Let's Go Blues

While I was never an Avs fan I was secretly a fan of him and Roy.

This is a good general rule of life.

When was this? You made a counter-statement to me saying that the man-crush for Bishop drives me nuts. I just assumed from that post and your argument about how much Bishop has done at the NHL level, you were on that band wagon. If you're part of the Bishop man-crush crowd, then, you probably think...

Can you guys follow one post to the next without quoting? He asked me what had Bishop done in the NHL. I told him. The end. I asked you that, because you were making an argument that Bishop should be the "go to" guy. He simply referenced Brent Johnson to show you that almost having (or getting) a S...

I swear to god the 3 women who work in cubes adjacent to my own have to be some of the most boring on Earth.. They have to discuss every current event story with their insightless take and assumptions. Listening to them talk about how Steve Mcnair deserved it for cheating on his wife.. If I was eve...

Bishop would have had a SO in his first career start if not for injury. I'd say that's doing something.

Less quality starts, though. The man-crush on Bishop drives me nuts sometimes.

And the love for Holt who has never done anything at the top level and couldn't get a start in 40 plus games on the bench is equally bizarre.

I vote we offer 14 mill over 4 years to Versteeg.

I don't see the harm in getting him in the minor league system. When his game was on he was a good goalie.

Polak has played one season.. It is not his payday yet. He needs to take something reasonable.. 6-7 hundred k and prove himself next year.

Is it an RTS, a shooter, or somethin else?

I know tons of WoW geeks who skeet all over whatever Blizzard does and thus are ginormous fans of Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft. I only played the first of those.

Which gives him compareable salary to Jackman.. When I'd take him over 3 Jackmans. If we coulda done the same salary at 3-4 years i'da jumped at that. I don't like such long-term deals though.

How often has this trading UFAs after the season thing occurred? Seems silly. Giving up a pick almost makes it absurd.

I think it's silly to compare the Blues trade of Pronger to Edmonton's and Anaheim's trade of him.. Pleau's hands were completely tied when he did it. Laurie openly saying that he had to be off of the books made trading him mandatory. Once that is the case your return is going to be shit about 99 t...

One- and Two-Way Contracts have absolutely nothing to do with whether or not a player can be sent to the minors. Right, but it does have to do with whether they have to go through waivers first or not. I thought waivers was merely determined by how much they've played in the NHL. The one or two-way...

I can't believe a lot of Ducks fans are upset with this trade. They're not happy to have Lupul back, especially at his salary. Still, Lupul isn't that bad, and the inclusion of a prospect and two first round picks is enough to make the deal insanely good. The only part of that that surprises me is ...
