I don't often agree with Nickelback......bad band to speak for a bad organization.

Why in God's name do you have that

You're not getting him in any package that involves McCabe or Bogosian, though.

I am not saying him for those to.

because it was on sale at sears....

there is this thing that Al Gore invented called the internet where you have the capability of obtaining pictures of items that one does not possess... its pretty cool you should give it a whirl, they have nude pictures of Bea Arthur you can check out

I don't. I googled burn it to the ground and that came up.

That's probably it for Bouwmeester happy he ended it with the cup

I am muted on a conference call right now....thankfully.

I was laughing my tail off at this.

Sabres note:
I know it's going to get better at some point, but right now, I'm just at pure ambivalence. It's been nearly a decade since any relevant hockey.

I'm spent....we're all spent.

have they said what it was yet?

How awesome would it be if all the teams that don’t make the playoffs played in playoffs for the number one pick? I bet Botts would be a huge buyer at the TDL. That would get him to move our first for a rental for sure.

Gotta say, I'm shocked and amazed the above didn't generate more pub. The take was a little more esoteric. Kinda like the movie Inception. An idea within the idea. I'm disappointed.

They had to defibrillate him at the bench. Reported to be awake and alert while on way to hospital.

"They said it took 30 seconds for the medical staff and EMT's to get to Bouwmeester and that is likely what saved his life. No one has said it outright, but they didn't have to. The facts are right there in front of us. They said that the EMT's needed to use AED (automated external defibrillator) and perform CPR. That right there, says it all. Jay Bouwmeester's heart, more than likely, stopped on the Blues bench last night."

Welp, another team in need of a Dman.

This is going to be fun when Botts comes out in 11 days and says trades just weren't there, an difficult in a money in, money out scenario

Blues
Hurricanes
Jets
Flames
Panthers
Oilers
TML
...

He'll be sure to have Dreger tweet that he tried real hard

Pegula was at the game last night ....... wonder if botts got a tough love convo from him.

and what was the straw situation?

Bogo for bjustead! - bogo can press box it in PGH for the playoffs as the 7

McCabe for Bennett.

Who can we give up for Anderson in Columbus and the disgruntled Finn in Edmonton...
- Gr8daygo

nah. unless pitt retains. which they won't.

I like how you’re thinking creatively here.

But I’m somewhat less than certain JB is thinking this creatively. I’d expect him to be thinking along the lines of “re-sign some guys already here, and bring up
some guys from Rochester.”
- PrinceChill

He wouldn't have been hired if he was that short sighted.

Well, we should be set up nicely for the TDL. We've got plenty of those bottom 6 guys that teams are looking for.

I would have to think a plan was discussed when he was hired.

The fact he repeatedly talks about wanting to make additions to the forward group suggests that he is acutely aware of their shortcomings. Of course, knowing there's a problem and being able to address the problem are two wildly different conversations.

Yes, very good points, I think he overvalued what Mitts would bring, and have to think he really thought he would have been able to move a Dman for something. He might get lucky know, a lot of injuries are starting to happen and he might start getting a few calls know.

He needs all the luck he can get. Most of these GMs spit out pennies at the trade deadline the past few years.

Yeah, while you are probly right. He does get he needs a 2C. What is he doing about it? Since October we have heard from TSN and sportnet guys that botts wants to make a trade

If you have to overpay for a “good” player ..... do it.

He can’t keep penny pinching trades and trying to make water into wine type trades.

See skinner miller sheary etc trades he tried to get players for penny on the dollar and hoped for gold.

and what was the straw situation?

yes! Inquiring minds want to know
