[duba169]

they ain't dressing the islanders as the knicks. $*%$ that noise

rangers rivalry would be even more intense though. would be crazy

 

[physicx]

[Bad Religion]

As long as they don't have an old fisherman on the front, they're winning.
Kesler will miss first bit of the season recovering from hip surgery.

All in all, Vancouver didn't/hasn't yet change/d alot, to which I am happy.

Per Puck Daddy, those 3rds are being considered by the Islanders.  Overall negative response

*Sean Avery got arrested this morning for shoving a cop at his house in LA.  Dude had a party and cops came...when he opened the door, he shoved the dude then slammed it shut.

Any of you ever get NHL Center Ice? Is it good? worth it? I'm thinking of getting it this year as my internet is too slow and makes streaming unbearable.

I was thinking of getting it myself, to stream old games on my PS3.  Don't know if it's worth it though. 
Those Islander 3rd's are horrid.   I hope it's just a concept for their sake.

I need an Avery jersey. gonna be getting into the rangers more with the NBA playing with my emotions.

[h2]Rangers' Avery arrested for battery on an officer[/h2]

By Brian Stubits

Rangers forward Sean Avery was arrested early Friday morning for battery on a peace officer and was taken to jail in the Los Angeles area. He has since posted bail of 20,000 and was released. Here is video of him leaving the jailhouse.

The story was first reported by TMZ.com.

Lt. Jorge Pardo told City News Service that a neighbor's noise complaint sent police to the home at around 1 a.m. Friday. Pardo said Avery answered the front door, shoved an officer and slammed the door but cooperated when officers knocked a second time.

The officer wasn't injured.

Good ol' Avery

 

[physicx]

Police confirm former Vancouver Canucks tough guy Rick Rypien has been found dead in his Alberta home. More to come.


RIP

RIP Rypien

One of my favourite players when he was with Moose, I was really looking forward to seeing him play for the Jets this season

 

[DeadsetAce]

RIP

[doublejs07]

Dude was pound for pound the best fighter in the NHL.

RIP

You got it twisted. If u got some down time, watch his fights from 09-10. It wasnt so much that he was undersized and would scrap w/ ANYONE, but he actually had technique. Dude was the goods. *BTW, I see ur boy Sidney Crosby might not be ready for the opening of the season. Still dealing w/ PCS. Really sucks for the league. As much as I hate the Pens, i hope he can get over this and get back on the ice.

Clearly you've never seen his fights, not only would he take on guys way bigger than him but he would beat them too (see his fight vs. Hal Gill)
He was one of the most entertaining guys to watch and his death is an absolute tragedy

 

[sosly]

Damn so random. RIP Rypien

 

[solemate96]

RIP Rick Rypien

On another note:

I hope Sidney Crosby comes back 100%. Please don't rush the kid because he is the NHL.

 

[dmxfury]

There is cautious optimism. Cautious

 

[newbs24]

Whats the deal with Shea Weber? Did he sign a deal yet or will he be an UFA? Hoping for the latter because with Lids more than likely gne after the Wings win the cup this year, he will retire and they need a replacement.

Maybe not the best example, Gil's a bum and can't fight

Real tragic news though, from reports it seemed like he was dealing with his depression.

I say the Pens just give Sid all the time he needs, if he has to miss this entire season then so be it.

The long run should be the focus in his case, 5 years down the line you don't want him hurting or whatever and not being the best player in the L.
