So maybe they're allowed but who cares? Why would they want to ban "football numbers"?
It's so pointless.:?-
-
Look at the choices the Red Wings would have depending on what kind of team they'd like:
Datsyuk/Draper/Yzerman/LANG-Zetterberg/SHANAHAN-MALTBY
LIDSTROM-Fischer/Chelios/SHNEIDER
Osgood/LEGACE
The caps are my picks.
Dallas:
Lehtinen-Modano-Guerin
Zubov-Sweeney/Boucher
Turco
NY Rangers:
Hlavac-Straka-Jagr
Kasparaitis-Poti
Blackburn/Dunham/Weekes

He can be invited to Training Camp as long as Gretzky has no intention of choosing him for the team which he obviously does because he's wasting a spot at camp.
20 games, the play-offs and $500,000 (and last year's WC) is too little a price for Bertuzzi. The rule where the injurer comes back at the same time as the injuree is fair. Moore gets more punished for being sucker punched and tackled than Bertuzzi does for assaulting and injuring someone just because he bodychecked his teammate in a hockey game a week ealier.
-
That's assuming Spezza lives up to the hype, assuming Hasek plays like he did 10 years ago and assuming Redden isn't shipped away.
-
He should be ALLOWED to play for Team Canada but Gretzky shouldn't choose him. Not this year anyway.
-
Well.....
I liked it!
Maybe there's too many leaf fans in the forum. Or I have a bad audience.
Ah what the hell! :ghg:
-
We do have players occupying some of those numbers but there's too many for me to think of each one. And I don't think there's a problem with using high numbers like 87, 44 or 96.
-
The Habs will be struggling to make the play-offs. Maybe another 7th seed finish.
We have improved but teams from behind have improved much more and have made themselves play-off teams. Luckily the Leafs dropped so there's an additional spot.
-
By the way, we already had a thread like this before. "Times Have Changed" it was called. It started off as a thread about our old lines but it turned into this very thread. Just saying.
-
The penalty doesn't necessarily mean the best player son the team. Bulis will definitely have a spot on the penalty kill.
Also I don't know why you have 5 player son the penalty kill. Maybe you're expecting one to be in the penalty box?
1:Koivu - Sundstrom - Souray - Dandenault
2:Bulis - Bonk - Rivet - Markov
By the way, puck7x, pretty much the only smileys in this thread are my sig so I guess that's what you're talking about?
-
Of course this guy's crazy, racist, prejudiced and couldn't pick out a nice suit if it flew up his ass but it's nice to have something to laugh at in middle of the game. Especially if we're losing. I like watching and listening to this guy.
But Kelly Hrudey is very good.:/)
-
You last couple of guys are forgetting Mark Streit. I heard he signed a one-way contract or something that protects him from being sent to Hamilton. If so, that kind of traps us.
-
I don't understand you people!
If he's "most likely" going to surprise us than it's not much of a surprise is it?
-
No, I didn't even consider Hainsey. We have 10 D and he's number 9. Right before Aitken. He'll have to wait a few years even though he looks as though he's got potential.

Two Torontonians are scent to Hell.
Satan sees these two newcomers to his prison and sends them in his hottest cells and lets them suffer in the heat. The next day, the Torontonians are smiling and happy. This confuses Satan and he wants some answers.
"Well, we're from Canada where it's very cold so we like the heat."
The Devil acknowledges this but continues his plan to terrorize the Torontonians. He has a devious (and we expect no less from the devil, himself) plan to torture the newcomers. He makes the weather as cold as he can and thinks: "If they love hot weather, surely they'll hate cold weather."
Sure enough, the next day the Torontonians are even happier. Satan is angry tofind himself outsmarted by two mortals.
"You love hot weather and now you love cold weather, too. Why is this?"
The men replied: "When Hell freezes over, the Leafs must have won the Stanley Cup!"
:D;)
:king: -
Anaheim's good but since they lost Kariya and Oates that doesn't seem so impressive anymore but I think Anaheim and NJ can both beet Pittsburgh.
-
lol I looked at the D lines and I knew I was missing somebody. Okay, scratch Bouillon.
-
Is it just me or are the Habs a very versatile and flexible team this year?
With Dandenault's ability to go from a two-way defenseman to a two-way winger, Bonk going from a big (also two-way) center to a winger, Bulis (extremely two-way) going from strong defense to (possibly) strong offense in the blink of an eye, Bégin playing the bodies one moment and playing the puck the next, Higgins playing a strong two-way game, Koivu adding assists and defense to his goals and the occasional use of Vandermeer can transform the Habs from one extreme to the other.
The bottom two lines will be fun to watch. Offense, defense and grit combined and masked only to be revealed between two quick shifts.
Veterans and youth. Speed and size. O and D. Center or Winger.
The Habs will have much more to them than can be seen by the naked eye. Defensive forwards, versatile players and players who can play more than one position are the key to our double-team. Depending on which side of each player shows up we may see some interesting hockey. Julien can master these sides and use the right abilities of each player in the right game, I think the Habs can exceed expectations.
Edit: And I forgot about Perezhogin's ability to play at either wing.

:ghg::ghg::ghg: tell me what u think the pentaly kill is week i think lol
I'd hate to completely disagree with the forwards lines.
I've been bashed enough times by proposing Dagenais on a checking line. He's bench-warming unless no one can earn his second-line spot.
I'd have to go with something like this:
Kovalev-Koivu-Zednik
Perezhogin-Ribeiro-Ryder
Sundstrom-Bonk-Bulis
Plekanec-Bégin-Higgins
Rivet-Markov
Souray-Streit
Dandenault-Bouillon
Theodore
Since we have so many propsects and then there's Vandermeer and so on these can change pretty easily.
-
No way Koivu and Turgeon played together!
Turgeon was complaininng that he was second line center and Koivu was first-line center. He wanted to be on the first-line. The coach refused so he asked to be traded.
-
Oo..
I just found New Jersey
Gomez - Elias - Mogilny
Malakhov - Stevens (or - take your pick - Rafalski, McGillis, or Matvichuk)
Brodeur

I'm pretty sure we're not allowed to link to Gazette articles or something but if anyone read today's Gazette there was an article by Stu Cowan about Todd Bertuzzi.
He's one of them who was disgusted about Bertuzzi receiving a standing ovation from the Canuck fans. He also seems upset at Wayne Gretzky for showing that "hockey players can get away with anything" after he was chosen for the Canadian Olympic Team.
The rest rants on about Bertuzzi only received 20 games and $500,000 for injuring Steve Moore and the whole situation.
It was a good article.
Just wondering if anyone heard anything about that.
-
Eklund's almost always wrong. And the can't afford anyone else. Not like we really want or need those guys.
-
No it was Recchi, LeClair and Desjardins (all in their prime) and don't forget Linden for Zednik, Bulis and Perezhogin.
We made the trade look much better by Savard's amazing trade with Washington.
But Philly still ripped us bad:wall:

Most underrated in the NHl must be Steve Rucchin.
