Henri Jokiharju scored his first goal for Finland (men) in Euro Hockey Tour against Russia. Finland won 2-1 and Ville Pokka was 0+2, just to let you know.

Natalie Wood (Maria) was outrageously beautiful and a terrific actor in several movies - but she was terribly miscast in this - couldn’t sing (I think Marne Nixon dubbed most/all of her songs), couldn’t dance (hard to dub that)....

The rest of the cast - Russ Tamblyn, George Chakiris, Rita Moreno (especially), the Jets - were outstanding.

As was the whole musical....

There was music? As a young kid watching Natalie wood, I didn’t give a hoot about the music!

Let's see, trade Hossa's contract get Nik back, sign Mooore between 4and 5 mil, Forsling takes next step, so Keith Nik
Forsling Moore or Moore and Forsling
Gusto and Seabs

Lots of lefties only problem,
Let's face it Murphy is too slow
That would be a nice start to the back end

I am not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I am convinced Wagner had something shady to do with her death. Hope they nail him for it some day.....and soon

One more thing - I saw that our "child-like friend" VopatsRash is back. I just went on the Predator's site and he didn't even make a comment on his home team's blog regarding last night's pre-game/post-game. What give with this guy? I am assuming it's a guy due VopatsRash's extreme immaturity.

Carry on........sorry about my tangents......Go Ice Hogs!!!!

What fo you like most about Armia? A former #1, right? Here's important points considering an Armia transaction:

* room to protect him from expansion. If he is prorected. Whom do you leave unprotected. That said, the player ( if indeed a player as renumeration) might only be someone Winnipeg hopes is attractive to draft. Meaning greater odds for Cheveldayoff not to loose someone he wants to keep. Off the top of my head, Perrereeault is pretty good but accident prone. Perreault with Big Buff has bern lights out big point producing and that is a nice weapon to pull out in a playoff series. Not wanting to go off on a tangent, but Jets need healthy bodies on defence to trot out that line combo - bye and bye who had been the other wing on that makeshift line?

* Armia should be all about working hard to get results = new nice contract. A player on a mission with enough nhl now ready to explode into success.
You might be on to something. Beside that....i would like to see Dano produce at NHL. Dano and Armia are the type who can replicate success like Vegas has experienced. too.

Pregame Icehogs note: anyone particularly keeping an eye or in attendance...

I am interested your impression on Fortin all aspect of his game. And does Dahlstrom stand out? Because for Chicago to think of him ealier this year as third pair insurance.....means they like his game. Which cannot be under appreciated given the defensive ability of some other Blackhawks. You see Dahlstrom makes smart plays, simple plays, thinks the game well. Skates well can get involved in play, has a nice shot.....but is another softie. Seems like he might MIGHT be someone to draft ahead of Oesterle, maybe Gus too. Sorry i like Rutta his international experience and skill. Think he would be solid far more than others if he had a good pairing. Just not Forsling or two softies together.[/img]

Pokka replaces Karlsson in Ottawa. At least the body count on blueline. Chabot is their new offensive dman.

You don"t want Nik back. Always injury prone makes too much.

- BetweenTheDots

Each year it seems he is out injured at least one good stretch of games. Last few years anyway. I like him, i do not buy that he has slowed down. His style still works. He is almost a luxury to afford on a roster. For a good team to afford and to have a deep blueline. Presently a good mix match with young kids and offensive dmen in Phoenix. Yes, Chykrun is good. And to make the point crystal clear, they have Demers and Goligowski Of Course OEL - one of wiz favorites btw.

Hey Enzo.....doesn't this also apply to you stating saad> panarin when the trade was made (as documented) and now lamenting trade?


Yeah but Rooter it makes it so much easier to just say Panarin is x,y,z and rationalize an atrocious talent-reducing trade. The word is Denial...

As entertaining as the Caps/CBJ series is, really believe the Pens will beat either team at least in 6 games.

In period three Columbus has 32-30 shot advantage. Tie score. Panarin yet to deposit the biscuit. Can Holtby save the day. Holtby and Ovechkin. Perhaps Oshie with his good shot, the under valued Kuznetsov. Or big Tom Wilson. Danger Danger Will Robinson aka. Capital's fans ...
Orlov and Orpik still out on the ice (lost in space).

Thanks much for the news. Appreciate your input if you are listening or watching on his all around game, most though his defensive game. Gaps. Quick stick. Can play at speed...noticed he likes to carry puck then dish....can he go farthet andcget shots off. After all in junior Csm Barker did the carry and dish too.

And ....you have said you actually have not seen Tuulola play. I am in angst with him: another skill but softie non physical? A lefty i believe

Run to the battlefield. Man your position.

To that end Nashville has recalled nine NINE players from Non AHL qualifier Milwaukee
Including

Harry Zolnierynski journeyman guy
Also Brandon (come on now, you are guessing MacShinter) - nope. Brandon Bollig. Same difference. Both are bums.

And the BJ collapse is almost complete.

I guess the Caps will fold in the next round.

Smiles for Kempny today, sads for Panarin.
(I saw during the pregame Panarin had two or three pretty major bruises on his left forearm and upper arm. That's hockey...)

Found it: Panarin also was an undrafted Free Agent for a reason. He is a offense-first, undersized perimeter player with insane offensive skills. Saad is a big body, fast skating 200 ft power forward that plays PK. Hawks also get an elite Goalie prospect, which they need. Love the trade
