My friend should be dead.

No longer than 5 years ago she had a 1 in a billion severity aplastic anemia.

She got a marrow transplant that no one before her had ever gotten. Don't know the specifics.

Today, we found out aplastic anemia is gone and is never coming back.

Hextall hadn't gotten the report in time for the press conference. I think he said something about announcing them tomorrow.

It didn't even register as a hit in the game

Yea, I misworded it but I think Schenn jumped into it. There was upward trajectory not as a result of the contact

It's pretty safe to bet Medvedev is done in Philly.

Just hoping it's not a drop Roenick for a short term Forsberg situation.

@Bill You can not argue that Neurvirth had a better series. Mason played very well in game 1 but Neurvirth was spectacular in Games 4, 5 and 6. Mason was average in games 2 and 3.

No one said Mason played equal or better to Neuvirth against the Caps. Reread the blog.

JR was done as an effective NHLer at that point, due to accumulated concussions and wear and tear. Forsberg had his litany of injuries but was a definite upgrade over JR when able to play.

It was about the only thing Hexy would commit to in his press conference today

Have to wonder if the guy had a problem and if it affected his ice time. I think dui in Russia isn't viewed quite like it is in N.A.

trade the players that aren't worth their contracts at that time or buy em out
- 2Real


because trading players with bad contracts is easy and buying guys out creating dead cap space x 2 is a great way to do business on a regular basis

Hexy's a wizard.

Your going to wake up and POOF!!!

Read will be traded for a B prospect
Umberger will be bought out
Schultz and our 2nder will move us up into the top 35.

I remember being ready to move on from Roenick. Shame Forsberg couldn't stay healthy.
