken ground on a new arena. But NHL commissioner Gary Bettman wants the league to be coast-to-coast. And with Jets moving from Atlanta to Winnipeg last season the NHL doesn’t want its sponsors and U.S. television partner, NBC Sports, thinking the league is contracting geographically. |
