Not a typed-up, posted on the wall list. But in my head, yes.

But don't worry, you're the closest thing I know to an American Hockey hero. Short of murdering my cat or pooping on my carpet, you can't make the list.

Amazing he played 15 or so games. He was a place filler. What does it say about Adirondack that there aren't better options down there?
- PLindbergh31


Not really sure, they just don't like McGinn for whatever reason, Holmstrom and VDV are pretty much the same player and I think at this point in his development they would rather have Cousins playing a regular shift in the AHL than 5-6 minutes on the 4th line with the Flyers.

Also the more skilled players like Akeson or Straka really wouldn't fit in too well in a 4th line role with guys like Hall and Rosehill.

I was surprised Holmstrom didn't get a look. It's basically make or break time for him. But VdV was the last preseason cut, so it makes sense they'd bring him up.

I seriously haven't even glanced at his blog in about 2 months. I hope he gets involved in some crazy hotel sex scandal a la Vince Slap Chop.

From the little I can remember of Holmstrom, I think VDV is a better skater.

I'm thinking all of them are going to be a channel surfing bit of 3 hours. I can watch them lose but I have a difficult time enduring them being outclassed.
- mayorofangrytown

I wouldn't say it's being out classed more than just lacking the knowledge and experience to beat that type of system. San Jose was able to get quality chances by having Marleau skate through the traps or by dumping the puck and having Brent Burns plow over the dman going for the puck. They didn't score but they could generate a few quality scoring chances.

I haven't read one either. I read a story on CSN a couple of days ago. He basically blamed Grossmann for losing to the Bruins.

I don't remember much. He just seems like a slew of guys they have. Holmstrom, Jared Ross (1 playoff goal vs. Pittsburgh), Thoresen, Laliberte, Kalinski...

I've been through the state a number of times on the way to Ohio University (not Ohio STATE University). On the side of some town road, there was a (frank)ing mountain lion, just standing on a hill hanging out. What the (frank)? That state is like a redneck Russia, just falling apart.
