    Kovalchuk traded to New Jersey

    You're obviously biased! Just kidding. Waive Leino.

    Kovalchuk traded to New Jersey

    A WHAT? That's kinda like a goal-scoring playmaker enforcer. Hybrid.

    Kovalchuk traded to New Jersey

    Plus, he's OVERPAID.

    Thoughts on the Four Minute High Sticking Penalties

    Well, usually yes. It takes less to start the bleeding when you hit someone in the corner of the eye compared for example hitting someone on the jaw or neck.

    Thoughts on the Four Minute High Sticking Penalties

    I don't think that solves anything. Let the bleeding guy be on the bench and replace him with other guy? I think the issue here was calling penalties because of bleeding, and that doesn't actually fix it all.

    Jonathan Ericsson Watch Thread

    WTF. I just realised that the guy DID play in the 2006 Olympics and we dominated the whole tournament. Somehow I just don't remember anything of him. Maybe he was a 7th defenseman or something like that, but you can from that he also played some minutes.

    Kovalchuk traded to New Jersey

    Anyone thinking he will go back to Atlanta? "I'm not going to put my home up for sale. Atlanta is going to be my second home probably forever now. It's great weather. My kids in school there. I will be there." - Ilya Kovalchuk "July 1st brings many things. If he is a free agent on July 1st then it's something we can talk about." - Don Waddell This was all just an evil plan?

    I was talking about sniping. GOD! Didn't you guys know Kovalchuk worked as a sniper for the KGB? Ovechkin was in the navy. It's pretty obvious Kovalchuk is better.

    Trim 2 million

    I'd trade/waive Leino, Williams, May and Lebda then pick that 3rd line center. All problems solved.

    Trim 2 million

    Then you shouldn't make that kinda statements. Ericsson still has potential. Bigger players usually reach their peak later than smaller player. Ericsson already has the size, but he can still improve his offensive skills. He also reads the game well enough.

    Thoughts on the Four Minute High Sticking Penalties

    Drunk driving is kinda different. You drink before you drive. In 4min penalty the bleeding doesn't start until you "use the stick".

    Afinogenov is probably also much harder to get.

    Jonathan Ericsson Watch Thread

    Man, how do you remember a guy like Aki Berg? You've obviously studied Finnish hockey. Aki Berg was worse than Lebda can ever be.

    Slava Kozlov back to Detroit?

    I think it's pretty obvious that Holland is going to make a move of some kind. 5th round picks are better than losing your players for nothing in the waivers.

    Which club has the most grit?

    Penalties are more a sign of "lazy and sucks" than "grit".

    Kovalchuk traded to New Jersey

    I agree, but you also have to give credit to the scouting system.

    Kovalchuk traded to New Jersey

    Here are the lines they practiced with: Parise-Zajac-Rolston Kovalchuk-Zubrus-Langenbrunner Pandolfo-Niedermayer-Zharkov Peters-McAmmond-Leblond Salvador-Greene White-Mottau Fraser-Salmela

    Slava Kozlov back to Detroit?

    I think Crosby-Malkin-Staal-Talbot is pretty good. Not to argue against your other points though.

    Slava Kozlov back to Detroit?

    Dunno exactly. Of course ZFB and FDH are also possibilities. Didn't we start the season as Franzen-Datsyuk-Holmstrom as our 1st line? Have we seen Zetterberg on Filppula's wing?
