At this point, it looks like the "tagging" room might not even be an issue. http://tsn.ca/blogs/mckenzie/?id=224549 Ducks only need to free up $880K and that might not even necessarily be the case, considering the cap is supposed to go up again next season. Thus, Burke DID save a substantial enough amount of money to get himself under the cap by Niedermayer sitting out for a third of the season. If he hadn't been suspended and the Ducks were on the hook for his whole salary, THEN they'd have a cap problem.

I've crossed out the ones that I don't think are realistic, only because of inter-divisional trades being a rarity. When they actually become UFAs, perhaps, but not before then.

And thus why Burke is a whiny hypocrite. Big part of why this whole situation pisses me off. Hey, might as well, since it's apparently completely within the rules.

:rotflmao: Where is that from? I know I've heard it before...

I think we all know that Yzerman wouldn't pull that garbage. Completely different situation. Burke and Niedermayer colluded to bypass the salary cap. Unless you're saying that all this time, Niedermayer was seriously injured and no one knew about it? I would. I wouldn't want a piece of garbage like Niedermayer on the Wings. He clearly doesn't think about the team. Bogus "suspension" to save a few bucks, ridiculous press conferences to state that, "Der, I dunno yet" and relinquishing the captaincy to one of the biggest goons in the league. Nope, I don't see a problem there. We already knew that Burke is a piece of garbage. Stands to reason that it rubbed off on ol' Scotty. Am I bitter? Yeah. Because I know that if ANY other team in the league pulled this garbage, Burke would be pissing and moaning all over the place how even though it's "technically within the rules, it's still not fair". Hell, we already saw how he did that with Lowe.

Looks like a wig to me. Though why someone would want a mullet wig eludes me.

The hilarious thing is that if Niedermayer DOES come back, they'll effectively be over the cap for NEXT season (for which Niedermayer said he almost certainly won't be playing), which means they'll have to trade off Schneider, MacDonald or Beauchemin.

I have a Shanny jersey with the same problem. If there are any definitive solutions for this, I'd love to hear them.

Big surprise. Too bad he's lost just about everyone's respect by playing this game. I'm sure his son's gonna love it too (he's been coaching his son's hockey team). Friggin' piece of garbage.

Three Stars: #3: Chelios #2: Datsyuk #1: Zetterberg

I'm surprised Begin didn't just lie down on the ice like he was dead. That would be par for the course. Good win. Dom's back over .500 too, so it's a first step. Didn't have a whole lot of work, but he made some great saves.

PAIN TRAIN! Begin needed to be smacked around.

I think that qualifies as a cheap shot. Blindsiding tackle fits the bill.

ZATA SCORES! That's justice.

Suspend him! Suspend him!

Holy s***! That was Dandenault!

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?!

Knock on wood here, but don't the Habs have the best power play in the league? Or did I mis-hear that?

"In Soviet Russia, puck shoots you!"

I love Datsyuk.

Thankies, loo. Works like a charm.

There a feed online for this game? I only ask because my DVR's about to record Reaper and House...

Eep, that almost sucked.

KRONNER!!!!
