Yeah I'll be watching before leaving to go to the G. 

I've been looking at the teams to see if there is one I'd like to follow. I know of most of the popular clubs. I knew the Sharks due to their colours which I like.

I think I'll go by colours/emblem and then name. I need to like all.

I've narrowed it down to about 5-6. 

The dilema I have is if I like the Sharks best I'll need to wait until they are not so good to jump on board... Ha ha.

Hahha to match the Rams and the Dees. I'm an Avs fan as I lived in Colorado for some time and they have just moved from Quebec and then won the title not long after. In saying that the Devils have to be a chance for you G?

The playoffs are indeed frantic, I watched the Boston v Leafs game this morning and it was non-stop action. Check out this ridiculous save by the winning goalie.

The lockout's officially over! Teams are expected to play a 48 game season in addition to the regular playoff fixture. The schedule should be released in the coming days.

I'm sure I've said it before on here but NHL playoff hockey is some of the best sport you will ever see. It is extraordinary the skill level of the players these days (some of the goals are ridiculous

To be honest it would be between lightning, panthers, sharks, coyotes, predators.

If I was new to the game I reckon I'd be a Habs fan, got a few mates who are and who doesn't love Quebec girls.

Pens looking good early, 7-3 shots already but the Sharks have had chances. That leg injury looked terribly painful for the Sharks player, they didn't mind showing the replay!!

Yep, the Pens were too good when it counted and were worthy Stanley cup winners ... San Jose weren't disgraced but they couldn't get near it in the last period and a half today. 

It must be an awesome feeling lifting this historic trophy ... here's a bit about it's history.

Well, today was crazy.

Subban to Nashville, Weber to Montreal
Hall to New Jersey, Larsson to Edmonton
Stamkos re-signs in Tampa Bay for 8 years

Not too sure what Edmonton were thinking...they got absolutely annihilated in that trade. I know that they were looking for a right-handed shooting defenseman, but surely they could've done much better than Larsson if they were willing to give up Hall. Both Subban and Weber are right-handed shooting defensemen, and I'm sure that Edmonton would be kicking themselves knowing that both of those players were on the market. Larsson is an underperforming first round pick who's never done anything of note in 5 seasons in the NHL, and I think Edmonton have really shot themselves in the foot here.

Not too sure about the Nashville-Montreal trade, either. I just don't see how each team benefits from the trade.

Bednar named coach of Avs, http://avalanche.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=891617&navid=DL|COL|home

He has a nice looking development of his coaching craft resume. I like they have gone for on paper looks like a good up and comer.

I think this season will be a write off/transition season but here is hoping they can bring it together as quickly as possible.

MacKinnon looking really sharp for Team NA, these kids got swag and speed beating Team Europe again 7 - 4 today, great to watch.

Will be interesting to see how they go against USA & CAN beasts who've had two heated pre-tourny games.

Auston looks real good!

HIS SECOND GOAL WAS CONTENDER FOR GOAL OF THE SEASON.

 

Yes it was the first game of the season.

 

HYPE IS REAL!

 

Bummer we lost in OT tho.

so that Auston Matthews eh.

 

CBJ on a huge win streak, killing it.

You put the mozz on them! What a great streak that was. Some of their previously unknown players stepped up and became elite players of the competition. Wennberg, Atkinson, Saad have all been fantastic. 

 

Matthews is a freak. Babcock said that he'd be a dominant player in the league by Christmas. He wasn't wrong. He's been sensational since mid-November.

6 of the Leafs rookies are currently in the top 20 for points (Matthews, Nylander, Marner are 2/3/4th) all with three games less than KO'd Laine so likely be 1st 2nd and 3rd soon.

Zaitsev has been excellent (1g, 15a) just having trouble scoring. This team is actually good!

I see lots of parallels between the Leafs and the Dees. It'll be very interesting to watch how both sides go in "completing" their rebuilds. I'm very optimistic about both.

In a playoff spot again, gonna have to edge out the Islanders or even better pinch 3rd from Boston. Big few games coming up.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
