Who is of the 32%?

Sabres fans.

I'm sure he tried, but you can't MAKE players sign here, they've gotta want to.
- LeftCoaster

For sure, if you're Iggy - who do you sign with today? Van or Colorado.

It's still early. I'm waiting for some big moves. If not, I'm alright with #tanknation2.0

Thanks for proving my point. Moving along...

maybe it's got something to do with the bankruptcy and the fact Detroit looks worse than Beirut... or some 3rd world backwater

Or it could have everything to do with it.

When did Obama say "Mission Accomplished" about Afghanistan? Did he also hang up a banner on an air craft carrier behind his podium saying "mission accomplished" as well?

holy #$@#$ people still live in caves apparently? yah, and don't forget how Obama single-handedly took out Bin Ladin wearing his green lantern tights and then put Ladin's head on a pole and put it out on the White House front lawn (oh, also, Obama eats baby kittens and beats up seniors)

It's a no-brainer - Avs have some great young players.

We wouldn't be in this position is the Canucks and Mike Gillis had any (frank)in clue how to draft young players.

A city's bankruptcy has nothing to do with a player's salary and Detroit has looked that way for decades. There's a shine that's starting to wear off on that organization. Not sure why.

I'm happy for Iggy. Avs are only a few pieces from getting to that next level and could very well surprise again next year

Personally when the Devils signed Clowe last year I said where is that god damned mother (frank)er Obama? I'm going to kick him in the teeth for what he did to my organization!

They had terrible possession numbers but they're so young, goaltending saved them.

ROR Duchene Iggy
Landeskog MacKinnon Tanguay

Pretty sweet top six!!!

Seems reasonable.

I think so. Seriously guys, sorry for stirring up poop. I was just following the Ryan Miller American hero train. For what it's worth I think it was a good signing at a good cap hit.

I don't think we'll be able to trade him with his cap hit. Especially if he's playing poorly, which would signal our needing to trade him. Sorry dude, this guy's here to stay.
- AlexF

No worries for me, I like the deal. I hope Miller comes in here and is dominant, helps Eddie develop on the way. If it doesn't work out, 3yr contract is a lot easier to swallow than 10 that Luongo had.

Hey someone fill me in why Del Zotto wasn't resigned and there was no interest in him today. I thought the guy was a stud play making, puck moving d-man. Seems he would be a good pick up. What happened?

Well said.

Frankly, I am so @#$#@% pissed off, I'm ready to change allegiances. This organization provided a lot of hope and promise the way they have handled things prior to this. Some faith in the organization was restored and I was thinking that this new regime would not make the same mistakes as the old one.

Well, holy f*ckcockles, Batman, looka here, we're signing an over the hill goalie with a questionable (or at least self-professed 'moody' attitude) whose skills have eroded, and we're signing him for $6 million for 3 years (oh AND NTC!!! just to rub it in! oh oh oh...AND apparently there wasn't much negotiation on the Canucks part just keeps getting better!)

Im not only extremely pissed off but I'm actually disappointed that Linden was involved with this debacle. Lastly, all the progress this organization has made means nothing. Even before the puck has dropped, I have lost faith in this new regime

Edit: did I mention I'm really pissed off?

I knew you wouldn't be pleased. Put the gun down zogg.

Seeing photos of downtown Detroit and the areas surrounding, it looks like a ghost town, with the criminal element taking over more and more. People are really suffering there and I think the last thing on their minds is hockey

I think he's tough to coach and doesn't like defense.

That's why they have Robocop

I think we need to form an Anti-Miller support group, Bezz, or just give up entirely and enter ourselves into a convalescent home forthwith

yeah, you're a few years off on that one. it would be obama...

How (frank)ing young are you?
