If Nashville walks away from Weber and Holland doesn't get him signed. I think LGW.com will have a meltdown....

YEA ME TOO. MAYBE HE WILL PLAY AND HOPE TO GET TRADED AS THE SEASON GOES ON. I HOPE HE DOES WELL THOUGH.

Weaver has been suspended 6 games by MLB. http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/story/_/id/6828094/los-angeles-angels-jered-weaver-banned-6-games-mike-scioscia-1

That new Nashville jersey would make me want to play somewhere else.

NICE, I FEEL BAD FOR HIM THOUGH.

Yes, and tell him to bring Bill Clement with him. I'm not old enough to have a lawn or an onion tied to my belt, but I do remember the good ol' days when Thorne and Clement called hockey games on ESPN, and they're the voices of all those great Red Wings moments from the 90s - like Steve's goal against the Blues in '96, Game 4 of the '97 Cup Finals, the Brawl in Hockeytown.....all of it.

and Kenny sits and waits, hes smarter than we thought after all

Anyways, been waiting to respond in here after getting a bit of an understanding from people who are much more knowledgeable and aware than I am. As long as the majority of owners overall are happy with Bettman, he isn't going anywhere. He played a part in dragging this league into their most recent lockout but he's done a good job slowly/surely getting the league out of it and getting the league into some relevance again in the general population, again slowly/surely. Shoreline and haroldsnepts pretty much state my thoughts on him more/less. I acknowledge and give him credit for doing a decent job, but he still comes off as a fuzznut to EXISTING fans/EXISTING customer base. He dodges questions masterfully and always tells people what fans "think" when a lot of the times I find what the fans "think" to not be fully accurate from him. While I think so many existing fans of this product aren't going abandon watching the sport anytime soon, in business (and professional sports is no exception), one of the most important principles if not the most important is taking care of your existing/current customers. Him getting just peppered with boos nearly every year now presenting the Stanley Cup to the winning team or Conn Smythe trophy, regardless of if it is home/away team or player, that goes to show you not a lot of current fans/customers like him. What also helps his, and the NHL's cause right now, is the recently labor disputes in the NFL and still ongoing one in the NBA.

LOUD NOISES!

I'm sad for DiPietro... lol okay I'm not ))

This thread I think is eye candy for the girls wrapped in the disguise of personal fitness. lol

What ever just get Gary Thorne.

Compare Datsyuk's puny chicken legs to Lidstroms tree-trunks

The people on here complaining that we overpaid for Big E are probably the same that were bitching about overpaying for Kronwall a couple of years ago. And Mursak could become a top six forward. It's far to early to tell. Dats wasn't great in his first year and Mursak hasn't even played his first full year...

Illuminati? Though I am guessing 'defenesemen'.

Like a fine wine, Datsyuk just keeps on getting better with age.

Happy B Day Pavel

rafalski should probably be getting in next year

there is exactly zero chance that nashville walks away from the arbitrator's decision. let's be realistic.

I think this is the first time you and I have agreed, but this is completely true. An arbitrator will award almost certainly less than what Weber and Co. are pushing for. If Weber's camp is pushing for $8.5, its doubtful the judge rules for anything higher than $8....which Weber is certainly worth . Anything less and NSH makes out like a bandit because they get 2 more years of his services worry-free before renegotiating long-term. NSH's POV right now is why waste money the next 2 years when the judge will almost certainly save them some.

uh oh, negatives! howard was pulled multiple times last year

I'm sorry....not way he gets signed. I hate to burst ya bubble bud. I would love to have him in the Winged Wheel but I just don't think it's ever going to happen.

couldn't be any more wrong
