official NHL 06-07 thread! (free agent signings updated on page 11)

Holy.....game four sucked for Ottawa. That hurts. They should have pulled this one out...but they just played horribly. All that embellishment/diving attracted bad karma. You want to win hockey games? You have to play hockey, not resort to dirty tricks. Refs will be smarter next game.

Alfredson was good in this game. Emory looked frazzled. The loss of Pronger didn't hurt the ducks one bit defensively - in fact, I thought they were better tonight on defense. Ottawa just needs to step it up - they got worked tonight.

Oh, and I want to rant about NBC. They suck. Oh my god, I can't stand listening to their play-by-play. Their HD feed looks OK (just OK, not great), and the volume of their announcers is jacked up beyond all reason...while the rink sound is turned way down. You can't hear the hits, skates, and sticks. They're idiots at NBC....I want Versus back.
 
I cant believe Alfredson shot that puck at Niedermayer at the end of the 2nd! All it did was fire up the Ducks. That was a stupid move in my opinion, and coming from their captain!

^^ ditto! i couldn't BELIEVE there wasn't some sort of penalty for that, it was so blatently obvious he wasn't shooting at the goal.

i fell asleep before that game was over, so i didn't know who won. that sux....i'm really, really pulling for ottawa. (big heately fan)
 
I think he just had to make a quick decision to clear the puck, and ended up hitting him. No big deal. Plus, Alfredson has been getting beat up for the entire series. Ducks have been gettting off pretty easy, I think.
 
The Ducks were the team to beat from the beginning of the season...and they showed why.

GODDAMNIT CANADA...how could you allow cities like Raleigh, Tampa Bay, and Anaheim steal the cup away from you?! Pitiful. :p
 
the Anaheim Migh... I'm sorry..... the Anaheim Ducks are the Stanley Cup champions.

Now excuse me while I vomit my gizzards out
 
im so glad the ducks beat the sens! ottawa wasnt a bad team by any means this season, but the ducks just had the fight in em. i had a GOOOOOOD feeling it was going to end like this (though i figured it would at LEAST go 6 games).

dude...that was EXACTLY how me and my husband felt with about 6 mins left!

even if there was a game 6, ottawa just didn't have the energy to give a good fight. the ducks were just all over it. congrats.

HAHAHAH I just laughed so hard at that..


But I have to admit, the ducks worked fucking HARD all season, and they showed it.
 
I wanted Ottawa to win, but congrats must go to the Ducks. Watching the interview with Selanne after the game, you have to feel good for him. He's a veteran...never won a cup, and he fought like hell for it. Pretty emotional moment. Nobody on the Ducks had ever won a cup except for Rob Niedermayer. They literally destroyed Ottawa and are currently the best hockey team, period.

The Rangers killed free agency.. Gomez and Drury. Nice.

Schneider to Anaheim makes me sad. But at least we got Rafalski to replace him.
 
the rangers DID kill. philly's been makin some good moves also, both with pick ups and trades. theyve acquired daniel briere, scotty hartnell, kimmo timonen, jason smith, and joffrey lupul. not a bad list.
 
I think the Pittsburgh Penguins faired well in the draft too. the days of Mario Lemuix and Jaromir Jagr are still in the minds of Pittsburgh hockey fans. hopefully those new guys can do something with the kid, but with his skill it's almost impossible not do be productive on offense.

thanks for the update axl!

yeah the pens didnt do too badly, they made a couple great pick ups in the free agency pool too with sykora and sydor. this team is going to be tough to beat next season. when you've got crosby, malkin, jordan staal, sykora, sydor, gary roberts, ryan whitney, and a pretty solid young goaltender in marc andre fleury, you dont really have a lot of reasons NOT to win.
