#2328006 Bruins sign Marchand to four year contract extension.

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 07 September 2012 - 08:45 PM

I'd take Marchand, and his cap hit anyday over the Mule, and what he's got left...

Marchand is just entering his prime; the Mule...What's so great about him again?

At this point in time, I'd take Marchand over Franzen, as well. However, Marchand does a little too much diving and embellishing for my liking.

Marchand reminds me of Pat Verbeek.

Anyhow, Boston is gonna be one of the toughest teams in the league once again.


#2327803 One Dumb move made by each team this offseason

Signing this guy wouldn't be a dumb move for Detroit.


#2327583 So What's Up With Abby & Quincey?

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 03 September 2012 - 01:58 AM

He's our only guy who plays like he's 6'0 or taller

Jordin Tootoo.


#2327271 Redden?

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 29 August 2012 - 08:07 PM

Perhaps you mean, "If NHL 13 becomes reality" then we could have that team. Sheesh.

'Twas more of a joke than anything, my friend.


#2327177 2012 Lockout Watch

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 29 August 2012 - 12:20 AM

Just get something done so we can start the season on time.


#2326927 Bouwmeester opinions? Potential trades? *merged*

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 26 August 2012 - 11:37 PM

Smith will complement Kronwall nicely, screw Jblow.

Ken doesn't wanna part with any of his future Hall of Famers to get him, so I don't even see Bouwmeester as a possibility anymore. Sign Vandermeer and start the season, already.


#2326654 Bouwmeester opinions? Potential trades? *merged*

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 23 August 2012 - 06:54 PM

This thread needs more Jim Vandermeer.


#2326640 Divers Beware!

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 23 August 2012 - 05:43 PM

Kesler
Crosby
Sedin sisters
Brown
Joe Thornton
Setoguchi
Pavelski

I'm sure I'm missing a few.



#2326346 Should Kronwall have to answer the bell for his hits?

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 21 August 2012 - 09:52 PM

I guess he shouldn't have to, but he shouldn't back away from the rough stuff. When you absolutely clock the opposing team's star players, clean hit or not, guys are gonna come after you. Don't just stand there as they all beat on you. He shouldn't be afraid to fight.

If the opposition even touched Yzerman in the '80s, Probert, Kocur, and Gallant beat 'em into the ice. If the opposition even touched Gretzky in the '80s, Semenko and McSorley beat 'em into the ice. Didn't matter whether the hits were clean or not. Eventually, players were forced to answer the bell.

I think it is annoying that a mugging ensues after every clean hard hit, though. Take a hit and play the game. In essence, what that kind of stuff does is it deters clean, hard hitting.


#2325829 Red Wings Sign Jordin Tootoo to 3-yr deal, $1.9M/yr

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 18 August 2012 - 11:53 AM

Tootoo will be a regular on our 4th line. He isn't gonna be getting almost $2 mil/year to play 40 games.


#2325517 Kovalev returning to NHL?

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 16 August 2012 - 01:51 PM

Pass on Kovalev. We already have enough floaters on the roster.


#2322701 March 26th, 1997...The Movie?

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 28 July 2012 - 06:24 PM

Chuck Norris can play Darren McCarty.


#2322443 The person below me game...

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 27 July 2012 - 10:51 AM

No, but upon request, I can try some on and snap a photo or two to post on here :P

The person below me is absolutely, completely, and totally sick of their job.


#2322374 Bottom Six

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 27 July 2012 - 12:48 AM

Its gonna be tough to tell exactly what our bottom 6 will look like, considering Eaves' health. Bottom line is, I like the Tootoo signing and I'd like to see Bertuzzi in a checking role on the 3rd/4th line. He can still put up points, but Nyquist/Brunner are basically useless unless they're getting top 6 ice time. Guys are gonna have to be moved, whether it being traded or sent down to Grand Rapids. We have too many forwards, plain and simple. I can't imagine Holmstrom will be brought back at this point.

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Franzen
Brunner-Filppula-Nyquist
Bertuzzi-Helm-Samuelsson
Miller-Abdelkader-Tootoo
Cleary/Emmerton/Mursak/Eaves/

I can't imagine we're gonna look too much different than this. As mentioned, a couple guys need to go. I'd like another legit top 6 forward, though it would cost us either Filppula or Franzen.

I'd really like to see Abdelkader on the wing on the 4th line, but it seems unclear what will happen at this point.


#2322344 Semin signs one year, $7m deal with Carolina

Posted by Bring Back The Bruise Bros on 26 July 2012 - 09:58 PM

Not gonna be positive for no reason.  Hooray!  A bunch of prospects who have scored 12 combined NHL points and 3 othet rejects from other teams have been slated to start for us instead of an assistant captain from one team and a captain from another who are both nhl all stars in their primes!  Hooray!  Holland says we're good, so hooray!  

Come on.

Semin is now not on our team too!  Hooray!  Who needs snipers and all stars?  Hooray!

Sorry, cant do it.

I'm not happy with the way things look right now, either. However, jumping down Ken's throat after every FA signing is annoying.

$7 million for a lazy, streaky player that has clear attitude problems?! Quit being a cheapass Holland, sign him!

13 year, $100 million contracts for players overvalued on a weak FA market? WTF you doing Kenny?!?!?!

An over-the-hill 35 year old wants a 4-year contract at $6.5-7 per? WTF YOU WAITIN FOR KENNNNNNY?!?! I LOAAAATTTHEEE YOU!!!!!!!

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of having Samuelsson back, especially with a NTC. Brunner is gonna be hit-or-miss. Not exactly confident about him. Keep in mind that the calendar hasn't even turned to August yet. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now and reserve my freakout for when the season rolls around, if substantial moves aren't made.
