number9

I heard it was to his appendix. Doubtful he'll be able to score at all anymore.

Well that's too bad. A good asset to our lineup going down. I like Teemu so far, hopefully he can fill Franzen's shoes. Get well soon Johan.

Bad mistake by Ouellet. That's why we take our time with prospects. Minimize that stuff.

I just can't see us pulling this one off. So much truculence out there.

I've been to the Joe with men in colorado jerseys. They never even got chirped at. She shouldn't worry.

OMG TORTS WOULD BE PERFECT IN TORONTO

I think Bab's is pulling the sports psychology long-con. No matter what Weiss does, it's not good enough. Oh you scored 2 goals? Call me when you score 3, 4, 5 etc. Then one day, just when Weiss can't grit his teeth and fight for it at 110% on the 4th line any longer, Zetterberg and Datsyuk both go down with injuries. It's time. First shift on the 1st line Weiss goes coast to coast, performs a triple sow cow, and then rockets the mother of all slappers into the goalies logo pushing the goalie and the puck into the back of the net. Babs lights a cigar behind the bench. At least that's how the colorful story book in my head plays out.

The truth is no one wanted him until he got traded. No one asked for him in the oilers presser thread, and there is no Perron thread. There were no trade talk scenarios involving Perron before the trade in any threads, including the one where he was mentioned to be on the block, "If I had a dollar for every player that gets hyped up here during trade talks, then belittled after he gets traded somewhere else, I'd be a rich man." Fixed: If I had a dollar for every player that gets zero attention here during trade talks, then hyped after he gets traded somewhere else, I'd be a rich man.

Of the 6 you listed only two are post-cap era trade additions. People act like we used to wheel and deal our prospects for players in their prime, but we haven't done that post cap.

I did. There's nothing to spoon feed. There were a few posts mentioning he was on the block but that was it. No one responded to those posts saying they wanted him. In fact, you responded to one of the posts that said he was on the block with how much you wanted Petry, not Perron. But you've secretly always wanted him this whole time right? BS Again with this crap, after you didn't respond to my last post about it.

I saw a fantasy team once named "Teemu's Salami"

Kronwall is clearly a bottom pairing D-man at best. Please trade him for Petry our lord and savior.

Tuzzi

Show me one thread, one post, where Perron was hyped before the trade. You reek of BS.

Blows my mind

Welcome. Hold on to that sanity.

Zeros

First RWC, now this? I'm starting to fear LGW will go down. What's ever going on I hope the best for Matt.

When?

The years of unloading picks will catch up to them one day. They're gonna go to the cupboard for a call up and there won't be anything there.

+ 6!

I think that line is vastly under-appreciated. It's the only line that has been intact all season and consistently worked.

Or you could think of it like "Oilers got worse, and we stayed the same"

Truculence

I think it's interesting that Babs is starting to specialize his players zone starts. A few years ago I remember reading an article about players zone starts by team. Detroit was the closest to an even 50%. Meaning Datsyuk, Franzen, Hudler, Filppula, Helm, Ericsson, everyone, was required to play both O and D. Now we see guys like Luker being used heavily as a defensive weapon.
