I agree Fanpuck. This is not war, it's still just a game.

Did Murray Wilson on CJAD just say that Carle played for his brother Doug in San Jose?? He's got the wrong Carle.

ah great thanks! I went to CJAD's site an hour ago and the game wasn't on the schedule... didn't think they were covering it.

Anyone know of any internet radio station broadcasting tonights game?

OK buddy, I'm counting on you to be right

Has anyone else noticed Sergei K? Something seems to be not quite right with him.... I don't know if it's nerves or what. Two stinky stinky games in a row. Giveaway after giveaway... making risky, low-percentage passes much of the time and poor decisions with the puck. I'm just a little concerned. I think I'd like to see him on a different line than Andrei... he just seems to be looking to set up his brother with a cross-ice pass all the time. I'd like to see him develop his own identify and independence out of Andrei's shadow and on a different line.

I failed to notice Cerebus, sorry. He did seem like he was trying to do a bit too much. He tried to show some offensive skills and had a couple of brutal giveaways. It does seem like he might have a *bit* of an offensive game though.

True, it was only one game, and I'm sure he was fairly nervous.

I was at the game last night... Henry had a scrap (against some "Bitz" guy). Henry won. He's a decent fighter. In a nutshell, we iced basically an AHL defense last night (Hamrlik was out early with an injury). No wonder we gave up a million shots and 8 goals. The only defenceman to play half-decent was Gorges. The rest (especially Valentenko) were pretty porous.

"...the frogurt is also cursed, but it comes with your choice of topping"

I like the French/English translations that babelfish gives: "...and the young lady decided to taste with the stick of hockey of Cristo" LOL!

Yeah that too. But I thought for sure it was Yvon who would say ""Ohhh, ma parole!"...

I'm gonna miss the "Ohhh, ma parole!"

Has nothing to do with Shawn Belle but.... Lindros is a Swedish name?? Or is he Swedish on his mother's side?

I'm surprisedand a little apprehensive by this move with Pacioretty. Currently I think there's no need to rush him along. Why not let him have a dominant year in college and *then* move him up to the AHL?

Guys, if Sundin turns us down, do you think Bob should give some consideration to pursuing Forsberg for a 1 year deal - assuming the man can get healthy over the summer? It might be worth the gamble - we wouldn't be giving up any players, and if/when Forsberg gets hurt (and he *will* get hurt), then we just revert to our non-Sundin line-up with Chips taking 3rd line centre and Koivu bumping up to 2nd line centre (which would likely be our lineup anyway if we don't get Sundin). Then again, if we try this, we lose our cap space to try and pull off a mid/late-season trade for a legit #1 centre. Any thoughts?

Welcome aboard big Georges! no more of this 'little girl' crap... this season Plekanec plays like a BIG girl

I hear ya... I guess I'm just spoiled by how good our top-9 would be - I wouldn't want to lose any of that firepower. But you all are right - there are 29 other teams that would be envious of our position, I shouldn't complain!

"Dandy is versatile." yeah, he's useless at several positions! ;-)

Who's the odd man out on the 4th line now? Begin, Kosto, or Lapierre? Begin and Kosto are very very similar players - almost carbon copies... it's possible one of them might be leaving.

I am happy. Bringing Laraque in INSTANTLY makes our skill guys 25-50% braver and more effective.

I feel comfortable with our defense depth in a pinch - I think Valentenko could step in if needed, or even Cote (will he still be around?). But I'm still uncomfortable about our offense depth. To me, it feels like it drops off pretty substantially after our top-9, with none too ready in the wings to step into any of those positions.

If we do sign Sundin, I'll certainly be very, very happy with that. We'll have a top-9 forward group unsurpassed in the league. But what if one of those top-9 get hit with a medium to long term injury? That would be trouble. We really don't have anyone NHL-ready down in Hamilton to step in and fill that role. D'Agostini would be the closest thing we've got (I'm assuming Locke and Grabovski won't be around anymore). Would we be looking at a quick trade to find a band-aid? Our top-9 had better stay healthy, in my opinion.

This whole Sundin/Gainey thing is starting to get like a guy in a fight with his girlfriend : Gainey: Aw come on honey, don't be like that... talk to me Sundin: No Gainey: Awww come on... Sundin: No. I need time to think.... think about my FEELINGS Gainey: Awwww...

OK, here's my NON-Grabovski lineup ;-) Tanguay - Sundin - Kovalev S.Kost - Plex - A.Kost Higgins - Koivu - Latendresse S.Kost and Higgins could be flip-flopped. In my eyes, I feel we have 3 "snipers" - Kovalev, A.Kost, and Latendresse. I think it's best to have one on each line, even though it means breaking up the very good A.Kost-Plex-Kovalev line.
