Hmmm...tried that, nothing. Played with the settings, nothing. Close all windows, working.

Just remember not to get frustrated and treat it with respect like I always do.

This season has been so damn bizarre, I'm actually sitting here about to type how much I am looking forward to watching Blues-Islanders tomorrow afternoon

Beats reporting that Luke Schenn looks like he's the one playing words with friends with Colaiacovo tomorrow in the press box.

Guess that means Nick Grossmann is the Teflon Swede.

The sample size is limited and me just typing it means that Colaiacovo just dislocated his hip, but I'm not entirely certain I wouldn't play him in front of a couple of guys right now

Just read the MacT presser. I'm quite surprised that none of those kids have demanded a trade yet. It's the only way that madness is ever going to end.

Great wheels and move, but awful defense and even worse goaltending.

It would be nice to deal Luke to the Jets. They are hurting big time.
Colaiacovo deserves a chance to play. He really can't do any worse and he wasn't that bad when he was out there

That's a good one, but my favorite place is a little locals hangout way off the beaten path called Shanna Key. It's an Irish Pub with the best burger in Key West and all kinds of fine whiskeys and brews!

Plus I'm friendly with the owner and most of the staff and they are just a great group of folks!

Does Luke alone even get you a 1st rounder anymore?

I feel like I already know the answer to this btw.

Sure, if we trade a 2nd a 3rd!

EDIT: I missed that important word in your post we call "alone"

No way he gets you that. Maybe a 3rd, unless he is part of a package deal then maybe the return could be something useful

That's swell. Any word who is replacing MacDonald, Rinaldo, VandeVelde, Lecavalier, and Umberger?

1) I find the idea of tanking completely reprehensible and contrary to everything hockey is supposed to be about,

2) No matter how good a prospect is -- even a potential future franchise player -- he is not going to turn around a team by himself, and

Would it behoove them to buyout Vinnie, and end the circus early?

Something like $2.88 million against the cap for a few years, vs. $4.5 mill?

More then a few years.


2015-16: $2,888,889
2016-17: $2,888,889
2017-18: $2,388,889
2018-19: $888,889
2019-20: $888,889
2020-21: $888,889

Personally, if he can't be dealt. Which right now, I don't think he can be, I'd buyout Lecavalier and keep Umberger.

thank you

Not an ideal situation, but, there would be some savings for the first 3 years.
I don't want his salary to push Laughton down the lineup.
