"Petruzelli Does Boston"

Hirose would clear. Not a big loss if he didnt.

So I wonder what's going on with Bobby Ryan? I thought he was doing well before his injury. Maybe waiting to see where we're at after Erne and Vrana sign? Most of us probably agree it'd be better to have Bobby Ryan here than Nielsen. Bury Nielsen or buy him out and re-sign Ryan. Not sure if they would rather go with Hirose. I know they'll give Smith a spot rather than lose him to waivers. I'm not even sure Hirose will clear this time. But for sure I'd rather have Ryan than Nielsen.

Maybe it's just because I'm a chick, but I didn't find his comment offensive when he said it. I figured that he didn't mean like actual females- trainers, maintenance workers, security, hotel staff, etc- that they were dealing with on a daily basis. I figured that he meant women- like puck bunnies. Maybe he should have been more specific. He should have said something like, "It's a good thing there aren't any loose harlots to distract them." Also, speaking as a woman, dogs and children are distractions from work. They're so darn cute and cuddly and you have to clean up after them, which is time-consuming. I would think that dogs and children are much more of a distraction than puck bunnies. Well, maybe just the children. You have to give them a lot of attention. All you have to do with dogs and puck bunnies is give them a bone now and then.

Until we draft a decent center for the first time since Dylan Larkin. Seriously, who is our top rated center prospect now? Veleno? Neiderbach? Woof.

For Nielsen. Straight up.

Too bad Pope didn't pan out. Put him on Suter's wing with Zadina and you have a Pope-Pius-XI line.
