If ESPN got the NHL over NBC, I'm sure they'd move some of those personalities over to ESPN. Since NBC wouldn't be doing the NHL any longer.Will take whatever gives me less Pierre, Milbury, and Roenick. Thanks.
I don't know. There's A LOT of deadweight to clear there. Like that STUPID Abdelkader contract. I remember when people argued a few years ago that it wasn't that bad of a contract.I love what he built in Tampa. That’s bad news for anyone fighting without Detroit. Their turn around will be fast.
That's actually the most ringing endorsement of Bettman I've ever read.In fairness though espn did have a right to lowball the nhl before they left. Coming off a lost season? Two work stoppages in what 10 years? Then they leave for the outdoor network? Just goes to show you how much interest was in the nhl back then.
Now espn doesn’t carry the weight it use to but you can’t deny the name recognition it gives.
Not to mention it had Gary throne calling the games and he rocks
I'm quite happy with NBC's coverage and promotion of the game. Pierre may be a goof, but he's very passionate and quite knowledgeable about the game.lol yeah because Pierre is much better? Guess people forgot the tracking technology from the allstar game nbc threw up there.
Maybe I’m a rare type of person but I don’t care who calls the game I will sit and watch it if I want to then when it’s over I turn it off. Announcers don’t make the game better or worse for me.

I feel like they're in a similar position to where we were when Lou left, but they do have a bit more young talent than we did.
He probably would not have played in the NHL through 2018 if he had stayed in the NHL between 2008-2011 though. He may have broken down earlier. Maybe he would have retired from the NHL by 2014 or 2015 or so. His game may not have been as impactful by 2014 or that first season he played for us.shame he should never have left after his stint with the rangers. he would've gotten to the great one for sure
lol Jagr seriously went to a second-division team in the Czech league to help get them promoted? Talk about playing for the love of the game.
Doesn't Jagr own the team? I thought he did.I think it was for Jagr's hometown team. If I recall correctly, Markus Naslund and Peter Forsberg did something similar towards the end of their careers (albeit not nearly the same age as Jagr) to help their hometown club stay out of relegation.

who was the one who was clammoring for the Devils to give Wayne Simmonds a long-term contract this summer....?
He had 3 points in 19 games in Nashville.
YIKES.

seriously fantastic game between Vegas and the Sharks last night...
Any thoughts on the 5minute major to Eakin?
I get the cross check in the chest is a penalty but it looked like the 5min major was just bad luck of the aftermath of Pavelski being off-balance?
