    NHL Rejects Kovalchuk's Contract

    Good. That contract was BS.

    Illitch officially wants Pistons

    Sure they can. Ilitch can promise big $ for downtown development to increase tax base for downtown Detroit to the City Council. Give each of the Detroit Planning Member a free Little Caesar franchise and *poof*. Two new stadiums. Why I would LOVE this from a drive stand point, I'm not sure even someone as good as Al can keep the ice in a shared arena as good as it should be for the Wings.

    Wings sign Ruslan Salei

    Damn, this came out of left field. I thought this guys back was ruined though. If he stays healthy and teaches BigRig how to break teeth outta people heads when they're anywhere near Howie/Ozzie, I'm good with this signing.

    Would You Buy A Modano Jersey?

    One of the Top 10 United States-born players EVER to play in the NHL playing on the best team in the NHL? The REAL question here is: Why the eff wouldn't you buy a Wings Modano (#90) jersey?

    NHL Rejects Kovalchuk's Contract

    I agree with you on the softcap/luxury tax, but the contract IS bulls***. .01% of NHL players since the inception of the league retire after 40.

    Kovalchuk Re-Signs with Devils

    Time for a soft cap with a luxury tax. (More power to Jersey for doing this without technically breaking the rules, however.)

    Brett Lebda signs with Toronto

    I don't think the Leafs care much about their fan base....they keep buying tickets, after all. Goodbye, Brett 'Pylon' Lebda, and good luck.

    Ritola, Miller or Eaves?

    Ask again after Training Camp.

    Nabokov leaves the NHL, signs with KHL

    Would've liked to see what he could have done on a team that didn't overuse him in the regular season....oh well.

    Bob Probert passes away at 45

    Unbelievable and sad news. Best hockey enforcer ever. Sad that he went when there are so many s***bags still walking the Earth. RIP Probie.

    Makes sense, they are the only ones whom can afford him.

    I cannot believe that signing. We should all switch to CNN so we can watch people in Calgary raze their city to the ground. As well they should. A LOT of bad overpriced signings....I'm glad we're doing nothing at this point.

    You're right. Penguins have $2,258,333 cap left with 20 spots filled. So $752,778 $/spot. They did a good job. I'm seeing $4,093,663 cap left with 13 spots filled. For $409,366 $/spot. I cannot fathom how screwed they really are....what am I missing?

    Our apartment was just under $2000 a month, near the area where Roppongi Hills/Mori Tower is now. Nothing but insane fun.

    That Sharks move is insane. No starting goalie? Guess Turco will take Philly's offer of $2M/yr.
