I'm a Stars fan, but I'm not deluded into thinking they're better than average.  They can't win in a shoot out.  The Stars are still half NHL half AHL.  The franchise is also lot like a science museum, lots of money invested in fossils.  They need more pruning and acquisitions.  I still can't believe they gave up Hagmann and got Avery, especially with Avery's history with specific personalities on the Star's roster.  :rolleyes:   If you don't think they're still hurting from that deal, you're not paying close attention.  I'm cheering for them though.  Lets see what happens Wednesday when the two oldest-timers hit the ice. 

Jamie Benn is a stellar rookie!~

Since we never really had a hockey team close to me until 1997, I didn't follow hockey all that much.  I think I remember following it a little in the mid 90's and pulling for the Rangers, but ever since '97 I've followed these guys....

I'm not what you would call a die hard fan or anything, I just like pulling for them and am looking forward to going to my first NHL game hopefully later this month.  The Mrs. is all excited about going too, we've heard nothing but good things from people about how awesome they are to see in person.

Ice Hockey is one of those games that are really great to see live.  There's so much happening that TV doesn't capture.  Players changing on the fly, action behind the play, etc.  These guys skate so fast too, you don't get the sense of that on TV.  You'll have a blast, I'm sure.  Shout at us when you see a game!~  :aok

I would have picked Malkin too, but I think they're trying to get Crosby to understand what it takes to be great in the NHL by making him the captain. It's not all about skills but sportsmanship and teamwork count just as much or even more. making him the captain is like the coach telling him "Ok, you're the captain for this team. I know you're new to the NHL, but you need to learn discipline and much more before sportsmanship too." He's kinda being forced to learn these concepts by being made captain, and it's slowly working too. In a few years he may be even better than he is now, but he has a lot of learning to do first.

A comment on TV coverage.

I've always found that canadian broadcasts give you more of the game.  The direction (as in management) of the cameras is much better.

Hockey is not a game that you zoom in for a close up of the dude with the puck as he goes up the ice.  He ain't a running back.

I've noticed too that crews seem to struggle with widescreen format.  Often the picture is half rink/half crowd.  Or they zoom out so far that the players on screen are a half inch tall on my 40" LCD.

At least they're not using the friggin glowing puck anymore!~  :rolleyes:

Patrick Roy was a dirty player, so dirty that he toaught his kid his ways, and got him banned from his highschool hockey team. Brueder break sawchuks records? LOL. Minutes in a season? coach overplayed him. So hes got some talents and all, but he will NEVER be as good as #1 (it says it on his jersey to) Terry Sawchuk

James Neal gets a 5 minute major, a game misconduct and a two game suspension for boarding Derek Dorsett.

Compare Neal's offense to Mike Richards' creaming David Booth in the head at the blue line.  Richards got he major and the misconduct, but no suspension, when clearly he was aiming to clean Booth's clock.

Trying to compare present day players to the players back when there was only 6 teams is an apple and oranges kind of thing.

 Players today are bigger, faster,better equiped and the game has changed.That said most players today wouldnt have made the league back then,the pool of players is so large it's been watered down.

 I'm not saying every player wouldnt make,there's some outstanding talent out there and I'm sure some of todays players certainly would have made the team.The real differences are in the game itself and the attitude of the players.

 Personally I hate hearing so and so is better than so and so when it comes to players of different eras.

  I wonder how good Broudure or Roy would have been facing shots without a mask or if Sawchuk could handle a 100 mph slapshot!Dont even get me started on the changes to the rules,geeze it's not even the same game,the instigater rule has basically turned the game into cheapshot freeforall.

 Back a few decades ago you'd never think of cheapshotting the star as the enforcer would take care of you,nowadays carees are ended far to often as a result of this.The player respect has gone from the game as well and this only adds to the problem.

 Of course opinions vary and everyone has 1,so I'm mearly expressing mine.

 BTW,incase you dont know I'm a canuk so I've seen afew games over the years....

That was a nasty hit. Richards was trying to hurt him otherwise he would have lowered the shoulder a bit more and hit Booths chest. Still would have been a real good hit but probably wouldn't have knocked Booth into next month.

Agreed Milo,like I said apples and oranges it's completely different. Heck when I played the had just made helmets manditory for minor league play,mouth guards were unheard of,ya I have the teeth or lack of to prove it.. :lol

 I think the skill level has improved,the players are much bigger but I dont think they are as tough as the oldtimers.Then there's all that money...Thats why I hate those comparisons so much,sorta like saying who's the best boxer Ali or Dempsey... It just isnt fair to either side of the coin as there's so much difference in the sports.
