Rivalred

Oh do I miss that man...

If memory serves me correctly, part way through the season last year players were complaining of sweating even more and it would run down into their gloves + the material was ripping way to easy during scrums and fights so they were in the process of working on a new better material than originally released - that is the last I heard or read...

Agreed.... Our D puts up a lot of points - What is not to like about a defensive minded team that can put up great number - 2 way players get it done... The great D creates turnovers and odd man rushes that lead to scoring chances which leads to goal scoring... Not to mention those beautiful out of the zone passes...

Could always induce labor early...

Hossenfeffer - it works great with Dallas27's carrot

Exactly - hence the arbitration and the ability to avoid it by resigning him before - by him filing it was meant to deter other teams not to sending contract offers - basically so other teams got the message to back off... The arguing that is going on in this thread of late is between let Flip walk because fighting is more important and then others are saying scoring is more important as fighting is dead... - Which it all boils down to - how much is he going to make - and then how much does Holland have left over to sign the rest over players like Cheli and company - which they will have to wait like the article stated... At this point it is a waiting game and anything additional we can get out of it is a bonus - as the team is pretty much the same except that Drake may retire, Downey ??, and Hasek retired... The Hossa addition was a big bonus may I add... I digress... Thread is about Flip and how much he may make...

Honestly I am thinking the game should be on a neutral site 1/2 inbetween the 2 teams who are playing - this way you can draw folks from each team equally and other fans from around the vicinity...

Sergrei Frederev is no way worth 4 million dollars...

Some are missing the point that there are some extra D that can be moved to free up some space and money if need be - Holland has been in this situation before I think and he has all possibilities worked out I am sure... Flip will resign McCarty will resign Downey will ?? - All this fighting is no longer part of the game and scoring is the future is BS... Every dimension of hockey is part of the entire game and puzzle... Let's please be more realistic...

I do hope the weather will hold up....

Sign before Arbitration: 1.5 - 2.0 million Arbitration: 2.0 - 3.0

^^^^^^^^^^ So glad I am dating a Yugoslavian... Mediterranean Region/European Women <3 - Anyone really watch Hossa throughout his career and see how he is with winning face offs? Just curious...

I love our Pavel - but Bure was the man in the day...

I will comment on this like I did before - is Melrose going to run 4 Forwards and 1 D?

Here is another link fro CBC for the heck of it: http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/story/2008...agr-russia.html Jagr is a good player and I wish him the best...

Darren played well when he needed to considering we has not in the best shape - by him working out this summer and conditioning - look for a better performance from him next year...

^^^^^ Look familiar

Which Blake...

Be humble and tread lightly folks - I do not like to eat crow... Nothing is guaranteed in this day and age - remember that... - Remember the saying one has to be good to have luck and one has to have luck to be be good? Think about some of the goals that were scored against the Pens - if those breaks went the other way the Pen's could of won or some other team...

Straws are used for sucking aren't they? - Thank god in NYC their drinks are shaken - not stirred - name is Jagr - Jaromir Jagr... It is a good signing by NY for the F and D...

Eh I meant 1st round - sorry - not #1 over all...

What team is projected to have a top 1st pick next year and needs D? - See where I am going with this...

I really do not remember the members reactions on LGW's here when Bertuzzi and Schneider signed with the Ducks or even when the beloved Fedorov signed with them also....

Party!!!

It was more tongue and cheek - in the past members of the site have criticized certain players... But I do understand the significance of your nationality and heritage - no harm was intended... Glad he is here also and welcome to the site!
