You'll always be a young woman to me: I would always play on the little league all star team with Pat LaFontaine while growing up.

I guess he's a hoarder then. Someone from that show needs to come over and clean that place out. Regardless of the particulars, or the semantics, it was not a good contract. I've been a big Holland defender and Sammy defender, but it's getting ridiculous . Nobody wanted Samuelsson so why pay him 3 million a year with a no trade clause? Did he not know the salary cap was going down? Did he not know players down on the farm are ripening and getting ready? Nobody wanted Tootoo so why pay him so much? Except for the first line, we are playing like crap. We are a one line team with one good PowerPlay unit. It's too bad we are eking out victories because that lulls them into thinking we are playing well enough, Takes any urgency out of the situation. So tell me, if no one else wanted Sammy, then why 3 million and and NTC, instead of 2 million without an NTC? Call it what you want, Holland moves like a sloth. The question stands; how bad would it ever have to get before Holland pulled the plug on Babcock?

Easy there, Turbo, I'm referring to the contract term and ntc.

Aflac?

I am really starting to worry about Holland. If he is this loyal to Sammy, what's it going to be like when Babcock starts losing? If Babbs keeps Tatar on the bench much longer, I'll be ready for Blashill.

I actually do think Edmonton could benefit from his veteran...well, I hesitate to use the term leadership... But they could use a guy who's been there, done that, won that,with some of the best players in the league. Poll; Who will get out of jail sooner? Kwame, Nyquist, or Tatar?

I see the nickname monster comes from all the monster rebounds he gives up. Holy crap.

It's time to scratch Mule and put in Tomas Tatar.

Condensed Olympic year schedule. You obviously did not get that memo. 🙈

The NHL never misses an opportunity to fuel the conspiracy theorists, that's for sure.

Well if I'm dreaming, then I'm on Datsyuks left wing and I am as big as Bertuzzi and as fast as Helm, with Z on the other wing, Lids and Vladdy on the blue line in front of Hasek. That's my Red Wings Dream Team

Just saw "League of Denial". Holy crap.

He's not on the stats sheet. Is he injured?

Doesn't appear to be a typo, what's the deal with a Monday matinee? Making room for Tigers and Red Sox that evening? That's 10 AM out of here. I'll be having second breakfast and watching the game. Ha ha

Mmmm. Crispy bacon, eggs over easy with shredded Mexican blend cheese, a perfect complement to The D2Z goal.

Thanks for the explanation, but that is the part that I did understand. what I did not know was that the liability stayed after the player was traded

I do expect Filp to flourish in Tampa as he will have less responsibilities and more often be able to put himself into scoring position.

No, I did not realize that. And I don't understand how there can be any such agreement. It sounds absolutely ridiculous. That wouldn't be a trade at all, it would be like a glorified wife swap where you are stll legally married to the wife you want to be done with. Wtf?

I know, sorry, mine too. I just like saying " a nooner , only sooner".

Last nights game was the first time I've watched baseball since ... Maybe last years playoffs. I'm always blown away by how agonizingly slow the game moves. Last nights one run nail biter seemed to move even a little slower than tonight's game.

Seriously, is that the only line you read?

Nyquist and Tatar are our scoring wingers: they will more than make up for Franzens goals.

Can't afford to stand pat while the clock on Datsyuk and Zetterberg is ticking, Especially with the logjam keeping Nyquist and Tatar benched. Move Franzen and Smith now and we will effectively replace Franzen with Nyquist and upgrade Smith with Edler while getting potentially a solid power forward that can take over when Bert retires And again with the logjam upfront, there's no need to depend on Kassian to contribute right away. If he does, it's a bonus Nyquist makes Franzen obsolete, and Edler significantly upgrades our D and O. No sense in waiting for Smith to develop. Our future is Ericsson DeKeyser Sproul Oullette Lashoff Kindl Almquist . Edit: so if he is not getting it done now, no need to keep him around for the future. This is that one move we need to really unleash the potential on this team. Gillis is in the same position. He can't afford to stand pat while the clock on the Sedins is ticking.

If Franzen is going to be on the third line I would like to see him with Andy and Tatar. Smith is too mistake prone at this point for the second pairing.

[quote name="Crymson" post="2444018" timestamp= What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? If you eat 2nd breakfast, then you can skip lunch for a nooner. Unless you have a tenner, then you go ahead and eat lunch. I'm sure you know what a nooner is. And of course, tenner is a nooner, only sooner.
