Did you get the Big Salad????? ha ha, nice pic!!!

on lunch break. . ..

HA ha ha ha Great Thread!!! My name is Pedro Gambia!

I was wondering where the fourth team was in the LAX,PHX,LV division. There is a team missing . . . the Ducks. I thought that it was odd a division with just three teams!

Revolutionary Characters and The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin both are by Gordon Wood If you like US History then you will like Revolutionary Characters!!!

JT - Point taken, I am merely stated that we don't really know what happened at these "fights" (more like slaughters). Whose to say there wasn't other unwholesome activities? I just want people to take a harder look at him, and see him other then just a good individual player (at best, talk to me when he wins something) that can run. And yes sometimes, I stay on my soapbox a little long.

I have never liked Michael Vick. He has never been a "leader" or even a good team player. Having watched a better part of the Falcons' games, I have seen Vick just sit on the sidelines and do NOTHING. He doesn't look at defensive schemes, talk to his teammates, pump them up, NOTHING. He just sits with a doubt founded look on his face! I really ticks me off to see people blindly (sp?) defend this guy. This case is just the icing on the cake for me, its time to get rid of this guy. (don't get me started on Vick's little brother!) Sidenote- If Vick is invovled or a the very least allowing these cruel behaviors with animals, who is to say he is not invovled/allowing other terrible stuff to happen (murder,drugs,rape,etc.)?

Has anyone ever been to an NHL All-Star Game? If so, how and when do you get tickets? In '08, the game is here in ATL and I know that I probably won't have another shot at seeing another All-Star in a long time. I have tried Ticketmaster, the Arena, and even Googled, with no sucess. I know that tickets for events like this go fast. Thank you for your help!

How much where your tickets (if you don't mind me asking)? And what time of the year did you look (early in the season or close to game time)?

I will work on that! It looks like I will be burning the mid-night oil!

Great Idea!! I will have to keep my ears open for those locations. Season ticket holders do usually have one of the first stabs at these events. The company I work for has a box at the arena and I am hoping that I can get in that way <fingers crossed>, but if not I want a back up plan!!

Stick-Home Jersey Johnny C- Away Jersey Problem solved! ~

posting just to post!

New nickname for Flips?? Z-Lite . ..Any takers???

Da Na Na Na NA . . . They say it is your Birthday . . . Happy Birthday to you!!!

I know, I am trying to go

I couldn't agree more! Why not Yashin, he is a risk, but so was Hasek, Chelios, and Bertuzzi. Give him a chance to play on a Cup-contender, and let's see what he does. If he is lazy and doesn't produce, then I will eat crow!

Wendall Clark!

ESPN did a story about this book some months ago. Looks like an interesting book and I am going to buy it off Amazon when the prices come down!

Here is the link: http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=212941&hubname= I am not sure if I needed to start a new thread or put it here . . . so here I go . . . Do you all think that the Lowe (GM from the Oilers) was in the right making an offer sheet (since those are a big no, no) to Vanek? Or do you think that offer sheets are ok as long as they are long term deals?? Thoughts?

Dats/Zets/ homer Flip/ Grigs/ Huds Draps/ Malts/ Cleary Kopecky/ Sammy/Franz Lids, Kronwall Rafalski, Lilja Chelios, Lebs I really would like to see the FGH line in the begining of the year. I would like to see if there is any chemistry. If not then, maybe shaking things up a little bit: 2nd --> Flip/Sammy/Franz 4th --> Kopecky/Grigs/Huds or some other variation I think that our 1st and 3rd are set, with exception of giving Cleary a shot on the 2nd line.

Sorry, for being optimistic. Players who you would not normally think off do set up in big games (ex. Cam Ward and Dewanye Roloson), IMO Hud's has the potential for those moments. *shrugs shoulders* GIVE HUD's MINUTES!!!

Yes and No. Yes, he could have been because he brings playmaking, goal scoring ablilities, anc chemistry with the team, where IMO Kop's lacks due to injury/# of games. (2 assists in 2 games vs. Calgary) No, b/c his minutes would have been to low. Just so I don't sit on the fence, IMO I felt like Hud's could have been a difference maker. Someone needed to shine in the Ducks series and no one did. Maybe because that person was benched/scratched. We will never know, but he could have been a piece to the puzzle in beating the Ducks.

Great signing!!! Here's to 25-30 goals this season!!! Wings w/ Huds > Sharks Wings w/o Huds < Ducks Before everyone jumps on me about how we were w/o Schied's too, and other people didn't step up in the Ducks series. I just though that Kopecky didn't add anything (creativity, goals, grit, anything). He had 6 PIM and -1 (+/-). At least Hud's would have been drawing penalties instead of taking them! With the minimum time Kop's was given, Hud's would have at least created something. I just don't see how someone who is coming off a major injury can be better then someone that has been with the team for the better part of the season. *stepping off soapbox* Edit: I like Kopecky, don't get me wrong, just not if it means scarficing Hudler!

EH, your right, I think that the reporter was trying to scary Igor a little bit. BRING ON THE PITBULL!!
