Gotta add #21, its too good....

21. I had been harassing the opposing team's goalie the entire game because he had been drinking before...I only knew because his breath nearly peeled the tape off my stick. After the game we lined up to shake hands...he took a swing at me, and it was on...after we brawled at center ice, he paused a moment, and proceeded to blow chowder...absolutely the God's honest truth.

All Oiler fans think Smyth is overpaid. All Hab fans think Souray is overpaid. All Sabre fans think Drury and Gomez were overpaid (true).

Just thinking there may be a little sour grapes there.

BTW I'd take Smyth at his money and 3 draft picks over Dustin Penner. Just Sayin'.

good god, i hope no kid called u pansy boy or anything. Just be funny seeing a figure skater play hockey and get whacked stopping like that. Well mind you figure skating helped the girl whip ass in mighty ducks but then again the ice looked like glass and probably no on knew what hockey was filming that.

Is it THAT hard to get an AHL location that will actually make a profit or what...I think this is Calgary's fourth AHL relocation since 2003

moved from St. John's to Lowell (shared with the Hurricanes), then to Omaha, then to Quad Cities, now to Abbotsford
