Have no fear,he won't visit here - He's too busy golfing [sarcasm ninja]

So we did win the ?

I thought that O'Neill,McCarty and Foote were bad ideas,but they actually seemed pretty decent when I saw the mother of all bad ideas - Sundin. He's got way too much history,fellow Finn.

Well,Nieminen sucked big time. Huge day coming up,it's heating up especially for the ladies. Nicole Vaidisova (CZE)[14] v. Amelie Mauresmo (FRA)[4] Venus Williams (USA)[23] v. Maria Sharapova (RUS)[2] should be good ones. And both Ivanovic & Jankovic need to win. He'll make it!

The man doesn't deserve to have a bandwagon.

Exactly,overpayment of the century. I guess if he wasn't so injury prone they would've given him 8 million.

But luckily they won the Cup this year so they'll severely lack in hunger,which is the most important thing when tight playoffs games are decided. Selanne has given some interviews here which gave me the impression he'll be back. Nothing's certain,but I wonder if he'll take a big hometown discount now -if he does come back?

Their PP got better with Nylander & Pitkanen,that's for sure.

My friend just texted me and asked why on earth we signed Rafalski,when we could've gotten Tarnstrom. He's a traditional Finn (anti-Swede) and thinks we only sign Swedes. He's a bitter (overpaying) Flyers fan.

He took the title away from Pronger just like that?

We don't need rain today! *crosses fingers* Edit Come on Hewitt & Nieminen!

Safarova's playing great. Come on Jankovic!

Tough question... Scott Clemmensen?

Couldn't pick anyone who hasn't played at the Olympic & World Cup finals?

Nieminen won! Mirnyi couldn't defeat Canas,but I was right about Arthurs. Huge day coming up,hopefully it won't rain: Roger Federer v. Marat Safin (Will be a good one, IF Safin has one of his better days like MSUDoubleJ19 said) Blake & Roddick should both advance IMO. And of course the battle of the tournament so far: Jelena Jankovic v. Lucie Safarova (Basically me vs Aussie_Wing ) Today's surprise winner could be Paul-Henri Mathieu.

Some are,like Vlasic.

Only the LGW'ers / Kenny think so. There are 29 GM's who wouldn't take him even for free. Apparently same "rule" applies with the likes of Kronwall & Maltby etc. But thank God they've been re-signed.

You were right about Molik and it looks pretty good for Safarova too! (Come on Jankovic ) See any upsets happening today? Could Wayne Arthurs pull off a surprise win against Robredo -who isn't exactly feeling at home on grass? Beast Mirnyi victorious against Canas? Hoping Jarkko Nieminen will teach Florian Mayer a lesson today.

And we'd still have money left over! Gotta love Khan.

No love for Venus? Santoro defeated Karlovic-how on earth was that possible? I was disappointed with Ginepri & Fish,I thought either one of them could pull off an upset win.. Today 5' 11 Daniilidou will try to win Aussie_Wing's Safarova (and Molik vs Serena should be a good one too).

I agree that Kindl wouldn't single-handedly replace Schneider. But there are known cases when a young player has surprised everyone by making it to the team. Who would've thought that Marc-Edouard Vlasic would be in the Sharks lineup (and average 22:12 / game) ? Hockey News had him playing for the Sharks in the 2009-2010 season in their prospects coverage! Jordan Staal was a similar case. I guess I'm just asking : Why not Kindl? Is he really that bad?

No thanks to Souray. I'd say that the best replacement for Schneids would be Kronwall AND Kindl . UFA's are asking (too) much these days,this would be a great opportunity to youthen up a little bit. We'd still be competitive IMO. Then we'd also have the $ to re-sign Markov (Or sign Sarich). Kronwall has done amazing things for Team Sweden and I admit that he hasn't shown his best yet in the NHL. I've never really understood why- lack of quality ice time? Get Sammy off the blue line and give Kronwall & Kindl valuable PP-minutes.

I expect him to play at least 60 games,that's all.

You're saying we can't re-sign everybody AND also sign Smyth,Feds,Sarich & Kozzie as well?

:rockstar: Pay-per-view time,$10 for 2 weeks of great tennis! Oh yeah and my favourites to win: Federer (unfortunately) & Jankovic
