Visnovsky was fine with being an Islander until he went home and told his mother and she dis-owned him

That might work for the Islanders... you can fit all the season ticket holders into your backyard and discuss your idea of boycotting the team this year... but teams like Vancouver and Toronto who have thousands and thousands of people on the season ticket waiting list who have money, time and motivation to pay whatever it takes to get a chance at season tickets. The organization would turn around and contact those fans on the waiting list and would snatch those tickets up in a heart beat.

Hey guys I'm going to start an online Gm mode for nhl13, Id like to get every team run by a user. If you're interested in running a team legitimately and not half assing it let me know.

Posted this on RC's blog yesterday and have 10 users already. Every team except the Sabres, Canes, Canucks, Bolts, Penguins, Capitals, Panthers, Sharks, Rangers, Habs, and Flyers are available.

Ps3 only. Respond with a team if you want in. If you want a taste of superior hockey management sign up and watch me do work on you chumps.

PM if interested, thanks.

Id join, but ps3 is for inferior broke asses.

Anyone starting an XBOX 360 league?

Maybe I read wrong Ek, but how do you figure the trade still goes through when the Islanders weren't on his list in the first place?

I wouldn't want to play for the Islanders either.

Yeah, the thought of the season going down the tubes and the idea that when they come back, a year from now, their key players will be another year older and one year further removed from contention.

And as we all know, the Marlies' players don't age.

It's about the timing of the trade, and whether he had a no-trade clause in place at all. I believe he only had a NTC in his final season. The Ducks will be arguing that they traded Lubo before his final season had begun.

Big difference, when a 23 year old and a 33 year old loses a year to a labour dispute. Just think, Luongo will be 34, if we miss another year and the sisters will be another year into their 30's. Just think..... diminishing assets!

Sounds like the Ducks have a case, if that is indeed the deal that he signed.
