Glad to hear Winnipeg is back in the NHL!!! They bought the Thrashers out of Atlanta, and from what I understand are trying to acquire the naming rights to change the name to the Jets! Way to go!

Thanks Ernie. The name is ours if we want it. But its a pretty complicated thing- the name of the team. I be the 13000 tickets are sold out by 2 pm tomorrow. I will not be buying any dispite my efforts...

I was sad to be in Vancouver on Tuesday, and sad to leave at 5:30 on wednesday. Missed to huge parties.

Nice to see another hockey fan here.

Not many people I know went to work Tuesday, and many hangovers Wednesday. Vancouver was buzzing with excitement. More energy than during the Olympics.

I guess Kyle will have an NHL to cheer for! I don't think they will call the new team Jets!

Where are Rob and Kevin on this one???

Two pals I made judging the Winnipeg show.

Funny people called in drunk! Love it. Good reason to party!

It'd be a disgrace to call them anything but the Jets IMO.

Village People... probably not the best idea, but could have catchy promo nights!

I think it's a shame so few teams remain in the great white north! Sometimes, us gringos get a little greedy with such things. Dallas, Phoenix, Atlanta, Columbus,Carolina... weren't too well thought out.

Tampa and Florida (Miami) do pretty well because Florida is populated with people that moved from cold places that have hockey teams.

Sheesh, I'm an example- born in Pittsburgh (go Pens! Will always be my team!). Moved to Florida, Lightning became my home team when they expanded the league. Moved to Charlotte, Hurricanes. Moved to DC (F@#$ you Caps!). Moved to Chicago. Back to the Bolts.

**Evsltkzl** · 04-06-2011, 10:39 PM

The team didn't leave because of lack of fan support, that's for sure!

I always thought the players all made six figures and up. Good to know they don't, but how then is there a minimum salary cap of $46 million for the team? (that's what I hear, anyway). If a team is paying their players that much, where do they get the money from? The fans have to pay to support the team. If the players play for the love of the game, then great, but who regulates the wages? It's just plain stupid for the wages to be that high.

**choollaBard** · 06-16-2011, 08:11 PM

Wow. What a crazy series. I'm glad Boston won. Mark Recchi and Tim Thomas deserve it too. I think NBC missed bleeping out Recchi dropping the F bomb when he first got the Cup??? Our DVR replay was inclusive.

Funny.

I was sort of disappointed at Vancouver's lackluster play, almost like they rolled over. Seems like they ran out of steam, the D especially. I was hoping for a harder-fought game 7, not a 4-0 shutout. I enjoyed the heck out of the games in Boston, especially- fun, tough hockey. The games in Boston (rough, tumble routings) were distinctly different than those in Vancouver (tighter, faster, 1 pt spread). Now a couple more months for Sid and Gino to recover and it's right back at it...

**Prosocorneliay** · 06-16-2011, 08:13 PM

Yeah, I ended up watching the last two. Also heard the mis-bleep, Ernie.
Agree about Vancouver's play, definitely seemed like the kind of just gave up towards the end there. Ah well…another win for Boston!

**choollaBard** · 08-07-2011, 06:06 AM

Monday's and tonight's games were very fun to watch! The B's found Loungo's weak spot (anywhere above his leg glove side). Tim Thomas gets another hit credit and a take down. Good stuff. The fingers-to-the-face business (harkening to the biting incident in game 1) is hilarious.

Did I say, Boston will have Duck boat party after game 6? Heather, I know you still have some Baston on you

Yup! Have to say I haven't been watching this one. My neighbor at work says he's rooting against the Bruins because Boston wins too much - Bah, never! Definitely rooting for us, long distance!
