  1. Could this termination of Vey's contract in the KHL mean he's coming back over here to play in the NHL or AHL?
  2. I heard (I think?) Ray Ferraro say something recently about the European players he played with not having as much an issue with moving from team to team as the NA players. I wonder if that feeling has evolved to include the guys from all over now? Sure, the top guys are committed to winning Cups on their current teams, but how many guys is that across the whole league? It's an attitude that is certainly there now, but (IMHAO) didn't used to be so prevalent.
  3. Excellent post @Boudrias. I agree with you, and I'm not adverse (personally) to trading Tanev, I am still of the mind that trading Tanev could be considered openly tanking though.
  4. Considering you’re already a rat, is boot licking a stretch?
  5. So true. It must be very demoralizing for a team that struggle to score to have their goalies let in softies.
  6. Moving Tanev would almost guarantee a bottom five finish, wouldn't it? Would that be openly tanking if JB did that?
  7. Agreed. I noticed he's been taking a lot of hits to make plays, and free up pucks too. Someone said earlier that Edler's back must be feeling improved. Maybe it's that simple?
  8. Totally agree. Picking in the middle, year after year, is a sure recipe for a mediocre (at best) team. I don't think JB and management (owners too) intended to tank, but I'm glad the team played poorly enough to collect those top picks. Just hitting on two of the high ones, and lucking out on a couple later picks, should result in a much better team, when the rebuild is complete. If we get Dhalin, that would make our rebuilt team all the better. Or, JB could get lucky with a later pick of a dman, like the Hawks did with Keith.
  9. They pretty much have a team full of good shooters. KD is a really good shooter too.
  10. Seriously SS, Edler hasn’t broken a stick on this entire road trip!
  11. That's so very cool. I got shivers seeing this. That will make him feel a lot better for sure. They have a great team, and will be better next year.
  12. I like that JB's bricks are interlocking, and not all the same size or shape. That's going to make for a much stronger foundation.
  13. One guy, who could carry 25 to 30 minutes a night, playing 5 on 5, and PP would change our D instantly. Guddy and Edler could focus on Dzone starts and PK. Hutton, Pouliot, and Stetcher could play softer minutes for sure. I'd send MDZ off to the fashion magazine cover shoots.
  14. Last TV show I watched from start to finish was this last Saturday's Hockey Night in Canada. The Leafs weren't on, so it was a 10/10!!!!
  15. I didn’t really care which team won, but that last play was kind of funny. How is that guy going to face his teammates?
  16. I totally agree. We have too many guys who are way too easy to play against.
  17. We need skilled size, not just size. That’s why guys like Bo and Jake are important to our forward group; they are both very heavy bodies. We have Big Jonah coming soon too. We should resign Guddy. Juiolevvi is another heavier body too, and he brings a lot of skill. Is Gaudette bigger? I think Lind is a big boy?
  18. Oh Boy! It’s another one! Yeh!!!
  19. OMG! It’s so much fun watching Pittsburgh get hammered, and at home too. Go Jags!!! Next week they will DESTROY The “Brady Bunch”.
  20. I think the cold effects the ball; it loses its dimple stickiness or something. That’s why Brady, I think, played with a slightly deflated ball. Plus, wind does make it harder to pass accurately. I don’t think the players were affected by the cold and wind, but the ball, and the passing game were. I think a warmer ball, and Jones makes that catch at the end of the game.
  21. It’s really cold and windy in Philly for today’s game. Maybe Atlanta, playing in a dome so much, will struggle in the cold and wind? I think if Atlanta gets past this game, they go to another Super Bowl.
  22. How much longer do we have to sign him, before we lose him?
