Thanks. So he looked into it. He didnt have a trade lined up that fell through. Who knows why he didnt end up trading him. Good thing he didnt though. Everyone knew? Everyone one besides me? Wow, this is embarassing.

We dont win in 97 or 02 without Shanahan, and we don't win in 98 without Holmstrom. Should they both be retired? We are a very different team throughout the dynasty without these players. Heck Holmstrom was even drafted here and stayed for his entire career, as probably the most elite net front presence of all time. Why are you not clamoring to retire 96?

Good, im glad Western didnt destroy his confidence. He needs to be in a league that fights to be successful. Ice those knuckles mikey.

I follow the team pretty religiously. Not heard it. Link or no?

Its in one of these threads. Ken said Zetters will be in the rafters when its all over. Nothing about Datsyuk.

Holland tried to move Howard? First time i've heard this, link?

Defense. Blash thinks AA sucks at it and Riley is awesome at it. Been that way all season.

I agree with you because I think Detroit did overestimate Nielsens value. Never thought he was anything special in NYI, but then the wings signed him and touted him as a great defensive center and shootout specialist, and I drank the koolaid a bit. Hes clearly a highend 3rd line center, nothing more. I disagree with you because I dont blame Holland for trying. Larkin clearly isnt ready to lead the 2nd line and AA doesnt have the defensive prowess to do it yet either. That being said, the contract looks bad just like Weiss. Holland should have kept Filppula.

Dont really know enough about the habs to comment. Retiring multiple players to one number is just ridiculous to me. Ill also say i think its ridiculous to even consider retiring Osgood.

Signed players. Drafted players. Traded players.

Well i guess thats just what makes Devallano Devallano and Holland Holland

Givani Smith, built with chocolate milk

I liked Devallanos take too. But devs head aint on the block. Havent seen one posts/thread/headline suggesting he should be fired or step away. Hes got more room to be honest uncle jim, who hands you a barley pop and tells you how it really is. Hollands gonna Holland. Comes with the territory. He represents all of management and thus in a way the franchise itself. Its why we have so many Holland jokes/posts etc. He has to constantly play defense while Jim is off at the water cooler calling Mantha lazy.

Yeah Feds was instrumental to some of those championships... so was Shanahan, so was Murphy, so was Hull, so was Holmstrom, so was McCarty etc etc Being good isnt enough. Winning a cup isnt enough. You have to play all of, or nearly all of, your career here. Bailing for money or mother Russia pretty soundly ends that. This isnt Montreal. We have standards.

Philly seems to be in love with "Flipidelphia" despite Val only having 6 pts and being -5 in 15 games. They are attributing Couturiers break out to Fils presence. I think tampa went thru the same honey moon before realizing how overrated he is.

Looks like Givani played tonight!

Whoa, ok, so is Zetters holding a doggo or a pupper?... or could that even be the elusive/rare woofer?

30 no 91 no 13 no 40 perhaps

Thats clearly a pupper, not a doggo. Know the difference.

I really agree. It is a fitting way to end our stay at the JLA. To me this will itself signify the end of so many things. All the old greats (beside Zberg) are gone. Mr. I and Gordie Howe have both passed. The streak is over. And now the Joe is gone too. Its sad to wave goodbye to so many beloved things, and the last game at the joe will embody that. But mark that date of the last game on your calander. That will be the date that we recognize one era ends, and another begins. We will start in a brand new building, with a younger fresher team, with no pressure to continue the streak that the old boys started. We are free to build a new identity and sculpt a more modern team. Its exciting, and I look forward to it. It's all a bit bittersweet at this point

That would actually be pretty funny

Kickazz is the tiger

He's a big cuddly bear

Haven't followed him much. He doesn't seem to score a lot or get many penalty minutes for a big guy. Do you know much about him?
