Storm might be politically incorrect in the days of Global Warming but I really like the idea of something to do with Rain. Then again... we do have a team called the Hurricanes so my PC theory might be moot!!!

Grunge is a cool name too. Can you image the uniforms all green and brownish.

How about: The Seattle Cross Border Shoppers?
- Beatle_john

Isn't Storm their WNBA team already?

I'm guessing they go for something like Seattle Reign

Miller to Pittsburgh huh?
I still think St. Louis is Ryan's best fit for a couple reasons.

Miller for Halak (+?)

Seems somewhat plausible?

Do you know he didn't try to do something behind the scenes?

No cause you don't..... so you can go and scratch your Crosby posters out with black ink saying he must die.....Its 4 years ago!!!!!! Man I would love to see how many friends/girlfriends have graced your presence with that kind of grudge.

He doesn't have to do everything publicly.... they guy does more charity works behind the scenes than most.
- nelson911

So now your defense of him is down to vague guesses that maybe he could have done something behind the scenes? Pathetic.

And that's with you ignoring plenty of the other points made. He dives, He whines to refs after nearly every whistle. It's not jealousy, because people never felt this way about Gretzky in his prime.

And who said they hated Crosby? I didn't. I think he's a punk. I certainly don't care enough to hate him, and you needing to put words into peoples mouth is just another sign you have nothing relevant to say to the points being made. You're just defending him as a knee jerk reaction, and instead of replying to clear reasons for dislike trying to paint people as jealously hating someone purely because they don't like him and you can't stand the idea your favorite player isn't wonderful and perfect.

Rumored deal around trade deadline was Halak & Russell for Miller, but then Halak got injured.

Miller would be nice. But Blues would be better off trying to use the cap space on Vinny, IMO.

I laugh when a fan from a perennial loser like the Panthers or Sabres makes a comment about Crosby, when they would be first in line to buy his jersey if he was on their team.

I wouldn't buy ANY jersey that said "Crybaby" on the back!

You wouldn't be caring right now if you didn't hate him.... everyone wants to voice their opinion, you just can't voice it in a way that shows otherwise. I didn't put any words in your mouth, I can tell the way you comment where your intentions lie.

Isn't it funny we have a person calling a professional hockey player a whiner and classless dog so to speak who is how many years younger than said player?

There just ain't any credibility.

Have a nice day

Let's see, more ignoring points made; more personal attacks; and now you are suggesting you know where my "intentions lie" so you can argue against what you want instead of my actual and clearly stated opinions.

Attacking the person making the argument instead of the argument itself & claiming mystical insight into the persons thoughts and arguing against those instead of the points being made are both classic signs of not having anything relevant to say.

- PanthersGoal

The "crybaby" beat the USA!

Hockey Inside Out site is reporting Dallas is asking Bergevin about David Desharnais,,there is the Gainey factor there, and the Ottawa Sun has Plekanec also being shopped around, two reliale sources.

Who's waiting in the wings to replace him?
- ward30nhl

I'd roll the dice on a Smith or Luongo in the admittedly impossible event that Price landed Eberle and Edmonton's 1st.

Ok maybe I'll say the red wings tried to get off the ice as fast as possible so they didn't have to watch the Pens celebrate...Maybe I could say Lidstrom should of showed more class by allowing the younger Pens to enjoy their first stanley cup.... I could say the absolute opposite the previous year... the Pens stuck it out and waited for the Red wings...

Maybe I say the red wings are kinda sore losers and Kris Draper can stuff it.

So, Vinny is only asking 1 year at 5 million and there's only 4 or so teams interested. Strange.

DON'T QUESTION EKLUND!!!!!

It's OK, Eklund! I believe you! You've never let me down in the past.
What are you doing later on tonight, Ek? Do you have an web cam?

Yo the sabres are trying to become younger. Hemsky is old and expensive, nice try though eklund.
- player

Are you insane? Hemsky is 29 and comes at 4.5M. He brings 0.8 pts per game on a generally bad team for the last 9 years.

He's not expensive or old. If you want to argue that he is injury prone I would not fight you on that. Teams are scared because of his health - the oilers will deal him to solve an immediate need on Lines 3 or 4...basically a meaty center or winger who has a tonne of sandpaper to their game.

Its amazing so many people are so butt hurt and take every opportunity to take a stab at his character.

I don't know if there is a worse thing then giving all these people a computer.

Peace

I'm actually a massive Crosby fan. He's the game's greatest player and ambassador. It's Pens fans I take issue with. Most obnoxious fanbase in the league by a mile.

Besides, the only Pittsburgh athlete whose character I take issue with is the rapist who plays quarterback for your football team.

You know... it was not something I would have publically complained about but I noticed it was well and though it was out of place. I would not complain about it but I would not feel comfortable defending it either.

Jesus may have killed a lot more than 3.

Nick Kypreos Just report this on Hockey Central at Noon after recieving a call in the middle of the show

Ottawa - Alfredson wants a thank you contract of 6.5 per season either one year or two. Part of reason is his contract was backdiving and he only got 1.5 last season

Looks like Ottawa wont have the cap room they thought
