Bring Back The Bruise Bros

I agree with this totally.We just didn't have it this year.

Although i wouldn't mind Peters here,he's nowhere near the heavyweight of the league,so i don't know where you're getting that from...

That's the knock on Torres is his price range.Brian Sutherby would be a good option too.Won't put up as much points tho.

*Canadiens vs. Rangers-Original 6 Matchup *Maple Leafs vs. Rangers-Original 6 Matchup *Senators vs. Maple Leafs-Battle Of Ontario.Rivalry Matchup *Oilers vs. Flames-Battle Of Alberta.Rivalry Matchup Although the All-Canadian games are unlikely to happen because NBC,if the NHL really wants to promote the game and make as much money as possible,that's the place to do it-Canada.Minnesota could play a divisional foe i suppose,like Colorado?Washington vs. Pittsburgh is ridiculous,it's not a rivalry game.It's just putting the "two biggest stars in the game"against each other.The game is supposed to be a Classic,like an original 6 matchup or a rivalry that's been seemingly going on for years.Pittsburgh-Washington is not what i think of when i think rivalry.It's never been a rivalry.

It would free up some cap space as well.Raffi Torres and Brad Winchester.Please and thank you.

I miss Shanny What a moment

Old time hockey shows itself again

Guess who won't be watching..This is ridiculous.Bettman's gonna ruin the Classic because every team who has already played in one shouldn't be playing in another one.There's better markets that are dying for a chance to host a Winter Classic that HAVENT PARTICIPATED IN ONE YET,such as Calgary,Toronto,Minnesota,New York,Montreal,Edmonton,Vancouver,Colorado,and Ottawa.I will not be watching the Winter Classic if this is the case.

I really hope that was sarcasm. That's what i've been thinking.Wouldn't that be amazing.

i know.Thats a list of like 50.Any of those i'll be happy with.Jesus Kenny just bring rock em sock em back to Detroit

I guess 1.5 million isn't too outrageous.Unfortunately,i think there's gonna be a lot of offers thrown at him come July 1st.Brian Burke will definitely pursue him relentlessly.

I'd say Nystrom for 1 million would be a steal.

Well if Kenny has a hard time signing tough guys through free agency,at least he's drafting a few here and there.

But the problem with that is if the rules were like that,the two stars Gary's trying to market would withdraw from the game,claiming sickness

What about Paul Crosty down in Grand Rapids?Maybe he gets a shot next year up in Detroit?

I'm really a big fan of the possibility of having Chipchura here.Glass can play the game as well as answer the bell.Agreed,i like what Philly is doing.There's just so many options to choose from as far as muscle goes.Kenny has to get the bottom 6 a little tougher.I like Helm and Abdelkader and Eaves.Now i'd like a guy or two that can answer the bell.

Is he unrestricted?Any rumors on if the Wild are still interested in bringing him back?

oops sorry.but yeah i'm just sick of watching us get pushed around.

That's what I'm saying.Supposedly Kenny wants to get younger,so why re-sign Bertuzzi?Same with Lilja.If I had it my way,we would get rid of Ericsson AND Lilja.Gimme Sheldon Brookbank,Let Bertuzzi walk.Gimme a guy who can score and fight.

He would be a perfect fit here.Seems like a good kid.

There's just not enough room to re-sign Bertuzzi,Holmstrom,Eaves,Miller,Abdelkader,and Helm up front.especially with Hudler coming back.I still think we can do better than Lilja.

The thing that makes me nervous is seeing that there was interest in Scott Parse.I just don't want another ***** coming here.

I wouldn't be surprised if they kept him.However,i don't see Scott Walker being re-signed.Too bad he won't make the team any younger

I agree,Brookbank would be the best fit.I'd be happy with any of them though.Strudwick would be a good option,he's a little older as well.Nick Boynton comes to mind,age is catching up to him too.A couple other guys that i left off the list because i wasn't sure about their contract situations were Jay Harrison of the Hurricanes and Jason Garrison of the Panthers.Both are very young,pretty big,physical,and can fight.

Do you seriously think that's what it is?
