elvis15 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 We'll see more and more of this as players want to play, but also have game situations to prepare themselves in case a deal is reached. There would only be a week or so of warm up once a new CBA is in place so its not a lot of time to get in the swing of things for what could be important games in a shortened season.

Ossi Vaananen Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Mad respect for the Honey Badger. It's just insurance and nothing else, that's a guy who just wants to play some hockey. Where are the owners' supporters now? So much for greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Heyman Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hmm, according to Tappara's player page for Hansen (http://www.tappara.fi/liiga/joukkue.html?view=tapparapelaajat&layout=pelaaja&pelaajaid=109), he's at 185cm (6'1) and 92kg (203lbs). That's about 8 more pounds than he was last year, I wonder how the added muscle will affect his play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
