I almost feel bad for him, until I realize that if it was someone else this happened to that he was the cause of, he wouldn't care, he would probably laugh and say good.

I have it and many others. Just looked through my hockey folder...348 items

Cleary has been fine I swear some of you don't even watch the games and still ***** about Cleary

I was cleaning my garage last weekend and decided to go though a box of some of my old stuff my dad dropped of about a month ago. This is had been in storage in his attic since I moved out in 1999. It was a collection of my Yzerman cards I thought I had lost. I do have a rookie but that is on a plaque hanging in my basement. And I also found this guy, back when I collected cards I had no clue he would turn out to be the perfect human. My Wife asked if they were worth anything, I said not nearly close enough to even consider. I thought I would share.

Ahhh stop jinxing helms back

"It’s just a read. If you don’t change the way you visually see the game, then change is impossible." - Matt Cooke Translation: Once you begin seeing opposing players as human beings, and not like animals to be slaughtered, it's much easier to play hockey without intentionally trying to ruin their lives.

I didn't know he wasn't already retired.

Best thing I have ever seen

Cleary plays fine and you better get use to him cause he is getting a raise. and Tatar and Cleary are completely different players

One I made last year about Babs Cleary Obsession and another I made when they signed Alfredsson

I'd like to see...just for a game or two. Alfie-Dats-Bert Zetterberg-Weiss-Franzen Tatar-Andersson-Abby Miller-Helm-Cleary Tootoo-Eaves

no but I just want them on the team.

What's funny is Cooke talks about it as if he had to adjust some subtle aspects of his technique. As if his history was an inadvertent and unfortunate part of his playing style. When really it comes down to 1) don't elbow guys in the head. 2) don't hit guys square in the numbers and ram them facefirst into the boards, 3) don't stick out your knee to hit another guys leg as you check them. Voila! With those complex adjustments to Matt Cooke's game, 99% of his suspensions would be gone.

There is no way a team would pick up Sammy off waivers. I don't see any likely scenario where that would happen. Wishful thinking. In regards to salary retention, we can only withhold a maximum of 50%

I think Tootoo would do just fine in the playoffs if given the chance. He has played lots of playoff games for Nashville. Saying he is not a playoff player because Babcock scratched him most games last year is like saying Tatar is not an NHL calibre player.

Because Abby, Miller, Glendening, Kindl, Ericsson, Smith, Lashoff, Dekeyser, Tatar, Quincey, Andersson, Howard, and Gustavsson are all in their twenties.

The Hudlers (or anything Hudler for that matter) and Murph's hot dogs are my favorites. This squad needs a little more personality these days. A bar fight, a tranny ohoker scandal, show up to camp fat or something! Give us something to work with.

How are the wings a young team?

Second line sucks. I would rather it be nyquist Weiss and Tatar. Won't happen but one can dream

So long, sucker. Don't let the door kick you in the ass on the way out.

Damn straight!

Gotta think that the league will start pushing to either hold the Flyers responsible for Pronger's cap hit, or punish them for deliberate circumvention of the cap. If that were to happen, then I guarantee Holmgren will follow in Laviolette's footsteps... ...out the door...

I don't feel the least bit sorry for Pronger. This is poetic justice for a dirty scumbag of a player who spent his whole career viciously and intentionally trying to injure people. At least Cooke is trying to pull a Mikita. Pronger was dirty to the very end.

Yawningly anti-climatic, and I can't say I'm heartbroken. I've had a good hate on for Pronger pretty much his entire career. Glad he's not really hurt or anything, but I'm just as glad he's not playing anymore. Can't say I'm really upset for Philly, either. Does that make me a bad person?
