You were in preschool in 1985?

That's why YIM comes in so handy. Even if I don't want to talk to anyone, I log in. If I get an email, it pops up on my screen.

After what happened this past season, I would say it was pretty obvious that Samsonov would never play another game for the Habs. Because of the bad blood, there were pretty much only three options: 1) Send him to the Bulldogs for the season. 2) Buy him out. 3) Trade him. Well if you want to discuss it, go into the lounge and start a thread. Using your signature is not exactly the best way to go about it. A signature is like a tag-line, not a news headline.

I wish I could, but sadly my knowledge of the Finnish language is limited to curse words and "Go Finland Go!" It's a difficult language to learn, even more so due to the general lack of resources. But from what I gather, he got a penalty at an inopportune moment and hurled a trashcan, accidentally hitting someone and causing an injury.

I consider this move to be similar to the Theo/Aeby deal. We move a high-priced failure for cap space. Whether or not Sammy rebounds in Chicago is a moot point, because he would not have done so in Montreal. Also, who really cares if Rick Mercer is gay or not? I don't see it as being something noteworthy enough to have as a signature on a forum primarily designed for discussion about the Montreal Canadiens.

Then there's also Lahti, although as far as I know, still no disclosed money figures.

He was also supposed to play a big role for the Finns at WC, but for reasons undisclosed (or at least reasons that weren't translated into English), he left the team during the middle of training camp. I'm not expecting much from him, but I think he could be a pleasant surprise.

I KNOW! :king: He's even HWL Isles' property much like the Ribs/Niinimaa trade last summer. Hopefully Tony has a better season than Janne though. *dreams of the number one line in the NHL being Lahti-Koivu-Salmelainen*

If Havlat and Ruutu can stay healthy, that could be one lethal line. Actually, hasn't Sammy had injury problems in the past as well?

I like your thinking. :king:

What can I say, I'm psychic.

You better start knocking on wood and reciting Hail Marys before he jinxes Budaj or something. But I think it was more of him hating Pierre Maguire than actually caring about the welfare of the Avs.

Eheheh, that was entertaining. :king:

Dude, that seriously made me laugh out loud.

I think that was a bit uncalled for.

Agreed on both counts.

Because you get to see Eva's ####?

Niinimaa is a UFA this summer.

That joke will never get old.

Two down, two to go. B)

Haha. No, just Justin. It was a boy.

This is great news. I'm also proud to hear that vice-prez Julien BriseBois named his firstborn after the one and only me!

Haha yeah, I've spent ages looking that up (Jussi & Olli Jokinen too) and they aren't related, or at least not closely related.

I officially feel dirty now.

You mean you don't want to get added to a very special archive of pictures? Heh, don't even get me started on accents. :king:
