kipwinger 8,527 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 I hope not one team claims him If I were Buffalo I'd claim him, and the next time I played Boston I'd finally pay Lucic back for running over Ryan Miller. Then I'd waive him again. 10 sputman, TheDetroitRedWings, Gordie Howe hat trick and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 No. You stop it. You stop it right now.Although, it might give Weiss a break from his current job - telling Glendening how good he is for 12 minutes a game. 2 BottleOfSmoke and Nev reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,527 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 Clearly Frankgrimes and GMRwings haven't heard the news yet. They're going to be absolutely devastated when their one and only chance to land McGrattan has came and went. Devastated. 1 BottleOfSmoke reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I'd waive him again. Then Detroit could claim him, and pay Lucic back for spearing DeKeyser, then wave him.

kipwinger 8,527 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 Then Detroit could claim him, and pay Lucic back for spearing DeKeyser, then wave him. Then Montreal could.............. Wouldn't that be great? If like 5 or 6 teams in a row claimed McGrattan the day before they played the Bruins just so Lucic could get punched in the face. I hate fighting, but I think I hate Lucic more.

It would be great if they let Shawn Thornton walk and then acquired another meathead in his place. 1 BottleOfSmoke reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a Thornton fan by any means, but Shawn is a much better hockey player than Brian IMO Edited January 9, 2015 by number9 3 e_prime, BottleOfSmoke and kipwinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Sad day for hockey, this league is quickly becoming something it shouldn't be. I hope he finds a place on another team, or a job in the front office somewhere. What af****** league it has a place for rats but no place for great energy players and like Burke said I'm sure all the ******* greenpeace folks are happy now. Of course the softest team - which not long ago used to have the HW champion - in the league willk pass so I'm not getting my hopes up. How the hell does Burke not step in here ? He is the president and should overrule the GM in that case it's a bad day for hockey Edited January 9, 2015 by frankgrimes 2 BottleOfSmoke and number9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
