In a few minutes it'll be officially announced...Wonder if they'll also have the team name, and logo?

Yeah Oasis is alright, and I have always liked Blur as well (Britpop), but if memory serves me well - Stone Roses manager more, or less gave the band bad advice, and screwed any chance of them getting the acclaim that they should've gotten.

Living in the greater Milwaukee area I was fortunate to see both the Charlatan UK (aka Charlatans), and Echo and the Bunnymen within the past few years...Not sure why the Stone Roses wouldn't come to the States - I'm certain they'd have people showing up to see them. Damn carbs - how I love thee... Not a Red Wings commercial, but still pretty darn funny...

Stone Roses - totally underappreciated band of the late 80's - early 90's...Wish they'd have a N.Murican tour.

Why is Howard wearing his gear...Oh wait - nevermind.

But he's got a 'straight' blade on his stick...He probably switches back, and forth since he's the Jesus.

Pffft...Pansy pacifists making hockey boring...

We all remember the 'Laughing Hudlers' on the bench...Someone with photoshop skills needs to make the 'Punching Bertuzzi's' - having multiple lil'Berts all throwing uppercuts.

He's 1 of t hose types that you'll find in rounds 2 thru 4 in the draft...They have the tenacity, but will they continue to develop the skill to play in the NHL? Like you said - he's coming along nicely.

Dear Santa,Please let lil'Bert not get suspended, or at the most get 1 game...I really - REALLY wanna see lil'Bert in action against the Maple Leafs this Thursday...I'm hoping he welcomes back that weiner - err - nice guy William Nylander back to the NHL with a thunderous body check, and be on him like a pitbull on a porkchop throughout the game.Your pal,FMichael

Indeed...Many probably just started watching in the past 3 years.

Anyone want a good laugh should venture over to the Avs section on HF Boards...

Whatever became of that 'down vote' button...

I honestly believe Marner will push for nothing less than $8 million (possibly more if he gets 90 plus pts). But yeah - I've been saying it since the start of the season when Willie began his hissy-fit...Leafs will become Chicago, but minus the 3 Cups And Nylander is not even a 80 pts guy - yet... D-Boss is the same as Pastrnak - seemed pretty easy negotiations with Holland...I'm sure he's happy to be playing in front of his family, and friends on a regular basis...Can't wait to see him donning the 'C'.

Probably became a Sabres fan...Bet he has a poster of that afro'd-ginger Eichel hanging on the wall over his bed.

The only thing that appears reasonable at this time would be making a few trades in order to obtain more draft picks...Is he thinking about making a pitch for a UFA this summer?

Great win tonight, but it does come with a bit of a concern... In the past several seasons - teams in both conferences had to be 10 plus games above .500 in order to make the playoffs...Now with this funky start - a handful of teams in both conferences are under performing, and the Wings seem to be the polar opposite. I'd love to see them a few games above .500, but honestly I'd hate to see them miss out on a potential top 10 pick for another strong draft in June 2019.

What's that smell? Oh - it's Howard's trade value phermones increasing!

Wow - Glendenning is playing like a true A-Hole...I luv it!

Good question...Given the fact that he'll get $$$ that you'd see guys putting up close to (if not over) 80 pts. Many of his fans will point out that 'in a few seasons when he's scoring 80 plus pts - he'll be a bargain'...Alrighty then. In the end - as others have mentioned - I just don't see him remaining a Maple Leaf when considering Matthews, Marner, and Dman Gardiner will all be up for new contracts.

On the fence to be honest. Which of these 2 has a larger upside to their respective position? How many 'quality' D prospects to we have when compared to our forward prospects? Willie might be the better player right now, but I could see Cholo improving his all around game, and be a legit top pairing Dman in 3, or 4 years from now. If I had to answer right this minute...I'd say NO - why?.. Cuz Willie comes across as a selfish little prick who wants the $$$ he hasn't earned just yet.

How did I ever miss this gem of a post

Makes you think what the game at the NHL level will look like 10 plus years from now?

And I'm certain that guy was 100% serious...That straight face, and zero hesitation means he's been thinking about this long before he was asked.

He'll be snorting lines outta a porn stars' booty crack in no time
