You should have warned us that everything you said this morning would be dripping with sarcasm.

All I can say is that if Parise and Suter were going to sign together, I'm just glad that they signed in the West.

Not even a good comparison.

Niewendyk and Roberts in Florida?

Yeah those Golden Horse jeans were the ShAT!! LOL

North Star shoes....

Wrangler and Lee when everyone else was wearing Levis. LOL good memories of being the poor kid who had to punch the lippy rich Bistards for making stupid comments. LOL

Somebody is making them again.

I swear to God.

I was walking up Yonge Street, north of the Rosedale station. There's a store on the east side that has them in the window. They aren't vintage - they are new.

I'm seriously tempted...

HAve you seen allstar weekend?
Whatever sells.
- Fakepartofme

that's then NBA's mission statement.

That's a lot of Cap money tied up in two guys...but good for them, they should be pretty good next year. Wonder how long it is until a trade happens (like Nash for example) for the teams that missed out.

Ah, the Google:

Edit: apparently they are widely available at Bata shoe stores.

Gonna have to check it out.

Does Minni have any solid D prospects? Even with Suter their defence is God-Awful

I was just calling you old. I know what Biway is... cause I'm oldish too... but not old like you

How about Consumers Distributing where you got all your crap electronics back in the day. The catalog had everything from vibrators to work out equipment. (wait...KInd the same thing. LOL)

Over priced flea market crap. I asked for SOny or Pioneer, I got York

beat me too it
different situation though
they were stars brought in to play secondary minutes and it didn't work out

Suter and Parise are going to be top line guys expected to carry a lot of the load
- Sammich

I think Kariya was brought in to play with Tanguay and Sakic (to relive the Olympics), and Teemu was brought in to play with Hejduk and Forsberg. Then Teemu got hurt and well Kariya just didn't click with Burnaby Joe. Ruined my hockey pool too. Bastards.

minny jumps up to #2 in payroll

after Suter...doesnt the rest of the D look .... horrible?
- senstroll

Not really.

me thinks it will be a little easier to bring in FA's etc now to help out in that department

top 5 goalie and a well coached team

Niewendyk and Roberts in Florida?

Both past their prime though.

Remember the defunct Crosstown stores, a knock off of BiWay stores, haha.

I loved Consumers Distributing. I even made a little money helping an older kid in the neighbourhood distribute the catalogues one year (he had a wagon).

Funny how every kid in Canada knew about the "personal massage device."

Not really.

After suter signed, I could name 1 minn defensman before I looked at the list

- steve362

no it isn't, they just don't have any "stars" like Phaneuf.

13th in the league in GAA last year...

- deerow84

At least they are quality players.
Its not like the cap issues the leafs have with Komi, Connolly, lombo and phaneuf..

Not even a good comparison.
- Fakepartofme

The question was the last time two star players jumped ship to the same team.

I'd call adding a 27 year old 80 point Kariya (who just lead the ducks in scoring) and a 32 year old Teemu (who just lead the sharks in scoring) a pretty good comparison to what the Wild just did.

- steve362

Better question might be is now do they have any forwards (specifically centermen) that they are going to move...we have lots of defenders and d prospects

- senstroll

Doesn't mean they aren't good, just means they play in Minnesota...

True...but they aren't that bad.
