Too bad Sabres don't seem to be in the discussion for him. On a 1 year deal, would be very ok w/ Jagr on this team.

 

Hell yea I'd have taken a cheap flyer on Jagr. Reports are he really did look old and slow in the second half of last year, but the upside is worth it IMO.

He might have slowed down, but his puck possession ability is still off the charts.

Wow, NS, let no one ever say that you are not up on the latest developments.

 

(Love you bud, but that story, umm...)

 

What can I say?

 

I see something come ac-rost my screen and I don't bother looking to see if I was scooped by others here before I post a scoop.

 

:w00t:  :flirt:  :wub:

I didn't know he was even playing anymore.

 

He's still filling that role he always has, the 3rd guy who has to fill in occasionally.  No one ever notices that guy unless he's a prospect trying to break through (Ullmark).

It is with sad news that we announce that Dave Strader has passed away this morning at the age of 62.

 

Long time Announcer for the Stars. Had a lengthy battle with cancer.

 

Per Stars Twitter

 

Actually, he was only with the Stars for a year or two.  Prior to that he did the Coyotes, Panthers, and prior to that had his longest stint as a local announcer with the Red Wings (after being "promoted" from the Adirondack Red Wings in Glens Falls, NY).  He was the voice of the Red Wings when I lived in Detroit.

Jagr needs 50 points to surpass Gretzky's assist total which would disrupt what I consider to be one of the most absurd stats in any sport...Gretzky having more assists than any other player has total points.

 

Can he do it? He'd probably need 1 more season after this and it seems pretty slim he'd be re-signed. Who knows though.

That's easily the most mind-boggling stat in the history of all sports.

Especially when worded the right way... if Gretzky never scored a single goal, he'd still be the all time leading scorer.  Mind-boggling sums it up perfectly.

What if he signs with the Sabres next season and breaks it?

That Seattle building is quite interesting.

 

Puts real pressure on the flames and Calgary to get a new arena deal.

Bettman is slick though, that new arena gives him the option of moving out the Panthers or Islanders to the west and having a spot in the east for the Nordiques.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
