Last I heard they had moved Byfuglien up to forward. He is doing very well though

http://www.bellevillebulls.com/BullsSpiritTradeDec9.html He is went from a team thats last in their division to a team thats first in their division.

Big trade in the OHL today with Cory going to a Memorial Cup Contender in Brampton. To Brampton: Cory Emmerton To Kingston: Justin Levac, Thomas Middup, 2nd and 3rd round picks in '08, 2nd and 5th round picks in '09, 6th rounder in '10 http://www.battalionhockey.com/hm/inside.p...a21abc370d7c34f Thats a lot to give up for 1 player who has been slumping a bit this year, although he seems to be picking it up a little lately.

I still can't beleive that Lebda's a +9 !!!!! Thats only 1 behind Dats and Zetts.. He's only 3 behind Lidstrom. That just seems so weird

I posted this in "Prospects forum" in another thread, but its a pretty good article and I figured more people would see it in the main forum http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&a...rticleid=341647

Here is an article from nhl.com on both Axelsson and Larsson, with a couple comments on Andersson. http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&a...rticleid=341647 Nothing but praise for these guys, its really nice to see them starting the year so well. Gives us even more hope for the future.

this one is much better

I would also take a team full of Cleary's and Homer's over Boogaard's or Laraque's.... but I would denfinetly take Boogaard over Kopecky or Maltby... playoffs or not... like Scneider said about "Nuclear weapons"(enforcers)... if the other team has 1 you want to have 2, maybe that has something to do with why he chose to go to Anaheim. Does anyone remember Lecavalier vs Iginla in the finals? Oh wait... I forgot there's no fighting in the playoffs...

Or when Franzen got a late hit from Willie Mitchell that knocked him out cold... Thats when the team toughness came out and they facewashed him... oh wait...lol

So they shouldn't stick up for their teamates because they are grown men??? Let me guess... they will get them back on the scoreboard right? lol That sure did a lot of good against pronger. They really showed him... They shouldn't have went after Lemeuix either? Maybe Maltby should have gave him a good facewash to even things up... Probbie, Dmac and Kocur all scored some huge goals for us in the playoffs.. why... because those are the type of guys that play with their heart on their sleeve. These are the type of guys that we need(will stick up for teamates NO MATTER WHAT, can skate decent, as well as score an occasional goal). I'm all for signing a Boogard type as the 13th forward... Obviously I would rather have another Probert, Dmac or Kocur. But it seems these type are too hard to find nowadays or aren't a priority for us. But if I had to, I would definetly settle for a pylon with fists like bricks. It's not like an enforcer has to score anyway, they just need to be able to skate and not cause goals against, and Im sorry... but having Lilja as our protection just isn't gonna cut it. I don't know who's played hockey and who hasn't but when an opposing player take's a run at your goalie or cross checks one of your star players... and your tough guy beats the crap out of him. It creates a huge adrenaline boost for the whole team as well as teaches the guy a lesson that he can't get away with that bulls***. Maybe Im old fashioned a little, but who really doesn't enjoy watching a good hockey fight? seriously? Its a contact sport played with tons of emotion with players battling for every inch. When that happens there is going to be confrontations which leads to fighting every so often... which is why we need someone who can fight... so please kenny get er done

A full page article in the local paper today. He was traded to the Knights for the upcoming season. http://lfpress.ca/newsstand/Sports/Hockey/...271863-sun.html

He only neeeds to play in one more playoff game to tie the record (247)

Terms not disclosed Great news good to see him locked up. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=210598&hubname=

He better be suspended for that s***... What an ******* Intent to injure, hitting from behind and elbowing all on the same play, should be a minimum 5 games...

agree 100% about Hudler deserving a spot over sammy. Bulls***... Sammy has already almost cost us a goal on the point during the PP. And what has Huds done??? Put up two pionts in his first two playoff games while helping his line sustain pressure in the offensive all the while playing sound defense. Why doesn't he just play Lebda Lids and Scneider on the PP???? Seriously Chelios would be a WAY better choice than sammy. sammy better get his ass in gear and show us why he should be in the lineup over Huds.
