It’s always only 10 games against the Western Conference though.
8 games against every team in the division = 32 games
4 games against each team in the Atlantic and Southeast= 40 games
That leaves only 10 games for the Western Conference. There was some talk about having each team play every team in the league at least once, but that probably won’t happen for at least a couple years. That’d be badass though.

Crosby averages 3.7 million a season. RFA after the upcoming season.
Ovechkin averages 3.8 million a season. RFA after the upcoming season.
Both will recieve substantial raises.

i just imported the sabres schedule into my outlook at work, saweet

^ He’s one player I can honestly say is worth that money. (Crosby)
[/quote]
I agree. Plus Crosby’s deal is making me feel a whole lot better about Vanek’s contract. If Vanek is making 7mil/season, and CrosbyTheGreat is only making $3.5, there’s something definitely wrong.
Oilers sign Sheldon Souray; no details posted yet.

A few quotes from some Oilers fans

I hope not…

[quote=“Oilbleeder”"]
Oh Hell no, just when i thought the defence was looking more capable, we go out and sign this guy. :banghead:
[/quote]
[quote=“Master Lok”"]
Well if it’s true, the Oilers are built backwards. The defense would be expected to score the goals, while we have forwards who are expected to be defensive.
hahaha… sigh.

[quote=“Oilerfan_55"”]
Ah man… THis is the ONE guy out of all the UFA’s who I said I would never want to come to Edmonton…
Is it possible for Souray to make a positive contribution to this team??? How many Powerplay goals/points would he have to score in order to neutralize his horrible 5 on 5 play?
Darnit Lowe… Why did you have to be the sucker who pays for this guy after a career season…
[/quote]
But to be fair, there were a decent amount of fans excited to have him on the team.

i’m sure they wanted someone to replace jason smith, they are quite opposite as far as playing style goes. in our system tho, he would have fit in perfectly. but whatever its moot now, as he will never be in a sabres uniform anyways
That is going to be so effing fun. The atmosphere there will be nuts; I can’t wait.

It is gonna blow the rest of the NHL away as far as one single game goes. I can’t wait to see this.
