NHL 2009-'10 Pre-Season Thread
 

Alright, the "celebration" in the main NHL 2009 thread has gone on long enough. Time to talk postseason. Have fun.

P.S.--Someone get this stickied ON THE DOUBLE!

I hope Hossa resigns with the Red Wings. And it's a long term contract. So they get stuck with the Hossa Curse until he retires.

City of Champions FTW!

Dear God, please let Toronto make some significant moves.

Probably not gonna happen, but I'm still wishing for Lecavalier to make it to Montreal somehow.

I'm hoping the Wild will get rid of Gaborshit, and bring in somebody who will score a ton of goals, and not get injured every frickin' second.

I wouldn't mind Gaborik on the Pens if they could even afford him and he stayed healthy. But neither of them two are possible.

Gaborik is gonna be new york bound

Great Hall of Fame class this year. Hull, Yzerman, Leech and Robitaille.

Gaborik and Hossa to the Canucks. They'll also trade for Heatley and pick up Boumeister.

Alittle ambitous there Hero.

Can't wait for the nhl draft this weekend

Yeah, pretty awesome, especially considering 3 of them played some or all of their careers for the Red Wings. More stoked about Yzerman than any of them, though really, because, lets face it, whether you liked the guy or you don't you have to admit he worked his ass off at all times during games and that is a huge part, besides Mike Vernon and Chris Osgood in 1997 & 1998 that allowed us to win those back-to-back Stanley Cups.

Frankly though, the one guy who I'm still modestly shocked is still around would be Chris Chelios. I mean the guy is going on, what, like 48, and he's still oh so awesome. However, I wouldn't be surprised, or upset with him, if he decided to retire soon, because, I mean he will probably be able to do something with his "Cheli's Chili" or whatever in downtown Detroit when he finally does.

Fears BGL.

Detroit has stated they are not resigning him.

He should go back to the Hawks for his last year or two.

Or he could consider retiring, if he wants to...I mean he's almost 48.

Goride Howe played till he was 51 and then came back at 70 for 1 shift. 48 is nothing. Just about any team with a young core could use him in a leadership/mentoring position even if he only plays 10 games a year.

Yeah, Howe was and still IS, the shit. And personally, no matter what may have happened earlier this month, I will still never forget him sharing the ice for the ceremonial puck drop before Game 1.

Oh and to keep the status quo. New sig.

He was friggen awful last year. He's a huge liability on the ice.

Fedorov is off to Russia for 2 years. Hugish lose for the Caps.

Not surprising. I heard the Fedorov's father had a lifelong wish wanting Fedor and Sergei to play on the same team, so this is their chance.

Fedor Fedorov

coolest name ever

Nah, sorry. I went to grade shool with a kid named Travis Travis.

This is true. Hopefully we can pick up somebody to replace him.

Or clone Ovechkin.

Shit. Progner is a Flyer now.

Leafs take Nazem Kadri. Was hoping for Magnus Parnjvii Svensson, but ah well. Solid pick.

Wow, no draft talk here.

I wanted a big power forward.

Sabres finally draft some toughness.

This girl I used to hang out a lot with in high school's little brother got drafted by the Maple Leafs in the 5th round. :cool:

Is he gonna give you some money?

tell me about the guy the Avalanche drafted

He was a huge avs fan growing up.

Because it was the most boring draft in a long time.
