On Frozen Blog Em congelados Blog

What would a band of hockey bloggers be without predictions for the new NHL season? O que seria uma banda de hóquei blogueiros ser sem previsões para a nova temporada NHL?

We don’t claim to possess either a crystal ball or spy’s eyes inside the training camps of 29 other clubs, but we thought it might be helpful to our readers to compile a list of offseason (and late last season) player movement, in a concise file, and have a little fun offering up none-too-accountable “Thumbs Up” or “Thumbs Down” forecasts for all 30 teams. Nós não pretendem possuir quer um cristal bola ou espião do olho dentro da formação campos de 29 outros clubes, mas achei que poderia ser útil para os nossos leitores para compilar uma lista de offseason (tarde e última temporada) jogador circulação, Em um arquivo concisa, e ter um pouco de diversão oferecendo nenhum - também - responsável "polegares Up" ou "Down polegares" previsões para todas as 30 equipes.

Basically, a team earned a “Thumbs up” if we thought its manuevering and maturation suggested that it’d improved upon its 2006-07 points total. Basicamente, uma equipe ganhou um "polegares cima", se achamos que a sua manuevering e maturação sugerido que deseja melhorar a sua 2006-07 pontos totais. Clubs that “stayed pat” or engineered boneheaded signings and/or inexplicable, high-end free agent farewells were awarded “Thumbs down.” Clubes que "suspendeu pad" ou engenharia boneheaded signings e / ou inexplicáveis, alto - final livre agente despedidas foram adjudicados "polegares para baixo".

So we’ve provided everything “primer” a puckhead could need here. Então, nós fornecemos tudo "Primário" um puckhead poderia precisar aqui.

Except the beer. Exceto a cerveja.

Kudos to the Dallas Stars’ marketing department for this clever billboard-based dig at the NBA’s referee scandal: Kudos para o Dallas Stars' departamento de comercialização para este painel inteligente baseado em escavações na NBA's árbitro escândalo:

So as you may have read, Steve Yzerman was slated to play in this game. Então, como você já deve ter lido, Steve Yzerman foi slated a desempenhar neste jogo. He did not attend, however, though he was in Moscow and later appeared at the post-game press conference when Canada won the gold medal.Since the World Stars team already had an Yzerman jersey ready, a Greek player (whose name was unannounced) decided to take the ice in Yzerman’s place and in his jersey as well, since Yzerman was slated to wear #91 (the reverse of his traditional #19).
