  1. They just have to give up their top prospect each of the next two years.....and Ottawa is about to give up 2 of their top prospects......
  2. Fair enough.....Ott with 2 months of contract left for Stewart and the conditional 1st/3rd is fine with me. Miller for Halak, the 1st, and an ok prospect is fine with me....
  3. The irony is the one guy that could have probably plugged into Stewart for Stl was Ott..... It sounds like Stewart is out of here, but he's a blender of Stafford, Ott and Kassian. 26..... I think the Sabres did very well in this trade.
  4. I can't wait to see Noureen's reaction when she has to fly into the St. Louis airport.......the Ukrainian airport is probably more aesthetic at this point......
  5. I hope he gets to sit in the cockpit with the captain on his flight to Denver next week.........
  6. The Sabres should have fun with it....he plays...has a 0.00 GAA.....then put out a tweet they are looking to trade the best statistical goaltender in the league for Crosby....
  7. If we are up 4-1.....Teddy has to put the backup in with 10 seconds left......
  8. I'm surprised they didn't report it as a 2014 1st and a 2015 1st, and let the conditions leak through the media over the next month...... Oh sorry...meant for the WEASEL thread.....
  9. Video scout walkon....might as well let Pegula suit up!
  10. Tastes a little tinny.....
  11. That's why you have to make it something bigger. If Ottawa is going to gamble on making the playoffs, it is in their best interest to "make sure" they get there....so while they wouldn't want to trade Lazar for a minor improvement in their chances with a guy like Moulson, they would have to think that getting Moulson and Ehrhoff would give them a good shot and maybe even enough firepower to advance. Then you can stomach losing Lazar. Murray already told the papers that Buffalo came looking for him.
  12. Lazar and Ceci are the 2 guys who could be ready for everyday duty in 2 years and play for 12-15 years to me. I hate that I am having visions of sugarplums dancing in my head. I think Murray needs to package guys and picks to get better prospects and you can turn this around in 2 years and be good for a long time. Instead of Miller to Stl....Miller and Foligno to STL for Rattie and Allen. Instead of Moulson to Ottawa...Moulson and Ehrhoff and 2 2nds for Lazar and Ceci. Instead of Ott to Vancouver...Ott and Ennis for Horvat and a 2nd. Myers for Eberle. Then you draft your big gun this year and probably next. 2016 suddenly gets very interesting.
  13. It's sort of like a Darcy half-truth.....he takes the picture he posts on Craigslist in the hand of an 8 year old...so technically the statement is truthful....
  14. Forwards: Lenny Bruce........George Carlin......Richard Pryor Dennis Miller......Robin Williams.....Rodney Dangerfield Don Rickles........Flip Wilson........Sam Kinison Henny Youngman.....Jerry Seinfeld.....Garry Shandling Defense: Redd Foxx......Louie C.K. Eddie Murphy...Chris Rock Steve Martin...Richard Lewis Goalie: Bill Cosby Bob Newhart Healthy Scratch: Steven Wright, Dave Chappelle
  15. This is the most cathartic song I know. Well done.
  16. Tim Murray on the Sabre Wives.... Kim Pegula: 5+ Noureen: 6- Stafford's Mom: 4+ Mrs. Ott: 6+ Oh...and Ottawa Sun had an article with Uncle Murray and said Tim already has tried to pry our buddy Lazar out of there in a deal....pretty much said no way.
  17. That was pretty funny. After a clip like that, I can easily see guys like Myers, Hodgson, Ehrhoff, Foligno, Ennis being moved. Maybe not all of them or at the same time, but I can just hear the scouting report and see Terry sucking on a hard candy with the response of.."..Uh..Huh...." I would like someone to ask Murray what goes into his numbers ranking system. Do the intangibles and grit go there, or just the pure hockey talent? I can see someone ranking on pure ability alone, Girgensons a 5, and Hodgson a 6- ....... but I would think Girgensons is more highly valued at this point. When I scout the ponies, I will give a range where I feel they will be auctioned off at. I may see a horse that is unquestionably talented and good looking, but I just don't think it has "it", and I will put it 150-200K with a + next to it. At the same time, I may see a horse that has less relative talent and may not be as flashy, and I will say 50-85K *** ......I WANT that horse over the other one. The other has a higher ceiling, but I feel the cheaper one is a can't miss. I hear Murray talk of his system and I am not positive how he does it.
  18. It's funny everyone has pets with issues too. I got bronchitis around the new year and it took a good month to come and go. I still don't have my voice fully back because of the swelling, hacking, frigid air, 20 times snowblowing, snoring, booze. The dog was competing with my noises every morning. We sounded like a table at a Jewish deli.
  19. "As a glass half empty kind of guy, I'm going to say where someone is lacking and go from there." "I gave him the truth...I don't know if any of those guys I slammed were his guys, but I'm not going to be politically correct." I'm happy! This trinity of Ted-Patty-TM is Team Stormcloud's gift. The fluff and projecting everyone out to their 110% best-case scenario while ignoring the basic fundamentals of what goes into building a person/hockey player that has what it takes when it matters....safe to say we're done. I swear, the last few months has been like regaining custody of your kids from your crackhead ex-spouse.
