NHL 2011/2012 - Now "The Lockout" Thread

[c.jacob]

So the season has begun.  Quite a few new issues and debates that have been going on in the way of headshots and fighting.

GO LEAFS GO

and Welcome back to the Winnipeg Jets

Go Jets!

So the season has begun.  Quite a few new issues and debates that have been going on in the way of headshots and fighting.

While I agree we need to crack down, Shanahan is going overboard with these suspensions. McArthur got 2 regular season games for hitting the guy in the shoulder and the dude took a dive. Same suspension time as Sesito who smashed a guy face first into the boards from 2 feet away. I don't like seeing guys get hurt, but if these suspensions stay up there we'll have no hitting left in the game at all.

The OHL has been giving some stiff suspensions for hits.  Many around 15-22 games with hits that didn't result in an injury.

Alright, who here has a back up team?  I root for the Winnipeg Jets, but if they get knocked out, then I'll reluctantly cheer for Vancouver.

 

[HavokFour]

I'm cheering for:

Ottawa
Montreal
New Jersey
and Winnipeg

Unfortunately you can only pick one in the poll.

 

[cupper]

Caps all the way.

Unfortunately until they reassign Winnipeg to the Western Conference, They won't be my back-up team. So Calgary remains it for me.

Any Canadian team is my backup team, but Montreal's at the bottom of the Canadian team list, with Ottawa a close second-last.

Oh I'm there. If we go 5-0 to start the season I'll know this team is for real this year. I like what I see so far!!

Barely. Let the Sens come back with 4 goals in 10 minutes of the third. Gotta wonder.

 

[PJGary]

I was cheering for the Flames, but I heard they just decided to call it quits for the season and come back next year, guess I'll have to find someone else  .

I do have my other team.

GO PETES GO  ;D

Just like last year......and the year before....and the year before that......and the year........

The year before wasn't a good start at all.  We waited til late November to see a win.

 

[rmc_wannabe]

GO LEAFS GO!

 

[LOLslamball]

GO CANUCKS GO

Not sure of my backup team, hopefully won't need one as in hopefully(and realistically) the Canucks will make it farther than any back up team I would choose.  rooting for the jets for sure though, mostly because of the logo.

 

[Dou You]

Go Ducks! RPG is gonna kill it once they get in swing! Can't beat the line of Ryan, MVPerry, and Getzlaf...pure beauuuuuuties!

 

[Jimmy_D]

Montreal and Philly, but when in the event that it comes down to Canadian team or American team, definately have to go with

Will you settle for 3-0-1?
