Russia ties it, 1-1.

Hagg on the ice, but not really at fault.

It would be laughable if the pendulum swung yet again. Defense first to whatever the (frank) Stevens was, to offense heavy under Lava and back to strict d-first under Berube.

Merry go round.

regardless of system, danny needs a veteran, hard nosed type of team. he isnt the guy i would want bringing and mixing youth into the fold, especially on defense. guys like ghost would get the gus treatment.

despres is really rounding into a nice second pairing guy, and is still pretty young. hed probably be in the pressbox until DB's hands were tied with injuries if he was still in charge.

It's harder with goalies to judge. Henrik Lundqvist was a 7th rounder. Quick was a 2nd, Mason a 3rd.

Stolarz has been largely good in the OHL & AHL. Still most don't rate him as a future stud goalie.

yeah. i really bought into markstrom as being good, largely on potential. hell, right now hes not even better than lack.

Did it look like he cared at all?

There was a bit of a shoulder shrug.

Wasn't Roy on waivers? Couldn't they just have claimed him?

Yep, but this way they stay at 47 contracts and save $400K in salary

They are a sharp bunch of coconuts out there in Edmonton.

Im thinking he probably spends another season in the swedish elite league next season and then comes over.

Yeah, and if they kept Arcobello, they still have to pay him. He's received just over 1/3rd of his $600K, so there's about $400K left to pay

I was under the impression that there would be no math required tonight. It interferes with my regularly scheduled drinking
