Yep just saw that about Jarkko Ruutu guess reports out of Pittsburgh about no one liking the coach were totally false they seem to love this guy. Penguins = Titanic they are going under will not make the playoffs next year.

Hossa wanted to come here at the trade deadline Atlanta did not bit. Handshake at the end of game 6 what did he say to to wings? This was a done deal I would say at 12 pm July 1st just had to talk money and incentives. He wanted to be a WING I do not think he listened to the other offers except from Pens maybe. But my gut tells me this was going to happen us Ken's know these things

I like it he was loved in Toronto and only left for a chance at a cup but I think this is a good fit for both. (if it truely happens)

The only replacement for Lidstrom is they legalize cloning then we could have 3 Lids 2 Vlads and a Orr.

this is an evil proposition let me get my evil laugh going muh muh muh muh. Ok let's make it happen Captain. 1.) rules a.) all plays at the net are reviewable waved off or not. (name it the Ohalaran rule) b.) allow the goalie to play the puck in the trapezoid area just not let him enter it. c.) remove the Avery rule it was clever thinking and all Brokeback I mean Brodeur had to do is slash him and that would have ended it d.) intent to injury ie knee to knee 10 game suspension 1st offense and so on... e.) keep current change above 2 including rules addressed or added this off season already. 2.) Conferences and Divisions (bringing history back to the game f'ing lawyers) a.) 2 Conferences named Wales and Campbell b.) 3 divisions in each Norris, Smyth, Patrick, Adams, Richard, and Howe c.) Top 2 teams from each division makes playoffs with 2 wild cards or current format (let owners vote which is best) 3.) TV Contract and Broadcast and Media press conference a.) Bye Bye VS. hello a year round contract with Fox Sports including playoffs (it is on Basic easier for the fans) b.) attempt to be able to broadcast HNC on the NHL network (brings me to why the hell do they have an NHL network if they only show f'ing reply games. c.) Try a game of the week on NHL network d.) We may not put baby in the corner but we will not longer be putting Mcguire between the benches no more talking to the coaches during stoppage of play. e.) Press conferences injuries will not be released to the public period f.) request for players at news conferences will be requested prior to the game with subs in case of injuries during the game. g.) (toss up on this one) let the kids! play NHL players will no longer participate in the Olympics. I could go on but your either bored by now or trying to knock the soapbox out from under me so I will just step down from the box.

Melrose does not deserve another coaching job. He can claim all he wants that he took the Kings to the Stanley Cup. I call shenanigans on that, Greztky and Hrudy took them to the cup and then what happened to them in 93-94 27-45-12 and 94-95 16-23-9 Then release by the Kings to join ESPN. He has not coached a game in 12 yrs. Again he is inheriting a talented offensive team that he will send into a Tailspin once he is through with them. He belongs back in Glen Falls and out of the view of a microphone just another broadcastor in love with the sound of their voice

Actually Patrick Lalime

Nope he is damaged goods, like the last Ottawa goalie whats his name? yep exactly

Ok I have already been laughed at when I have mentioned this to a buddy but I would like to see Shanahan and or Fedorov back for a another round after Yzerman and Lidstrom they were favs. Top priority this off season is shoring up our own players Stuart, Fippula. Lilja don't care if the sign him or not Cheli would nice to keep but they need to trade Sammy he turns the puck over to much. Maybe trade him for some extra picks for next year so we have some playing room at the trade deadline in '09.

No Cujo will not be back in the Winged wheel. I know there were rumors of a trade with Buffalo for Miller but that has been dead for sometime now if the wings do go for a vet in goal they will probably go with Patrick Lalime, Jocelyn Thibault, or Kolzig.

First I would wake up early and go golfing with my father and a few friends to share the cup. Then to Sharky's bar and grill for some grub and share the cup at the watering hole. Then to Lake Fenton drive around the lake with a few friends on the boat. Go back to the house have all family and friends stop over to share in the moment. Then at night hit some clubs with the cup.
