imawesome1124 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 ^ Whoa! That's on the level of Lemieux or Gretzky. I didn't even know hockey was recognized in Israel. (That is the Israeli flag isn't it?) What a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdub96 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 ^the dude is Russian though, thats where he got the moves. And dang, that's not Lemieux/Gretzky like, its more on the level of Rob Hisey... or...Linus Omark, although this one isnt as flashy by any means... or...Valery Kamensky...

tdub96 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 ^I saw both of those today on the NHL hompage. Sick stuff, although I prefer Strome's goal, a little fancier IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemical_echo Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Winnipeg Jets unveiled their new logo today. Check out their Official Site. I've read a lot of hate towards the new logo, but I personally love it. It's simple, modern, showcases canada, great colour; I can't wait to see it on their jerseys.

imawesome1124 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I like it, but would have liked to see the logo from the old Jets more. I do think it is cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I still think they should have gone with the old Jets logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harper83087 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 What's up everyone? Any 'Yotes fans here? I really like the new Jets logo personally, going with the old/retro logo would have been good too but this one is just as appealing in my eyes.

beatle11 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 ^ There are coyotes fans? Sorry, couldn't resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harper83087 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 ^Yea yea yea I get that a lot especially because I converted from a wings fan, born and raised in detroit. Usually I get that people will give the coyotes respect when they get passed round one of the playoffs haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatle11 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 ^ They have been a good team the last two seasons, but they faced the Wings both years. Sorry, but I really believe it's just a matter of time before the coyotes move elsewhere. They just aren't making any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harper83087 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 That's one of the reasons I'm supporting them now, I can't go without hockey having grown up playing and having hockey as THE sport. Gotta show the desert dogs some love!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterhockey1616 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 anybody download the nhl 12 demo today, i know i did the only thing im dissapointed in was that you can't change the game speed in the demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harper83087 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 ^The game comes out next month correct?

STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'm going to see Tim Thomas and the Stanley Cup tomorrow!!! Well, my trip was somewhat of a success. Tim Thomas was already gone by the time I got there (had to wait for my roommate to get out of work!). We missed his speech, and obviously didn't get to see him, but I did get to see these, anyway. I was still super pumped! I really wanted to get a photo of myself with the trophies, but the police were hurrying people right along. I barely had enough time to snap this photo with my phone, and one with my regular camera. Oh well. I guess I'll have another chance next year when the Red Wings bring the Stanley Cup back home. In order from left to right: The Conn Smythe Trophy, The Stanley Cup, and the Vezina Trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harper83087 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 ^That's awesome!!! Seeing the Cup is always great, but personally I'd be more excited to meet Thomas. Playing goalie when growing up I watch them more than anybody on the ice and Thomas is one of my favorites. I'm going to say this right now, and I'm probably going to going to get hazed and horribly disappointed come the playoffs like the past two seasons, PHOENIX IS BRINGING THE CUP TO THE DESERT BABY!!!! Oh and NHL 12, yes checking into the bench for the win as well haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatle11 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Will it never end.... http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=374888 PREDATORS: FORMER NHLER BELAK FOUND DEAD IN TORONTO Former NHLer Wade Belak has been found dead in Toronto, according to a Nashville Predators spokesman. The cause of his death is as of yet undetermined. The team released the following statement: “The entire Nashville Predators organization and family is shocked and saddened by the sudden and untimely passing of Wade Belak. Wade was a beloved member of the organization, a terrific teammate and wonderful father and husband who will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Jennifer and children Andie and Alex. We offer our full support to them at this very difficult time.” Belak played 15 games last season for the Predators, finishing with 18 penalty minutes and a minus-1 rating. He was placed on waivers by the club in February of this year. He retired shortly after clearing waivers unclaimed. Former NHL tough guy Georges Laraque joined TSN Radio's Cybulski & Company shortly after the news of Belak's death broke and spoke about the pressures of being an enforcer on the ice. "Now I think people will realize the tough job of playing in the NHL and the tough job of being a heavyweight," he said. "It takes a lot mentally. It's really hard." He went on about the realities that come with punching your weight for a living in the NHL. "When you retire after being a heavyweight for as many years as you played, most of those guys didn't make [much] money, so there's no options for them after," Laraque said. "So, after you have all this pressure of playing and fighting for a living, now you have to fight to live when life after hockey is over." Many of Belak's former teammates took to Twitter to express their disbelief. "Wade Belak was one of funniest dudes I had ever met. Just was with him earlier this summer. Can't believe it Thoughts and prayers to his fam," tweeted recent Preds teammate Blake Geoffrion. Former Maple Leafs teammate Owen Nolan also expressed his shock via Twitter. "I'm lost for words. Wade Belak RIP my friend," his tweet read. The 35-year-old Belak spent parts of 14 seasons in the NHL with Nashville, Toronto, Florida, Calgary and Colorado. In 549 career games he scored eight goals and added 25 assists, while racking up 1263 penalty minutes. He was originally drafted by the Quebec Nordiques in the first round, 12th overall, at the 1994 NHL Entry Draft. Wade was always loved in Toronto. He had probably the best sense of humor in the NHL. RIP Wade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
