  1. Well, if one was to trade Hamrlik, one would hope that at least one of those 17 teams that he doesn't have a NTC for would be interested.

    No Saskhab, what it says is that there are 12 teams that he would accept a trade to. I'd imagine they are all playoff and/or big market teams, so I doubt the restriction would be too harsh.

    Hamrlik could, of course, always choose to waive his NTC for one of the others should it become an issue.

  2. We essentially have a few traditions already (especially since the end of the designated threadmaker era), but I thought it'd be fun to codify some ideas on how we should do Game Threads. I'm not talking about rules to be imposed on the community from on high, or even rules that mods would "enforce", but just some traditions for the community to adopt. Another board I post on does this and I think it makes for a better community.

    Here are some of my thoughts:

    1) If the habs win, the same poster starts the next game thread.

    2) The game thread should be created no more than 24 hours of the game, but the thread maker should endeavour to start it as early as possible (so much trash that should really be part of the game thread often gets thrown around in other threads, creating a lot of unintentional hijacks).

    3) Info as to lineups/goalies/places to watch should - as much as possible - be in the OP, but need not be there when the thread is created. It is easy for the threadmaker and the mods to add this info as the day goes along.

    4) Once you have had a run as the thread starter, try to give other people a turn for a while.

    5) I'd encourage thread starters to try to personalize their GDT's... maybe make them a bit thematic. Haiku's to start of the game? Spotlight on which player they are expecting a big game from? Images of Gomez not shooting the puck?

    These are just a few ideas to get discussion going? What does everyone think?

  3. This is a slow day with no rumors to play with, also I can’t find a thread where this kind of Trivia would fit. And some might find it fun as I did.

    Question,

    There are only two players that have their names on both the Stanley Cup and the Grey Cup can you name them.

    I'm gonna guess that one of them is Cyclone Taylor.

  4. hehehe -- anyway how long do we have to wait for the Halak trade? Days? Weeks? Trade deadline? And does the public declaration that he's "on the block" raise or lower the probable return?

    No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

  5. I have a feeling that I'm gonna get pulled away from watching this game tonight. I've had very good getting to actually watch games karma recently....

    BTW - Pouliot goes to Hamilton for a conditioning assignment. Prolly a very good idea. Too bad it won't provide any cap relief.
