It's an old Winnipeg tradition, dating back to when we still had the Moose and Miller came in playing for an opposing team... Apparently, chanting and cat-calling got him pretty rattled in that series

I love it and I think it really does get to him. Stuff like that should be done more often around the league.

Although I don't think you would hear Winnipeg's crowd as much if they had a normal sized arena....

That's one chant I hate, I don't have issues with chants against a team or player but why an entire damn country?

But they shouldn't do that probably, it is tasteless according to some.

Now that I am thinking about it there is Stu Grimson, Boogard, Kocur

Peters didnt last in the league being a "tough guy" doesnt deserve to eat punches from any of those guys

Throw Domi in there somewhere as well

Thats a total joke,
1.) Bob Probert
2.) Tony Twist
3.)Dave Schultz
4.) Marty McSorley (he went toe to toe with Probert in one of the best fights ever)
5.) Georges Laraque- I have never seen him lose

No love for rayzor there but he gets an honorable mention

- Stripes77



Gotta give some love for Joey Kocur, as well.

I could see Van moved to COL in the offseason. They have 10 Mil to spend with only 3 guys to sign.

Then we could move Ennis if we get a certain C from COL.


Add - was looking at Dalls Roster. Its terrible. Top Line Center in Vernon Fidler!

It would be difficult as he has 8 months before he can be traded.

I was thinking Stastny.

Holy Crap Andrew Peters has had a change in heart all of the sudden. Saying we haev too many of the same type of player and changes need to be made.

From everything I have heard and read, Stastny would be the moving chip. I dont see them moving Duchene from what my cousin says (He lives out there)

I would do Van for Stastny + a pick.

It is to me, I don't like it. I think it's dumb that people would chant about not who the person is playing for but who they are as a citizen. That's just dumb.

WTF? Why? We would finally be getting rid of a big contract only to get another one from a guy that doesn't even compare to Vanek?

Its a reference to hockey though and it really does seem to work.... At least other teams fans recognize there fan base. Buffalo home games have been a joke for a couple years now. I would rather be heard and talked about then not be heard or talked about.

Stastny .85PPG
Vanek .83PPG

Stastny is 4 years younger. both are signed through next year. Stasnty at a cheaper cap hit.

Plus he plays C and it would give us an oppertunity to move Ennis+ for a proven winger that was rumored in the past.
