WTF? So the whole Elisha Cuthbert sloppy seconds thing was a cover?

First period done.
Looking to see a little more from Laughton and Straka. Stolarz has been looking good.
Can't believe Cousins missed an empty net. Think he's looked good other than that.
On the can't teach size note--pretty tall D-corps out there for Philly, been doing a pretty good job winning along the boards.
Commentators enjoy talking about Alt.

Dan Cleary is still talking with Det, but told Philly is among the teams interested in a 3 year deal.

I wonder how much he has left?

Please no.
I'd still like Gagne back for one year, but if we're not doing that should leave room for one of our young guys.
Wonder if this means a Mez deal is in the works though to find the cap space.
The Avery engagement thing was mostly a rumor that they were rolling with to mess with people, at least last I checked a few days ago.

Overstretching Tennessee boxes.
Random bit of news. Can't say I saw that coming, purely based on his on-ice stuff.
I know he had a bit of a career in fashion, but that's not quite as "gay" as people think it is.

Which is odd because it's been in the 90s the whole time I've been here. I felt so light headed since getting here, I'm glad it's getting nicer

Crazed on suicide alert! D:
Don't do it, Crazed! He could have one more good year since the Wings are going to dominate our division.
I liked the part where you said "here" twice without telling us where "here" is.
Also, metric units or nothing.
If you Google this it says its not true. Or at least its being denied or not. Sean just playing along.

My bad. I am in Los Angeles till Thanksgiving. Now apparently Chicago is getting rocked temperature wise
That is good. Would have sucked a bit otherwise.
Yep. I love him in 27 anyways. Hopefully he ends up like Kovalev but, you know, not lazy as fuck.

GO TO PHILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh we better dominate, we better....
I will hurt you if this happens
I predict Habs will be ranked 27th also.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
:lol
As for Cleary, it's getting kind of pathetic. He's trying the, "I'll sign with someone else! I swear I will!" and it's really irritating. I think it's pretty clear Holland doesn't want him back. They need to move at least two guys to get him on the roster and Holland doesn't want to do it otherwise it would have been done. The Wings' beat writer said that the reports about Holland offering Cleary a 3-year deal earlier in the summer were "erroneous."
Just sign with Philly and move on.
Those 5 stars dude.

Speaking of that, that shit comes out tomorrow.
Are we doing the GMConnected this year again?
You mispelled Alfredsson.
I wish he went with 94 originally but I'm glad he's sticking with 27 since I just grabbed it.
Also Fucale is the only goalie from the prospect camp to get an invite to the main camp, kind of a big deal even if he's 5-6 years away from the big league.

YES, YES, YES!!!!!!
Daniel Cleary talking to two teams, not Red Wings, expects to make a decision soon on where to sign
I trust Ansar over anyone else since he has great Red Wings connections. When he signs with someone else I fill this thread with gifs of happiness, you won't be able to contain it!

In what fucking universe does Philly have the cap space to sign Cleary?
"The universe is humongous big."
I've said it multiple times, I've had personal stuff keeping me from finding the time to make a thread/OT. So... We'd probably have the people, just not the thread/organization. Sorry. I can't tell when I'll find the time.

In what universe would they want him?
Are Flyers fans even worried about their cap? Serves em right for that Lecavalier contract though...and who is their goalie again?

Well shit, I hope they spend big then. Wouldn't want another aging unwanted vet to go unpaid.

Joint Task Force Stars-Panthers had better sign him. Stay out of Philly, Cleary. We're full.
On an unrelated note--any GAF fantasy hockey leagues with open spots? Never heard back from BigJonsson.

Have you seen TitanFall...I mean Tinordi.
Just subbed to the gamecentre live, so as im still a hockey noob just wanna say looks great.
Considering i paid £8 to watch my nearest local side webstream Cardiff devils yesterday.
£63/ $99 for a full season of nhl was an easy choice to make, i am aware of the blackouts but to me it's still worth it, better than our football (soccer) gamecentre equivalents they are £40 just to watch one team, i like the fact you can choose from a few teams and the vault is there too
I will still support my local side though by going to matches and buying merch and the occasional web stream.
Edit My question is can i watch (pre season games) coming up or is this for the full season only?
Edited for my noobness and question answered thanks
