Ongoing NHL thread - Part III

That's a nice signing by the Ducks though, business is picking up again in the Pacific Division.

/On another note, what's wrong with the Preds this season, they get shellacked by the Ducks last night.

Darn it, I had just dropped him, too, after reading a report that he might not sign until the Dec. 1 deadline. And in that league, I'm not allowed to place a waiver claim on him since I dropped him, so I have to hope no one else picks him up until I can get him on Saturday.

In a culture where everything is deep fried (including pickles), it is a medical mystery. . .

And where it's too damned hot to do anything outside for half the year.

It's funny, when I was working down in Houston quite a few years ago and told people I was from Calgary, they'd always ask how I could live in a place that gets so cold. I'd tell them Calgary wasn't so bad, sure we get some cold weather occasionally, but you just have to dress for the conditions. The flip side is you can only take off so many layers of clothes before you end up in the hoosegow.

It's glandular!!

I used to spend some time in South Carolina and saw the same couple twice. Hubby is driving and his missus is in the bed of the truck. One time she was eating a drumstick (fried of course). You can't make this stuff up.

An apparel company would have to make a 3 person tent to fit this lady.

It's going to be a sad day when Bobby Mac retires, it's pretty clear that there's few NHL GM's/executives who like Dreger and they're not going to give him the time of day.

We'll still have Eklund though!!!

That's always been my theory as well. As tough as the winters were in Buffalo growing up, the summers suck just as much in Charlotte.

And I don't have the money to be a snowbird yet either.

EDIT: Did you ask any of them if they'd been to the Stampede?

lol - Nope, don't want to provoke any of the locals.

/I mean, you gotta watch your step in Texas.

Clearly there's a locker room Cancer and/or a defenseman who takes too many chances. But who could it be?

Maybe Josi is doing too much roman in the offensive zone?

What a ridiculous statement!!

Their struggles clearly stem from the fact that their #1 center doesn't block enough shots.

When he'd be the perfect guy to block shots considering how much of a fat, doughy bastard he is. They would just absorb into him.

SO GLAD MY TEAM DOESN'T HAVE SOMEONE LIKE THAT

Craig Anderson of the Sens has been granted a leave of absence from the team to deal with a personal matter.

Breaking News:

The personal matter is a legal name change. Craig does not want to be confused with the Danish sieve.

Yeah. I wouldn't want Ryan Dough-hansen on my team either.

All the best to Andy and his family. Whatever the issue, I hope it's resolved for the better.

Nothing but my best wishes to Anderson and his family at this time.

Guess Pulkkinen wasn't doin so hot:

Yup, or other guys (like Eriksson Ek) have made Pulkkinen expendable.
