mkreku Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 That's just statistics though. Ten years from shortening the season, we would forget about the old records and have new ones to ooh and aah over. I'm guessing the "50 goals in a season" club would be very small. I don't know.. I just feel that this shorter season has been way more exciting than the last five put together. But maybe it's just because the Leafs reached the playoffs. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Volourn Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 It's not more exciting. It's less. Whoever wins the championship should have an asterisk.. Suriving the long haul of a season + playoffs is what makes professional sportd awesome. Might as well have a 1 loss and your out tiournament. That would be really exciitng. Better yet, 1st goal scored wins the game! Exciting! Because every goal matters than. LOLOLOLLLIPOP DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Kor Qel Droma Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 All I'm thankful for is that the Oilers finished ahead of Calgary this year. We still sucked, but not as bad as those guys! I want Iginla to win a cup. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Krookie Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Some great games last night, shame Quick had to gift the Blues the winner.
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 It's too late now. Maybe for the start of round two? Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Krookie Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Playoffs just came up too quickly, usually we have more time to remember predictions =[ I know it doesn't count as much now but here's who I have advancing: East: Caps Bruins Pens Habs West: Sharks Ducks Hawks Blues
alanschu Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Statistically, all our records are based on an 82 games schedule. So I hesitate to embrace a shorter season. This actually isn't true. They only played 80 games in most of the 80s, and during the early 90s they had experimented with 84 game seasons too. Although whether or not it's enough to significantly alter a lot of the record books is another story (though when Gretzky is close to 3 points per game... lol)
Malcador Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Wait, why in the name of all that is holy do you root for Toronto, mkreku ? Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
alanschu Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 I'm guessing, at least somewhat, it's motivated by Sundin's presence on the team.
mkreku Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP Er.. I mean.. Close. I grew up in the hometown of Börje Salming. He was my childhood idol and the player that brought NHL to Sweden (there was little to no interest beforehand). It didn't exactly make matters worse that I am a distant relative to Mats Sundin. The big question is why I keep rooting for them now.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Malcador Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 The big question is why I keep rooting for them now.. A very good question. But fair enough, just curious as usually 'foreign' fans (to the country of the league) back successful clubs. Still don't know why the morons in this city keep forking out cash to watch an ineffective product. "Leafs nation", *snort*. Why has elegance found so little following?

Kor Qel Droma Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 West: Sharks Ducks Hawks Blues I agree with all of those except the last. It won't be an easy playoffs for the returning champs, but I think the Kings will at least go past the second round. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
mkreku Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Can't believe Leafs won one. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 C'mon San Jose, you can do this. 1 Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Hurlshort Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Yay! First sweep in history, and it was nice to watch Marleau put it in. That being said, Vancouver looked terrible. Whoever the Sharks face next will probably be a lot tougher.
babaganoosh13 Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Maybe Trevor Linden can rejoin the Canucks on the ice. Maybe I'd like them again. Of course, they'll probably fire Vigneault, when Gillis is clearly the one who sucks at their job. Too bad one of them couldn't have taken Torres out. My money is on Keith being the one that Torres gives the illegal head shot to, provided he doesn't go after an old target. I'm assuming Detroit doesn't come back and beats Anaheim in 7. You see, ever since the whole Doritos Locos Tacos thing, Taco Bell thinks they can do whatever they want.
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 I`d laugh if they rehired Brian Burke. 2 Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
babaganoosh13 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) I`d laugh if they rehired Brian Burke. Return to the glory days of blaming the refs and the NHL for everything.

Kor Qel Droma Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I wonder what would come back if Vancouver dangled the Sedins as tradebait. Nevermind, it probably won't happen. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Krookie Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 I wonder what would come back if Vancouver dangled the Sedins as tradebait. Nevermind, it probably won't happen. I think they have another 2 or 3 years with a team built around them before they need to trade them
Malcador Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Boston sure does choke. Was hoping to see Leafs fans weeping tonight Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
babaganoosh13 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Strangely enough, that is the exact same look I would have given her if she was around when I watched "Girl Next Door" at the drive-in, while wearing my North Stars shirt.
