Hartnell - Giroux - Schenn
Read - Briere - Simmonds
Rinaldo - Talbot - Wellwood
Zolnierczyk - Couturier - Shelley


Wow...I'm not even sure what to say about those lines...
- wolfhounds

There is a slight chance Jagr will play tonight. But if not, that's a lineup that you would think will struggle to put the puck in the net.

carter and richards were traded regardless of their monster contract

what if both just checked out and did nothing to earn their contracts?
- 2Real

That's the risk teams take signing players to long contracts like that... It's a calculated risk...

no rocky doesn't cheap shot people he has class
- 2Real

I hope you're feeling better today dude.

It was a impulse buy. The Straka hit + contract extension = worst 150 bones i have ever spent. My friends still break my balls about it to this day
- FrankDrebbin

No worse than Kukkonen.

Look who is on top of the Western division right now.
Bill's other team has jumped ahead of the Sharks, Phoenix and the Kings.

The last few playoff spots in the west are really tight, 3 points between #7 and #11.

I hope you're feeling better today dude.

Stellar avatar sir. Roenick out, Howe in please!

Two-way forward.

Bi-polar?

- 2Real

I did it. And I have been paying for it for 12 years now.

Kiss another season goodbye.

i'll take the pain

I hope you're feeling better today dude.

I'm not all that surprised, because Stars have had their lineup healthy -- minus Brenden Morrow -- for last couple weeks. That has frequently been the case for the Stars: they are very competitive club in West when full (or nearly full) lineup is intact but when depth starts to get tested, they don't hold up.

Yep. Much better now. NBC Sports actually has some worth while programming other than hockey. OLN didn't and Versus had very little.
- PLindbergh31

OLN had the Tour de France and not much else until they got hockey. But I love that TdF coverage.

ok so you give me a 12 year deal for 5 mil a year with a NMC why should i care i'm getting my money

Yes. I'm saying if an NHL team wanted to release a player to clear cap space, and a contract slot, they would still have to pay said player, how is that unfair to anyone?
- PLindbergh31

Because GM's would take a nice idea and find loopholes to make it work in thier advantage... Like I said offering a 30 year old a 11-12 year contract, knowing he will be released in 6-7 years with no cap hit...

Stellar avatar sir. Roenick out, Howe in please!
- PLindbergh31

I knew somebody would tweet that. I was actually going to put Recchi in there but I knew for sure somebody would flame me for that. I have a decent pic of Howe from the alumni game. I might switch them out tonight.

.........or just add it.

Bi-polar?
- rockychocbill

NO!

Ok, maybe.

Bill that is why I asked you if they would trade Grossmann. I felt all along that the Stars would be a playoff team. They are playing very well and Lehtonen is lights out right now.
