NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

[Chuck Norris]

Your refusal to admit you were reading the goalie story the way you wanted to is comical. Story never changed and from day one is consistent with eventual the st croix hiring.

Not at all, new pieces of information were being revealed daily as both sides of the story came out. I made my comments after hearing what Allaire had to say but before Burke had his press conference.

Fair enough, and depending on how you determine top6/2nd liner/3rd liner Wayne was fringe last season. 4th in points, 2nd in goals & pims - and in the group of 5 forwards they rolled on PP in addition to Claude - but #8 in toi/gp

Good buddies, eh?

Billy & I ? Yep, pretty good buddies, have been chatting with the mofo for 3 years.

What's with the general preference of north american-based NHLers always looking to play in Europe whereas KHL doesn't seem to be such a strong option for them

They cannot qualify to play in the KHL.

evander qualified why not sid

[cliff11]

the moral of the story is that the habs suck

evander qualified why not sid

You really don't know the answer to that question?

[Shep]

KHL only wants black people

[kimmer]

I am just being trolly, sorry Karem. I am just expressing my frustration on north Americans taking the easy route out!!

According to Dallas Eakins Paul Ranger was the best player on the ice during the Marlies scrimage this morning.

Chara to Lev Praha (KHL), Duchene to Frolunda (SEL), P.Bergeron to Lugano (NLA).

Some pretty big names signing today.

Benn to the German league?

This is looking like a lockout both sides are ready to wait out. Neither representing the fans.


Time for the AHL to get HD cameras in their buildings and market a TV package, I'd buy it right now.

Nhl is a fucking farce. If i had to guess, there will be a lockout again the moment the next CBA expires.

If these labour negotiations end the season, we as fans should seriously consider boycotting the NHL because that would be absolutely unacceptable. The two sides only disagree on a few percentages over the first year, their numbers are near identical over the second year forward, it's amazing to me that both sides would pursue a lockout over that. It shows absolutely no respect or appreciation for the fans.

[Nick]

so far they've lost 100M, or less then 1% over a 4 year term, still well within the amount they are arguing over.

Yep ...

Allegedly..

Loving the WJC rewind, what a team that was! Phaneuf and Weber are just epic! And no shit we won, half of our team are impact NHLers, I remembered this as dominant, but not like this. Ovy and Malkin are beasts, notably heavier then many of the Canadians, but neither has anything going on.
