I thought crosby played wing with mario for a few games

gunner would know that answer

He centered Recchi. The best I could do to confirm it was look up 2005-2006 penguins on Wikipedia and it lists him as a center.

Keptupl...

""The "white trash girls names" scene was done in a few takes without having any cue cards for Mark Wahlberg, who wrote down a wide number of female names that sound "white trash". ""

Direct from IMDB about that scene in TED. I cannot wait to see that tomorrow night.

kaleta and tropp have that spot locked up though

gunner does he get any playing time on the pk team anymore?

- homiedclown


I looked it up, and the simple answer is no he doesn't haha. He literally had 0:00 for the season shorthanded. Shero hasn't decided on him and Sullivan yet, they could both be available.

Ziggy Palffy sighting haha.

I have no recollection of Sid playing the wing though. It probably happened in spots but definitely not after Mario retired.

palffy was a very good under rated player

I am sure most people do not know he averaged more then a point per game in the nhl

I saw him in Buffalo that October he was loafing around. Goes to show how incredible his hands and IQ were because he still had 22 points in 26 games. Andrew Peters could blow by him at that point!

Ziggy was actually playing good that year too (point/game) and then just retired mid season.

As soon as Olli gets signed off the UFA market..

the next best UFAs are Daymond Langkow, Jochen Hecht, Gaustad, Arnott, Reinprecht, and McClement..

So if Regier holds on to Roy until Olli is signed... Roy's value might go up tremendously because Langkow is barely a good 2C.. all the rest of 3 or 4th line centers..

- homiedclown


he is the next best maybe... correct.. but one 30+ point season in the last 5 years.. even on stacked Vancouver teams..

Roy>Wellwood.. hands down.. and with Olli off the market Roy's value does raise by a bit..

I didn't mention Adam Burish earlier.. he is a UFA 4th line center guy who is more skilled than McCormick for that position between Gerbe/Tropp and Kaleta.

What will be the paths for McCabe and Kea that we drafted in the 2nd and 3rd round.

I really like that 7th rounder D-man size.. Brady Austin... 6'4 235 lbs. WOW.

- JVince11


How were you supposedly a coach in the USHL (or water boy) and you don't have a clue on those prospects paths? Interesting, very interesting.

My sources say he'll be the next malkin. More to come.

I don't remember zagrapan getting as much praise pre draft as grigs, I just think it was more on fans wanting him to be something he couldn't live up to. Grigs has a better chance at that. But when it's all said and done, it's a crap shoot.

They drafted Kea so that they have some more size down the middle in the upcoming years. He's a project and they reached a bit for him because they didn't have a 4th round pick. They feel his game is similar to Gaustad's, but his skating is better and he may have a bit more offensive upside.

I meant if they go and play in OHL, WHL, the Q, Rochester, or something else..

I just didn't know what those guys specific route was..

I was the strength/conditioning coach for a team thank you very much..

Well, most of the time they've already played a year or have already committed to a team, so that's what you have to look at.

EDIT: Kea already played 1 year in the OHL for Saginaw. McCabe already played 1 year in Wisconsin.
