Ongoing NHL thread - Part deux

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I'd take him as a Ranger, on a cheaper two-year deal. Plug him on the PP and take Moore's spot on D.

Does anybody know the 8 teams that were on his no trade list back at the deadline?

Marty wants to win a cup and goes to Toronto, yep that makes a whole lot of sense

He re-signed in Jersey after losing Parise. Don't think he's too concerned about winning.

I can almost guarantee he's coming to Toronto. Expect a Reimer trade in the next day or two.

Can't wait to hear Davey and Co. defending this.

I don't understand the desire to move Reimer. Of course I didn't fully understand bringing in Bernier either.

In order to protect my fellow Pittsburgh ladies, I present North Hills native, Pitt alum, and current Miss PA, Valerie Gatto:

Bello contessa.

Google hasn't been helpful. Was hoping for speculation, but all the articles from then said they wouldn't reveal the teams.

Reimer's a headcase. Any professional athlete who's mommy has to stand up for him in the papers needs a kicking.

Performance-wise, while that nightmare in Boston was a collective effort (i.e.: Blaming Carlyle until the day I fucking die), Reimer's role was significant. His stats are alright, but I don't think he really inspires anybody out on the ice. Then again, Dion Phaneuf is the team's captain so I don't think they're exactly big on the whole inspiration thing.

Was told I might fit in well

Thanks. Liking the digs so far, some neat features on here and some knowledgable folks from what i've seen.

what exact word do you use in front of Dallas?


_______ Dallas!

 

[puckhead]

Anyone else think Marty ends up retiring because there's simply no one who wants/needs him?

I sure hope he packs it in.
His stats recently do not live up to his legacy.
In other words, yer done son.

Welcome. That is by far my favorite pic of Burke
Tenacity and pugnatiousness (if that is a word) all rolled into one.

I guess if they had a bonafide option as the #1 I'd get it a bit more, but I don't have a ton of faith in Bernier (in my admittedly limited watching).

Unfortunately, I'm here too.

Limited watching? You sir are a lucky man.

Pretty much this. I mean, there have been plenty of athletes who just can't quit, and end up regretting it because they're unable to play up to their own high standards. I won't go as far to say it'll tarnish his legacy, because that legacy is so incredible it's hard to tarnish, but it...well, it may make a scuff mark or two. Someone (Cobie?) mentioned Modano, and that's a valid parallel, but to an even higher degree. We're talking about possibly the best to ever play his position, and all for one team. Maybe it's because I'm a sentimentalist, but I hate seeing guys forgo that. For me, it'd be like Mario deciding to lace up with Montreal for a season. It'd be hard to swallow. I'd hate that as a Devs fan.

I prefer his new 'do. He looks like he just crawled out of a dumpster.

I'll just wait for any of the gents here to make the comment that's always made in these instances.

Someone yesterday said it looked like Magneto's helmet. I cracked up at that one.

That's a keeper.
