how are the players allowed to play in the team facility if the lockout is still technically in place?
Possible. But far inferior competition as well. Someone that was primed to take a big step in the NHL would overcome having non-superstar linemates and probably still find a way to dominate lesser opponents. I'm not hating on Kreider. I think he's going to be a very good player with a strong role. I'm just saying it's easy to let your mind jump to conclusions when falling in love with his playoff performance last year. His struggles in the AHL lend themselves to him taking a step back this year more than they do him breaking out even further.
Aaron WardVerified @aaronward_nhl NHL teams have received their final 2013 Schedule earlier this morning. #TSN https://twitter.com/aaronward_nhl/status/289746167649161217
Sam Carchidi @BroadStBull NHL has changed sked format again. Teams will only play teams in same div. 4x. More details coming.
was "leaked" on twitter, it's a working version of the schedule and may not be final the final version. Here's the Flyer's leaked schedule (dated 1/9):
Larry Brooks @NYP_Brooksie Told that NYR, Del Zotto have agreement for 2 yrs around $2.55M per, yet to be signed. Matt Gilroy has also agreed to deal, believed for $650.
We actually made out very well with this schedule. Least back-to-backs and second least miles traveled. http://www.ontheforecheck.com/2013/...-miles-super-schedule-2013-back-to-back-games
If any of you are intersted, Chase presale for single game tickets go on sale tomorrow @10am. I think you just need to use a Chase card to buy the tickets. Wens @ 12pm the tickets go on sale to everyone else. Slattery in Midtown is having a Rangers party on Sunday starting at 2pm. 1st 250 people who get in there is free food and 3 dollar beers all night. For people who are watching the game there, they will be raffling off tickets to other home games, and 1st rangers goal is a shot for everyon wearing a rangers jersey/hat shirt whatever..
Gilroy has sucked ass as of late. From what I understand, he will only be used if someone is hurt. Don't remember, they traded Sauer? he's better then Gilroy IMO.
