Hossa Sweepstakes down to four teams?

[HenrikRules40 14]

Ok you guys are freaking me out...

[Guest CaliWingsNut]

Paint comes with windows.... it's under your accessories folder in the start menu.

Apple has a compareable program.

[Guest CaliWingsNut]

wonder how long it takes for euwin (sp?) to post the rumor that the trade is finished? LOL

[DaWingsin071 4]

Use MSPaint, it comes with Windows.

Any kind of image editing software will work.

Ok sorry for the delay I am trying to figure this s*** out. Ok I have photo bucket. Some one might have to help me with the step by step process what exactly do I do when I am logged in to photobucket?? I have both screens up I just dont know how to get the web URL from the page.

you have to open up mspaint

when you do that

paste what you print screened.

save the image in paint

upload to photobucket.

You guys, it doesn't matter. Even if this poster was telling the truth (and I'm sure he is), anyone could have posted that. The internet is full of people who have too much time on their hands.

Why would Flip be adding friends on facebook? Same thing on myspace when celebrities do this. It's fake. Someone else is doing it.

The poster on here is telling the truth I bet. That is not the issue. The site is a fake.

Once you upload the image, find it in your Photobucket gallery.

Click on the image, and it should appear full-size....Right-click --> Copy Image Location

Paste in on here, but remove the t=834762387 (it will be a bunch of random numbers) on the end of the URL

[HenrikRules40 14]

I don't believe you guys!!!!

*shuts eyes and ears*

[DaWingsin071 4]

Ok I know some of you are getting a lil impatient as well as I am trying to figure this computer s*** out. I do not have MS Paint. I have Photobucket Cant I just some how upload the page through photobucket??? Again sorry for the delays

[rage 24]

It's probably just some kid that created that account!

[dallas27 7]

I'll add Flip as a friend in the meantime

[rwfan007 18]

photobucket needs you to upload an image from your computer, therefore you need to save your printscreen file onto your computer as a JPEG image and upload that to photobucket

[kylee 727]

i need a shower... you guys need to figure this out. ill be back...

[Viperar 16]

lol its fake, flip wouldnt have a facebook that he actually runs

[Lou_Siffer 1]

i need a shower... you guys need to figure this out. ill be back...

You arent the only thing that smells in this thread...

[VM1138 1,921]

I'm telling you guys, it's a waste of time. The guy is probably telling the truth. What will a screenshot prove? Nothing. The account could be a fake.

If it IS true, it'll be announced tomorrow.

[dallas27 7]

It's probably just some kid that created that account!

There are 3 Valtteri Filppula on facebook. One of them is in the Detroit, Mi network. But I also made a facebook for my cat. No offense DaWingsin071. But anyone can make a facebook for anyone.

That's from me earlier. You never know though. Flip is young. He might be down with the whole myspace / facebook scene. Doubt it. But you never know.

No, you have to paste your screen capture in an image editing program of some sort and then you need to save it as an image file and then upload it to Photobucket.

[VM1138 1,921]

That's from me earlier. You never know though. Flip is young. He might be down with the whole myspace / facebook scene. Doubt it. But you never know.

That's possible. but why would he be adding random people? Also, why would he post that he got traded? He knows some of his friends would take this as huge news and it would get out. That would be a violation of trade deals, wouldn't it? Don't teams get the first chance at announcements?

[wingnut22 81]

I have him on facebook too, a lot of hockey players really. But I never really thought it was any of them. Still dont know if I do. But here is what it says.

[MacK_Attack 108]

Of course not. Teams never announce a trade first. It always gets leaked.

[kylee 727]

LOOKS LEGIT!!!

[VM1138 1,921]

1) Look and see when the account was created (if you can). If it's recent, we know it's a fake meant to announce this.

Interesting side note, I don't think that photo is available for anyone to get. That looks like a personal one.

If it's under contract that he can't then the teams do. Otherwise Flip can speak his mind as he wishes. I'm a journalism student. If it's not under contract then Flip can say whatever the hell he wants (as long as it's not libel). It's probably bs but who knows. I added him as a friend on facebook. We'll see.

*edit* Yea, it's fake

I will check. But I know I added him like in September or something
