Frk has really been throwing his weight around. He's really trying hard to impress management.

Glendening has been playing with a lot of piss and vinegar. I like it.

Mantha looks so good.

*jingle* We here at LetsGoWings.com know that life is hard sometimes, that's why we ask you to come here and complain about everything. It will make you feel better for 7-8 seconds. Welcome, and #@%$ Holland. *jingle fades out* Perhaps they gave him an A to show prospective trade partners that he's, like, a leader and stuff.

I want Hicketts on the team right now. What a battler he is.

I wonder what the players think about all of this. I have a pretty good idea what management and the organization thinks. If he does sign he's going to have a lot to prove.

Rasmussen getting destroyed along the boards.

Yeah I guess. You'd see Maltby jawing at people all of the time, though. Bertuzzi seems tentative and nervous. I'm willing to give him some time to get his confidence. I think he'll be fine.

Glendening swinging them. Dang!

I like Witkowski (sp?) over Bertuzzi at this point. Berts supposed to provide a physical, abrasive element on our fourth line and I have not seem him pay abrasive yet for this team, including last year.

Everyone's played really well so far.

Interesting to see Cholowski on Team Develcchio over Lashoff, Renouf, and Russo.

This is his agent so I assume it's legit.

I can't imagine them taking attention away from the team and building to retire Fedorov's number on opening night. Maybe next year.

Try not to get frustrated about things that haven't happened.

It's OK to be upset at both Holland and AA, people. It's a combination of the two.

It's a dick move, most definitely contrived by his agent. Sure, Blashill toyed with him last year. He's young and cocky, and our coach doesn't like that. Of course he doesn't want to go to the KHL. What Canadian kid dreams of playing in that time bomb? This is to force the RW's hand, and it's a dick way to do it.

Neat!

Man, I wish I could get credit for doing that

Are these the "alternative facts" that I keep reading about? I guess I just forgot about that period, I really don't remember it.

lol "maturing," at 25 years old, like you just turn a switch. And I don't really remember Howard ever being immature.

I don't really want him. He scores some goals once-in-a-while but he's not a game-changer by any stretch. I'd rather see someone cheap from GR in his place. Face it, nobody here is going to be happy next year if we come close to making the playoffs, and I can't imagine anybody at this point thinking we have a chance at getting past the 1st round if we do get in. He's certainly not going to carry us. We need a high draft pick next year. Why pay that much money for somebody (nearly the same amount of money that Z gets) to score a goal now and then to get us that much closer to the ninth seed and a lower draft pick?

I think the Witkowski signing in particular was so Mantha and AA won't have to fight as often. I like that they stand up for themselves, but better to have them out of the penalty box for for 5 minutes. Funny how they signed the guy that broke Mantha's finger in order to protect Mantha from injury from players like the guy.
