emptynet Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 (edited) They have a countdown to the NHL season opener...I find it funny that the Devils have a PRE-SEASON game on Saturday the 29th but according to ESPN some teams will start the 07-08 season that day... Can they get any worse... Season starts Saturday???? Edited September 27, 2007 by emptynet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season starts Saturday???? That's because it does. The Anaheim-LA 2-game London series starts that day. Those are both regular season games.

At least according to NHL.com, that's what I read. edit: beaten Edited September 27, 2007 by CADevilsFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And only the NHL would sent two WEST COAST teams to play in LONDON. 6,000 miles each way to play two regular season games. Brilliant.

MantaRay Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Your just learning NOW that ESPN is a joke. I am always trying too get rid of it on my cable package after the last NFL game. Its otherwise useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get me started that..... I knew about the over seas's cheerie-o london game but I didnt think they would start it before the actual Candian/American start to the season....my following of the NHL has been lax so far....95 hour work weeks will do that to you Edited September 27, 2007 by emptynet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threestars Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 The whole thing is a marketing ploy (which seems to have worked out very well, and I humbly eat my comments about it, I was very wrong) by the group that owns the Kings. The own the O2 (millennium dome) too, and this is kinda it's launch. That is the reason it is the kings, and that is the reason it is in London. I'd imagine the reason it is the Ducks playing is probably to do with LA blackmailing the Ducks since they let them have a team on the LA turf. IT IS ALL JUST MARKETING. Both games have sold out. Thousands of people from across Europe are going, mainly because the organisers were clever, they sold a hotel package along with the tickets.

MadDog2020 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Yeah the thousands of people that are going to both sold out games dont agree with you so F U. You totally missed the point. Does it make more sense to send a couple of EAST COAST teams like the Rangers and Bruins for example, to London or two WEST COAST teams that have to fly across the US AND THEN across the Atlantic? So FU. Read the post next time before getting so defensive. Hey why not... you already had given away another home game to COWBOY NATION in Week 2 Sadly, there is nothing I can say to refute this. Although it was great when Jason Taylor ripped that Cowboys banner down and threw it on the ground and then told the mouthy Cowboy fans who hung it to fvck off.

LOL, Check the NFL Week 4 thread bro- with my luck, Culpepper will torch us this weekend for 300 yards and 4 TD's. I'm actually headed down to Miami for the game with a couple of friends who are big Raider fans. I'm preparing for another week of misery. If we can't win this game, I don't know which game we're winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
