So...you're offended by someone else's heritage, which was publicly displayed on a feed you chose to follow, so in turn you throw every insult you can his way and then go and post the same exact picture which you were offended by on another public forum?

I've had about enough of all this lockout talk. As best as I can tell given that I don't speak Swiss, Damien Brunner is tearing it up in the Swiss League. 5 goals and 7 assists in 9 games. Additionally he's got nearly twice as many shots on goal as the Omark (who leads the team in points, though with two more games than Brunner). Absolutely can't wait until Hank gets over there and suits up with him, I'm dying to see what Brunner's shot can do with Z creating space for him. His release is quick and should be very effective in the NHL, and his finishing ability seems (admittedly based on not much) to be better than Hudler's. Here's hoping all that success isn't do to shoddy Swiss defense. I've got high hopes for this guy!

Cool story, whiny animal lover.

Didn't that hack put up 30 pts. last season? On a team that doesn't score much no less? Which would give him more points than Helm, Miller, Abby, Emmerton, and Holmstrom. And he plays physical. And he scraps. Not mad about this one dude.

WAAAAAAH Sick the wings have a huge hitting, tough forward who can scrap with almost anyone in the league. He also kills the largest bear on earth and enjoys it. Go join green peace

I won't be around for the game as I'll be driving. Hoping that everything has stayed the same from last season as ahllive like to mess with stuff that gets things out of whack. Did a quick test last night, but won't know how effect that was until actual gametime. I'll check on it when I can.

Wasn't he just saying how he wanted to hang around and see things through or did I just make that up? All I know is that this lockout is seriously pissing me off, far more than the other two I've experienced. I'm so over it.

Tonight at 7PM EST. Would have been on FSD had more people voted but ah well...Hockey is back! Well...AHL hockey is back anyway. First regular season game for the Griffins tonight. A few current Red Wings in Smith, Tatar, Nyquist and a few up and coming guys like Jurco and Sheahan start their first pro year. Full preview can be read here, it's too long to post in full: http://griffinshocke...article_id=2247 I am very excited Especially for a 4th line of Callahan-Aubry-Grant. Hopefully Drumnj will get us all sorted. And hopefully the mods will let this stay in the Red Wings section, so we can all talk about hockey for once.

Awesome indeed! I wish I could kill more (read: any) polar bears. I hear polar beat meat is tasty. Are you a vegan?

I know it's hard to believe that he can have so much power over a sport that he is the most despised person by the fans (those who provide the revenues that are fighting over) of that sport.

I must say, growing up in the country and raising cattle at one time, all of this makes sense... More cow bell please

Hockey players tend to have egos as big as their appetite for cash. As long as the NHL is the most competitive and historic league, they will come back to establish their legacy. Sure it's nice to get paid a competitive salary and be at home, but no one will ever give them props for being one of the greatest while they are in the KHL. They are mad and irrational like us fans, but they'll march right back when things are worked out like us too.

You're right. I missed that part. I guess my eyes wander when I read the same quotes in every article about the lockout.

He is contracted to play for the Caps in exchange for 9.7 mil. (IIRC) per year. If the Caps won't pay him the agreed salary, why should he be bound by the contract?

Don Cherry would like it if the Russians stayed home, more jobs for his, "Good Canadian Boys". As mentioned, I think the players are just saying this to help bargain against Bettman and the 7 owners that back him. In the future I'm going to refrain from bunching the owners together. From the sounds of it, this lockout is only Bettman, Phoenix, and 7 other teams... Take 'em down Fehr, NHLPA, and 22 owners! Let's get our game back! Z can say whatever he wants, that little runt is going to take away two years and 150 points to his career totals!

So, it was good then that Jimmy D made his comments, right? He's just trying to force Fehr's hand by talking to the public. It's basic negotiating and he's not doing anything wrong or badly. It's being petulant, and wanting some attention. Nothing more, nothing less.

fyi "hockeyyinsiderr" is a teenage kid and all of his posts are completely fabricated by him. He has no inside info.

As I said yesterday, I think Fehr's been brought in by the PA and 22 owners to take Bettman out... That little turd has gotten to powerful! I don't care how long this lockout lasts, I want Bettman gone!! With the amount of money 1/3 of the teams are losing, there's no way all 30 owners wanted a lockout!

That s*** is so shady.

Stoked I'm going to lose another season of watching Z play. Careers go by fast enough, let alone losing two years because of the lockout master.
