Ongoing NHL thread - Part deux

Yeah, what is it about Russians and national anthems, anyway?

That guy lives some where relatively close to me. He worked for the county for years and even ran for local office at least once before. He now works with kids at the Poice Athletic League and by most accounts he is a very nice man.

Some arenas can't even pull in 5,000 fans to watch these talented Russians...

Former Detroit Red Wings star Slava Fetisov has called for Russia to reintroduce Soviet-style restrictions to prevent promising young hockey players from moving to the NHL.

Fetisov, who is now a senator in Russia, tells Russia's R-Sport news agency that federal law should be used to stop Russian players from moving to North America before they turn 28.

The aim is to keep ''our most talented guys, the ones who the people come to see.''

Fetisov was one of the first players to benefit from the relaxation of Soviet-era rules which prevented any hockey players from leaving. He moved to the NHL in 1989 with the New Jersey Devils when he was 31, and went on to win two Stanley Cups with the Red Wings.

Well if they can't pass a law to get them to stay Slava can always contact his mob buddies to make some threats.

He probably doesn't understand American slang and doesn't realize "close the door on your way out" is just an expression

Chicago will match

How many times do players end up going elsewhere in RFA? It doesn't happen besides the dumbasses in Edmonton who thought giving a guy a huge contract in RFA was going to help them going forward

So for people who think their team can get someone in RFA, well it's not happening
