Hey, that reminds me - what's this season's projection from Jonny Boy? 10 wins? 11?

Mac was pathetic back then. Look this is a pointless argument. I can name more players and your argument will be "Nah" and mine will be "Yeah".

Well, I've heard of people that do but I've never met them. They're probably just tourists from the U.K.

Ville Nieminen.

IMO it's a fact that guys like Downey and McCarty have a effect on the way an opponent plays us. If a player thinks twice about a dirty check on one of our skill guys, then the enforcer has done his job. From memory D-Mac had only one fight for the playoffs but that doesn't mean his presence wasn't known. The other factor was Kronwall. He didn't fight but he hurt opponents and his physicality in open ice was far more effective than any stats could measure. He was so prominent that again, players thought twice when skating through the neutral zone. Without even being near the play, Kronwall caused miscues and turnovers. This is hockey. Physicality will always help a team. You can't just have skill players. Just ask the Flyers.

Yeah that sellout streak will end quick next season when the Ducks are a smouldering pile of turd.

Nice ad - very funny. I used to sell Tuborg and it's big brother Carlsberg. Shockin' beer. Never worked here in Oz. Does it sell in the States?

It's just a topic of discussion. No need to be a wanker about it.

Please figure out where the caps lock button is. That or don't post anymore.

Burkie loves the attention.

So I guess the summary of replies to this thread is: the OP is either stupid or doesn't like to be weighed down by his own money. Which is also stupid.

I doubt we'll get 60 wins. 68 - that's a joke. This isn't basketball. Did you also make a bet the Lions would go undefeated? That's just as likely.

Filatov is pretty ready from what I read. I think giving him a go at less than ten games this year wouldn't be rushing him. If he isn't ready he can spend the season in the OHL and most likely be ready in 09-10. He's a natural talent with a strong desire to play NA hockey. He's pretty big for his age and will fill out a little more over the next few months. One thing's for sure, if he does play in the OHL - he'll tear it up.

Yeah Slurpees are pretty great. Did you guys get the ones with electrolytes? They were sick!

Lilja is better than Finger.

You really think teams would've paid that much for Fabian Brunnstrom?

Well, to say that Naslund is offense-ONLY is an exaggeration but the rest I would have to agree with. Fedorov is worth more to a team. Hey Rival.... nice.

They need to jettison McCabe.

Yeah that's what I thought. Hey D#1Fan - nice avatar. I like.

Ummmm....

Getting JT is luck of the draw anyway.

Beautiful dog. I love him.

You heartbreaker Rabs. You have the poor buggar smitten. Don't stress DKM. I reckon she was just tryin' to make you jealous.

Yeah maybe if he plays some D this season.

Now ya teasin'. Hey Rival, I "hear" those whip-marks on your back are pretty gnarly. Better make sure they don't get infected, bro.
