Well the good thing about Chicago winning the cup for the St. Louis area is it will come here some time. Unless I have been told wrong the cup goes on a tour to all the home towns for the players after it leaves the winning city. Chicago has a player from St. Charles MO so I don't know if it will go to St. Charles or St. Louis, but it will make a stop in the area. Or have I been told wrong and they don't do this with the cup?I really enjoyed the series even though I'm a Blues fan.
It kind of sucks that the season had to end the way it did for the Boston goaltender, but those things just happen sometimes.
I just saw a headline that pretty much says they will be staying.Has anything been said yet about Phoenix? Last I knew they were to talk Tuesday about if the team was going to stay or not. I haven't heard anything since.
I'll miss him but we needed to get out of that contract. He'll probably flop for the Flyers. The Lightning signed Filppula to a 5yr deal to replace Vinny. They also signed their 1st round pickGood Bye Vinny!! So damn happy to see you gone!
Maybe...but I feel like that kind of thing is always hard to measure. To me, if they work hard, they're worth it. I've seen many players get paid to do absolutely nothing. I'd rather pay a hard worker a little extra than pay a primadonna to underachieve (which I'm hoping they didn't do with Weber...but he needs to have a bounce back season). The key thing is getting the right guys. And like I said, I'm just encouraged that they're going after players, rather than just hoping that someone on the AHL club will be ready.Solid names, but seems like they paid each more than I would have expected?
That's interesting. I didn't know they were doing this. Not sure how much it will actually accomplish, as the article pointed out that it could possibly anger some Preds fans and that Blackhawks fans could just buy the extra ticket and resell it anyway. I think it would make more sense to just raise the prices for those games with the exception of tickets bought at the box office. This would inconvenience the fans slightly by having to go to Bridgestone to get their tickets...but for a game against Chicago, many might feel it's worth the extra effort. But I guess if they're confident that those games are going to sell out regardless, ensuring that there are more Preds fans than Hawks fans in the arena is the main objective.I'm sure most have seen this by now, but I thought I would post it. Seems like it will be a little harder for Chicago fans to get tickets to a game against Nashville in Nashville. Or it is going to cost them a little more.

As a St. Louis fan I like this idea and wish St. Louis would do the same. Chicago is only 4 hours away so it isn't that long of a drive for them to come here also.
