The 2009-10 NHL Regular Season

[Qb]

It's that time again folks! Things kick off tomorrow night with four games:

Montreal/Toronto
Vancouver/Calgary
Washington/Boston
San Jose/Colorado

The last two games will be televised on everyone's favorite hockey network, Versus, in stunning high-definition. The first two will be on CBC for our Canadian cohorts. I know I'll be watching WSH/BOS, great game between potential contenders to kick off the season...

Just so we're on the same page, please use this thread for general NHL discussion, such as game results, minor news, rumors, etc. Separate threads for big stories such as major trades -- once they actually happen -- are OK, but as always, it is up to staff discretion when it comes to merging/closing threads. And keep an eye out for future sticky-threads for the Olympics, trade deadline, and Playoffs.

Now drop the [bleeping] puck!

I'll be stuck watching Tor/Montreal. I'd much prefer to watch Wsh/Bos. But I don't have the center Ice package so I'm screwed!

wooooooo

its that time of the year..

cant wait to watch all these games!!

First game of the year stands on its own, often as what not to expect from a team throughout the rest of the season.

It's great though, tons of energy, tons of excitement, usually pretty entertaining games.

How do you get to watch your Wings games? Also, I am screwed too. I read in the paper that DTV and Verus are in a fight, so they are not showing the Sharks game. I have center Ice, but will they block out that game?

Best sport in the world starts tomorrow. Can't wait. Too bad the Caps have already majorly screwed up with their roster once already.

But...even so, I have high hopes. Anything less than a Stanley Cup is a failure for this year's team. From here on out, I expect a Cup (not like, oh we're the best, more like, the talent's there, we've been close, no more excuses).

The thing is, as excited as I am for this year's team, I see next year's Caps being much, much better. Theodore will be gone, we'll lose some terrible defensemen, prospects will be playing, tons of cap room...oh the possibilities.

Here's to a great year!

A couple months ago, when TSN first announced their TV schedule, both of tomorrow's Versus games were on there. Weeks later, they disappeared. I'm guessing the MotherCorp squawked.

I'm going to do a 2 team parlay tommorow. I'm going to be a homer and pick the Nucks over the Flames but I don't know what other game I'm going to pick. All of the games are too close to call. I know the Sharks vs. Avs is a mismatch on paper but Sakic's jersey is being retired and this will probably give the Av's a lift. I'm leaning towards picking the ... gulp .... Leafs as my 2nd pick.

The Rangers are presenting the Top 10 List on Letterman tonight. Henrik Lundqvist also has a 4 page Nautica ad spread in the current issue of GQ.
