Actually it’s so far missed letters rather than misplaced letters. My mistake. Tomorrow, Gretky!

Hmmm
On the one hand, I think that post is funny but I also want a player to win a Cup after leaving Ottawa.
Too much player movement makes hatred really hard.

agreed
that’s why I find it easier to just root for the jersey.
I have players that I like, on just about every single team come to think of it.
However, when they’re wearing a Leafs jersey, they get a special place in my heart (aka – the stalker shrine)

yeah but not a player that took out Bryan Berard’s eye.

I figured y’all might appreciate this proof of Ottawa’s drafting prowess so far. They’re bound to get lucky eventually.

Question
Considering how this series has gone, does Detroit have it all wrapped up, or has Pittsburgh gained the momentum with their win last night?
They can win without Malkin or Crosby getting on the scoresheet. I just wonder for how much longer the Wings can keep those two off of it.

Momentum is a load of hooey. Pittsburgh and Detroit are going to play one game for the Cup.

I’m just thinking the Penguins are now the “looser” club. That certainly has an impact on their on ice performance.
You could see how uptight the Wings were for the first two periods last night. It reflected in the final result as well…

If the stats sheet is to be believed, Crosby only played 17:54 last night. Injured?

Talbot’s just too good.

I dunno, Mirtle’s got an interesting post up about how it appeared that Bylsma was trying to pair the Staal line against Datsyuk-Zetterberg.

If Biron is available for $3M or less, I’d prefer him to Gerber as a tandem.
This is of course, only if Gustavsson signs elsewhere. First choice is always the Monster…

More Heatley rumours
To Calgary, maybe for Phaneuf?

if they are looking to add salary

well I would say that there’d probably be some other pieces in the deal from Calgary, with Phaneuf as the centerpoint…..

Phaneuf cap hit – $6.5M
Heatley – $7.5M
not that big a difference…

true
but calgary has 7 UFA’s this off-season and they’re almost at $47 mil already in terms of used cap space

still
wouldn’t go there

No one should go to Ottawa for any reason. I’ve made that mistake once, and it’s one that I will never make again.

I remember
WAY back in my grade school days, our 7th grade year end trip would be to Quebec City, and the BIG 8th grade trip was to Ottawa.
What a let down that 8th grade trip was…

Sounds like the worst fieldtrip ever. If I remember correctly, we went to Chicago in 8th grade and saw a production of “Annie Get Your Gun”, and a guy in my room got stoned just before roomchecks and we had to hide him in the shower. Good times.

and...?
Of the ones I see, the guy that’ll cost the most coin is Cammalleri, and as far as I’ve heard, he’s testing free agency.
Bertuzzi, Lundmark, Aucoin, Leopold…?
Any of those guys tries for a raise and you can let them walk. All easily replaceable.

just say'in
we all know calgary doesn’t care bout the cap lol
"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)
Exactly. If they were to trade Phanuef for Heatley they’d be adding $1 million to their cap with all of those FA sponts to fill and only $8 million with which to do it.
It’d be a stupid move on Calgary’s part, both for the cap reasons, and because letting Phaneuf is an impossibility.

This is unintentionally hilarious. And the word lame is used far too much;

I like how they direct you to another website to confirm whether or not a fake twitter is indeed fake. Ya know because when Vesa tweeted:
Loving the weather! Playing "Pick ball up from ground behind you" with Pogge and Gerberzerker
I could’ve sworn it was really him. Fortunately these kind souls informed me of the dubious trickery that was afoot.
I’m going to wager that these are the guys at the bar who look on with concerned faces whenever a joke is made and say, “I don’t get it. Was that funny? Because I didn’t think it was funny.”

At least they didn’t have to call “Vesa” to confirm like The Fraud did.
