NHL Season 2006/2007

Wären solche Absprache erlaubt?

wieso nicht? die isles waren sich ja im klaren, dass sie einen mann holen der am ende der saison ufa ist. sie können dafür jetzt probieren ihn gleich länger zu halten.

[themanwho]

Sabres & Preds gewinnen, Tampa bekommt eines über den Schädel von den Panthers, Smyth erzielt sein erstes Tor für die Isles bei einem 6-2 Sieg bei den Caps.

[pheips]

Rein theoretisch: Wenn sich die Oilers mit Smyth ausgemacht haben, dass sie ihn in der Offseason um ... $ verpflichten und sich beide einig sind wirft das imho wieder ein ganz anderes Licht auf den Trade: Oilers würden Smyth für ~20 Spiele hergeben, wobei die Chancen auf die Playoffs sowieso schon schwindend gering waren und bekommen ihn nächste Saison wieder zurück - plus Nilsson, O'Marra und den 1st Rounder. Quasi ein 'Opfer' das Smyth bringt um den Oilers zu helfen - obwohls vllt gar kein Opfer ist: mit den Isles spielt er immerhin wahrscheinlich in den Playoffs.

Wären solche Absprache erlaubt?

Genau so letzte Saison mit Recchi geschehen. Weshalb ich wie gesagt den Trade von Smyth auch halb so schlimm finde.

Aber auch nur deswegen, weil "dein" Club von Recchi profitiert hat, hehe.

"Halb so schlimm" hab ich eigentlich anders gemeint

Es ist halb so schlimm für die Oilers, dass Smyth sie verlassen hat, weil man eh schon bald die Moeglichkeit hat ihn wiederzugewinnen, falls man das nötige Geld dafür aufbringen will. So wars gemeint

Halb so schlimm. Playoffs sind eh kein Thema fuer die Oilers und wenn man sich Smyth leisten kann, dann kann man ihm eh ein Angebot in der Off-Season machen, weil meines Wissens Free Agent. Koennte sich also sogar als Steal herausstellen

PITTSBURGH (AP) -The Penguins moved a step closer to leaving Pittsburgh, declaring on Monday an impasse in their new arena negotiations with state and local leaders and saying they will actively pursue relocation.

The breakdown in arena talks came only three days after Gov. Ed Rendell said he felt an agreement was close. It also increases the possibility the Penguins will be playing in Kansas City next season.

"We have made a single-minded effort to bring this new arena to a successful conclusion and keep the team in Pittsburgh," owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle said in a letter to Rendell and local government officials. "... Our good-faith efforts have not produced a deal, however, and have only added more anxiety to what we thought at best was a risky proposition for us moving forward."

In the letter, Lemieux and Burkle put the blame for the impasse on government officials, arguing they agreed to pay $120 million over 30 years to help build a $290 million arena and cover construction cost overruns, yet still have not reached a deal.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman became involved in the talks several weeks ago, but also has been unable to finalize an agreement.

"We can do no more," Lemieux, the longtime Penguins star, and Burkle said in the letter.

The Penguins had an agreement with Isle of Capri Casinos to build the arena at no expense to the team or taxpayers in exchange for a license to build a Pittsburgh slots casino, but a state board in December chose a competing bid.

On Jan. 4, the team, state, city and Allegheny County began negotiating an alternate arena funding plan. At the time, government officials were asking for the team to contribute about $4.1 million per year, but lowered that to $2.8 million during the first round of negotiations.

During subsequent talks, the Penguins agreed to up that annual contribution to $3.6 million, plus $400,000 in operating expenses, after the state said there was a funding shortfall. However, the two sides still could not close a deal.

Kansas City has offered its nearly completed Sprint Center to the Penguins rent-free. The Penguins would also gain revenue from development projects around the arena.

However, the Penguins would be leaving one of the NHL's strongest U.S. markets for a smaller one that lost an NHL team in 1976 after only two seasons because of lack of support. The Penguins' home attendance and local TV ratings are among the strongest of the 24 United States-based franchises.

When Lemieux's group bought the team in federal bankruptcy court in 1999, the Hall of Fame player said he did so to ensure the team's existence in Pittsburgh.

The Penguins' hardball negotiating stance comes with the team contending for a playoff spot for the first time in six years. A youthful team led by NHL scoring leader Sidney Crosby and rookies Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Staal has become one of the league's prime attendance draws.

At home, the Penguins are playing to nearly 96 percent of arena capacity for the season. All of their remaining nine home games are expected to attract standing-room-only crowds.

The Penguins also have begun selling season tickets for the 2007-08 season in Pittsburgh, even though they have not agreed to play there another season.

"They're tough negotiators," Rendell said.

Original Six playoff scramble

Habs, Leafs, Rangers and Bruins all gunning for a playoff berth in the East

MONTREAL - The NHL’s Original Six have certainly seen it all over the years since the NHL opened for business in 1917-18. But the Canadiens, Maple Leafs, Bruins, Rangers and Blackhawks are about to make history for the wrong reasons unless one or more them ends up cracking the postseason in hurry.

Never. That’s how often only one Original Six club has made the playoffs since the league first expanded in 1967-68. As things stand today, only the Red Wings own a playoff spot and know where they will be once the regular season ends on April 8. With the Blackhawks as the lone team without any chance of reaching the postseason in 2006-07, the Canadiens, Bruins, Leafs and Rangers are in a logjam battling for the precious few playoff berths still available in the East.

Even if only one more team joins the Red Wings in the postseason party it would mark just the third time a pair of Original Six teams qualified. The first time it happened was in 1999-00, when only the Red Wings and Maple Leafs made reached the playoffs. The rare instance also occurred the following season, when the same two teams were the only ones still playing in the spring.

All Original Six teams made the playoffs only three times: in 1977-78, 1986-87 and 1993-94.

Here is a breakdown by season of the number of Original Six teams to have made into the playoffs at the same time.

Dass die Rangers hier kein Tor geschossen haben

http://www.nhl.com/video/app?component=%24...2&sp=SSaves

Hab das Spiel gesehn und die Rangers hätten mindestens 5-7 Tore schießen müssen. Allein Nylander und Prucha haben Chancen für 5 Spiele vergeben - beide mit insgesamt 11 Torschüssen oder so.

bei Interesse poste ich die hier.

Als Alternative zu Comcast sicher fein.
