I know it's the off-season...
It seems like there should be more hockey talk on this particular board.
I was pretty surprised to see Sergei Fedorov sign with the Ducks. I could be wrong, but their cup run seemed like kind of a fluky one-time thing. Maybe he had other reasons ($) but it seems like he is leaving a better situation behind.
Lots of other action out west, particularly in Colorodo, signing Selanne and Kariya, yikes!

A lot of players are making moves like this or considering them, probably due to the Collective Bargaining Agreement for the NHL coming due to be re-newed next year.

I usually catch a few games a year down here in Oz on cable while I am working.  |

firehorse, you get NHL games down under? Cool! Is there any ice hockey played in Australia at all? |

I agree that the Ducks were a fluke and that Federov made a BIG mistake. He'll be kicking himself next year. Probably won't hang around more than two years.

I dunno, that playoff performance he had was about as good as it gets. I really got the feeling that the long layoff before the final round kind of allowed him to cool off. You can't really have a one-man team in hockey, but that was as close as you can get. |

I can't wait to see the suckers in my hockey pools line up to take Gigueire.

Maybe he doesn't like to play at defence and be in the shadow of old Yzerman?
