Bring Back The Bruise Bros

Good deal for Philly. He's deveoping into a solid power forward. 49 points and 114 penalty minutes (10 fighting majors) last season.

Too bad Mark Fistric didn't go East

1-year deal worth $615,000. He'll be "sick" when Shawn Thornton and the Bruins visit Vancouver on December 29th.

Adam Deadmarsh.

I'm pretty sure. The person below me didn't get the H1N1 vaccine a couple years ago.

If Chuck plays McCarty, its gonna take some serious special effects to have Lemieux's face only have blood on it, instead of a hole through it.

If anything, they got tougher to play against with the acquisitions of Nick Foligno and Brandon Dubinsky.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Guys like Datsyuk, Zetterberg, and Cleary don't seem to mind the city of Detroit. They've been here for years. The city is rough, but its not like any players live on the outskirts of Detroit. The 'burbs are still nice. Personally, I'd focus more on the team than the city in which they're located.

Off the top of my head: *Detroit Red Wings Additions: 1. Mikael Samuelsson 2. Jonas Gustavsson 3. Jordin Tootoo 4. Damien Brunner Subtractions: 1. Nicklas Lidstrom 2. Brad Stuart 3. Jiri Hudler 4. Tomas Holmstrom *Chicago Blackhawks Additions: 1. Sheldon Brookbank Subtractions: 1. Sean O'Donnell *Nashville Predators Additions: 1. Chris Mason Subtractions: 1. Ryan Suter 2. Jordin Tootoo 3. Alexander Radulov 4. Jack Hillen 5. Anders Lindback 6. Andrei Kostistyn (?) *Columbus Blue Jackets Additions: 1. Brandon Dubinsky 2. Artem Anisimov 3. Nick Foligno 4. Adrian Aucoin 5. Tim Erixon Subtractions: 1. Rick Nash 2. Marc Methot *St. Louis Blues Additions: 1. Vladimir Tarasenko 2. Jeff Woywitka Subtractions: 1. Jason Arnott 2. B.J. Crombeen 3. Kent Huskins

Not a ton, actually. The person below me is content with their weight.

You're welcome, I'll be here all week.

He's one of my all-time favorites, but given the holdout in '97-'98 and how he left in 2003, its better that it be taken out of circulation, but it shouldn't be placed in the rafters.

Same here. He's still a UFA. Not sure where he will end up. Dallas again?

Chuck Norris can play Darren McCarty.

Weise was definitely talking to McQuaid, but then Thornton waived him to move back. Weise clearly started talking to Thornton and looked right at him and motioned to drop the gloves while looking right at him. So, while he was gonna fight with McQuaid, he clearly looked right at Thornton and acted like he wanted to drop his gloves. Fail.

Absolutely. The person below thinks LGW should bring back the political discussion.

I'll give your request some consideration As a college student, I need the money, but I can't wait 'till classes start again so I have an excuse to leave my current job. A little bit. I'm doing fine thus far in life. Wouldn't really change anything. The person below me is a worry wart.

It's impossible to like them. Can anybody like a team that has the following players on their roster: Ryan Kesler Alex Burrows Kevin Bieksa Max Lapierre Keith Ballard Dale Weise I'll hand it to Gillis, it takes some talent to assemble that amount of douchiness onto one roster. Honest guys like Manny Malhotra are overshadowed by the antics this team pulls.

No, but upon request, I can try some on and snap a photo or two to post on here The person below me is absolutely, completely, and totally sick of their job.

At this point, the 'Canes look something like this: Tlusty-E. Staal-Semin Skinner-J. Staal-Ruutu Bowman-J.Jokinen-Larose Dwyer-Brent-A. Stewart UFA/Nodl Pitkanen-Faulk Gleason-Corvo Harrison-McBain Ward Peters

Its gonna be tough to tell exactly what our bottom 6 will look like, considering Eaves' health. Bottom line is, I like the Tootoo signing and I'd like to see Bertuzzi in a checking role on the 3rd/4th line. He can still put up points, but Nyquist/Brunner are basically useless unless they're getting top 6 ice time. Guys are gonna have to be moved, whether it being traded or sent down to Grand Rapids. We have too many forwards, plain and simple. I can't imagine Holmstrom will be brought back at this point. Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Franzen Brunner-Filppula-Nyquist Bertuzzi-Helm-Samuelsson Miller-Abdelkader-Tootoo Cleary/Emmerton/Mursak/Eaves/ I can't imagine we're gonna look too much different than this. As mentioned, a couple guys need to go. I'd like another legit top 6 forward, though it would cost us either Filppula or Franzen. I'd really like to see Abdelkader on the wing on the 4th line, but it seems unclear what will happen at this point.

I prefer to drive long distances. Not a big fan of the whole TSA "Can't see France till we see your underpants" deal. The person below me wishes LGW was more active at night.

I'm not happy with the way things look right now, either. However, jumping down Ken's throat after every FA signing is annoying. $7 million for a lazy, streaky player that has clear attitude problems?! Quit being a cheapass Holland, sign him! 13 year, $100 million contracts for players overvalued on a weak FA market? WTF you doing Kenny?!?!?! An over-the-hill 35 year old wants a 4-year contract at $6.5-7 per? WTF YOU WAITIN FOR KENNNNNNY?!?! I LOAAAATTTHEEE YOU!!!!!!! To be honest, I'm not a big fan of having Samuelsson back, especially with a NTC. Brunner is gonna be hit-or-miss. Not exactly confident about him. Keep in mind that the calendar hasn't even turned to August yet. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now and reserve my freakout for when the season rolls around, if substantial moves aren't made.

Wish I could go
