Thread: NHL 2011-12 Season

Another shot to the Jackets happened last night in a game against the LA Kings. At the end of the game the Kings scored with .4 seconds left on the clock. After further review after the game was over it was found that the official game clock had a "glitch" or human error and paused at 1.8 seconds for a good second. The league is not investigating the incident but this just shows that even in a year that nothing has gone right it can get even worse.

Now this has nothing that will effect the Jackets but I sure hope that the Kings don't stop another team from making the playoffs by a single point.

I noticed the Bruins have been on a bit of slide lately. No big deal at this point...but what's going on in Bean Town?

Wings need to get Jimmy Howard back, who is out for a couple weeks due to a finger injury. Howard has quiety become one of the best goalies in the league.

Yes, Unfortunately I can see the Wings long winning streak at home coming to an end.

Currently at 17 games, I thought I had read the record was 20 straight wins at home.

Wings getting to face-off shortly at home against Anaheim. Hopefully we can get a decent performance out of Conklin or MacDonald this evening. We shall see. Oh, and Michigan will be facing-off at the Michigan State Spitoonies. Go Wings! Go Wolverines!

Next year's Winter Classic will set an attendance record in excess of 115,000 fans. We all knew this was coming.

The Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs will began 2013 by renewing their rivalry at one of North America's most iconic stadiums.

The two Original Six foes will play in the Winter Classic on Jan. 1 at Michigan Stadium, part of an outdoor showcase that will also include minor league and college hockey games at Detroit's Comerica Park.

Toronto will become the first Canadian team to play in the Winter Classic when the Maple Leafs and Red Wings face off in Ann Arbor, about 45 miles west of Detroit.

"It's Hockeytown versus the center of the hockey universe," Toronto general manager Brian Burke said.

If the winter classic does well in Michigan than maybe they will have one at beaver stadium with a game between the pens and flyers.

I'm almost 100% positive the next Winter Classic will be in Canada...most likely Montreal or Ottawa.

Nice to see the team of Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond (Fox Sports Detroit) calling the game on NHL Network. Where else can you hear comments about wearing underwear inside-out during an extended roadtrip. Plus, all that honest, accurate, no-holds commentary.
