Now I feel stupid for not seeing it.

HexHomeClarke...get it done!

Well, we need new whipping boys now that Coburn and AMac are gone. So we need to clean house 100% and get some new guys in. After all, they're all bound to be better than our players until around the 5-game mark, at which point we'll demand to trade them all for new, better players.

if someone told you in june that timonen, coburn and amac would all be out at the beginning of the season for a lengthy or indefinite amount of time, would you have believed it?

Come on, this is either a trick question or a rhetorical question. I know you've been a fan long enough to know that our defense has a voodoo curse on it. I'm surprised that Ghost, Morin, Hagg, Alt, and Sanheim haven't been in horrible tree logging accidents at this point.

Who is this Frank?

Can we trade for Frank? Does he play defense?

What's his Corgi Fenway?

Thank Bill for answering my question. I was curious because I know we just turned over our coach last season and didn't know if that would be an option this offseason if Babcock was a FA. I guess you would have to due your due diligence if your Hextall.

It's that imitation titanium from Taiwan. And they gave him that kevlar that defies physics and only works in compression.

just because it hasn't been reported yet doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

Coots on the back end scares me a bit.

His forward skating is only average. I'd be afraid if he had to backpedal in a hurry.

He played the point on PP in junior hockey and has a little pro experience doing it as well. I'd be OK with Read, too, under the circumstances.

Bad news Coburn is out 4-6 weeks
Good news Coburn is out days, not weeks.
Bad news McCrossin doesn't know how to read an x-ray.

This is on par with Lecavalier's back spasms, turning out to be a fractured back.

What do Braydon Coburn and Andrew Bynum have in common?

That's right, they're both athletes.
