friday for us

I know just saw the full schedules.

Gotta say, getting St Louis now seems decent enough. Get them now when they are at their lowest. Fuck them, they're done.

Selanne and Brodeur had some major appreciation shown to them today. Will be interesting to see where Brodeur ends up if he wants to continue playing. He's likely going to stay on the East Coast, but after that it's crap shoot.

Very nice......though it's tiresome to not have those goals mean anything.

Ville Leino likely getting the buyout this off-season.....what a bust of a signing.

Leafs resign Carlyle for 2 more years...

The front office is getting close to or near Harold Ballard era retardedness.

For anyone who doesn't know who I'm referring too go and read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Ballard

That guy owned the leafs and was probably one of the worst owners of a sports franchise of all time.

Lol Douglas Murray...I wanted the sharks to get rid of him 2 years before they did but they stuck with him cuz omg he is a wall!!!

Guys slow as shit and a terrible skater. They don't have anyone better than him?

So the last 24hrs in leaf land has been retarded. Word of Phaneuf on the trade block has hit everything with a storm and then other people like dreger are saying nothing has ever been discussed.

My favorite teams management just fuckin sucks.

Also to add onto this it was said from Kyperos that Spezza is being shopped. Ottawa is in a really odd situation. No one knows if they're in a rebuilding phase or trying to compete for deep playoff runs.

my roommate's friend thinks hockey players are the best athletes out of any other sport in the world. he thinks they are strong, faster, etc.

do others share this thinking?

I remember being kind of upset that we got rid of him. Now not so much.

I wouldn't say that.

Interesting news out of Pittsburgh. Essentially the main complaint is if the Pens don't advance there might be some heads rolling. Doesn't seem like Schero will get canned but he's going to be told to build around crosby and get some wingers.

James Neal reportedly asked to be traded this year. Oh pittsburgh. Good luck to the next gm lol

Fun times in Toronto:

The Leafs would be exchanging Dion Phaneuf, James Reimer, and Cody Franson for Sam Gagner, and the 3rd Overall Selection in the NHL draft.

*sigh is all I have to say.
