Thanks Marwood...I'm not sure what's causing my issues but I'm with a good doctor and we're going thru a battery of tests.

As for Booner, he's in for a fight...I was pretty shocked when he told me, he won't be around HB for awhile but hopefully he can beat it and be back sooner than later.

just read about that and am truly saddened.

however, if there's one bast@rd who'll put up one helluva fight, it's booner.

best wishes booner, keep fighting b/c we all know you can beat it, you tough SOB.

He is on tough Hombre. If anyone can kick cancers ass I'll put my money on him

Vantel sorry I was busy with company stuff today and didn't get a chance to look at your trade.

Been dealing with some health issues as well.

On that note, I'm not sure how many of you know but because Booner and I share some similar fishing passions we communicate on occasion via PM, he was diagnosed with Cancer recently so he's in for a battle...please wish his well.

Good luck booner.

Wonder if a team should offer Mike Richards a pro-rated 1 million dollar contract to help out at center? If he does well trade him at the deadline.

Vrbata now has 9 goals if he can score 2-3 more in the next couple of games , you start looking out bubble teams that might be willing to give up a first for him.

That hat trick last night was huge as it stacks his number.

Biggest mistake we can make is thinking he can provide us with secondary scoring or
help in playoffs.

Don't get fooled again , take the money and run
- VANTEL

Told you 20 goals by TDL is possible if he gets going.

Who was it yesterday that said Vrbata would clear waivers yesterday... give your head a shake!

Not a bad idea but I think his 'character issues' may cause management to think otherwise.

Probably true, I don't think he's gone to court yet either? So the matter's still open.

2 questions Is he currently playing somewhere (AHL,ECHL,Beer League)? And would someone want to trade for him?

Wouldn't he be taken already if available?

Ok 3 questions

Not yet. He has only scored in 6 of the 28 games

At this point Vrbata would clear waivers.

1) I believe I read he's practising with the Kitchener Rangers.
2) he's a UFA when his contract was terminated.
3) looks like a lot of teams are shying away from him for sure because his legal battles aren't cleared up yet.

I said possible, not guranteed. he is now on course for around 25(?)ish goals this season.

Bump

haha thanks Scooby

He is a pretty streaky player history wise so maybe he'll get on a roll..

I was being sarcastic when I posted that. I'm just really disappointed with his play and production this year. With that said, after one game he is now in line to garner a 1st round pick?

I just hope last night was the slump buster and he starts producing at a consistent level

Best wishes Booner, stay positive. You too Lefty. A glass or two of red wine per day can be good for you, though I've heard from friends who have gone through chemo that wine tastes terrible after you start.

First off—sending positive thoughts to Booner and Lefty! Real sorry to hear in both your cases.

At least I have a cheery blog now posted, if that helps even a little?
