In that case, I want him on the Canucks!

OSUJumpMan · August 2011

So there's another college hockey game scheduled to be outdoors next year. Ohio State and Michigan will play outside on Progressive Field in Cleveland on January 15th.

enlightenedbum · August 2011

It is a terrible, terrible idea. But at least it's at the Jake (shut up, insurance companies) and not Cleveland Browns stadium.

OSUJumpMan · August 2011

I'm not sure why you think it's a terrible idea, but could you explain?

And you're right it is and always will be the Jake. But I went for technical correctness (the best kind of correctness).

enlightenedbum · August 2011

I don't think it'll draw that well. Unless we all make the three hour drive from Ann Arbor.

OSUJumpMan · August 2011

I think it'll sell just fine. The IHL team in Cleveland never did too poorly for attendance. I'd imagine there'll be plenty of folks who want to watch a better quality hockey than they get from the catholic high schools in NE Ohio. Also, plenty of people will drive up from Columbus to watch. The spectacle of it also leads me to believe that it won't be hard to sell 30-40,000 tickets.

Looks like Steven Stamkos is on the cover of EA NHL 12.

Since, like, 8 months ago.

So, Brent Burns has a Harry Potter tatoo on his left leg. Great trade San Jose!

tofu · August 2011

He could have a lightning bolt tattooed to his forehead and I'd still want him on the Sharks

mr_mich · August 2011

I'm shocked at how much he makes.

Matrias · August 2011

so... Rick Rypien was found dead in his home today.

quovadis13 · August 2011

Yikes, that is awful news. Even worse is that early reports are that it was a suicide.....

Just a quick refresher, Rypien became infamous when he grabbed at a Wild fan in a blowout.

Jragghen · August 2011

So when do tickets usually go on sale? Not season, but individual games?

E: crap that sucks

Matrias · August 2011

I don't actually like fighting in the NHL, but I always loved watching Rypien beat the shit of guys who had 8 inches and 60 lbs on him.

edit: oh look at him go!

Sad to hear about Rypien

Corvus · August 2011

Oh jeez, I knew the guy was troubled with the year long leave of absence, but he'd signed with the Jets too.

quovadis13 · August 2011

The league just announced the national TV schedule for this year. Detroit at Boston gets the new Black Friday game on NBC

Jayricho · August 2011

So apparently NHL.com got REALLY bored and they decided to redraft the entire league and are going to play it out in NHL 12. Rosters at the link...

saint2e · August 2011

Way too much time on their hands, clearly.

quovadis13 · August 2011

How much do Canadians love hockey??

This much

AgentBryant · August 2011

JVR signs a 6 year deal--does this mean he's the next Flyer to get shipped out?

OSUJumpMan · August 2011

Only if he refuses to go to "Dry Island"

Burtletoy · August 2011

This made me laugh.

quovadis13 · August 2011

Okay, this is getting ridiculous now.

Wade Belak found dead in Toronto

It just keeps getting worse.

quovadis13 · September 2011

With less depressing news, the Red Wings just changed their logo.

This will be featured for basically any promotional image associated with the Wings now for the next 3 years.

Arivia · September 2011

wait

does that mean I can spend $10 to outfit the homeless with red wings sweaters or an extra $1 for red wings branded lipstick

i forget which is which

either way, I approve

enlightenedbum · September 2011

Man, if somebody hadn't died, there is no other way "less depressing news" could have preceded that.

Burtletoy · September 2011

The wing is...

slightly...

..different?

quovadis13 · September 2011

Oh.

That's part of the logo?

Wow.

I wouldn't consider slight alterations to the Winged Wheel to be "slightly less depressing than someone dying." Give me a little credit, Burtletoy!

I saw that awhile ago. I already want to fire Vancouver's re-draft GM.

Couldn't they have at least gone with Confederated Products?

Matrias · September 2011

Aren't the Red Wings admired for not selling out and keeping the Joe named as it is?

quovadis13 · September 2011

Winnipeg finally revealed their new jerseys

pass_or_fail_the_home_and_away_jerseys_for_the_winnipeg_jets.jpg

I like the navy blue colour, but they really arent anything spectacular at the same time.

Deadfall · September 2011

I think those are slick as hell.

Non-offensive, is about all they have going for it. The logo on the chest looks about a bland as can be. The colors are pretty subdued. Meh all around.

tofu · September 2011

Two shades of blue looks bad
