Pretty sure Howsen only had such a steep price for Nash because it's the only way to save his job at this point.

Zibenajed for Yakupov.

I said big market.

Spoiler

Honestly would like him on a Canadian team since that'd get him the most exposure (up here).

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Yakupov is taking his talents to south beach.

 

[Spire]

"NHL execs from three different teams told me #CBJ are expected to trade their 1st round pick (likely 1st overall) at upcoming draft #yakupov"
Whoa.

Nash + Yakupov for a new team.

You know what would be great? If that's how the Caps decided to blow their team up. Welcome to Columbus Ovi!

Scott Howson has clearly learned from the master, Mike Milbury. He's going to destroy that franchise before he's gone.

And then he's going to choke out a 12 year old?

I think maybe he'll beat him with a shoe just to keep everyone guessing.

 

[Red_Man]

It would be nice to see Yakupov land in a market that can really appreciate him.

Hey guys, serious question: who's one of the best/most popular players on the Jets? I don't follow much hockey at all, but I want to know for a work-related endeavour. Thanks in advance.

 

[Red_Man]

Need a loss tonight, but Habs always seem to step up against good teams. Hopefully it's an entertaining loss and Markov doesn't die.

Kyle Wellwood.

Spoiler

Evander Kane, Blake Wheeler, Dustin Byfuglien, Andrew Ladd

How come you need to know for work?

 

[horsebird]

Doing a presentation for a prospective client in Winnipeg next week. I'm not looking to shoot the shit or anything, I just wanted to use a popular name in part of my presentation as sort of an ice-breaker. Thanks.

Evander Kane/ Andrew Ladd/ Pavelec ?

 

[TemplaerDude]

Definitely bring up Kyle Wellwood then, and try to relate it to how much people love Big Macs.

Ok DON'T use Kyle Wellwood, haha. He's fine and everything, but kind of a running joke here. I'd assumed you were going to a work party and wanted to fit in with the Jets fans. "So how about that Wellwood??" just made me smile.

I can't speak for Jets fans, but I think you're fine going with Wheeler, Kane, Ladd, or Byfuglien.

 

[Curufinwe]

Is there any hint as to what Kubina's upper body injury is? I wouldn't be surprised if he's got a concussion.

 

[KernelPanic]

Whew Karlsson is in. Guess he's not hurt.

Every team is taking runs at him now.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Seven game homestand starts tonight. This is basically the season. Let's win them all.

 

[Red_Man]

So who's named captain for the flyers is Pronger doesnt return?

 

[Cake Boss]

Karlsson is ok and Carkner is not playing.

Crisis averted.

 

[Quick]

Better get a swimming pool ready, he needs a place to dive.

EDIT: Is it just me, or is HNIC fucking up. They just replayed the last minute or two before it blacked out.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Malone!

Ok there Tim Peel.

Hopefully there's a "Suck it Phaneuf!" moment tonight

 

[fallout]

These are good choices. I'd throw Pavelec in as a good option as well.

 

[DopeyFish]

lol they show it after you mention it

 

[Curufinwe]

They probably won't name a captain till next season, and then it will likely be Giroux.

 

[gutter_trash]

Flyers vs. Leafs = full of LOL so far

 

[Cake Boss]

CONDRAA!!

STAMINA!!

 

[Zombie James]

Full of dull.

 

[Red_Man]

Yea, more turnovers than in a bakery. Sloppy game so far.

What was that stick doing in Buffalo's net?

Yeah, I googled Wellwood first. It wouldn't be such a bad thing to use Wellwood, either, if the mention of his name will invoke a chuckle or two.

Thanks again for your help.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

I wish we didn't let Tim Brent go.

 

[DopeyFish]

I wish we didn't let Tim Brent go.

why? he sucked

and we already have another clone of his useless self in crabb

and don't mention that one carolina game

 

[ZeroGravity]

Thompson!

 

[Cake Boss]

What was that stick doing in Buffalo's net?

Miller went to play the puck in the boards then one of the players stick got stuck on his skate, he came back to his net and removed it.

 

[Zombie James]

Yawn.

[Cake Boss]

FML Canadian broadcasting. Wrath of grapes looks like amateur hour.

 

[Red_Man]

This.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Herewegoooo.

Hope this AHL callup does something!

... (could that be anymore of a generic want... seriously.. "hey yeah I hope this AHL callup just floats around for 2 minutes" is never said)

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Did Sef not post preds80.jpg today?

He is slacking if he hasn't yet, hopefully the Griffins can pull out another win today.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Brookbank: Best backup goalie ever.

 

[MPW]

Thompson!

booooooooooo

canes must win

 

[Quick]

Sometimes, I wish Jagr was a Leaf. DAT PUCK HANDLIN'.

 

[Red_Man]

If they don't I recommend you dont watch anymore of their games for the rest of the season.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Did Phaneuf kill Hartnell's parents?

 

[Socreges]

Finally watching the Coach's Corner segment from last weekend where Cherry talks about Ontario-born players. Truthfully, it's not any more stupid than the stuff he says every week and barely scratches the surface of his self-aggrandizing prejudice. Maybe it got everyone's attention because it dealt directly with Burke and was several minutes long, I dunno.

Saskatchewan is the real marvel with their ratio of NHL players to population. Alberta, too. It'd be interesting to see how many of them are just 3rd/4th line players, though.

Yep, I'd definitely say that it was because Burke was on earlier in the broadcast that it became a bigger deal than it should've been. Plus, with all the commotion happening in Leafs Nation, it's just more fuel for the fire.

Media's beginning to spin Kessel vs. Carlyle. Watch for Cherry's "KESSEL IS AMERICAN, BURKE LOVES HIS AMERICAN BOYS!" rant soon!

They're getting away with just about everything tonight, so they may very well.
