I'm curious how the Canes lineup is going to look. Tuomo is having hip surgery so he's not going to be playing this season.

E. Staal / J. Staal / Semin gets me hard.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

I'd want to see Yakupov playing with Nuge. He can play either wing, making that line uber-potential.

Let's see, time to go temporarily insane with the potential...

Nuge = Gretzky
Yakupov = Kurri
Hall = Messier
Shultz = Coffey
Eberle = Anderson

Yahoo! All aboard the overhype train and living in the past.

I lived in Crapmonton during the Gretzky era and I agree with solo.

 

[Solo]

Semin gets me hard.

You are doing things in the backwards order.

 

[CREMSteve]

Soooo, what's everyone lines gonna be?!?!?

I think Detroit will roll with...

Bertuzzi/Datsyuk/Franzen
Flip/Zetterberg/Brunner
Cleary/Helm/Samuelsson
Miller/Abdelkader/Tootoo
Emmerton/Mursak/Eaves (IR)

Kronwall/White
Ericsson/Quincey
Colaiacovo/Smith
Kindl

Howard
Gustavsson

Nyquist could be brought up and make it interesting though. He should go with Pavel and Frazen, dropping Bert to line 3.

Do you really think they'll move Cammy back to centre? I watched a few Flames games post-Cammy trade and he seemed to be playing second line winger, like he did in Montreal. Winger seems like a better fit for him anyways, as he really doesn't create offense, but rather needs a good centre feeding him pucks.

All that money to Stajan and you put him on the 4th?! Calgary ain't what it used to be...which is kinda sad.

I also wonder if Bouwmeester would be bought out or try and trade him?

 

[DopeyFish]

We find out if we have a 48 or 50 game season tomorrow likely

April 5 is proposed trade deadline

July 5 is proposed start of free agency

 

[Leeroy3101]

Columbus (Slowly graduating from AHL to the NHL...)

Umberger - Dubinsky - Atkinson (This is going to be a fun line)
Prospal - Brassard - Dorsett
Fogliano - Anisimov - Johansen
Boll - Letestu - MacKenzie

Johnson - Wiznewski
Tyutin - Nikitin
Aucion- ??? (Would've been Murray but he's injured)

Bobrovsky
Mason (Who will still be wearing pads five sizes too small)

We have too many centers. I expect us to try and deal or pickup some RWs.

 

[vatstep]

Okay, Sunday nights are now officially fucking depressing without football. Thankfully hockey's back so there'll be Ducks games or some bullshit on instead soon.

A Ducks game can be nothing else but bullshit.

They don't really have an option, Center is easily their weakest position and they have far too many scoring wingers.

Bouwmeester isn't going anywhere, he's their undisputed number 1 defenseman.

As for Stajan, this is a pretty important season for him, he'll either step up and push one of the other Centers out, and or he'll wallow in mediocrity and eventually be bought out.

Both players were horribly mismanaged by Brent Sutter, so it should be interesting to see if they return to their offensive selves this year under Hartley's new offensive-minded system now that they won't be forced to play shutdown roles.

I'm hoping with the new coaching staff and new system, that both Jbo and Stajan will put up some decent numbers, but time will tell.

Well, I guess the upside is that Cammy and Iggy have good chemistry together, even if Cammy isn't a great centre.

Anisimov for Stalberg. Chicago gets a center, Columbus doesn't get murdered by Stalberg every game.

Damn it's been so long I forgot that Hartley is the coach now.

If Bertuzzi is on one of the top two lines over Nyquist there's going to be rage.

No question target is 50-game, not 48-game, season. Speculation is it would be 5 games vs 4 division rivals and 3 games vs 10 Conf rivals.

I'll take it, Bob Mckenzie. I'll take it.

Did you actually miss the part where I moved out and told her to fuck off a day before it happened or are you just putting it aside because it doesn't work with the angle you're coming from?

Boudreaus Ducks are going to be fantastic this year.
