DESTROYER — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 00:34:12 -0000

just read on MLB daily dish that the brewers put trevor hoffman, mike cameron, jason kendall, craig counsell, braden looper, and felipe lopez on waivers.

I would Definately like to see the Cards pick up Hoffman for righty support, and Felipe Lopez as well, and send donw Khalil. Anyone else you would like to see in the Birds on the bat?

also what would the Cards have to give up to nab these guys off the waiver wire

Jose Theodore's 2 month old son dies

DESTROYER — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:13:04 -0000

MONTREAL (AP)—The 2-month-old son of Washington Capitals goaltender Jose Theodore (notes) has died.

The goalie’s sister-in-law made the announcement Thursday during her show on a Montreal-area radio station. Veronique Cloutier, whose sister Stephanie is married to Theodore, did not give details.

“We are aware of the heartbreaking news,” Capitals general manager George McPhee said in a statement. “At this time we ask that everyone respects the privacy of Jose and his family.”

Theodore and Stephanie Cloutier also have a 3-year-old daughter, Romy

This is definately pretty sad. I am about to have a kid myself and and definitely know I would be devistated by this. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jose, and his family at this time

NEED TO KNOW

DESTROYER — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:45:15 -0000

Ok, as many of you know I play in an adult hockey league here in KC. One question that runs rampant in my mind is this. If the refs are not protecting the players by calling penalties, is it ok to take it into your hands and show the guy its not ok to slash everyone on the team repeatedly?

My problem is the refs in both leagues I play in are absolutely terrible in making calls, and often times let play continue until tempers boil over and someone gets just hammered into the boards or a fight breaks out. I have a tough time keeping my cool sometimes because of this. I constantly will take pot shots at refs for being blind and being on the other teams payroll because of said miscues. Now I wont get ejected from games, I know where the line is and I dont cross it I just let them know I am there and usually tell them if they dont start calling cheap shots there might be a little damage done. Maybe moving up in leagues the refering(sp?) gets better, but in my current league trips, high sticks, and slashing all go to the way side because refs dont like being at my games or the say "well he cant skate what do you expect?". I expect a fair game, I am very much a person that can skate, better then most in my league, and when I get tripped I expect the fucking call. Not the well its D league bullshit. Sooner rather then later, the guy that trips me, slashes me, or does anything to impede my progress will know you do not do that, and will not get away with it

I need opinions, because it honestly gets very old when refs miss more calls then anything ive ever seen

who lives in or close to KC

DESTROYER — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:06:00 -0000

I am just wondering I live in Leawood, KS and play in two adult leagues at pepsi ice, and line creek community center, just want to know who else on this board lives in or around and plays in some of these leagues.

I play for a team called the Avalanche unfortunatly, and a team called the empty kegs.

also who is going to the preseason game at sprint?
I know i will be going

my Free Agent wishlist

DESTROYER — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 23:06:26 -0000

well these are the free agents I would like to see in the Blue Note with the current status of the Cap

petr sykora: I think this guy still has some left in the tank, veteran leadership paired with Tkachuk would be outstainding and would probably sign for the same size contract

maxim afinogenov: fast player with a nice shot and good passing, bit of a reach on salary and change of scenery might bring him back to level he was before the slump

marty biron: as a back up to mason or platoon them as the Blues usually do with goaltending. now the salary might be a stretch but he has been fairly consistent for the flyers as they have made the playoffs the past couple of years.

and as always if salary was not an issue

on D i would like Schneider, bouwmeester

Forwards: Tanguay, Cole, henrik sedin, cammalleri, havlat

HEATLEY

DESTROYER — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:24:58 -0000

I just read that Heatley wants out of Ottawa for a western conference team. I know the cap is already screwed. But what do you think the Avs would give in a trade for an elite scorer witha 5 yr, 7.5 mil contract?

How many of you fans would want that? I know I would. I would give up Hejduk as much as I hate to see favorite player of mine go, but Heatley? that would be a great trade to me. I know it would take more then that though

Poll

For or against the Avs trade for Heatley
