Lol, Jacques Martin. If he works with the Ds, you'll be fine, else, prepare yourself for the most boring hockey you'll ever watch

Yeah I would imagine they got him to work with the D

I think he could do well with the devils. The hate he gets for his "boring hockey" system is a little blown out of proportion IMO.

Dunno if it was that much out of proportion, but his last year behind the bench was painful to watch.

But to be fair, the team he had wasn,t the most enjoyable to watch either. But I enjoyed much more games in the shortened season last year than the complete year before, but a lot of that goes the the young guns who gave a good show

Douglas Murray is now in Montreal... great defenseman, was a shame to see the Pens not keep him

Kovalchuk on anti-gay laws: 'I agree' | Fox News

I like(d) Kovalchuk, but come on dude. I bet the staff in NJ are chanting hail mary's that he's gone. Could have been a PR disaster

I'm dying

Sorry he's pretty much always been a douche bag

Same coaches, same system, mostly same players, expecting different results really wouldn't make sense

Their strategy comes down to praying Fleury doesn't shit the bed again this year.

Pretty much... though I also wonder if they're going to let Martin revise their defensive system as well.

Just another cook in the kitchen otherwise. You're probably correct.

I'm interested in seeing how the Wings do in the Eastern Conference. It's still mind boggling that they're in the Atlantic Division.

Can't wait for the highest level of the best sport in the world to get underway.

Just to keep this thread about the real hockey, I started another one about the game: http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/computers-electronics-gaming/249108-nhl-14-a.html

That being said, first pre-game is sheduled on sunday, gotta find a way to watch it!

 

[technomancer]

Preseason opens 6PM tomorrow local time for the Pens, can't wait to watch the game

Got to admit the idea of changing the third line to another skill like has me less than thrilled as they REALLY need some grit in the lineup to make them harder to play against

Our first game is Monday, against the Habs. Can't wait. Eriksson is quickly becoming a home town favourite. During today's skirmish, he got a goal and an assist (on a Kelly goal) in the first 10 minutes, against Rask. He's fitting in very well with Marchy and Bergy, as well as Iginla fitting in well with Krejci and Looch

 

[technomancer]

Yeah you guys should really be able to make good use of Iginla.

Pens open against Columbus, should be fun to watch.

 

[misingonestring]

I hope Shero makes a move soon to get us under the cap.

 

[taliababa]

I thought the curse of Danny ....ing Cleary was at an end, but nooooo Ken Holland, in his infinite idiocy, signs this bum. From the sounds of things, he also wants to sign Cleary to an extension.

 

[technomancer]

I hope Shero makes a move soon to get us under the cap.

I would bet it will be closer to the start of the season... need to see how guys do on the ice a bit before they make any decisions

Veteran goalie Tim Thomas may sign with Panthers today according to source - South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

Kind of brightened my morning.

EDIT- It's official!

Great game tonight. Didn't like Johnson in goal though. First line combined for 6 points. Really liking Iginla up there.
