Hockey Fans?

[Smarty39]

What the heck! Do we have no hockey fans in here or what? I have been waiting for someone to say something about all the action in the past couple days....but nothing. C'mon guys, what happened to all the good old Canadian born hockey fanatics? Especially with all the deals our bench boss has made...

There must be atleast a few of you that share my passion for our game.....we do live in Calgary you know

Re: Hockey Fans?

I used to be a big fan but with the strike and then the changes to the rules and the draft and trade controversy its just too much for me, I am exasperated. Maybe in a year I can muster up my old enthusiasm.

I don't like the politics of the game I just like the game, the more that happens off the ice the less I want to watch.

I'm a fan.

I didn't know if anyone else around here was into hockey so I kept my mouth shut!

Re: Hockey Fans?

Iginla was going to be resigned no matter what, it was just a matter of how much. There was no way that Sutter was going to let him go at the end of the year.

I agree that the lockout took it toll on the fans that weren't super-fans to begin with, but I think that the rule changes are for the better. Also, the salary-cap should make for a much more level playing field, more like the NFL I think. It shouldn't take teams so long to rebuild now under the new agreement.

Re: Hockey Fans?

Iginla resigned, I am happy about Amonte. If we can sign neidermeyer I would be ecstatic. But we are already running into cap room. We should have an excellent team next year.

Re: Hockey Fans?

I would probably be a season ticket holder if I made more money and lived in calgary during the winter

Re: Hockey Fans?

Should be a great season. Iginla re-signing, and we Oiler fans are happy with Pronger and now Peca joining the team.

Forsberg just signed with Phily. Madness, but we all love it.

Re: Hockey Fans?

For the record, because it was mentioned more than once above, it wasn't a strike.

The players were locked out.

Loving all the signings. The Canadian teams are now competitive and long-term stability is possible in all existing markets.

Really....well, how do feel about giving up one of the best young d-men in the game (Brewer) and one of the best young prospects (as a d-man) in Woywitka, for a guy who has had more wrist problems then a regular at Source Adult Video? Oh, and he gets paid 5 times as much as Brewer too! Don't get me wrong I would love to have Pronger on our team too, but not for the amount the Oil gave up.

Peca on the other hand, was a good pick-up. Solid two way forward with the ability to score or throw a big hit.
