2013-14 NHL thread

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Starting the annual NHL thread again. Cant wait for the puck to drop tonight. Should be interesting with the new division alignment. Looking at the division there is no reason why the Hawks shouldnt come in first.

[swoopem]

As a Wings fan I'm going to miss the Wings-Hawks rivalry but being in a division with 3 other original 6 teams ain't that bad.

See you boys in the Cup

Time to drop the burnt biscuit! Let's go Wild!

Rejuvenated Heatley + Granlund's arrival = CONSENSUS!

[Warrior Code]

Raising a banner + opening night victory = satisfied Hawks fan. So glad hockey is back.

NHL???  Don't you guys know it's an Olympic year?  Hockey is about to get real in a few months.

You will never see a Minnesota Stanley Cup in your lifetime.

With NHL players?

Seeing as how Minnesota's team is in Dallas, you're probably on the right track.

Actually the NorthStars did win a Cup in Dallas.  Just like Brian Billick and Mike Tomlin after they left MN.

Just like the Browns have won a couple of Super Bowls since they left Cleveland.

I stopped caring about the NHL in 1997 when the Whalers did the disgraceful act of moving south. 
Olympic hockey is great and I've been following college hockey.  2013 was a boon for local college hockey.

I'm loving USA's chances this winter. Our roster is loaded with young talent.

Ever since I moved to MN I have loved watching college hockey.  Watch out for SCSU.

SCSU?

[Hards Alumni]

SCSU?

St. Cloud State University.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Around here that stands for Southern Connecticut State University.

Bolland and Frolik both with 2 goals in their games. I miss them already.

Frolik maybe.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Frolik maybe.

I have a soft spot for Bolly. Met him a few times, he gave me is game used hockey stick, have his jersey. One of my favorite players when he was on the Hawks. PK without Frolik looked dreadful...and of course who can forget "Frolik Navidad"

Fair enough, but I don't think they'll be terribly missed.

St. Cloud State University.

They made the Frozen Four last year.  Had the Hobey Baker winner, Drew LeBlanc, who is now playing in Rockford in the Hawks system.  They have even a better team this year.

I know who they are.  They have the cool Montreal Candiens type of logo.  I watched, one of my local teams, Quinnipac blow them out in the Frozen Four.  Quinnipiac had 11 seniors on that team.  Despite a few starters graduating, Yale returns a good portion of their NCAA Championship team although their starting goalie is among those who graduated.

College hockey has gotten turned upside down this year...at least in the midwest.  The Big Ten created a hockey conference from its six members that play college hockey (Wisc, Minn, Mich, MSU, PSU, OSU).  The best of the remaining teams created a new conference, the NCHC.  The remaining teams all joined up in the WCHA and the CCHA folded.

They did get blown out pretty good.

Looks like Minnesota has kept their in-state rivals on the schedule.  Wisconsin filled their schedule with lower level schools.

I am looking forward to hear the scores of the Penn St. Big 10 games this year.
