Most teams yes but all on the same time zone so it doesn't really affect me.

Of course but that is the negative way of thinking. I can only see positives about it until he's playing in another NBA jersey.

Nets are doing a great job keeping in contact with Deron. It hurts not having him here this year for our chances but once he comes back he will see the progress in Brooklyn and hopefully a better roster as well.

I hope they get a young coach to grow with these guys. The past ten years we've had very limited talent but there is no excuse for missing the next Olympics after this as we should not be losing to the teams they have been losing to in the past. Triano was let go because of the lack of talent but I wouldn't want to see him back either. I really just hope with a new coach comes a new change of pretty much everything and they start putting more funding or something into Canada Basketball.

Heard that if an NHL plane crashes, they hold a fantasy draft in the offseason where the team can pick none protected players from other teams to create a new team. Not that I'd ever want an entire team to die but would be neat to watch a fantasy draft.

Ruslan Salei was a favourite of mine growing up and I was rooting for Brad MC to get he Grand Rapids job this summer and they both went to Russia together. Horrible news.

The reason it is tolerated is because it is hockey. Yes it is violent but when you compare it to sports like boxing and MMA, you realize it's just an aspect of the sport that has been around for years. Nobody has to fight but some players it's their jobs. The NHL should be looking into more programs to deal with life after hockey and such because soon it won't only be fighters, as players like Marc Savard are pretty much [expletive]ed for the rest of their lives.

Big comeback win for Syracuse against Wake Forest. Bailey looks great as a starter.

Tom Cavanagh also took his life earlier in the year as well. I don't see a point taking out fighting from hockey. There are sports with much more violence than hockey so the NHL should just put more effort into creating programs for players that help with this kinda thing and help prepare for life after hockey.

Seemed like a down to earth guy all the times I've watched him on OTR. Pretty crazy offseason.

When you guys are saying commentary sucks is it because they used the same stuff from last year or is it actually just awful?

Yeah I paid 69.99 plus tax and $2 protection but I see it's down to $59.99 on websites. Gonna head down to EB to see if it's higher here again but still might not grab it.

The biggest problem with winning the Cup is trying to sign dudes after. You can get the cheap vets looking for a ring but your own players become highly overrated. I know the Blackhawks already had salary problems before but it's a great example. That's why the Red Wings are a freak of nature team.

For some stupid reason even with the game being made in Canada, it has gone up in price ever since last year. It came to around $80 bucks for NHL 11 and is the same for 12. I could easily take a 15 minute trip to the States since our dollar for once is better but I'm a dynasty player anyways and they never have it fully completed until December.....[expletive]ing roster sharing.

I don't know what to think. Feels like NHL 11 with a different set up screens. I like the amount of player faces but that is also just from two teams but the stuff they added in was pretty much pointless. Goalie fights are stupid as heck especially since the fighting is horrible and I've been scoring the same way you had to in the other series as well. Definately gonna wait for this to drop in price because not worth $80 for NHL 11 upgraded.

Exactly. I'd raher pass over a thread then have to read stupid shit in the one I post in.

Demo just came out. Still downloading for me.

Syracuse: 6-6 With the unknown of Sales and the amount of injuries we've had before the season has even started, looks like it might be rough.

Canada has actually began cracking down on illegal immigrants who have created crimes. I think they have a list of 40 of the most dangerous ones being released last week but said about a total of 4,000 people are wanted for deportation due to crimes which is crazy. As for regular immigration. I realize we were all immigrants coming here but I really believe in this economic time, we should close our country and work on getting North America back up and running. The goverment spends billions and billions of dollars for third world countries helping them and yet we still have thousands of people who leave the country for a better life resulting in more money needed for the country, and also for the person who has nothing coming to the "better life".

In high school we use to battle on lunch with vinager and other hings to make us smell like shit for the rest of the day and got sprayed in the eye by OTRs most famous asian and now I have less than 50% vision in my left eye. Also put a knife in my belt and stubbed my toe resulting in bending over and the knife going into my leg. The best one is when I was working in grade seven for a nurserry, we had to ride in the back of dump trucks to get to the feilds and one day when we got back, I hoped over the edge and someone held onto my foot and I dropped like seven feet onto my back and now its [expletive]ed. I wasn't the smartest teenager.

Was going to get the NHL network from PS3 but might grab this instead of watching the Bills. Great news!

Pretty crazy that he beat cancer once and was on pace to maybe become our future PM. Seemed like one heck of a dude.

For laptops and netbooks you should always have the battery out if you just are using it via the charge. I learned that the shitty way and my Dell battery got destroyed.

Not locking Favre away after his fist retirement. It would have been great to have him on the sidelines last year.
