Blackhawks are bludgeoning the oilers.

Yea, game's been ugly... Edmonton doesn't do D.

Im seeing more and more talk of expansion.

Expansion on board of governors agenda, but don't expect anything big - Cross Checks Blog - ESPN

I think they need to just relocate FL Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes, and maybe even the Coyotes before they bring in 4 new franchises.

Nooo!!! Only for selfish reasons. The Hurricanes are the only way I'll ever be able to see the Blackhawks in person...

 

[KPENN]

Nobody is going to relocate.

What do you guys think of the Seidenberg hit on Toews?

 

[IrishinSyria]

What do you guys think of the Seidenberg hit on Toews?

Close call, I think it was worth a fine or suspension but Seidenberg's not really a goon so I see why they gave him the benefit of the doubt. Kind of looked like he sort of was trying to get around him and play the puck...certainly could have been worse.

 

[KPENN]

I thought it was a good no suspension. I don't think it was malicious or anything, just Toews falling awkwardly.

 

[IrishinSyria]

It looks like he sees back and follows through anyway to me. I don't know what the league saw.

 

[blueNDgold44]

Yeah, should've at least been a fine IMO. Heard Seidenberg waited outside the Hawks locker room to apologize after the game though which is always a good thing to hear.

Crosby has the mumps, ya don't say?

 

[KPENN]

Well the Flyers are bad, at least Voracek and Giroux are fun to watch.

What do you guys think of the All Star voting? Hawks 5 out of top 6 is absurd. Also didn't realize this will be the 1st All Star weekend in 3 years

What do non-Rangers think of the Rangers? We've won 11 of 12 including wins vPitt, v. Washington, @ Vancouver @LA & @Anaheim

rangers are hot, takes a good team to win back to back games in California. I wish the Preds did that last week

Wow.

I think they are the best team in the Metro and it's really hard to argue them being the best team in the east.

Not NHL but....

Kaner's 200th and Teuvo's 2nd! Hawks are playing great tonight, good to see after the mini slump they've been in.

Flyers softened the pens up a bit for tomorrow night.

Anyone watching the All Star draft? Pretty funny, cool to see the guys off ice personalities.

Also helped the boys were throwing back a few too. Ovechkin was great.

He just wasn't producing. I was surprised and sad to see him go, but it was bound to happen to someone. Kings are really deep at center. It could really become a cap issue because the Kings chose not to use their compliance buyout on him this summer.

I don't get why they didn't over the summer. He had his moments in Philly but ever since his career year in 08-09 he has been declining since.

He was pretty clutch in the '12 Cup run and then in the lockout shortened '13 season. Last year he kind of disappeared and this year he has been plain awful. An 18 point swing in plus minus tells a huge story.
