Yes, so do a lot of people. This has been discussed before, that mods allow conversation of OT things because it brings traffic and keeps the disciussion going. It's not uncommon during a lull to see music, movies, books and other sports being discussed by a wide range of posters.

It's odd you'd complain when the conversation is about hockey.

Weren't they already offered 2 2nds for Jagr? How do you pass that up? It'll be interesting to see if they get more before tomorrow.
- wolfhounds


I gotta believe if either Boston or Philadelphia offered Nieuwendyk 2 2nds for Jagr right now, Nieuwy would drive Jagr to either city himself.

Your non-stop analysis of untitled Led Zeppelin albums isn't going to land you a gig at CSN.

I saw Dream Theater as an opening act once. I was stunned when it was explained they didn't just play one really, really, really long song.

LOL!!!

Thats funny. I literally laughed out loud.

Dream Theater, much like Alexander Daigle, is never the right answer.

I prefer Dream Theater - Images and Words album, I hope that doesn't offend you.

Not at all. I'm used to the topics changing.

At least he has an NMC to protect him. Last year it was JVR that got injured before the TDL and guess what....he still got traded for L. Schenn in the offseason.
- section32


Complete Speculation; Homer, "Danny how about you waive your NMC, so we trade you at the deadline to a playoff team"... "Or, else we buy you out in the off-season.". Next practice, Danny gets a "concussion". (Generally, it's just classified as an upper body injury - but this time they said concussion). I guess Danny choose the buy-out route, and didn't feel like playing the rest of the season.

He wouldn't be as effective playing 13-15 minutes, but there's games where he plays 5-7 minutes. He should be getting 10-12 minutes a night. He provides energy, he gets the team fired up with his hitting and he draws penalties.

If you have a third/fourth liner getting you a PP every game, he's doing a great job.

- Jsaquella


Yup. At the very least, start gradually increasing his minutes and responsibility and see if Rinaldo rewards the team with solid hockey.

It seems like common sense to me, especially with all the injuries we have and the energy and effort he brings every night. And he's already shown he can improve and play smart.

I'm sorry, I had to post this trade proposal from the Vancouver board:

Higgins, Jensen, Booth, Ballard, Lu for Couturier, Hartnell, Schenn twins, and Simmonds

Dear god on earth. That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of in this site. The entire youth corps sent for another untradeable contract. How much would we have invested in goal? 15 mil? Hahah

Curious.. what did he do to you to make you mention a ban? People should be banned for treating others like dirt, not talking about hockey.

Jagr would likely push the car while dragging a weight behind him across the gravel...just for fun.

Don't limit yourself VH1. You seem to have a wealth of knowledge on a multitude of topics, I say you set your sights on Discovery channel.

What are peoples thoughts if we got Erik Johnson....I just dont what to think of him...first overall pick that would have been traded twice and I just dont know....what is your guys thoughts on EJ?
- nonpoint22


He'd be a help. He's not the stud that people thought he'd be, but he is a solid top four guy. Big kid, good skater.

Told Flyers are not seriously in mix for Jagr. Will check on price, that's it. Flyers unlikely to outbid true rental teams.

I doubt this very much. Jagr back here makes more sense than Clowe and Vanek.

Stay on topic please. Discussing the reason someone should get banned should get you banned.

Apparently not.

Let's discuss Led Zeppelin albums instead, so nobody gets offended by actually discussing the team.

My favorite is the untitled 4th album.

My parrot loves Zeppelin... He sings to the music.
