I didn't realize that most hockey players were bar brawlers.

IF the story is true, that's not the kind of publicity id want for my team. No matter the talent of the player.

Most I've met are not beyond throwing down in a bar and I've met quite a few. Most of these guys are farm boys from Canada and they play a rough sport. Not saying I condone it but hockey players are what they are. There are exceptions to the rule of course not trying to generalize but if we cut every player that got into a bar brawl from our team there wouldn't be too many left. Most usually learn over time to make themselves less accesable to the public I'd think even more so in Canada. They are the most down to earth athletes I believe and seeing them at a dive bar in Huntington is not completely out of the ordinary. The younger they are the more common it is obviously.

The most hilarious part is the fake laces. Backes even called them "suspect" when he was wearing the jersey at the press release.

The jersey should resemble one of these. the only acceptable versions of the jersey:

I'm sure MM will be seeking a King's Ransom on the open market.

If the Isle's dont feel he's worth it. They shouldnt wait until the Trade Deadline to start feeling out offers. We all know what that will get us in return.

See if any of the kids make the team.

See how the beginning 1/4 of the season progresses.

If Strome or Nelson make the team and can provide enough offense. If Bailey and KO finally start lighting up the score sheet.

Well then... Start fielding offers for MM before Christmas.

BUT If Wang wants to open the piggy bank.

Then resign him. If not. Get something good in return. 30 goal scorers are a commodity in the NHL. We should be able to get something nice in return.

Every team needs a 30 goal scorer or 3.. Why move him, if he fits the mold and he has great chemistry..

Not to me. It's all about tits as far as I'm concerned. They're just easier to come by with money.

Well, I see you have your priorities in the right place, nicely done.



You know what they say, once you have seen one set of boobs, you want to see all the rest of them.
