Another piece of the Sakic deal already moved along, hehe.

Who is Owens? Do you mean Michael Owen?

Dang, I waived a lot of guys last season because I thought I had to, and I held off on making a deal I liked because one of the guys I was going to get had to be waivered, or so I thought.

Best way to keep track of new posts is to click on "Today's Posts" along the top of the window. Not sure if this is what you mean, but I hope this helps.

Let's see:
One forum is for Moderators only, concerning the forum
One forum is about the HW website itself
One forum is about HWL
One forum is for a fantasy league some of the site owners are in

I believe they were sent down in the pre-season.
So? guys are subject to waivers in pre-season in real life. That's why the Habs traded Hossa and waived Hainsey before this season, and why we had to waive Beauchemin before the lockout.

Woah, how did Hecht and Pahlsson get down to the AHL without waivers?
-
Shawn Gree, that's who I meant, not Eric Karros.

Jeff Halpern is Jewish. I'm sure 100%. He didn't play on Yom Kippur.
I also heard something about Igor Ulanov but I really doubt that's true...
Interesting. I was just watching a show on TV, not sure what it was, and they mentioned how few Jewish people are in pro sports. I think the show was about how Jewish people, until recently, felt pressured to hide their faith, especially in Hollywood. It's sad that such things have happened, and unfortunately still happens today probably.
The only other athlete whom I know is Jewish is Eric Karros, formerly of the LA Dodgers. I know some other baseball players in the past have been Jewish, as I recall hearing about a pitcher who couldn't pitch a playoff game because it was the Sabbath.

I'm getting really sick of all the BS that is going around these forums.
Accusation: I edit threads and have people banned because I disagree with their opinions.
I find it extremely hurtful that any of you think this. If this were true, then I can think of a few members who would no longer be with us. I disagree with a lot of opinions, but I fully support their right to post their opinions. I will attack their argument and defend my own position, but I do not use my Moderator powers to suppress my opposition. If I, or other mods, were trying to suppress opinions, we would delete posts. Instead, when I disagree with people's opinion, I post my own opinion and defend my beliefs. In the past, my opponents have always followed suit, and rebutted my arguments with their own ideas and facts. Lately, however, people have been attacking me, rather than defending their ideas. I'm sick of it.
Everyone is allowed to express their opinions, as long as it is done respectfully. This is why people like ~moeman were banned. Not because we disagreed with his opinions, but because he used foul language and racial slurs while expressing his thoughts. ~moeman's actions got him banned, not his ideas. If he had been willing to follow the rules, he would still be around to discuss his opinions. We gave him numerous chances to start posting his thoughts respectfully, but instead he attacked the mods verbally and continued using his racial terms and foul language.
We at HW have no issues with people having fun and posting their opinions. Heck, rule #1 of the HW Forums is to have fun! We simply have a problem when people show disrespect to others while expressing themselves. The only time I (and other Mods) edit posts or warn users is when they break the HW rules. I have never edited the content of a post and I never will.

Fanpuck33 You really need to reread the post. So someone wants to have a little harmless fun here at the expense of a usless goalie. By calling someone out like that was really uncalled for. It is harmless fun, yet you want to jump down someones throat for that? Interesting.....
I think you should reread the thread. If you do, you will see Leafs Suck's personal attack against. That is why I "jumped down his throat." I could care less if he thinks Belfour should retire. My only problem was that he attacked me, instead of my opinion.
Belfour is done and if you think he is better than Theo then you really have a problem with Montreal's current goaltending. I would take Theo over Belfour even in Belfour's good years.Did I ever say that I'd rather have Belfour than Theo right now? Not at all. I simply pointed out that Belfour has done nothing to prove he needs to retire. I simply pointed out he is still as good as a number of other NHL goalies.
Don't bother with a witty remark as this is my last post here and I won't see it. I just banned myself before I can fall prey into a thread war. I did not know having an opinion or fun was against forum rules. ByeOk, so let me get this straight. It's ok for Leafs Suck to post his opinion, but it's not ok for me to post mine? Leafs Suck posted his opinion about Belfour, I posted mine. After I posted mine, however, Leafs Suck attacked me, for no good reason.

We simply have a problem when people show disrespect to others while expressing themselves.

Btw, I realize you said you won't read this, but I'm guessing that you will scan this thread every so often, just to see how people respond to you.

Chips and ketchup?

How about you act like a man and defend your position, instead of acting like a child?
Is Belfour still an elite goalie? Heck no. But he's still putting up better SV% than a lot of guys today, including Theodore, Esche, Osgood, and Nabokov.

No medal this time for the US.
While I don't think this team is as bad as you do, I agree that it will unlikely medal. Personally, I like the D. A good mix of offensive PP guys and defensive guys. The thing that worries me is overall team speed. I don't think this squad will be able to keep up with other teams.
As for Miller getting snubbed, can you blame them? He's only played 29 games against the level of talent he'd be facing in the Olympics.

The hockey world's thoughts are with you, Wayne.
-
I'm just against bending the rules, just because it's not a major deal. Mellanby is a solid 4th liner, surely somebody would have taken him off waivers. Instead, you'd rather throw away a 5th rounder, which could potentially help out your farm team in the future?
Btw, how the heck did you manage to get so far into debt?
-
They already had enough offensive D-men with Liles, Schneider, and Rafalski. Hatcher is far more valuable than Leetch as a defensive first kind of guy.
On teams with so much talent up front, you know that a forward is going to be playing the point on the PP, so really only a couple D-man need to be QB type guys.
Btw, Grahame's numbers are equal to Theodore's, who everyone seems upset about not being a likely member of team Canada. If you think Theo should make the Canadian team, which is so deep at goal, then surely Grahame deserves to be on the US team, which has no true, stud goalie.
Also, Schneider was born in New York, he is a native of the US. An interesting fact, he may be the only Jewish player in the NHL.

Colin, how do you want me to tell you which goalie I want?
I wrote it in the comments box, is that ok or you don't read it there?
That's how I did it last sim and the simmer did it for me. This sim I'm sending two lines, but that's for other reasons.

This trade is ridiculous. If you don't want him, just buy him out. It's not like it's your money.
The no player-for-cash trade rule was designed to stop stupid trades, and this trade is ridiculous.

Hehe, a day old thread. Go check out www.theahl.com for any info you like.

You can't trade picks/players for money, we banned it last season.

got a friend who's brother glued a gretzky rookie card on his lunch box when he was a kid
Oh man, I bet your friend's brother cries every time he thinks of it.
Back when I used to collect card and would buy entire boxes, I pulled a Jeremy Roenick first day issue card out that was worth 50 bucks according to Beckett magazine. Two weeks later, it was worth 4 bucks.

For anyone doubted Luongo's merits for the team, he solidified his spot last night by stopping 53 shots!

Told you I'd win... however I'm still bitter that you managed 3 goals against me... BAH! But I guess that's what happens when the highest scoring team, and the team with lowest Goals against square off...
However, it was I who got the 5 goals.
Yeah, you're just lucky Pascal LeClaire is playing like crap. .857 SV% :puke:.
As a result, instead of playing Sauve against Washington and letting Pascal go up against Montreal and division rival Chicago, it shall be the other way around. Perhaps benching him in a couple important early games will light a fire under his ass, while not hurting the team.
At least the Jackets lead the league in goals.
P.S. I figure it's good to get this figured out early, but check out the team in the Western Conference who have an asterix, indicating a current playoff spot. Notice anything strange?
