trying to find reason on HB will drive you insane

i was trying these last couple months and it just turned me into a giant bumhole.

i've since backed off on it and i feel a lot more relaxed again.

his agent wont let him sign for that..

meh.. we'll see.. i am sticking to my guns that kuli gets 4 plus.

- Dozzer


I'm curious to know what he's looking for. Clarkson was the best talent last summer in a weak market. There are a lot of wingers hitting the market this summer. I think Bozak's 4.2 works as a bit of a ceiling. If either Kulemin or Bolland are demanding more than that ....then you gotta pass.

i guess you didnt notice he was on the primary PK?

you guys can argue and debate all you want.. the fact is.. the team that we sent wasnt behind once all tournament

if that isnt dominance i dont know what is.

- Sheppy99


If all you can get for Kulemin is a 2nd rounder, I would rather they kept him and figured out a way to resign him.

Ya that Finland game was horrible.
- Fakepartofme


I agree with Don Cherry, they shouldn't even have a Bronze medal game.

It meant something to the Finns who have that medal streak going. After about 10 minutes into the game, the U.S. Players looked like they would rather be on a plane home. The bronze meant absolutely nothing to them.

Yep if there was a weakness it would have been exposed/stood out...It didn't because it was the perfect team to accomplish what they went over for..
Absolutely the best team to ever represent this country as it was a no competition tourney for Canada..

It was after the first missed Penalty shot, if you ask me.

Clarkson showed improvement in the final couple games before the olympic break. He's an ideal winger for Bolland, also. Excited to see the pair play.

agreed. this is where smartly managed teams step in front of poorly managed ones.. they know when its time to cut a guy loose and replace him from within.

Big, mobile defense, solid goaltending and a team full of guys all willing to check their egos and commit to the system.

They were just hitting their stride by the time they played Sweden.

Imagine if they had the chance to play together on a regular basis... WOW.

And I'd rather have Kulemin than a 2nd rounder heading into the playoffs.

I'd be shocked if the Leafs did anything before the deadline.

He set up the game winning goal against Latvia. I was glad Nash made it and he played decent. Not sure how he has fallen so far from grace with so many fans.

Certainly not gonna happen if it's for nothing more than a 2nd round pick..Only way Kule gets moved before deadline is if in a package/deal with a player who can help now coming back..

Yeah they looked real deflated.

There is really no way you could picture them being motivated after losing to Canada. I would expect Canada would have been exactly the same if they were playing for the bronze.

One of them's gonna get injured, guaranteed

And don't get too excited about Bolland just yet. He's probably gonna suck for at least a month
