Flames sign Owen Nolan

[Flames sign Owen Nolan]

Great. I didn't want him, but now this board is going to go even more nuts.

I was going to say almost the exact same thing, but you beat me to it, lol

Columbus, St. Louis, Nashville, Chicago-8 times each (4 home, 4 away)

[player list of whos still available]

No I definetly didn't see it either, I would also consider Lang a big name, even though I don't think anyone wants him.

[Post Everytime You Look]

Happy anniversary then !!!

Thanks, if it wasan't such a good message board, I wouldn't still be coming

[Report: Kings sign Tom Preissing]

I saw that on TSN, surprised LA didn't get anyone else. Good deal for them

[Should Sergei Fedorov's number be retired in the future?]

no, its such a rare honor. Sergei didn't do enough

[Blues Sign Kariya]

so now they have Tkachuk, Weight, Kariya. Not a bad team, they should pass Nashville for #2 in the division.

[Scott Niedermayer to retire]

Good, for some reason I don't like Neidermayer. I always pictured him playing for the Avs or the Hawks.

[Pens very interested in Markov]

He doesn't even wan't to be here, so screw him

[Smyth Signs with Colorado]

I was hoping we could get him, instead the Av's do!

[Rafalski a Red Wing: 5-years, $30-million]

I love this deal, great job Kenny! Makin' big news the first day. Hopefully this one works out better then Hatcher

[Post Everytime You Look]

LGW is a sweet message board! Kudos to those who make it great. I joined on this day 4 years ago.

[Markov to the Pens?]

Does anyone have ESPN Insider, to tell me what Markov would get from Pitt (money, years)? I would say from what I have heard (4 mil, 3 years) even though I wouldn't give it to him. Any other sources that say Markov to the Pens?

[Hasek close to re-signing..]

I'd like to see Bertuzzi back but it's not the end of the world if he signs elsewhere. He's a big risk and I don't blame Holland one bit for not wanting him long-term. Back injuries don't just go away, neither does that emotional baggage.

Guerin, Kozlov, and Zubrus are the guys I'd be looking at if something can't be worked out with Bertuzzi.

I agree with you on that it wouldn't be the end if we don't get Bert back. I like Guerin, Kozlov and Zubrus is kind of underrated if you ask me. I wouldn't mind seeing Shanny come back either. Screw Markov, we don't need him. We have Rafalski, Lidstrom, Chelios, Lilja, Lebda, Kronwall and Quincey, which is 7. Forwards we have Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Holmstrom, Maltby, Draper, Cleary, Samuelsson, Filppula, Kopecky, Franzen and hopefully Hudler. This gives us 11. If a team wants to take a chance on Bertuzzi and give him a multi-year deal, let them. We can just get someone else.

He's a kid.

Thanks, now wonder why I have never heard of him

[Official Off Season Free Agent Tracker]

Dick Tarnstrom and Denis Grabeshkov to Oilers

Who is Denis Grabeshkov?

[Schneider signs with Ducks]

Yeah no s***. I went from loving the guy. To now hating the guy in a matter of seconds. Hell, he probably could have went to any other team and I wouldnt be as disappointed. But the Ducks? God dammit, im upset. Never thought I would ever say this, but f*** MATHIEU SCHNEIDER.

amen to that brother, here is the link

[How many here have played hockey?]

I never played when I was younger because I was such a piss-poor skater. Eventually I got jealous of my roommate playing twice a week, so I signed up for the Never/Ever league in Ann Arbor. My first season I did absolutely nothing (0-0--0, 0 PIMs) and we made the championship game, but lost (the officiating was poor enough that the game was stopped so the head of the league could ***** out the refs, and they both got fired after the game). The next season I got new (lighter) skates and I led my team in goals, but we were terrible. Then the next season we got custom jerseys, had custom pucks made up for our home games, and even had a mascot come to our championship game. We ended up winning and it was an absolute blast. I played 1 more season in Ann Arbor and I just started my first season since moving to Madison. 1-0-1 so far! I sliced my hand open on my skate last week...that was sweet.

The highlight of my young hockey career though? Playing at Joe Louis in the CCHA Media Game. I had an assist and we won something like 9-2.

-Tim

You played at JLA, good for you, but man

[How many here have played hockey?]

I've played since I was 5, it started with good old ice skating, then went to the travel teams from K-8th grade, play for my high school team now. Hockey is a good sport, as a player I can enjoy more as a fan.

[Manny Fernandez to Bruins for Glen Murray?]

Manny Fernandez for Glen Murray?

This would be somewhat interesting, but good for Gaborik for sure.

[lecavalier to montreal]

Lecavlier for Ryder + Picks would be a good trade, but I doubt it happens

[Tomas Vokoun Traded to Florida Panthers]

this is really good to see, who do they have now?

[Manny fights breast cancer]

Manny was playing center and got a hatty?

Yes he did

[Brendan Smith]

I like this pick, he is 6-1, 170 pounds, he is gritty and he wears 14. He does too much with the puck, but a great skater. This pick sounds good to me.

I put him behind Quincey, Ericcson, Kindl and Meech. He will be here by 2011 for sure.

[Manny fights breast cancer]

I met him one time at Eddie Edgar Ice Arena in Livonia at a Wings Alumni Game vs. the Livonia Police Department. He was playing center for the LPD and got a hat trick. I got his autograph at the end of the game. Manny is a great guy, and its nice to seem him doing something like this. total class act for sure.
