You're supposed to use your words in today's pussy NHL.

Godamnit, just when I thought Byfuglien was in the East to stay :rant:

Glad to see another Canadian team. There are another 4-5 cities in Canada that could support NHL teams better than some of the American cities are.

Leave the hitting in the game and take the body armor out.

Winnipeg has to prove they can handle a team because nobody went to their games before and nobody wanted to play there. I personally think it's gonna crash in about 3 years because nobody is gonna want to play there and I don't see how they'll stay competitive.

Trim Thomas better win the Vezina...

Nice mustache he had. He's one of the few who can pull it off convincingly.

He is quite the man...

Robyn Regehr has been asked to drop his No Movement clause as Calgary has made a deal with Buffalo.

Rumor is prospects and a mid round pick. Clagary is dumping cap.

I love it. Regehr and Myers would make an amazing lockdown line.

I havent seen much of him the last few years, how has he looked? I know hes getting a bit older, but 31 isnt that bad on a 2 year deal.

Jeff Carter to Columbus for Voracek and a 1st

I hope this makes Vermette available.

Mike Richards to the Kings for Wayne Simmonds and Brayden Schenn

Start of an overhaul in Philly?

Holy shit. Philly is dealing. I dont like either trade for them. Ouch.

Sucks that Carter ended up in Columbus. I was hoping that Nash would GTFO in the near future. Less likely to happen now with Carter there. :n:

Holy shit, Philly traded their captain? Maybe they are regretting those long term contracts they offered Richards and Carter.

Never mind my last post, Bryzgalov signed a 9 year deal with them.

LOL Philadelphia

this.

Yeah what the fuck Philly.

<font color=goldenrod>It's a wonderful thing everytime Philadelphia fucks up.</font>

I was thinking how tough Philly would be next season with a healthy Pronger and a goalie for the first time in a generation...Thanks guys!

p.s. JVR is still a gigantic shithead

Leafs pick up John Michael Liles for a second round pick in 2012. I like.

Some quick NHL news:

1) :rofl: Philly

2) Winnipeg will chose its old team name of the Jets instead of continuing the Thrashers line or previous rumors of them taking the AHL name of the Moose but they can't get the rights to the original Jets era due to Phoenix currently holding those rights.

Great business with the Kaberle trade.

1. Caron
2. 1st round pick
3. JML

...all for a player who's a shell of his former self. If the Bruins had not been gently raping the Leafs over the past season en route to a Stanley Cup, I'd be mad at PC but I'll give him a pass on it. Kudos to Burke though.

They've petitioned to change the city's name to Ilya-delphia.

GO JETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buttman had said during the official NHL returning to Winnipeg press conference that the NHL would give back the Jets name if TNSE wanted it. NHL owns Phoenix - can do whatever they want.

Can't wait for this young Oilers team to mature - loaded with arguably the best young talent in the league. :y:

They couldn't use the Thrashers name even if they wanted to, the old owners have the rights to the name still.

Loving the B's getting Dougie Hamilton.


Also very proud of my classmate Jamie Oleksiak getting drafted by Dallas. Big Jamie in Big D. Hopefully he can come back for one more year.

Classy people in attendance at the draft - booing and chanting "USA, USA" at Pierre Gauthier for speaking in French and wishing a Happy Sainte Jean Baptiste day. :nono:

He spent less time in Quebec than Saku Koivu, and still learned French..... I :heart: Pierre.......

asjdhfalsdga;lsdfa;sdf everybody hates the Canucks, this is great.

super excited the Avs took Landeskog

Who's everybody? Minnesota has hated us since the Wild were born...

I do tend to agree with you though, more and more, the Canucks are becoming hated. 2-3 years ago, they were kind of under the radar, the team you might give a polite clap to for the effort they put in.

These days, people treat the Canucks like the Yankees, Except they haven't won shit, but everyone is hating on them.

I chalk it up to jealousy without merit...This off season will be huge for the Canucks. If they can get Bieska and Ehrhoff to sign new contracts, and move Ballard(and God willing Lou...) They will be an even better team next year.

The Canucks have something a lot of other teams wish want and pray for....Home Team Discounts.

Both Sedin's, Kesler, Burrows, and Hamhius and Maholtra took less money to stay(or sign) with the Nucks than they would have got on the open market. I hope and think Bieska will do the same soon. The fact that players seem to WANT to play for the Nucks, and will take less money to do so is a huge factor in other fans jealousy.

Canucks core is largely intact, as the Bruins...most other team(Hawks and Flyers) cant keep there core.

Sorry I meant "everybody in the crowd."

Also, :wtf: @ Philly?!?

Did they learn nothing from Roman Fuckin Checkmanuk(whatever the spelling)

They signed a Russian goalie to a 9 year contract.

Makes me feel better about Louongo at least. Diepietro and now Brygzalov have worse contracts.

They just garunteed him an average of 5 1/2 million per season. He has no motivation to do anything anymore.

Artrius Irbe is the only Russian goalie in my generation I can say anything positive about.

My English spelling also typically sucks...Add Russian players...forget about it.

Irbe isn't Russian :p he's Latvian

I think Dipietro would be worth the money if he didn't break all his bones when a bug lands on him.

I hate what the Blackhawks are doing.

I think people are not looking close at the Philly trades. They're pretty good.

Yea and no, that contract they just off loaded was huge. They had over paid for him, with Seabrook and Duncan already anchoring the blueline *this* deal is pretty wise ... mainly because of his 7+ million per year contract

I think if the Canucks don't move Ballard he'll have a great season next year. He's a good skater, great at moving the puck and has a lethal hip check, there's no reason to move him if you don't have to.

There was some talk with Gillis and Coach V about how Ballard came into the season just assuming he'd be a top guy because of his contract. He didn't get the culture of the team until it was too late for him. They made a solid dman out of Alberts who was awful when he first came here, they can do the same with Ballard.

I love the Flames trading for Butler..... then they fuck it up by signing Tanguay long-term.....
