Sooo this gets 3 games and I am guessing it's the "intent" right? That lovely word we have heard the past few days and even the past few seasons. But how after Bolland spins around, stays on his feet and continues to play does this warrant 3 and the Chara hit none???? Please do not tell me intent.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGLoXMmwzBU

Digging this. Just all the names that are out there for the future, we just may see a great "passing of the torch" type scenario that everyone has been hoping for. This kid fills that one particular role I won't name Excite

Then what the hell are ya doing here, man? Best time of the year no matter what the "prospects" might be.

#52 has that on lockdown.

I'll just repeat myself because this is already in another thread but... I guess this means Stuie's not good to go for Friday or Kindl is being sat and Salei's wife is finally having their child. Any of these could work, it just depends if Raf is coming back.

And this is my biggest problem with him. Hmmmm this is really interesting. Stuie is probably going to miss Friday and can we expect to see Kindl sat or is Salei's wife finally having their baby? The plot thickens.....

freepNo kidding Mikey.

I also doubt it. Santiago has always been a bit undervalued imo. Leyland gave him like weekly chances to prove himself as an everyday guy, similar to Raburn, and it just never really panned out long term. He is still a useful piece though and could fill for Jhonny or Rhymes/Sizemore. Probably just too much of a logjam in the middle infield to make sense of keeping him.

That's twitter-worthy breaking news right there.

Santiago could possibly be traded to the Phillies due to an injury to All-Star 2nd baseman Chase Utley. mlive

Well, thats what I kind of meant. The details of this whole situation coming out is what has really put blacker eye on it. Hearing is in 6 days so we will see.

Meh, 6 of 1 half a dozen to the other. Like I said, they are both awful right now. I am the opposite as it seems to me that Ericsson looks like a dang chicken with his head cut off and plenty of giveaways. Kindl had a huge mistake the other night in PHX that didnt' help the team but to me, Jonathan Ericsson is a 6'5 220 lb. pylon that fairly soon has to go. Kindl is not the answer either, but the way I am thinking now, he is just a rookie and he needs to get the flow of the NHL. Ericsson's time has come and gone.

Well let's hope Stuie is ok after that awkward fall. He did come back out and play after that but that was a gnarly fall. Hopefully he is just sitting out to rest and get treatments.

Also love to see Flip on a wing with Hank. This team sure needs Patty Sunshine back.

And Ericsson has been god awful for the past month and a half. Neither one is really worth having out there but if I had to choose, lately it's Kindl. These lines aren't bad, but what else can we do? There has to be shake ups continuously until they work. Cleary-Pav-Hudler might be worth a look again as they complimented well. We can only hope that the mix up means something.....

In no way was the situation ever a good thing. But with the photos/video coming to light, it has certainly taken a much more negative turn. He truly has a problem.

Win soon rawr!!!!

February/March is definitely epic quote time in Hockeytown. No, this is not the end as there is an entire month of the regular season left and a whole new season called the Playoffs that start mid-April.

And justice served. Not sponsors trying to back out of the league, a bunch of whiney Canadiens fans (ehh well maybe that still), and Chara would probably have had the original suspension doled out... A busted up melon.

Hooray for technology and the interwebz spewing out a million stories about a check. 40 years ago this would have been a normal Original 6 game with a normal injury. Ahhhh, evolution.

Montreal fans acting outlandish and irrational???? UNHEARD OF!!!!

Thought they discussed hockey on ESPN 8 the Ocho.

More coming to light with a dash photo from the cop car as well. Wow Miggy. Deputy: Miguel Cabrera told police to shoot and kill him on night of arrest

People thinking they are sounding like "realists" by posting this crap, only makes them sound like spoiled brats stomping their feet in the middle of a store. Give it up already.
