Yes, I did that on purpose, he should have resigned, but he re-signed, 2 mill is ok, but if he's got nothing in the tank it doesn't matter how cheap he is since he'll start out in the top 6.

Are CHL teams affilates?

It's subtle, but if you buy this T-Shirt, I hate you.

Relive the regression of the Wild.

I'm writing from work here, so I need to keep this somewhat brief:

If Crosby misses the rest of the year, does the NHL have to completely ban hits to the head and ban fighting? Last week even I would have had to say no, but I'm not sure even putting on a full cage would prevent concussions.

And it's not just small guy, Pronger is out with a concussion too. It's got to be something that the league must start to seriously consider, they can't keep losing stars.

....His LW spot to go back to center.

WTF, that lasted 2 games? If you going to make a switch like that (and your team is loaded with centers). Give it a shot, 5-8 games? Put Mueller out with the 3rd or 4th line to get his legs back, you know he's just going to drag down Duchene with him.

and profit.

Team has no 1st rounder, so no reason to tank.

3-6-1 in their last 10 (won't go back to last season like some have, they were trying to tank then).

Lost 4 in a row.

To wing.

Ok, I was there, first off, the refs sucked tonight. I think that phantom slash they called on O'Brien was a make up call for a dive that Stoll took before, he argued hard and dropped a couple of F-bombs that I could hear 14 rows up. Oh and I don't see how you can hold with you stick hand, but there you go. ... So my other observations:
1. tale of two Duchene's, before his goal he was a pass first, tentitive skater, but when he had his break and couldn't pass it, he scored a goal scorer's goal, and played with way more confidence after.
2. Stastny seemed like just another guy out there, he needs to pick it up too.
3. What the heck did that puck hit on Hedjuk's goal?
4. I love O'Brien, he does so much that you couldn't see on a camera. His project tonight was Parise (the bad one) and he hit him a couple of times and I think made him take a penalty.
5. Stoll is a little bitch who complains after every whistle. Refs didn't like his act, but it might have worked.
6. Didn't see the Winnik PIM, but it was a little suspicious they would call one of the avs best penalty killers with that much time left.
7. Doughty was jsut another guy out there tonight as well, almost didn't know he was back from injury. Makes you wonder how Mueller can come back without spending some time in the minors to get his game sharp. If he ever really comes back at all.
7. Winnik. How is he getting so much TOI? and why?
8. McLeod looked good too, for the 3 or 4 shifts he got, he did his job, probably should be playing a bit more than he is.

Predicting the Avs to finish 2nd in the NW. I don't see how Calgary finishes worse than the Oilers though.

I wasn't going to buy it this year, but I did. It's all part of being easily distracted and impulsive at the same time (I also got Xmen origins, and it's pretty good too btw, and, I got 'the witcher' and whoever was in charge of letting me know it was around in 2008 is fired). I'm on a ps3 and my name is seano77, I'm not all that good but I don't drop games unlike some people, let's just call them cocksuckers.

About time someone updates their ranking, I've seen the avs ranked in the early 20's by most other sites.

Sure the 'Free Candy' van is funny. But for some reason an avs player winning a calgary player's stick is just funny to me. It's possible it's the 4 'Monday' beers i'm sucking down, but it's all amusing to me. BTW if you're not on twitter, if only just following people, then you are really missing out.

I was perusing puck daddy and they had a link to the three teams still below the cap floor. Are the avs going to sign cumiskey then buy out yip and hunwick?

I was thinking I would get a Gretzky tshirt from nhlshop, but they don't have the 90's logo, I could get the newer crown logo with his name and number on the back. Is that a foul? I linked to the set up...

Cause most people if given the choice would take Khabulin over Valaramov....Why does what the avs gave up Valaramov keep coloring how people think he will do with the avalanche?

The avs have no incentive to roll out the tank next year. If they struggle early then it's bye bye Sacco or (and) another trade they're not going to sit back and just give washington a good pick.

that's the google translater I linked, it makes for an interesting read, but you can make out for the most part what he's trying to say. got it from http://twitter.com/#!/dchesnokov appearenly he'll have an english version on sunday. Does anyone know who Jean-Sebastien Zhiger is, he sounds like one bad ass goalie. two quotes I really liked:

bq. From 2002 to 2007, the goalkeeper, "Anaheim" Zhiger played so that he kept in reserve Ilya Bryzgalov. Are not you afraid that history will repeat itself?
- The athlete should not be afraid of competition.

and

- After the press conference with me immediately telephoned Joe Sakic. He now works as executive director of the "Avalanche". Sakic wished me luck and said he was glad to see me in the team. And when called Patrick Roy, I really was stunned with happiness. That such associations - in the "Colorado" has played so many wonderful players!
Patrick chatted with me. He told how his career took shape in Denver. Said that I was right to choose. This is a great city that is home to wonderful fans. Roy said that I would love to play in "Colorado."

It's nice to know that former players are still out there pumping up the town and team.

**UPDATED NHL RUMORS**Source: Burke still heavily involved with Avs & Panthers : Very likely Stastny or Weiss will be a Leaf soon #Leafs

With either team you'd need at least Komesarek coming back + so I don't see it happening so much.
