I appreciate your defending my honor and all...but FFS don't go quoting Wikipedia and then go calling it "fact"... Jeeeesh.
- Ogilthorpe2

Sorry Ogi...but they do list stats on there that are pretty accurate, and I was very late to the game today so went there for a quick rebuttal. I admit, I was lazy as I didn't go to the team sites for the numbers...but I think my point was made.

at least I'm not having a Mrpaulish moment and confessing my love for you guys...

Hows the day been everybody?

Been waiting for a pic like this ^^ for a while now

Spent the day at the shooting range. I am actually mellow now. No more over the lack of signings/movement. Actually having fun with this for now.

Nice. The only bad thing being abroad for a month is no range. Whaddya shooting these days? I bring a Kimber Gold Match .45 and a Glock 17 most days. Have a Baretta 92G and a really nice Glock 21 that I have yet to put any rounds through.

A little too much some days...

Holy crap! There is a player in the league you wouldn't trade Kane for?

Did Hell freeze over?
- EKolb13

Damn, am I really that bad? Lol. I actually like Kane a lot and with Bolland and Toews they are the 3 most consistent big-time players, but the makeup of the team is off. At least to win a Cup now. While it will be hard to replace his numbers, he has the most value to bring back players that would help out more to play a style you can Win a Cup with

Point of origin? Can you use it in a sentence?

let's just assume that if this "deal" is being rumoured here, it is very unlikely to happen because a so-called "source" high with the canadiens is more likely a peanut vendor in the 400 section than someone inside the canadiens organization.

I was trying to put your post out of my mind....

The Hawks have, I understand that. The question I have is what has been Daddy Bowman's experience? I would think that would be more relavent to the current regime. They did take a change on Makarov (sp?).
- NewToHockey

First part I am not sure of but...The Red Wings were one of the first teams to really have lot od success with drafting Rusians....Don't know if Scotty was a big part of the process.

Makarov ?? who was drafed by Tallon and was the next Datsyuk??

If I had $10 for every fan on here and elsewhere that I told he would likely never play in the NHL we could go to Gibson"s for a really nice dinner.

That was laughable from the start as many thought Makarov was the son of the great Sergei Makarov from KLM line fame.....He wasn't.

The Hawks and other clubs who don't have the right connections or success with Russian seem to avoid them.

I like to shoot every now and again. I don't own many guns. Smith & Wesson .380 and a Stevens 4-10 over/under.
