If it was Art Van, it would be the Art Van CLEARANCE Centre.

I like this trade. Philly gets a young, talented player and Toronto gets some good picks. He's only 24 and a known commodity. I like it.

Ask Pat LaFontaine, Bobby Orr, Mark Tinordi, Keith Primeau, Eric Lindros, Mike Bossy, Cam Neely and Mario Lemieux what it feels like to have to give it up due to injury. All of them but Mario pretty much sucked it up and admitted that they had to hang it up and move on. And Mario gave it a damn good run once coming back. This guy had been 7 years out of his prime and just needed to realize after comeback attempt 4 or 5 that it just wasn't going to happen for him. In 2008 he played 9 games. Missed 9 games injured. Modo last season, (08-09) 3 games. Just got to know when to say when. Ok, feel free to continue your Forsberg man-love. I, like Peter, am out. But I might come back.

Sorry, but I have NO love for that guy. If he had gone out properly....accepted that his career was over, and he couldn't do it anymore, fine. But for him to Favre it up for the last 8 or so years, I'm coming back, well, maybe, play 15 games here, 9 there, quit, come back, quit, wait 9 months then come back again, just give it up already.

To everyone who thought I was full of it for suggesting that the million dollars was money down the drain, and that he would not come back and "dominate" like he did in his 3 games for Modo, I only have one thing to say.... I TOLD YOU SO. BYE BYE PETER.

How is that not a penalty on Helm?

YEAH BABY.....DRAPES!

As long as we are eliminating 1 player off each team, Pierre, can we eliminate the "between the benches announcer" position?

Broke his stick? Damn....I guess I've gotta call that....(ref raising arm)

Lucky #13!! PAVEL

Did Salei just throw a center ice shoulder check? (rubbing eyes)

These Geico caveman commercials are just a total embarrassment.

What's sad is that the opinions of these 2 buffoons are what's being fed to "America" in their Sunday national broadcast. Can we get someone who isn't a total moron to be on these broadcasts?

Brett Favre doesn't like pre-seasons either.

I thought they were pretty high on Skille. I haven't seen or heard much from Frolik for a while...but the fire sale is on in Florida! Pack em up and move em to Canada!

The Predators always make us look bad, because they are younger, faster, and skate every shift with more desire, which is the most noticeable thing. I think everyone on this team thinks the next line will pick them up when they don't give 100%, and on nights when no line can get it going, you get nights like this. Horrible.

If he was "dedicated to the game", why does he wait until the season is 3/4 over to decide to make another comeback? Why can't he come to training camp like everyone else? So many of his seasons have been 9 games, 15 games, 3 games....I call bulls***.

Not to mention the Avs only have 11 home games left, and he is expected to make his debut later this week, and 25 games left. Right on course.

If by "domination" you mean these IMPRESSIVE stat lines for the last 2 years, then I guess it's easy to dominate in your mind. Modo: 2008-09 Modo Hockey Ornskoldsvik SEL 3 1 2 3 0 2009-10 Modo Hockey Ornskoldsvik SEL 23 11 19 30 66 That's right, THREE games played in 08-09, and TWENTY THREE games played in 09-10. Not exactly full NHL seasons. And his last few stints in the NHL - 06-07 lasted a whole SEVENTEEN games with Nashville, where he had 15 points. The last season where you could even use the word "Domination" was 05 - 06 with Philadelphia, where he played 60 games and had 75 points. He hasn't played for the Avs since 07-08!!! (a whole 9 games) Yeah, dude has been injured. But I hardly consider this domination.

I realized I was holding my breath there for about 40 seconds. When the horn blew I exhaled.

Miller hustle!

Nick's gonna need oxygen.

AGAIN??????????? That ******!

Oh for God's sake.....how did THAT happen? Eriksson AGAIN?

I have Dubinsky in my fantasy league so it's a mixed blessing....just hold that one goal lead and it'll all be OK.
