No she didn't, lets get real here. He assaulted her first by grabbing her and lifting her into the air. It'd be one thing if he just said some flirty type stuff to her and she hit him, but he physically assaulted her in the middle of a fight and that is is prompted her to slap him.

Thats not what his agent says; "Asked if there is any way Nabokov could wind up in Detroit after another club claims him, his agent, Don Meehan, said on Friday, “Anything’s possible, but not likely.” Meehan said Nabokov will play regardless of where he ends up, nixing speculation that he would sit out the season if he were claimed by a club for whom he did not want to play. “He wants to get visibility for next year,” Meehan said."

I am still wondering who Kenny was doing a favor for with this Nabokov deal, or what the reasoning was behind it, because it was obvious from the jump that he was not going to clear wavers. I'm still hoping Kenny has something up his sleeve and this wasn't just a random shot in the dark...

But how many teams would have thought they could get him for just over a half mil before this whole thing?

I assume they meant "season" and not "year", because Nabokov hasn't played overseas this year either.

I may be wrong, but I think the waiver order is based on standings. So Philly and Vancouver would not get a chance to claim him since they are ahead of us in the standings.

Totally different situation. If you recall, the Toronto war room did rule the May goal a good one, but LaRue played the "intent" card and refused to reverse his on ice call, despite that.

Do you have good or any insurance? I had two seperate friends of mine in the past decade or so that have been hurt playing pickup hockey. Like, no insurance, f*** your life over, set you back a decade finance-wise type hurt... Zetterberg, etc., when they catch a lower back injury, they immediately see the best physical therapists, chiropracters, specialists, etc. money can buy. If that happens to you though and you can't afford what I mentioned above, you're looking at tons of pain before an often times eventual and inevitable lower back surgery which will set you back well over $10,000. Like I said, this has happened to two seperate friends in the past decade or so. Just be careful if you don't have good insurance...

I just came here to see if anyone else asked the same thing, lol. I think he did.

Cause he's black, eh?

OK... Now thats f***in hilarious!

Whether we get Nabby or not, I'm sure Holland has a plan. Or else, he wouldn't waste his time with it.

Haha, yeah, he did sound a bit salty over the possibility of Nabby coming over. At least in those quotes they used.

Me either. You learn something new every day, I guess.

Gonna do Hopslam and Double Trouble tonight, to see which comes out ahead. Maybe not 100% fair since DT had been out a couple weeks longer, but oh well. Hockeytown, you seem to be a big SA fan. Have you tried Noble Pils yet? If not, you definitely should. IMO, its the best beer they make! Just came out a couple weeks ago too, so its good and fresh still.

WTF is the deal with all the haters singling Z out? You don't see multiple rants about all the dozens of other players that asked not to play. Motherf***ers just LOVE to hate on the Wings.

Yeah, I always found the articles around the time he got signed hilarious, with writers saying Detroit made a big mistake letting him go, and the Wings fans would be upset, and he would help Toronto win them the cup. Its like Toronto fans and writers are delusional and completely unattached from reality. I know a LOT of Wings fans from all over, and not one of them was sad to see Lebda go.

Haha, no doubt. I told myself yesterday I'd only drink 3 or 4 during the game, but ended up killing a whole sixer. Had to remind myself to knock back a few pints of water before I went to bed, so I didn't wake up with a headache, lol.

Yeah, when they showed it during the game, his hand looked pretty f***ed up and swollen as s***. This sucks. Its deja vu of lsat year. f*** this s***.

If you haven't had it before, be careful! lol I joke about that because it is easily one of the most drinkable beers I have ever had. Not only because it is so smooth and delicious, but also because the alcohol is so well hidden that you can knock them back like a session beer, and before you know it you're drunker than you wanted to be.

At least they acted like men and said "we made a mistake, and will take whatever the punishment is with no objection" instead of whining and bitching about it.

Word, son. I grabbed a sixer today too! I walked back to the beer section at the store I stopped at, and they literally had a wall about 6 feet high and six feet wide of Hopslam stacked up. I could see a halo around it shining like an angel. What a glorious sight!!! Drink up while its fresh my friends! :beerbuddy:

Nik is my age, and this only reminds me that I turn 30 this year too...

Can't wait for Hopslam to drop!!! Any day now... Even though its expensive, and I'm broke these days, I can never resist picking up at least a sixer when it comes out each year. Just too delicious not to.
