NHL All Star Game

I think it's a pretty cool idea..it ends up being a pond hockey game anyway, so why not start it out that way. I don't think it will draw any larger TV audience, but as a hockey fan I think it works.

I agree. Anything is better than the old format. They shouldn't let the fans vote at all, four Penguins is ridiculous. Malkin shouldn't be in the game let alone voted in.

I noticed that Lidstrom is a "captain." I'd imagine his team will need a healthy supply of ensure.

Okay, I know nothing about hockey. I was just at Atlantis and did two future bets just for the heck of it. I did read the standings before making the bets. I got Dallas at 50-1 and Boston bruins at 15-1. Does either team have a realistic shot?

Btw, the futures odds at Atlantis are really screwed. Someone that knows what they are doing could make a nice score. The spurs were 12-1.

Dallas could be 500-1 and I wouldn't touch them...Bruins are probably third or fourth best in the East, but have 2 good goalies that could carry them far...but 15-1 seems a bit low.

I agree with Doc. The Stars are in deep in the Western Conference and the Bruins are offensively challenged. If Goalie Tim Thomas( probably the best goalie in the leauge so far this year) gets hot he could win a few series but I doubt they can win the cup.

thanks guys. I wanted to bet the caps but the odds were too low at 6-1.

That sucks, not sure how the NHL thinks a team will stick in Winnipeg when it couldn't before. I mean how the hell does a Canadian city lose a hockey team? That being said, putting a team back in Atlanta after the Flames left in the first place wasn't the sharpest move either. While I feel for Atlanta, I'm glad it wasn't Phoenix.
