NHL 2011-12 Season

[BillD1984]

The GREAT news: EVERY playoff game will be nationally televised this year on either NBC, NBC Sports Network, NHL Network or CNBC. This means four games a night for the opening round.

The BAD news: my Bruins will be watching on TV after the first round.

This is good news.

The Wings have looked out-of-sync since Datsyuk went on the DL. Let's hope they will return to playoff form now that Pavel has returned to the lineup. I'll be watching the Capitals-Wings game this evening.

Too bad the Bruins can't play Toronto every night. The B's completed a season sweep with an 8-0 rout of the Leafs last night.

The Bruins went 6-0-0 against the Leafs, outscoring them 38-10.

The Leafs have not been a playoff team since Shaq and Kobe were still Laker teammates.

It's been a while.

Another good win for the Pens.

Nice to see the Wings vs Rangers on NBCSN this evening. It's a shame these two original six teams don't play more often.

BTW, who here DIDN'T have this bad boy in the '60s/'70s...

Very good chance they could be meeting up to seven more times come June.

I had a few, I also have the version with the bubble on it.
We quit using it as we couldn't find anywhere to get replacement parts.

Been sitting in the basement for about 10 years now.

Back then you worked up a sweat playing video games like tabletop hockey, foosball, table tennis, pinball, etc. Heck, I used to jump and down and walk the walls while playing pinball. The best games were those you could shake violently without tilting.

Speaking of the Original Six, those teams have been on quite a roll recently.

The Red Wings success speaks for itself, the Blackhawks and Bruins have both ended long Stanley Cup droughts the last two years, and the Rangers look poised to make their own run for Lord Stanley's Cup this spring. I guess we have to look out for the Canadiens and Maple Leafs the next few years.

As much as I didn't like the Maple Leafs when I was younger (nasty rivalry for years with the Red Wings), I would certainly like to see them and Montreal return to top form.

We even had those down in hockey-free Louisiana! One year my friends and I put together a little league. I had the Bruins and the Sabres. We could switch the players with ones that had the actual team colors and logos. I think my Sabres finished second and my Bruins finished 4th. I had a wicked push and twist shot.

If you want to get rid of it to free up some space please let me know. I would buy it from you and drive the 2 hours to come and pick it up.

Really ?

I'll check with the household that it currently is in, doesn't get used anymore.

Your right, pretty much taking up space ....

If it is the one that I am thinking of then yes. Of course it would depend on the price tag that is put on it.

I'll give you a bit of the details that I can think of, it's the one that sits on it's own legs, probably 3ft legs, the cabinet is about maybe 10" I'm thinking and the bubble over top of it, the scoreboard is in the dome and uses a few AA batteries if I remember correctly.

Thank goodness Datsyuk AND Lidstrom are finally back for the Red Wings. Hopefully they can get their lines back in order.
