    Was there any substance on the talks/rumors between the Leafs, and Philly? I'd assume the Leafs would want a Dman in return...Right?

    I've read Meh makes a living where it's dirty...

    And this is why I'd rather see Gus moved rather than keeping him...The potential to land another hi-end draft pick is what this team needs. If we have a repeat of 2018 for the upcoming 2019 draft - our club could possibly be playoff bound, and dangerous within a few years from now.

    Farewell To Joe Louis Arena

    I recall a massive auction taking place in the summer of 2017 - however the troughs weren’t up for auction at that time. And yeah - you were responsible for dragging the winnings home...I could only imagine the looks I’d get going westbound on I94 with a trailer of troughs

    Still wondering whatever became of the men's room troughs...
  7. Colorado sucking for several seasons = success today. Edmonton sucking for several seasons = still the suck. We gotta find the recipe the Avs are using...

    I honestly don't care much for wine - it's beer/bourbon/scotch, and more recently rum for me. With craft beer becoming it's own food group - drinking here is accepted very casually. I'm certain people in California look at us like we're from a different planet.

    Was that article written about Europe, or Wisconsin?

    Yeah - I sorta forgot that Hank's LTIR $$$ is now pretty much eaten up by Larkin's new contract...Holland would have to get very creative in order to afford Nylander. That's the huge risk with Nylander...He's gotten good numbers playing alongside great talent in T.O....Kids these days want the $$$ off their ELC...Not saying I want Willie boy, but just for $hits & giggles it makes interesting conversation.

    Gonna throw this out there... Nylander...Would Holland kick the tires, and what would it realistically cost the Red Wings if he became a member of the 'Swedish Mafia'?

    At the bold Yeah - pretty much every country in Europe has more than it's fair share of alcoholism/heavy drinking when compared to the rest of the globe.

    Indeed. Some of it is genetics (Native Americans/Canadians are said to have a gene in which they're predisposed to addiction, and others such as the Japanese apparently have a pretty low rate of addiction when compared to their Western counterparts). Also head injuries are a key factor concerning 'bad habits' as people who suffered them have a much higher % of addiction afterwards.
  15. Ssshhhh! We need a top 10 pick...Finishing a few games over .500 would be nice.

    {ring ring - ring ring} Stevie Y - 'Hello...Yzerman residence'. Holmgren - 'Hello Steve...This is Paul Holmgren of the Phil'. CLICK Holmgren - 'Hello?..Hello?..Steve you there?'..

    Kenny better pull the trigger sooner than later...Over the years Jimmy has had a bad habit of getting injured mid-season...
  19. Any chance Howard is traded this afternoon, and starts for the Blues tonight?

    2019 Off-Season

    ‘Some’ of the mods back then were outright ridiculous. In one of the playoff threads in which the Habs were partaking - I was using Google Translator, and conversed in French. Some colorful language was part of the discussion, and a mod deleted it, and sent me a pm. Glad that person isn’t here anymore.

    Outta curiosity how does one such as yourself get a ban? I honestly don’t recall any issues while you were ‘Number 9’...

    I will agree that anything is possible, but truth be told I feel Stevie Y sees himself as an 'adopted son' of Detroit, and he's lived there the most throughout his adult life (also considering his wife is from the area, and his 3 girls still consider metro Detroit their home). Again - anything is possible, but I really do believe he wants to go home (Detroit), and work in some capacity within the Detroit Red Wings organization.
