Not to mention the biggest what the fuck moment in my recent hockey memory. Neil Smith got fired and Garth Snow got hired on Long Island.

Vasicek to Nashville for Scott Walker. Any thoughts?

7/18/2006 4:50:37 PM

1. If Walker stays healthy he brings alot to this club
2. at 1.5 he makes 200k more than Joe so the salaries are about even
3. Walker is a great character guy that will fit in great in our family atmosphere
4. With Willis and Walker we have more depth on wing, I have a feeling there is something in the works for a 3rd line Center, maybe Yannic Perreault or maybe a trade.

7/18/2006 4:59:08 PM

oh shit

7/18/2006 5:09:19 PM

thank god we traded that worthless sack of the shit

7/18/2006 6:13:35 PM

For once, I agree with Joshnumbers. I don't hate Joe, but he's not scoring and he's never figured out how to use his body. I won't miss him. Scott Walker is a damn good player.

7/18/2006 7:01:45 PM

So who plays center on the third line now? Letowski?

7/18/2006 7:05:18 PM

Cole/Staal/Stillman
Williams/Brind'Amour/Whitney
Walker/Letowski/Ladd
Adams/Adams/Larose

Maybe swap Stillman and Whitney or Ladd and Whitney but I am more than pleased with that those lines. Not a foreigner in the bunch, not even frogs!

7/18/2006 7:25:58 PM

Has Willis gotten over that hit Scott Stevens put on him yet?


Just curious, because he was pretty worthless for a whole season after that hit.

7/18/2006 7:30:39 PM

we've got 2 all star lines .... and 2 .... other lines

7/18/2006 8:05:00 PM

hell yeah, I'm in favor of both moves. With Willis, I see as somewhat similar to CAds coming back. We figured he'd be an AHL guy, but turned out to be a damn solid player last season.

Can't believe how long it took me to figure out what the hell you were trying to say.

In a related story, Garth Snow announced the signing of Manute Bol to a 5 year deal

7/19/2006 12:39:14 AM

damn I'm ready for next season with my full season ticket!!

7/19/2006 2:26:31 AM

i'm ready for regular tickets to go on sale

is the practice schedule up online anywhere? i'm having trouble finding it

7/20/2006 2:38:53 PM

I need to go pay for my tickets, but therooster needs to bring me my damn money first.

I was out on the ice splitting sessions with Brind'Amour and the Battaglia brothers today, it's always scary to watch Brindy go through the paces.

7/20/2006 2:45:07 PM

Recchi's going back to PIT, no surprises.

In other PIT news, they've re-signed Orpik to a 2 year deal.

7/24/2006 1:07:56 PM

HA! briere will cost darcy 5 mil

7/24/2006 6:19:44 PM

orpik will be lucky to still be walking after we come to their house

7/24/2006 6:24:46 PM

^^5 million is way too much, considering staal only signed for 4 millions. It's good that Staal didn't go to arbitration.

7/24/2006 8:11:09 PM

7/24/2006 10:05:01 PM

As relevant as a place as I could find to put this...

Dave Paul (who used to run the rec leagues at the Rec Zone and now works at Cool Sports) was robbed, beat, and had his throat slashed this past week. He was left for dead with the knife stuck in his throat. It does appear he'll make a full recovery and all the suspects have been arrested. Just figured some of you might know him.

Here was a link to the initial story:
http://www.nbc17.com/news/9540558/detail.html

7/25/2006 1:52:28 AM

What does he look like? I was in Cool Sports on Tuesday

7/25/2006 1:58:51 AM

^^^^^ one can only hope

7/25/2006 2:00:56 AM

Dave Paul is a big guy, a really big guy. If you have been much at all in the last year then odds are you saw him there.

7/25/2006 2:02:08 AM

Eddie the Eagle to Florida

7/25/2006 5:01:14 PM

Danny Markov has signed with the Wings

7/26/2006 11:44:37 AM

Fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck

7/26/2006 11:45:15 AM

edmonton is still decimated

7/26/2006 12:43:17 PM

well....not quite

7/26/2006 1:39:52 PM

i hope we acquire another center, we lost cullen, vasicek, and weight

7/26/2006 1:53:05 PM

Letowski will move from wing to center where he played the first 5 years of his career. Our Third line of Lewtowski,Walker, Ladd/Whitney will do more than hold its own. We are in great cap shape and have 4 strong lines to role. JR has done one hell of a job this year

7/26/2006 2:50:44 PM

^^ Vasicek hadn't played center here in three years. Yes, we lost three natural centers, but we had six before and we've gained one. Four lines, four centers sounds about right to me.

7/26/2006 3:23:56 PM

attn SABRES

RETRO IS SHIT

7/27/2006 6:22:29 PM

agreed

7/27/2006 6:29:17 PM

Anybody happen to know when individual game tickets go on sale????

7/30/2006 10:21:05 AM

im glad we didnt pick rechhi back up, uh......64 pts i believe with a +/- of -36, he must have been one hell of a defenseman as a kid

7/30/2006 12:45:30 PM

obviously you didnt notice what team he was on for most of the year

7/30/2006 1:03:09 PM

^obviously you didnt notice that he also had the lowest +/- on that team either. Crosby was +1. know your shit.

7/30/2006 5:45:14 PM

Hasek to the Wangs

7/31/2006 1:22:24 PM

looks like i was right again.

7/31/2006 1:24:53 PM

Ahahhahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahaha. Chris Osgood, get ready to play 60 games.

7/31/2006 2:37:27 PM

then watch hasek raise the cup

8/1/2006 1:31:02 PM

He can't even raise his fucking leg. Three times a quitter, and a fourth to come.

8/1/2006 1:37:41 PM

plenty of other teams would have loved to have him

8/1/2006 2:49:18 PM

oh if only my penis was the Stanley Cup when this was being shot.

oh well back to hockey. how are the Bruins looking this season?

8/1/2006 2:54:12 PM

The Bruins are looking like one of the league's most improved teams on paper, with their biggest signings being Zdeno Chara and Marc Savard. Of course, take a look at last year's Penguins to see just how far being improved 'on paper' gets you.

8/1/2006 3:17:38 PM

Jason Karmanos, Vice President and Assistant General Manager for the 2006 Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has signed right wing Jesse Boulerice to a one-year contract. The deal will pay Boulerice $450,000 at the NHL level and $75,000 at the American Hockey League level.

"Jesse has been working hard to prepare himself for the upcoming season," said Karmanos. "We know what he is capable of, and he understands his role in our organization."
