  1. It’s kind of like how the old Smythe division was back in the good old days (aka Sweathog division). Bunch of hard working teams along with some real dogs. No realistic Cup contenders though.
  2. Minus the stellar goaltending. And no, goaltending is far from the team’s current problems.......only that it hasn’t bailed them out countless times las season (regular season and postseason).
  3. How about a ‘Give Green a contract extension’ thread? Runs & hides.
  4. lol...Gino would still protect Bure even when traded. Somebody ran at Bure (think Bure was a Panther then & Odjick was a Hab) and Gino just said something like "sooner or later that punk will have to play Montreal, and I'll be there to return the receipt" ).
  5. Gino didn't have to though. Bure took matters into his own hands when somebody tried to go after him. Granted, anybody would get tough when having Gino backup you up.
  6. Skinner had the fortune of scoring 40 goals before signing that current contract of his. 40 goals!
  7. Craig Cox I swear must have an iron jaw. Ate a TON of punches from Probert in his prime...yet you see him now in interviews, and he *seem* fine. Cox went by the style of fighting of banging his head against the other guys fists to wear him down.
  8. He was your typical Sutter. Hard working every shift. We could use in our bottom six today. Think his twin brother was the more finesse skilled of the two.
  9. Ron was the far better brother of those two from what I recall. Would’ve cost us a lot to get him I think.
  10. I STILL remember myself being ticked off at why the Canucks didn’t move heaven on earth at obtaining ANOTHER twin brother decades ago. Yes, it was ANOTHER Swedish twin brothers combo. Patrik and Peter Sundstrom! Former Canuck Patrik was a very solid C for the Canucks forming one half of a deadly forward unit with Tony Tanti. Pat Quinn later dealt Sundstrom as the main piece in order to get Captain Kirk and Greg Adams!
  11. That’s number two on my bucket list. Ménage a trois. Oops, forgot what forum I was on.
  12. Him and Grabner formed a very solid PK duo WAY BACK when on the Islanders.
  13. Yeah Nonis sure like rentals. Other trivia...Gillis dealt Raphael Diaz (career journeyman) to the Rangers for a 5th round pick. Benning used that 5th round pick to draft Gaudette.
  14. It was *gloved* punch though (broke his nose I think). I think they might have had a history of sorts (Plante & May) back when they were both Sabres.
