Yup. My wife is pregnant with twin boys. She's 6 months pregnant and just went to the doctor's office for an appointment today. Boy she and the boys got glowing reviews! Their heartbeats are very strong and they're already looking to be big boys. She had an ultrasound at 22 weeks and one baby was 1 lbs 5 oz so far and the other was 1 lbs 6 oz. The doctors are very pleased!

And no... they won't be Sedins. No red hair and they'll be much bigger. One of the baby magazines my wife was reading had some math formula to figure out approximately how tall your children will be as adults based on both parents' heights. Our boys should be 6'2" (74 inches) + or - 4 inches. So that means they'll probably be anywhere between 5'10" and 6'6". And most of the guys in my family are pretty stocky. So yeah, I'm figuring on them being big boys.

Yeah... way off topic! LOL! But I will be sure to let everyone know when they're born, which could be as early as December.

So how about those Bruins? 8-)

Nashville Predators make one-year-contract with Dave Scatchard, worth of 0,55 million dollars. :-o That's big surprise for me, cause Scathard played last time in NHL in 2006-2007 and scored 3+5 in 46 games. Next season he played in AHL and last season nonwhere. I really hope he can play well.

Detroit make one-year-conract with Brian May, worth of 0,5 million dollars.

Calgary traded Kyle Greentee to Chicago for Aaron Johnson.

I hope you don't mind me correcting you but in english you don't make a contract, you sign a contract

I also have to say that Brian May is a cool guy. Of topic I know.

Vancouver came out with a huge win finally. I would like to see them keep it up.

Of course Vancouver had a big win. They were playing against the Scabs and I have Price as one of my goalies on my fantasy team.

You really don't have alot of choice to pick Price. :-D


The whole team played an horrible game, some goal were really hot, Price is not to blame for the first one and the third one i think.....the other, i don't see them.

You complaining about your goalies B72? I could have sworn the score would be the other way around last night since I have Lebongo. But wow...the Habs......WERE BRUTAL LAST NIGHT. BRUTAL> BRUTAL BRUTAL.

All I can say is the Canucks performed some kind of smurficide ritual on them. But yeah...Price cannot take much heat for last night. That team was disgustingly bad.

At least Ward is doing okay for me... except for when the Canes played my B's. But that's more for the fantasy hockey thread.

I hope the B's crush the Ducks tonight! I'm hoping Lucic scores to celebrate his new contract. I'm sure the kid is going to be all fired up and ready to play. I'm just glad there's a game finally. It just seems like the schedule is pretty slow early this season. The Bruins haven't played since Saturday and every night my fantasy team seems to have no more than a couple players with game, except for once or twice a week when it seems like everyone has a game. I thought this season's schedule was supposed to be condensed because of the Olympics?

Blackhawks - Red Wings 2-3 :(

'Hawks should have scored on those two great chances they got in the second period.

Chris Chelios goes to AHL. :-o His new team is Chicago Wolfes. :thup: It's nice that he continues his career and in Chicago, where he played his best games. =D> But i really hope that he plays well, and that Chicago wouldn't send him to ECHL or release him. :-k

That Bruins game was terrible! The B's looked awesome in the first period. They were really buzzing and they put a ton of shots on net but Hiller only let one by. Then Selanne's two 2nd period goals just killed them and they stunk the rest of the game. Not that it was all Tim Thomas' fault but it looks like Rask will be in net on Saturday.

I think it's good to both Bruins goalies, that Rask is in net on next game. Thomas maybe needs resting and Rask have now good place to show his skills cause last season he played only one game conceded zero goals. If Bruins had won all those games and Thomas's save percentage would been over 94%, i don't think Rask couldn't have had change to play. Maybe it's better that way. :-k

Hopefully Rask can keep his Shutout streak going. :thup:

The B's stank after the halfway mark yesterday, weren't the shots like 30-17 to Boston after 2 periods. Then the Ducks ruled the 3rd...

The Bruins really controlled play in the 1st. The shots were 19-11 after 1. The Ducks didn't get a ton of shots in the 2nd period but they scored 3 unanswered goals. Then they just dominated the 3rd. That 2nd period really deflated the Bruins.

I havent seen any Panthers fans on here. I just have to show some love for the canes actually playing a good game. Vokoun wasnt really on it from what I saw. (I have yet to see an entire canes game because of work. Its impossible to get a restaurant to show a hockey game over the yankees in North Carolina. I dont understand.) anyway. 7-2. way to go. finally.

Johan Franzen is injured and he can play next time in february :-(

Christian Bäckman goes to Frölunda Indians, so his NHL-career is maybe over. But his not so old that he can't play in NHL, maybe he plays in NHL again some day if he plays well in Sweden.

Radek Smolanek goes to Lightning, again. Bolts picked him from waivers.
