Ongoing NHL thread - Part deux

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Can we just castrate Graham James followed by burning him at the stake?

I actually think all of his victims got together and decided to stagger out their coming-forward dates to make sure he doesn't get to serve all his meagre sentences concurrently. Which would be fucking brilliant if I may say so myself.

@reporterchris: Andrei Kostitsyn wants to return to the NHL after four years in Russia. Believed to be some preliminary talks ongoing for a one-year deal.

Well of course he does with the KHL going to hell in a handbasket. I want no piece of either Tit brother on the Flames.

has he served anything meaningful so far? didnt he get to live in some exotic country recently?

He did 3.5 years I think and is in the middle of a 5 year sentence (that was originally only 2 years because the original judge was a fucktard). Either way, it's not long enough.

Let's keep on trying the same thing over and over again, who knows, we might get a different result...

Moves like that are psycho.

Hitch is a great coach and he will be in the HHOF one day, but he has one playoff series win in his last 10 seasons as a head coach. If I'm a Blues fan, I'm not happy about this news.

I agree, If I was a Blues fans I would be getting vertigo with all these early playoff exits.

On twitter, I saw one person suggest the Habs and Blues should swap Backes and Plekanec? What would you think of that?

Habs fans would be doing the happy dance if that trade went down.

Honestly the only time I see Backes is when the Habs play the Blues so I really do not know much about him. Stats wise they look pretty similar.
Pleks is very consistent but I they often have him playing more of a defensive role. Plus it seems like he often gets jokers on his line that cannot keep up.

I think it was dreger yesterday saying the Blues were waiting to see what Tippett was doing in Zona ... maybe the Hitch extension indicates Tippett stays in Glendale

i would describe Backes as a more chaste, less yeastmode Kesler

C'mon Joel, a little DC discount...

Sounds like one or two of Berglund, Oshie, and Backes could be available according to Bobby Mac...

Berglund won't fetch them all that much at this point.

Oshie and Backes are good players but I don't see them getting a whole lot that would help the Blues next year. Those type of guys generally bring in young roster players, prospects or picks in some form of combination.

Maybe the Blues need a goalie.

I'd happily have the Sens send them the Hamburgler and Jared Cowen for Oshie or Backes.

More on the Bluez...

So what gives? Defenseman Jay Bouwmeester was a huge disappointment, but his massive contract makes moving him difficult.

Hockey Guy: Hitchcock stays, so which Blues must go? : Sports

/Should have held onto Kris Russell
//Sure glad they didn't
