An NHL version of "Which is more likely (#2)" ?

1) An increase in American born players.......24 years in a row it has increased

2) Eric Lindros'

3) Gretzky is a strong candidate this year, and Messier has no visions of coaching (He wants to be a GM right away)

4) I think we've seen the last of the dynasties

5) Jarome Iginla ring a bell? Side note: You really need to move to Canada ;)

6) I'm going with the signing

7) Neither are coming back

8) ESPN, I think FOX sunk their boat

9) A lawyer. All 4 major sports are dead set against having former players as commissioners

10) Neither...................Crosby's a special player

1. Increase in American-born players

2. Eric Lindros, although I like Pavel Bure a lot more.

3. Mark Messier becoming a head coach

4. A new Stanley Cup winner every season

5. African-American NHL superstar

6. Free-agent signing of a recent Hart Trophy winner

7. The return of ties

8. ESPN

9. Former player as NHL commissioner

10. With all the young talent these days, probably a teenaged NHL captain.

1. An increase in American born palyers.

2. Eric Lindros'

3. Gretzky winning the Jack Adams.

4. A new winner every season, with a back to back here and there, possibly this season.

5. I think Jerome Iginla holds the distinction of an African-American (Canadian) super star.

6. Free agent signing.

7. The return of ties, although I see both being very unlikely.

8. Fox. To an extent it is, just not nationally.

9. A lawyer most likely, possibly a former player turned lawyer.

10. probably the teenaged captain.

1. Increase of american born players

2. Pavel Bure's

3. Mark Messier being a head coach

4. New Stanley Cup Winner

5. Superstar

6. Signing

7. Extended overtime

8. Fox

9. Lawyer

10. A teenage Captain look at Crosby

1. Increase of American players. There is already a large portion of non North American's in certain teams. Detroit for example, has a lot of Swedish players.

2. Both are likely

3. Messier becoming head coach.

4. Seems like it will be a new Stanly cup Champion every year for a while longer.

5. Head coach. Iginla is already a superstar.

6. Free Agent signing.

7. Ties. Games might go on forever if we had extended overtime in the regular season.

8. NHL to Fox, since about half the NHL teams are boradcasted by Fox Sports Net.

9. Both are likely.

10. Forty year old Captain. Remember Scott Mellanby of Atlanta?

1 Increase in AMerican born players

2 Pavel Bure

3 Gretzky winning Jack Adams

4 A dynasty

5 African American NHL super star

6 Free agent

7 Extended reg season OT

8 ESPN

9 Former player as NHL Commish

10 teeenaged newly named captian or at least a player who has only been in the league for a couple years

1. Increase of American Born players

2. Lindors will get their first, but I would rather see Pavel in there before him

3. I dont think either will happen to be honest.

4. With the parody going on in the league this year I would go with a new Cup winner every year.

5. African American superstar.

6. Well if a franchise knows they're about to lose someone big like that they would go for the trade instead of not getting anything out of him through free agency.

7. Say no to ties!

8. I would say ESPN

9. A player would be great

10. 40 year old without a doubt. It would be hard to a leader as the youngest one on the team with the littlest amount of experience.

1. Europeans are gonna take over hockey.

2. Pavel Bure

3. Mark Messier becoming a coach

4. NHL is based off parity- a new winner every season.

5. African-American coach

6. Blockbuster trade

7. Extended regular season overtime I wish would happen, but America doesn't care enough to televise it. Ties.

8. ESPN

9. Lawyer

10. Teenager, youth is "misunderestimated"

1. Increase in American Born Players

2. Neither

3. Wayne Gretzky winning the coach of the year trophy

4. A dynasty

5. African American Head Coach

6. A trade

7. Return of ties.

8. NHL on ESPN but who knows maybe CBS will get the NHL before ESPN does.

9. Past Athlete, P.S. Gary Bettman is a lawyer or he once was.

10. 40's something captain, such as Chris Chellos( I swear it seems he will never retire) LOL

1. Alexander Ovechkin with the Caps. 2. The Chi Hawks. 3. The United States playing for gold. I can't see Canada no in the race. 4. A foreign-born Conn Smythe winner. 5. Expansion <shudders>. 6. A Russian-born NHL head coach. I don't follow Russian leagues . . . sorry. 7. Marty Turco has talent. I would rather Martin Brodeur choke . . . during the playoffs. 8. Expansion of the playoff format. 9. Mandatory visors - although I think that is ridiculous. 10. Annual Winter Classic. All-Stars would be cool, though.
