Why not?

A Jay McKee or Toni Lydman would also be welcome. Going back a few years, James Patrick.

CC was the answer for Niles in season 6 of "The Nanny"...

Maybe Jack Eichel would be happier being this kind of knight.

I am figuring our young D not named Power and Dahlin to be moved for veteran RHD -- potentially more than 1 player in and out.

My wife is far more literate and far better read than I am, so I need to know these things offhand and where to find them.

Welcome to the board! We have lost a lot of great posters in The Disastrous Decade. I hope they come back when the team warrants their attention.

According to Strunk and White, no. You are correct.

There is the famous 15-0 shellacking of the Rangers by the Red Wings at the Olympia during WWII. Edit: after looking it up, this is it. 23 January 1944.

Now you know why I'd rather go with a 4-headed monster of Pekka-Lukkonen / Levi / Portillo / Subban that getting Georgiev. I dislike his play that much.

No one likes Darlin' as much as I do. You and all your Pissick and moaning. Might an Asp lunge at Cleopatra once?

You mean it's not a case of situational ethics combined with the NHL ignoring every other rule in the playoffs so why not that one too?

Monochrome Waistcoat.

The worst version of Anaheim's uniform is the one I call "Stupor Duck" which has that duck breaking through ice holding a hockey stick and in trying to look like a teal and burgundy Superman. IMHO, it is right down there with Boston's teddy bear, The Slug, and the Vancouver "V".

Welcome to the board!

It really sucks that the team had been so bad and so unlikable for so long that even RJ suffers for it.

I want a DeLuca .500 in April this year too.

My siblings got me 2 tix for Christmas. It is truly melancholy. I am glad to have heard the greatest announcer of my life for 50+ years. I wish the team had been better for his last years.

I think he does what the late Danny Gallivan used to do and drop into the press box once in a while to greet the fans. He deserves his rest and then calling his shots.

Wow. Eakin drops the two most defencively sound forwards the Sabres have that far. He's this season's Vladimir Sobotka.

IMHO, GMKA had him pencilled in as NHL back-up for this season. I hope GMKA has learnt his lesson.

I voted no because I don't know if GMKA can shore up RHD, Goaltending, and good enough forward depth. Even then, the top 8 in the East are head and shoulders above the bottom 8; thus, even if a couple of teams regress, they are still decent. Moreover, you should figure that the Islanders problems are an aberration and that the Red Wings and the Devils will be better too. That makes 11 other teams to contend with.

Sure they were. But the hype around Crosby even annoyed my wife. I remember her saying during the pregame, "why do I need Sydney Crosby rammed down my throat?" That Sabres team needed a 3rd top-9 centre -- which they never got. I always thought the failures of that team were above the players.

Those are very telling statistics.

I am so sick of having had Crosby foisted on me since 2005-6. I love beating Pittsburgh.
