On other news ESPN has just announced the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup.... Last year

Their hockey coverage has really been improving as of late

When does the waiver period end officially?
Is it at noon eastern time?
I'm unsure.
- BuffaloHardHat

Yes, Noon eastern time.

While part of me understands the sentiment, the other part of me wonders if it's just thinly veiled racism. That being said, I hate the NBA, but love the college game.

Personally, what turns me off about the NFL is the attitude. They're the biggest sports product in the country by far, and they know it. They can do just about anything and fans will still watch, buy their products, etc. without even thinking about it.
- buffalofan19

It's not. I can assure you.
Just look at what has transpired over the past 5 years alone with some NFL players retired and active.
It tells its own story really.

I agree.

Moulson/Hoff/Halak are moved IMO
- sbroads24

It should be an interesting day for sure.

My guess is Hank, Halak and Moulson get moved today. Ehrhoff could go to Colorado. I read earlier this morning that they want a vet d man with term left on his contract and McGinn and Parenteau are in play.

Yes, Noon eastern time.

Thank you Goose.

I dont want to trade these guys just to trade them though, im glad TM is asking for a lot honestly. Wish we could call up Feaster..

SO are you more turned off by the game on teh field or "the game" off the field. They have become a monopoly and have out priced majority of America. Who is going to spend well over a hundred on a jersey that was made in china for 2 bucks

A little bit of both. I enjoy the game just fine. I don't enjoy it enough to the point that I'll do anything for it, which is how the NFL conducts itself.

The problem is people are still paying it though (mostly with credit cards, and money they don't really have).

I'm a Broncos fan and the resell market for a Broncos game I went to in October was ridiculous. I lucked out and found nosebleeds on Craigslist for about $150 per, but the NFL really does price itself out for the average fan pretty quickly.

On another "note" the Ratdog show was pretty good last night. Weir was very good and his band mates were spot on.
Only one complaint, Shea's is an awesome theater but does not have the proper ventilation system for Pseudo Deadhead B.O. .....I know I'm older now but come on dudes take a freaking shower!

I sold my tickets last week because I had to go to FLORIDA. So, I missed the show last night. I am sure it was great.

the amount of people who buy tickets with teh pipe dream to resell to pay for their tickets is alarming

I could see Tallinder going to Dallas today.

did you feel this way when you were first starting getting into hockey? Hockey is very regionalised. Cincy has the Cyclones after the Ducks folded and could never hold a higher level than that. Its an area where the first question your asked is where did you go to highschool and did you play football there.

My first game watching hockey was watching the Russia and the Us in the Olympics.I was just flipping channels one day as a kid and found it .What a game.Fast forward to Hot stove dinner and looking for something to watch in between Bills becoming disappointing.Ted Nolan and a bunch of guys leaving their hearts on the ice and a goalie who was pure electric in the net.Loved the game from the very begining

From a pure investment standpoint, in the right market, it's not a bad move.

I hope this isn't true.
The one player (vet) I want them to keep they will move.

is the key, also think that where the seats are located matters as well. Football is easier to move but when everyone is trying to sell can get tough

Good choice and a healthy Tallinder is huge asset to any playoff team.

Luckily I'm a pretty good trip planner. I found a free park and ride and take the rail to the stadium. Beers weren't any more expensive than any other sporting event. They even had regular Coors in aluminum cans. That was pretty awesome.

It's so weird when people say they want to keep Stafford.
