This could be the season where every Canadian team makes it into the playoffs except Winnipeg.

Vancouver n Calgary have picked it up after a slow start.

Ottawa is right there in the mix

Toronto and Edmonton after years of gloom n doom are both playing well

Mtl seems to not have to rely on price to win with Montoya as a solid back up.

I'm hoping mcd gets the art n hart. Mathews should get the Calder if he stays healthy.

Is that season ticket holder pricing or face value pricing. I know many ppl complain about ticket prices for the oilers. But really a season ticket in the lower bowl between the blue line is $175 but face value is $350. Parking ranges from $12-30 depending on how close or how far. I park for free behind a business not that far away from the arena and just walk.
Food prices. Hamburger fries and pop is about $27. A bottle of Gatorade is $7.50

These prices are in cnd. And could be off a few dollars.

I read a lot of the pro players blogs. the thing when it comes to hockey. The Canadian mentally isn't about beating the USA. Losing to the USA isn't the main disappointment. Each time Canada takes to ice in hockey. There is only 1 acceptable outcome and that is gold. Not achieving gold is biggest disappointment

When they don't win gold. They feel they let down and have failed the country.

U guys don't need a high draft. U guys can pick 30th and still get the diamonds in the rough. What really changed the NHL was when you guys got lidstrom. Not only was he a cornerstone for Detroit as a franchise. But he made the NHL bigger in Sweden. All of sudden. They were showing more NHL on tv and Swedish kids were all wanting to be like Lidstrom

Dubnyk for the vezina !!!

When he was in Edmonton and had a tough year. I told my friends give him some time and he will bounce back because he got married over the summer and he won't be in game shape for a bit. Unfortunately. It took him a lot longer to bounce back. He was almost out of NHL job. But he bounced back great. Glad he is playing great for u guys.

NHL all star weekend is here!!!

What do u guys think about the skills competition,the jerseys and the game itself?

Hmm. Interesting take on it.

I actually like how things are now vs the last 10 years. Seeing mike smith making that shot was crazy. I would like to see goalies partake in the accuracy shooting competition and having the dmen do a hard backwards skating stickhandling competition

As for the game itself. I like the 3 on 3 mini tourney format. At least there is a reason to try to win and brings out more competition amongst the team. Instead of a non defense all out slick passing plays on offense

I think it was awesome to see all those great players in one place.

Yes n no to no hitting for minor league hockey
There are kids that once hitting is allowed. All they do is try to lay a massive hit on someone. (Goon) but with that being said. That makes all the other kids better. They learn to keep the head to see the entire ice and make better plays.

The one area of improvement in hockey helmets I would like to see change is an expire date on helmets. Currently as long as the helmet isnt visibly damaged. The helmet is regarded as safe. So a 1981 cooper xlr7 could be stilled worn contact hockey.
