still thinking about getting Iginla in a trade? think again.

Something tells me he'll be there opening night ... he's dealt with it for years and been a great player. And who knows, maybe the price goes down a little.

 

All that said, I would like to see how this team shapes up before they go moving big pieces for anyone ... but a couple back spasms would not keep me from thinking about Iginla if the price was right.

FWIW Timmy looked like he was wearing #12 in Tronna.

 

 

Somewhere Lee Stempniak is heard saying.........ain't it a little soon?

 

They also had him playing in front of the net on the PP.... and to be honest, didn't do half bad.

They had him playing point on the PP when I was watching... did terrible as usual. But it's a common mistake. Timmy is a half-wall player, not the pp Qb.

Modano retiring.

 

After a long summer of thinking about my future, I've come to the decision that it's time to retire as a player from the NHL. There's way too many people to thank here at this time and too much to say, so I have a press conference scheduled for early Friday afternoon. Check back Friday late afternoon for more. What a great ride it's been!

One of the all-time great American hockey players. They should start making room for him at the Hall of Fame. Probably one of the last Minnesota North Stars to make the Hall.

Still don't like him... Great player.. Still don't like him...

Bruins successfully petitioned for Savard's name to be on the Cup.

I don't have a huge problem w/ Savard getting to have his name on the Stanley Cup even though techincally he didn't earn it - nowadays that no longer seems to matter in whether you get your name on the SC; but that was the 2nd thing I took issue w/ the Strangers winning the SC in '94.

 

Not only did it cost us the coolest chant ever '1940, 1940, 1940' but it also ushered in the era of 'well, you didn't technically earn your name on the Stanley Cup, but we really really like you (hello, Sally Field; is her name on there yet?) and darn it, you are a good guy and it's not your fault you were injured or past your prime or just suck or some mix and match of all 3 and your name should be on the Stanley Cup.

 

Sorry, but if Gilbert P. doesn't get to just have his name on it for how good he was, Eddy O shouldn't be there either. At least 11 actually PLAYED in a Stanley Cup Finals game (or 6); I guess that's really asking too much of guys to be included in the list of players to have their name recorded on it.

 

Also, I really respected the fact that the NHL X'd Peter Pocklington's dad's name OFF the Stanley Cup when he had it included in the Euler's team role call. Pete was just a few years too early.

"Ruffians...you miss the point...last year is done...we are now a new season, most of the troops are back...CAmmalieri is a sniper, AK46 as well...Cole is a nice addition..Gomez will come back to form..Yemelin is going to really give the D a new dimension it was missing... Your Sabres are improved but how many teams do well when trying to buy a championship?? Go ask the Rangers...Were the Sabres missing the TOP 2 D's most of the year last year??? Were they missing a guy like PACMAN who was really coming around?? What you have on paper is one thing, when the puck is dropped it is another...Sabres choked last year when they had the Flyers in the bag...Habs got beat by the defending Champs Bruins and it was supposed to be a 4 game clobbering?? Give me a break...Buffalo will finish by most 6th or 7th...Good luck in your assessments..."

 

"Ruffians...Dream on...when you get a bunch of players and try to win a championship it usually spells disaster...Ernhoff scores a goal on Robert Mayer and all of Buffalo lights up??? LOL...Ma please keep it down...Does Buffalo have a player that has been there before?? A cup ring?? I don't think so...If you couldn't win it last year you think you will this year?? OOOkkkkkkkk......all these years and we see the same results!! ZERO"

 

And this is why the Candiens won't win a cup in the next 20 years... they are delusional.

So some jackass threw a banana at Wayne Simmonds: http://aol.sportingnews.com/nhl/story/2011-09-22/flyers-wayne-simmonds-has-banana-thrown-at-him-during-shootout

 

This is disgusting. There are other reasons to hate Wayne Simmonds (he's a Phlyer, FFS!); do we really need to bring race into this?

 

And I'll note this, too: I think every one of the hockey rink banana-throwing incidents with which I'm familiar have happened in Canada.

Who cares what some Habs fan is saying. If I wanted to know, I would go troll on their board.

Agreed. One of my buddies from Mohrayawl was whining to me on Facebook that Ruff was being a dick for icing an NHL roster against them the other night. Yup, because the Kassian-Foligno-Adam line is totally an NHL line.

 

I told him the Habs just aren't dedicated to winning and am now entered in a bet for a plate of poutine from La Belle Province that the Sabres will finish higher in the standings than the Les Canadien. :beer:

HAHA! I don't know why, but somehow I think you'll be the winner...

So. Who are you paying to get the plus 1's? Or do you just take the $ from one pocket and put it in the other?
