Vote for Super Joe

Sean Leahy at going 5-hole is holding a "Best Captain in the NHL" poll. Sakic's first round opponents:

Bill Guerin
Brenden Morrow
Vincent Lecavalier

He's whooping ass right now (as expected) but let's go vote him through anyways.

Be Careful where you eat in Louisville Joe

May want to be careful when you go out to eat Joe.

Kukla, as usual, gets it

Kukla, as usual, gets it

Paul Kukla, as usual, gets it right. Other than his Red Wings Fandom of course.

Random open thread: Monday 10/13

I'll be watching some hockey tonight, probably, so i thought i'd throw this open and see if anyone else joins.

Washington plays Vancouver? (do i have to cheer for Theo?)

Detroit and Carolina

Chicago and Nashville

Nj and the Rangers

and Montreal and Philly.

I don't get home until about 6:00 mountain, but i'll join in when i get home... unless the jibblewife unloads some chores or something on me.

Random open game thread: Caps vs 'Hawks

Jibblescribbits — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 00:25:09 -0000

Got some free time and decided to watch Caps vs Blackhawks. We pick it up 2-2 with 4:00 left in the 2nd...

From what i've seen Theo has been better than he was in game one.. but not great. He just gave up a juicy rebound that Chi put off the post, and prbably should have buried.

I'm just interested in seeing Ovechkin, Toews, Kane, as well as how the two "big" goalie FA's are adjusting. Especially Theo since that's how Budaj's going to be compared to.

I was doing some research for the upcoming Avs roundtable and I came across this from a commenter back on the season preview post (the Avs roundtable one). It's funny how much can change in just one short season.

If Q fails here, Granato doesn't have a chance, they'll look outside the organization for the next coach I think.

What idiot* said that?

**Ok it definitely was me

Free Agency-Day 2 (open thread)

[Promoted to the front page because I'm lazy. -Joe]

Since there are still a significant number of UFAs to sign, probably today, and the Avs could still make some noise I figured we should start another thread to keep track of the signings (I didn't see a new one)

While it's tempting to add onto yesterday's epic a new thread will be a little easier to follow.

Today (so far)

TB re-signs Niskala and Ryan Craig

Carolina signs UFA defenceman Josef Melichar

Kamensky/Gusarov '08

Canucks Defenseman Luc Bourdon dead at 21

Sad Story (In French)

Motorcycle Accident.

RIP

He played 27 games for the Canucks last season and 9 the season before that. He was a #1 pick in the 2005 draft.

(And because the fan site needs 75 words in order to publish this, I am just going to keep writing until I get to 75. I know this jibberish is in no way relevent or appropriate to the story, but a limit must be reached. )
