Let's Go Blues

So with all the Patrick Kane trade rumors going around now. I'm guessing he is looking at not being charged or being charged with something not requiring jail time. I mean why would a team want a guy that can't play because of suspension or jail time, But I don't see the Hawks trading him if he isn'...

(Patrick) Cannone is not a name I expected to see in the article sometimes I forget that we have other players back in the Wolves other than the 3 or 4 forwards that get talked about a lot lol. Though I think Welsh would be a better body than Cannone imo. I figured we picked up Jordan Caron to repl...

Devils hope to retire Brodeur’s No. 30 this year The New Jersey Devils are hoping to raise longtime goaltender Martin Brodeur‘s No. 30 jersey to the rafters this season. It’s just a matter of when. “That’s the plan or the hope of the organization, but that’s certainly above me, probably,” Devils ge...

The Gomez profession, of course.

I thought he was trying out to be the senior adviser to the assistant general manager

Goc signed in the DEL as well.

Noticing a trend here. They say "Veteran XXXX invited to training camp," and what I hear is, "We don't think our young guys are ready." I don't think that's going to be the case, but with Lehtera off to a late start and Berglund out till at least January and there is always potential for another pe...

Well never mind WTF!

Time to sign old/homeless NHL veterans to PTO's for training camp. http://twitter.com/andystrickland/status/636926529985863680 http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=777753 I'm guessing insurance for Lehtera and to give the guys some extra bodies at camp. I was hoping for Lee Stempniak to camp here and ...

Can't really suspend somebody if nothing comes out of it. I get that, but when do teams start holding guys accountable for putting themselves in these shit situations normally involving high amounts of alcohol. Take Oshie, he was suspended 2 games in North Dakota for being arrested for disorderly c...

Here is latest article stating Kane will NOT be charged and that both the alleged victim and Kane have been notified --> http://sportsmockery.com/2015/08/rumor-patrick-kane-will-not-be-charged-with-rape/ Good for Kane...bad for the alleged victim. I imagine it's very hard to prove rape unless there...

Since the Wild don't have a big alumni they are combining with North Stars alumni. Love the jersey idea they came up with.

If we should be shopping anyone its David Backes Have you lost your goddamn mind? Hey now I love the guy, but he is a free agent this coming summer and questions need to be addressed first. What do you expect to pay him and for how long? I think 3.3-3.5 for another 5 years would be fine with me, bu...

If we should be shopping anyone its David Backes, Carl Gunnerson and maybe one of either Binnington or Copley. There are some mild Backes rumors out there right now. PHI, OTT, WSH, MIN... ...but I'm not sure how legit they are. Probably bogus...but you never know. If one of the young guys looks goo...

I would rather keep Berglund over Bozak and its hard for me to say that, but I don't see the post season help Bozak can provide and do we really need his help during the regular season to take on another 500k for 15 more points.

Investment analysts have speculated for several years that Adidas plans to sell off the struggling Reebok unit. While Adidas bought Reebok in 2006, Reebok has since been repositioned as a fitness brand, perhaps suggesting its ties to the NHL no longer make sense even if Adidas rejects calls from in...

Good stuff. One will be traded. Nice that they have value. IMO I'm not too sure one will be traded yet. I think the Blues will keep both Elliott and Allen all year and most likely trade Elliott next summer. Copley and Binnington will play for the #1 spot in Chicago and the winner will get behind Al...

At least that will be the message given to appease the public. I'm expecting the Hawks to suspend or fine him heavily even if no charges are brought - just for the fact that he continues to get into trouble. And the Hawks should, but they also need to take some responsibility too. Use the money the...
