Balance - 1000 700 on buffalo

Only cause it's the home opener - 100 on buffalo.

185 on Detroit

I move back to Clarksville in January, I'm in for two tickets, price don't matter. PM or email me.

Nobody, I think I joined twice, please delete one.

USA! USA! USA! Current standings have Mexico in fifth, I think it would be awesome if they stayed there and don't qualify for the playoff with New Zealand. Anyone else watch the game last night? Very surprised with how well Beckerman played. Seemed like Mexico targeted fabian Johnson as the weak link and pressed him every time he touched the ball. Beasley looked solid on the left side. Eddie Johnson had a great game and his chemistry with Dempsey may keep him in the lineup over altidore. I wasn't impressed with jones, I thought he had a bad game.

I'm on the west coast now (Fort Lewis, WA), if possible I'd prefer a weekend as I'm still at work at eight o'clock eastern time. If not, no biggie.

I hope Jesse dies. I hate that they made him a rat.

I'm in for gold, haven't joined yet but I will, don't bump me.

I'm in. Don't have a league preference, if you need me in one to balance it out that's cool.

I find it interesting that Fran lists griffin and not Wilson. Personally, I think Wilson will have the better career, but who am I to argue with a hall of fame quarterback.

Perhaps. If expansion was done right I think it could work. The north west has about a half dozen jr A teams between Portland and the border, I believe teams in Portland and Seattle would thrive out here.

I think it might be an important step in hockey becoming more than a niche sport in our country. I don't understand how anyone who is a fan of hockey, not just the sabres, wouldn't want the sport to grow beyond what it currently is.

Hockey is a niche sport in america. Expanding the footprint will do more for future TV revenue than increased quality through contraction.

How is that a good thing in the big picture for the NHL? Assuming the definition of big picture is increased revenue through expanded TV coverage.

Move them to Quebec, award expansion teams to Seattle and Portland. I think developing a Vancouver-Seattle-Portland rivalry would be huge for the NHL and securing future TV deals.

I know the local guys touched on seattle getting an expansion team for the 14-15 season this morning. The talking heads out here on AM 750 have been talking about it all morning. If I understand things correctly, Stern didn't want to give them an NBA team until Seattle broke ground on a new arena, but the city council didn't want to break ground on a new arena until they were awarded an NBA team. Bettman supposedly wil put a team in Seattle for an expansion fee of $275M, to play the 14-15 season in Key Arena. Once the NHL team is awarded they'll break ground on a new arena, once they break ground on a new arena an NBA team is soon to follow. There's still some financial details to be ironed out between Hansen, the prospective NHL Owner and the city counsil. I would be surprised if there is not an NBA and NHL team in a new Seattle arena by 16-17. Where to put the 2nd expansion team? Obvious choice is Quebec and bump someone to the west. If the NHL dont want to do that though I think there's still some options. KC has a fairly new arena that could use a tennent. If you want a geographical rivalry for Dallas you could put a team in Houston or OKC. Portland is a possibility. And of course Vegas, I wouldnt mind the NHL being the guinny pig in that city.

No.

Damn right he's right!

Called the fans ridiculous for booing in the jersey game. How many of you mouse potatoes need some vagisil?

So do I get the first pick in next years draft?

Horrible trade for Columbus

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet, Dallas trades Roy to the Nucks and Jagr to the Bs Nevermind, I see it in the other thread... :doh:

My second team has been the Preds since they started. I don't watch anyone else until the playoffs, if there's a series with enough storyline to keep my interest.

Agreed. I saw absolutely nothing wrong with it. Good grief....
