    Lidstrom isn't thinking retirement

    You're saying he should be paid less than Homer gets paid this year. And Flip. And Cleary. Not to mention Rafs (and we can prolly agree he's overpaid, but still worth at least $2m/yr), Kronner, and Stuart. You're saying our captain, who is still a top 10 d-man in the league, should be the 4th highest paid d-man on his team and the 9th highest (pending free agent signings) player. That's ******* dumb.

    You are quite wrong.

    Leino to Flyers for Tollefsen and a 5th Rounder

    Yep. He's had a rough year, but he's not the garbage some people make him out to be,
  7. I don't care that he was ***, it's just that that is the only son of Burke I knew anything of and was seeking clarification.
  8. Not to be the ****** who labels people by their sexuality, but was this his *** son? Either way, terrible loss, and I wish hi sfamily the best in their hour of need.

    It's RIGGED

    But it did affect play. In a very big way. I think that refers to accidental contact. In this instance, he intentionally took his hand off the stick, swiped at the puck, and redirected into the net.

    Mueller

    Well, your qote got dropped, but... Leino, Meech or Lebda, and a 3rd? I'm not sure his contract, but would this help our cap hit when people return?

    Do we really stand a chance?

    No way. The end is near. Invest in gold. Stock up in food and ammo.

    The West Keeps Winning ...

    Because this team is not "not very good". This team is actually likely to make the playoffs (hint- a team ahead of us went into firesale mode today). No, we are not playing the kind of hockey we are all used to, but we are used to dominant teams. We don't have *that* anymore. And it's not the "injury angle", it's the truth. It's not an excuse. I'm not absolving the season. But when you are second in the league in man-days lost, and most of those days are on higher end talent, it affects your performance. Do I think we'll get out of the first round? Meh, we'd need a favorable match-up and some luck. I highly doubt we continue our streak of WCF. But I'm not gonna write this team off. I know what these players are capable of. I can honestly say I would not be surprised if we were in the conference finals this year. I'd never gamble on it. It's not probable at all. But I wouldn't be surprised. So, you can be all defeated... in February (though you phoned it in in December, if not earlier) and that's fine. But to pretend the season is over and we should all go home is ridiculous.

    The West Keeps Winning ...

    No, you just like being uber-pessimistic. While we aren't playing like we have had for the past 15 years, if not for injuries, we'd be sitting about 4-5th place. You just like being dour. I bet you are an emo kid.

    Positivity is frowned upon at LGW.

    How 'bout Lidstrom!

    He's been on a roll. Here's to it rubbing off on a few other people!

    With Homer returning Sunday, who's the odd man out?

    Failed comparison. McCarty left as a free agent and used up his good will when he got a chance to come back. Malts has been here for 14 years. He's not gonna be traded or waived. He might spend the rest of the season in the press box, and Holland may gently whisper to him that we're not going to resign him and offer him a coaching position, but he's not going any where.
