Man ... Robitaille - Roenick - Demitra - Palffy ... the kings are going to be strong! Is Cechmanek going to be back?

Neither Palffy or Cechmanek are on the roster as of yet

Of the new rules, this has to be the best. I mean, how long have fans waited for this?:

Shootouts Guarantee A Winner -- The "breakaway" is the most exciting play in hockey, and fans will see more than ever this regular season as the NHL will implement a shootout to decide tied games. Games tied at the end of regulation play will continue with a sudden-death overtime period featuring four skaters per side (5 minutes). If the game remains tied, a shootout will determine the winner.

I'm not too partial to the shootout. I was thinking, what if they played overtimes where each period, it was one less person per side .. like 1OT is 4 on 4, 2OT is 3 on 3, 3OT is 2 on 2 and 4OT is 1 on 1, which would essentially be like a shootout.

i agree that shootouts can be exciting, i don't agree with it being the deciding factor...play until somebody scores.

Hate to dissapoint you guys. But out of obscurity here we come. 2005/2006 Stanley cup champions THE MINNESOTA WILD.

New team, new organization, Jacque Lemaire at the helm, and solid players.
May be a little heavy on the defense for the new rule set but, we'll talk in the playoffs.

Sorry to tell you this but Pittsburgh used up all of its sports luck for the next decade or so on the Steelers last year. Youre just SOL for a while again.

So how do you explain them getting Crosby?

[Cameo]

I honestly don't care if they are winning or losing, just as long as I am at a hockey game and Iceburgh is eating someones head. I love the sport.. the outcome of the game does not matter much to me.
