Fun article on NHL.com: NHL.com - 2009 NHL Offseason News: Who's on the hot seat in the East? - 07/22/2009

Some of my favorites

Quote:

Martin Brodeur, New Jersey -- The all-time wins leader in NHL history saw his season end with a thud last April when Carolina scored twice in the final 80 seconds of Game 7 to bounce the Devils out of the first round. Brodeur is coming off a season in which he missed 50 games with a elbow injury -- the first serious injury of his career. At 37 -- and without a proven backup -- he'll be expected to carry the load for a team that has a new coach (Jacques Lemaire) and will look a lot different after the loss of some key veterans to free agency.

Quote:

John Tavares, New York Islanders -- Tavares went home to Ontario last week after rookie camp for his final few weeks as a kid. When he shows up at the Islanders' training camp in September, he'll be under a microscope from the first time he steps on the ice. Like Sidney Crosby, Tavares was a sensation in junior hockey; he's also coming to the team that finished last in the overall standings last season and struggled to score. Long Island fans are hoping he's the player who can be the linchpin of the franchise's revival, on and off the ice. He may become that player -- but expecting him to get the Isles anywhere near the playoffs this spring is asking a lot.

Quote:

Ray Emery, Philadelphia -- The Flyers have one of the NHL's best offenses and a defense that now includes Chris Pronger. What they don't have is a proven No. 1 NHL goaltender -- unless Emery proves he can handle the job. Emery led Ottawa to the Stanley Cup Final just two years ago, but little has gone right for him since. He's returning to the NHL after a season in Russia during which he made the All-Star Game. If he can't handle the job, the cap-strapped Flyers could see their dreams of a long playoff run go sailing away.

Quote:

Jose Theodore/Simeon Varlamov/Michal Neuvirth, Washington -- With Alex Ovechkin leading one of the NHL's most-dynamic offenses, the Caps don't need their goaltenders to be the hero on most nights -- but they do need someone who makes the saves that need to be made. Theodore was adequate for most of the regular season, but Varlamov took the starting job in the playoffs and Neuvirth led Hershey to the AHL title. One of the three needs to stand up and take charge if the Caps are going to get further than the second round of the playoffs.

This thread is in its infancy, but I'm going on record right here and now that this season's thread is gonna need a "2nd period" addendum.

Calling on purse-lovin' hockey fans! I'm not the only one who goes to games carrying my LV Speedy and rockin Prada boots....or am I, LOL.

RaeBelle · Jul 22nd, 2009, 10:15 PM

Considering we're at almost 50 posts in under 3 hours and the season is still more than 2 months away, we'll need at least a second thread

I normally wear sneakers to the game (I always step in beer, yuck). But the last time we went, I carried my cute little L.A.M.B. Cheetah Morant. Here it is helping me unpack a bag (I was doing a reveal)

I think we're going to need a third period, overtime, and shootout thread too!

I have a small Coach demi that I have had for about 5 years that I take to hockey games (and other sporting events).
