Which team had the best off-season so far?

Would be something if both the Rags and Sharks can finally find a way to get to the finals...would make for a pretty entertaining final.

And the season premiere of Jersey Shore would still draw more viewers.

I watch Jersey Shore, and I am not ashamed. It is entertainment in it's purest form.

GTL, Wing Dang Doodle.

jersey shore is what is wrong with the kids today. I'm happy to say i've never tuned in. saw a small clip and that was enough for me. reality TV is the biggest downturn for television in the last 20 years. the only reality i watch on tv is hockey, that's enough. what happened to educational programming and nature shows. we're truly living thru the decline of western civilization.

Jersey Shore can't be nearly as bad as Toddlers in Tiaras. I'm horrified whenever I see it and want to call the CAS. But some of those shows are definitely fun to watch. Wipeout and AFV are great for family viewing, Cake Boss is fun. There are lots of others. I'm not a fan of reality "competition" shows (although I'd suffered through several seasons of AI and DWTS -- those are competitions involving actual skill as opposed to the others that are more like game shows).

I dunno if you could say that Jersey Shore is what is wrong with kids today. All the cast members are in their 20s. The fact that a show like Jersey Shore gets made in the first place is a little sad, but it is Trainwreck TV at it’s best (worst), and I can’t help my addiction. The show is fairly harmless. Toddlers in Tiaras, as stated above, is a far worse commentary on our society…16 and Pregnant is another show that is just horribly depressing to watch.

For the record, I also enjoy nature shows and some educational programming (mainly a lot of Discovery channel stuff about how big things get made, etc).

Hell's Kitchen and MasterChef are where it's at.

Is Gordon Ramsay on Myth Busters? #didntthinkso

I'm so sick of Gordon Ramsay, watching him rip into some poor line cook on his show has gotten so old.

His UK shows were far more interesting.

I think the Sens had the off-season, we were so good we did almost all of them at the deadline

But the cooks are always so bad! How many tmies does it take to perfectly cook the scallops!!?!?!?! C'mon!

MasterChef is better, since he doesn't yell, he just judges.

I guess I should have added a "But" in front.

I like what Ottawa did, and based on what they set out to do, they did it. They stocked up on prospects.

I like Toronto's few moves (Connolly, Franson, Lombardi).

Philly shook things up and might actually be more rounded.
