Are you Mindfly's replacement?

And or he's lobbying for the Jack Adams award.

Only this time they're in a much better position for a playoff spot.

Eaves undoubtedly crossed my mind, don't get me wrong. I just think Babs likes the way the Helm line is when they're at their forechecking best. The line might be the best on the team at maintaining possession of the puck because they all have great speed and work ethic. He might not want to break that up. At the same time, Babs is looking for someone with size who can retrieve pucks and stand in front of the net. They've always like Miller for sometimes seemingly inexplicable reasons as they would move him up instead of Eaves at times. He has good height and has played the net front role last year and was good enough to be a stopgap. But we shall see tomorrow.

Well yes it was meant from now until the beginning of tomorrow's game.

The kid can't even survive in the AHL.

Probably Bert and Miller move up based on history. Bert-Z-Mule Miller-Fil-Huds Drapes-Helm-Eaves Tatar-Abby-Mursak The Abby line will be exciting to watch at first but right now I don't feel as if that will be a terribly effective line once the freshness wears off. You just hope that line can at least prevent goals from happening.

Bedard?

...Act hurt and then get indignant. Just like his team in last year's playoffs.

What about Hudler?

Don't worry guys. Sooner or later Ray Ferraro will throw his weight around the league office and say "You will let my boy score goals in the NHL!" Then the pick will be alllll worth ittttt.

What??? First Lebda and now this guy? What's going on with Burke? He likes soft players now?

Supafly and company will surely chime in on this one. They seem to have a good balance of objectivity and homerism. I look forward to what they have to say on the matter.

Because he's evil and has no soul. I'm not quite who the devil's agent is in the NHL but it's either him or Bettman.

Well yeah but how does one spell "hamblacheapea"? Anyone?

What is that word he first says in that Hanta Yo speech? Something like, "You guys know what a 'hamblacheapea' is?" Or something like that.

Someone's feeling lonelyyyy....

Jarkko Ruutu?

I don't remember that episode. Ah well. I probably should've used that on one of the resident trolls here at LGW.

Yeah we disagree. Oh well.

I know.

No fairrrr. So far away even when I'm in MI.

Ken: WINGS.BY.ONE, GAME, 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mickey: ...BOOM!!!!

I think it's only fair that we expect the hits during the playoffs only. I mean, Kronwall is made of glass already as it is. He once said that in order to be a big hitter you don't have to be 6'4 and 260 but... It REALLY helps if you want that to be a part of your game whether it's the regular season or playoffs.
