LOL.

Chiarelli just confirmed that he has to go into the season assuming that Thomas isn't coming back.

That probably makes him all but untradeable now, and his $5 million still counts agains the cap.

Boston is screwed. At least Tim Thomas won them one Stanley Cup Championship. Boston should still love him.

 

[Cake Boss]

LOL YES YES YES.

Buffalo should get the NorthEast next season.

Of course. I have no issue with him taking a year off. I rather see him play, sure, but its his right.

Only downside is that I'm stuck watching Rask all season.

I think Thomas is done in Boston though. They aren't going to toll his contract according to Dreger. It's going to be Rask from now on. Boston will also be stuck with a $5 million cap hit that is doing nothing for the team. I think the Cap is going up to $70.3 million this off season, but it's still a burden other Cap teams bidding on UFAs won't have to deal with.

Thomas is hurting his team by not only being absent, but also by costing them a chance to improve the team without him.

Really? He's still going to count against the cap.

 

[ShaneB]

Now, I'm not an expert in the legalities of NHL contracts, but this whole "yeah, i'll take a year off" seems rather odd if I may say so. I mean, did he bank vacation time?

 

[Cake Boss]

So can owners now say hey I am taking a year off from paying your salary.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Return of Safety-Glo Turco?

I'm not some shitty fan. If his passion isn't there, then I don't want him between the pipes of all places. All players should take personal/family issues over a game.

I do agree there is no spot to be saved for his return. If Rask somehow becomes otherworldly or Khudobin rises to the starting position.

Really? He's still going to count against the cap.

That's an organizational issue. Not really Tim's problem.

Where the hell is the off season thread?? I searched and can't find it.

Anyway... Rape charge against Red Wings prospect Max Nicastro dropped. Though it is still unsure whether he'll have his demon teeth filed down to normal human length.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Hasek just found his new home.

 

[vatstep]

Tim. Thomas.

Good news for Red Wings fans!!!

Spoiler

He wasn't shaping up to be anything special anyways so he probably won't ever even play for us

Hah. If Thomas is gone, I would absolutely give Hasek a shot.

Tim. Thomas.

Let the Rask era begin!

Gross.

April 20th made me lol, cheers Soc.

What's so funny about Hitler's birthday?



Tim Thomas is such a cocksucker. :lol

In other era news, the Joe Corvo era has ended, so there's that.

Women everywhere breath a sigh of relief.

 

[Razorskin]

Are they going to do that Women's discussion panel again?

Well, maybe just women in Boston.

 

[Smiley90]

Dear god please no.

 

[Socreges]

$5M in cap space, gone. Ouch.

If there's a lockout/strike, is the relevant contract year nullified? Or pushed back one year?

April 20th made me lol, cheers Soc.

I just noticed that it's also 4/20. Is that what got you? Chose that date because that's when they were eliminated

So I heard the Wings are going to suck for years to come? Is there any validity to these wacky rumours?

they might suck already... losing to the preds in the first round, who does that?!

 

[Alucard]

Respect to Lidstrom.

Hope the Wings don't get anybody to fill the gap!

I remember hearing this almost every season yet they were always in the playoffs, hmm....

Respect to Lidstrom.

It's OK, Suter is already packing his bags for his flight here to join the team.

 

[Red_Man]

RHCP called up Lidstrom on stage last night at their concert to honor him, pretty cool of them.

 

[Alucard]

RHCP know who Lidstrom is?

I'm surprised Anthony Kiedis knows who anyone is. Red Chili Peppers songs seem to have an amazing ability to start okay and then drift into pure nonsensical ramblings.

The amount of posting in this thread shows we are all pumped for game 2 of the SCF!!!!

It's a weekend, I can go all night!

 

[~Kinggi~]

Went on vacation for a week. Was able to catch the end of game 1 while away. I kinda dont care for these teams. But ill watch anyway, hoping for a good game.

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

Rest easy, Kings fans. If the Kings reach a Stanley Cup-clinching game, they are trying to find a way for you to be able to hear Bob Miller call it. Just not live.

Miller and color man Jim Fox will record the game, which will be available at a later date for Kings fans to listen to.

Well there's a ringtone possibility.
