thats who im arguing with.

Via DM?

They signed Rathje and Hatcher before getting beat by Buffalo. that's when the stated organization message was to become Buffalo.

Snider makes edicts and then the GM has to react and make changes is my point.

its funny cause they always draft for size then in the 2006 draft every positional player other than Nodl were 6 foot or under including 3 dmen.

He's no worse than the other forwards they're considering. The fans are waiting for the Iginla trade while I keep hearing Ryan Clowe linked to them.

Briere is no worse then Iginla or Clowe?
Huh?

would anyone trade this years first for JBLOW?
- Philly1980

NO!

Realignment approved. Chicago must be thrilled. They are going to be stomping that division until the end of time.

Clowe has 0 goals and is a two time 20 goal scorer in 6 NHL seasons. Briere is better than him.

Stupid stupid stupid.

Also, you really let me down last night MOAT. Was totally ready to agree with your rant about how Coburn took himself right out of the play on the Loktionov goal by sliding like that. But alas, the rant never came. For me personally, it was a bigger letdown than the final score.

And by the way... What another asinine play! How many times have we seen that now!!! At least four times in the last dozen and games and you know what facedown on the ice sliding and flailing gets you? A goal in each and every circumstance!!!

How many times to you have to lay there with the other team celebrating looking like a jackass before you stop doing it!?!?!?!?! For all the gods sake, it was one of the times the forward actually caught up and covered the other side of the two on one.

I mean money wise.

I think naming any guy captain under the age of about 28 is mistake.

Maybe Crosby is the exception.

And for those who are going to bring up Yzerman, it was a mistake to name him so early.

Bob Clarke

I would not. But I saw someone on Twitter who thinks that's who the Flyers need.

It was Sam Carcidi. I did a quick review of his stats compared to Kimmo and Mez
Goals per Game Career
Kimmo 1
JBo .94
Mez .92
Assists per Game Career
Kimmo .4
JBo .4
Mez .3
Plus/ Minus Career
Kimmo plus 31
JBo minus 56
Mez plus 38

I couldn't find JBo's playoff stats. You would think after 742 games, he must have played a playoff game. No?

Clowe has 0 goals and is a two time 20 goal scorer in 6 NHL seasons. Briere is better than him.
- Jsaquella

I think if they are trying to replace Chris Kelley and want a physical presence then Clowe may be a better choice then Briere.

I hope they trade for Briere. Can't see Chiarelli doing it but I am often wrong.

And Schenn did it in a recent game. The only guy who seems adept at that is Timonen. But the D men should stop leaving their feet.

- Jsaquella

How'd it work out after that? I'm sure when they drafted Giroux they were thinking, "We'll get those Sabres!!!"

It's often been said (probably just by me) that the biggest reason why Coburn never became a true top pairing guy was because of his head.

Time to start sucking some more! LOL

8 playoff teams out of 14 in the West, and 8 playoff teams from 16 in the East.

How will they make this fair?

leight again dmit

Outside of Giroux, who has made an impact from that draft?

Stupid stupid stupid.

I don't even care about the regular season changes, I just hate the divisional first round thing. Dumb dumb dumb.
