Damm

Bure then !

Straight up for Alek Stojanov! One of the worst trades ever!

You know the wings tried drafting him the round prior, the league refused. Somehow the Canucks proved his eligibility the round after and the league allowed them to draft him.

That sound made up !

How did the Wing's DG not throw his table to the NHL official that said no in the first place and then conveniently change his mind ?

well, your a bit slow !

Probably because it was the 6th round and no one expected Bure to become what he did, so they didn't make a big deal about it... besides, everyone knows Valeri was the better Bure!

That's what the Full House actress told me. I feel like she's a solid hockey reference

Maybe less on drugs, but not better !

Friend of mine was invited to Canucks camp back then, still talks about Bure Skating, sick !

This was a league where a player who didn't exist was drafted.

Also, in 88. There were 2 players available with the same name. The Flames drafted the wrong one and only found out after the Canucks later drafted the one they actually wanted

Was Marcel Hossa with the habs at the same time as Valeri Bure?

No definitely not better, I was being a bit sarcastic... but no question Marcel was the better Hossa

On a side note, decent article on all about the Habs regarding the Habs D if anyone is interested

Not 100% sure, I think it was a bit after

Why are the Ils good all of a sudden ? And they have 2 games on hand

Weber is out there 25 minutes a night to play policeman. When you're that intimidating you don't need to often fight...just be there and watch the other team skate away

Weber keeps guys from running around too much. he would not have prevented something like what happened last night. Pettersson wasn't Matt Cooked. he was hurt on a very non-violent play by an 18-year-old beanpole.

surprising yes. but i see Buffalo drifting back over the second half. they caught a tailwind there for 2-3 weeks there in November but i don't think they can sustain a playoff pace over the second half.

of course i really know very little about hockey.

I agree

About Buffalo, not about you knowing very little

Good job. I love how the first commenter says we should send Benn + Schlemko + Alzner to the leafs...

Lets fix their D problems with a big steaming pile of poop !

How (frank)ing bad were we at the end of the 90's/ early 2000's?

A CFL team drafted a player who had died a few months earlier, I think it was the Lions

Once again well written. Good on you. I hate that I'm already resigned to MB overpaying Gardiner with max term because I'm a pure pessimist

He's looking much better in that third pairing role.

He had Drouin in the deal too and claimed it was to help out the Leafs with their cap issues... Drouin, Alzner and Schlemko combined are over 11 million... and all he was asking for in return was Marner!
