What time is the NHL Network TV special when he announces on tonight? They can just call it "A Decision."

im not sure why some fans are jumping on this Decision bandwagon for both Parise and Shultz. They are not acting like Lebron did. they are doing what every Free Agent does of high priority. They are weighing their options and meeting with teams to best work for them financially and for the future. I dont see whats wrong with that. The Media is making it bigger. I can believe that before twitter, Facebook and the popularity of the internet these types of "decisions" happened every free agency we just didn't hear about them whatsoever but because of the way the internet has impacted news its bigger than it is

Dear Zach, please just decide before 3PM. That's all I ask.

Not sure what you even mean? There's a bandwagon? I was just making a joke b/c I'm sure they won't do that and also think people's criticism of Lebron was SO SO over the top.

In any case, 46, we got Joey Crabb to play the 4th line so far and that's it!

Oh and this just in...

@eloklund... Parise signs with the Pittsburgh Penguins, 10 years at $82 million. #bookit #starttheparade

sorry I guess I should have clarified more. Im seeing all over twitter about how Shultz was acting like Lebron and Now with Parise taking his time (as is Suter) the comparisons of Lebron and these guys get for their "decision" of where they want to play. the only thing Lebron did wrong was that tv special it was his right to go wherever but the way he did it was pretty poor taste almost as poor taste and the big 3 introduction after they were signed. :L

Who is the error on?

Also, I don't think Shero will touch a cap hit that high. If Parise gets that kind of money, it will be elsewhere. I can't see Ray going higher than 7.5, and even that would shock me.

i dont have a problem with parise.. i made the lebron joke in regards to schultz cause he's never played a game in the NHL before, spurns the team that spent a valuable draft pick on him, and then holds court so people can pitch their offers to him

lebron's was more over the top, absolutely, but he also had, ya know, done something (and a lot of it) in the league before..

My Twitter is very quiet...

All I saw was a Rosenthal article which said the Pirates should target Greinke or Hamels in a trade. :noidea:

I have a hard time believing the Brewers would deal him to another central division team. With Philly, once they get both Howard and Utley going, they could be right back in it.

Pirates need an outfielder to play beside Cutch.

Oh, well that IS silly. I have not yet purchased a twitter machine, so I don't have a Twitter ticker tape to read. ;)

i'd say they need someone that could hit the damn ball, but they did a pretty good job of that over the weekend.. just need to keep that up

I'm assuming the Caps re-sign Beagle at some point, so I'm dubbing our 4th line of Hendricks-Beagle-Crabb...The Animals.
