Goalies are about the only position where you might see someone 40+. He'll be 42 when that contract is up. Seems unlikely, but it's not like he's a winger, either.

[Kasper]

it's almost time. any big news with your teams?

half the team left, we have a new coach and new owners (well, not really new as they owned the club for 50 years before). not too sure i agree with our GM summer signings (especially Scott Gomez, which i'm not too sure is worth $8M / year), but looking forward to the new season regardless. don't have too much hope for the habs though, making the playoff will again be our goal.

early guess for a final: Pitsburg for the east, unsure about West, Detroit should still be killing it, but unsure of the effect of the departure of Hossa.

and this year is an Olympic Hockey year, Canada for 2 gold again !!!!

[stayhandsome]

my early final guess is Chicago vs Washington

but I dunno.. with the addition of Jason Williams who played well with the wings before and some of our quiet guys becoming more and more solid (cleary possibly on team canada?!) I think Detroit will still contend.

[wild style]

Good luck with Gomer...so glad to get rid of that bum.

what the hell is going on with heatley, jesus

Heatley and 5th rounder to the Sharks for Michalek, Cheechoo and a 2nd rounder. Now he can destroy the chemistry of another team - its just too bad it had to be the Sharks

Sup Justice.

[derek]

Clowe / Big Joe / Heatley. Sounds good to me, better than waiting for Cheechoo to return from his "injuries". D is the question and we are close to cap now.

[stayhandsome]

wings win first exhibition game against flyers 3 - 1.

williams, draper and a noob scored.

[hawkeye]

looks like Kessel will be in Toronto or Nashville by next week... sucks but there's no room, draft picks are draft picks i guess.

[inquire]

Clowe / Big Joe / Heatley. Sounds good to me, better than waiting for Cheechoo to return from his "injuries". D is the question and we are close to cap now.

it'll probably be:

L1 - heatley.big joe.seto - I'm calling...heatley 60 goals

L2 - marleau.lil joe.clowe

fyi, leafs are making playoffs this year

theo's stilllllll got it.

[Kasper]

went to the first game yesterday (got ticket at the last minute)

was a good games, habs beat the panthers 3-2

games got a little rough in 3rd period. was actually watching the highlights of yesterday's game at the gym during lunch and the games looked pretty intense for pre-season, Dion Phaneuf's hit on Okposo was hardcore, although legal....

[SCDL]

The Sharks should be a interesting team to watch this year.

[jack napier]

kessel 4 too much?

what do you think?

[julianREE]

who saw the phaneuf's hit on okposo? looked legal to me.

[kaws&effect]

Lets Go Buffalo!

[inquire]

kessel 4 too much?

what do you think?

I think burkey overpaid for kessel, but I'm not complaining...

he's young, and has potential to get 85 points, 40+goal

ps anyone see anisimov's goal?!

[inquire]

anyone interested in a sufu hockey fantasy pool? (yahoo!)

[stayhandsome]

that goal is awesome

[julianREE]

agreed that deke was a thing of beauty. reminded me of jagr.

[ordo]

Vancouver are now 5-0 in the pre-season which probably means they go out in the first round this year. Or don't even make the playoffs.

[2112]

anyone interested in a sufu hockey fantasy pool? (yahoo!)

I'd be down for this.

[julianREE]

yeah yahoo sounds great. i can organize it if you guys want. just let me know if anybody else is interested.

[vanfragmeter]

Glad to see the thread got some life again...

Im waiting for the reg. season to start, Im sure itll be a blast and some good discussion as always.

[stayhandsome]

Red Wings are leading 4 to 1 against the Pens late in the 3rd.

It's too bad those bums will have a new banner in their rafters.

[SCDL]

Hey stayhandsome, do you think the Red Wings will make it to the Stanley Cup Finals this year?
