Quick... go buy these jerseys ASAP:

Stafford
Leopold
Evander Kane
ROR

- Stadtusquo


Hahaha
It's been reported Colorado wants a roster player & prospect for O'reilly
Do we have any clue what it'd take to get Kane outta Winnipeg?
I'm guessing a lot
Maybe he'll do something dumb like beat up one of the coaches in the dressing room and that'll lower the price a bit... Haha

Well it was a big win anyways
But it's pretty much known that Darcy is at least trying to make a deal
Real sources are all reporting it (CBC, CNN/si, espn), and Darcy even said so himself
Seems like u don't have much faith he'll get something done, but I'm Optimistic a move or two will be made
Just don't know how quick it'll be
Colorado is under no pressure to trade O'reilly anytime soon, they'll let that become as big a bidding war as possible
And I like the idea of us getting him, but I don't think I like the idea of having to wildly overpay either

If we can bring in a defensive defenseman to help solidify the backend, and a winger who can provide some scoring and win faceoffs (Dubinsky?),
That will help right away with our two biggest weaknesses while we're looking to make that big deal

That's my hope anyways

Well Ruff should have been fired then lol!

I was like 8 or 9 at the time so I didn't know anything other then what i saw on the ice. I have a Barnaby jersey for the penguins, rangers, lightning, and hawks. I need one from Colorado and Dallas to complete it. I doubt I will get those ones though since its where he spent his least amount of time.

Ahh he was moved 10 days before I turned 20. I just remember him being a whinny female dog after Nolan wasn't re-upped and complaining about he couldn't find the right skate and it hurt his foot.

CNN/si.... Is sports illustrated
And what's the espn hate?
Guys from TSN have also been talking about Darcy trying to make moves

I get your frustration, we're just gonna have to see what happens...
And in the meantime,
Hope that Stafford keeps scoring (hasn't played bad otherwise), and Myers continues to play at least ok
Those two things there would be a huge help

Buccigross and LeBrun are as good as hockey sources get. ESPN has really good hockey people, they are just buried in rubble.

You have to admit you're overly negative
The other day u were saying Ott is a "shell of himself" while he's 2nd in the NHL in hits and right on pace with total pts
After last night Ott now leads the league in hits
And instead of coming in here n talking about it being a nice win, it's all negative and sarcastic
I'm not trying to tell u how to think or act
But you're telling me to "take the blinders off" while u are exaggerating in the other direction

Indeed
I don't why it's such a big deal that espn doesn't give u as much hockey on sportcenter though...
What does anyone expect?
They have deals with the NBA and NCAA hoops, so of course they are going to promote tht stuff more...
Those sports are also WAY more popular than hockey
I don't see anything wrong at all with the way ESPN does their business, it's actually pretty smart IMO

They didn't get the NHL deal for a song and a dance so they could care less about hockey.

Last time I checked hockey is a sport so it should get its fair share of time on a show called Sportscenter. It doesn't and that is why they fail.

I don't understand why people still feel like they need ESPN at all for anything other than live events. So many better options out there if you want real sports coverage.
