Realignment is crap. Boston has a free ride to the final 4. 2 of the florida teams, toronto and montreal who will be in purgatory for 3 more years each at least. So its Buffalo and Ottawa that remain. Bunch of BS

I think they are rethinking re-alignment, especially with the new stadium going up in Quebec... It sounds likely that Phoenix will go there after next season.

This is true,
every time I drive across the border they ask me if I have any weapons in the car.

I work with a gal from Newfoundland.
Now she has a killer accent.

i'm sure i'm mad l8 ...

- Nicklas Grossmann wore a brace on his left knee in Dallas, before he arrived in Philly. Now he’ll wear two ... for the time being.

The massive Flyers defenseman, who suffered a knee-on-knee hit against Pittsburgh’s Joe Vitale last Sunday, walked into the dressing room Thursday morning with a new brace for his right knee. He was not seen limping, a very good sign.

Grossmann, who has not skated with the team since last weekend, remains optimistic he’ll be ready to go when the playoffs open next week.

“I’m pretty used to it, but yeah, we’ll see how that

- Don'tForgetTocchet[two braces] goes,” Grossmann kidded. “Me and Forrest Gump.”


wow, go NN man go

The last time I went fishing in Canada (2001) I declared my filet knife. Be afraid Northern Pike and Walleye, be very afraid.

regardless of how they align the teams, the teams themselves have no control over how their competition plays, iow, it's not boston's fault that the rest of the teams in their division suck.

i'd rather they redesign the points system, and change the seeding structure.

Most Canadians I've ever spoken to or heard speak pronounce words like "about" as "aboat" -- never actually heard someone say "aboot" except comedians. Good friend of mine says that in parts of Canada, you can "go out and about in a boat" and it sounds like you went "oat 'n' aboat in a boat."

Your money is called the Looney.... THE LOONEY! Where do bank tellers keep thiere Canadian Money? THE LOONEY BIN! Seriously... how do you take a financial crisis seriously... "In todays news... The value of the looney has droped... again the Looney has crashed...."

When Canadians sing about money, are the songs classified as "Looney Tunes"?

- RooNosHockey


LOL Nice.. we also have toonies.. 2$ bills. I'd take offense and say something, but if you shot me, I couldn't pay for your rich person only health care..

Absolutely Bill. And then there's the Newfies who are a whole different dialect..

Some of the Baymen (people who are from the remote parts of Newfoundland) you can barely understand..

There's also some weird terminology.. Some people don't call it a couch but a Chesterfield. When I go to the States.. I ask for a pop.. (coke).. Apparently when I've had a few beers at the buzzgates, I revert to a more Canadian dialect.. At least that's what Bo, Lukin OB18 tangent man say....

I may be late to notice this, but did anyone else comment on the fact that the Phils and Flyers will be in the dreaded Iron City on Saturday??

Well.. I've been all over both countries and they are both awesome. Remember, my favorite team is comprised of mostly Canadians and represents my favorite US City.
