Smyth/Kopitar/Williams Purcell/Moller/Brown Frolov/Handzus/Simmonds Clune/Stoll/Westgarth (Harrold, Lewis) Johnson/Scuderi Doughty/Greene Hickey/SOD (Drewiske) Bernier Quick Or, as I like to think of it: 25/35/25 20/20/30 35/20/15 5/15/5

The Poetry of the HF Boards

I didn't get to look at the HF Boards on the topic of the Smyth trade until it was all wrapped up with a bow on it. Here are the first several pages of comments, with minimal editing to reduce "noise." Holy ****ing ****! So this is Deano's big move predictable isnt he supposed to be lombardi's...

New Post, in which, instead of earning money, I decide to crunch cap figures related to the preposterous Sedin twins to L.A. UFA rumor

Here's why I don't think the swedish twins in socal rumor makes any sense, especially not Deano sense. Math. The twins want $12MM/year. The Kings, after re-signing Johnson and Purcell, then adding $12MM for the Sedins, would be at at least $58MM. $59MM if Hickey makes the team. So we have to dump...

From Sportsnet.ca: A trade rumor I want to say is idiotic but is probably just ... well, I hope it doesn't happen. Not for Simmonds anyway.

Meanwhile, 300 km up Highway 2, rumours persist that Edmonton GM Steve Tambellini is shopping one of his four offensive defenceman in an attempt to kickstart the rebuild in Edmonton.

From (the great) Matthew Barry: I Loved All The Things That DIDN'T Happen!

1) Tavares - So Dreger and the Union Leader and almost everyone else on XM204 was saying Duchene was going first - THAT didn't happen and it didn't seem like there was ever any doubt it was Tavares. Dreger -- so plugged in, and yet... 2) Brian Burke's failure to move up - yes, he good a great...

It is Believed that Darren Dreger at TSN May Have Been Among Those Mentioned as Someone Who Possibly Could Be Pulling S*** Out of His *ss

Here's the text of Dreger's recent "report" with my comments/interpretation in bold [I'm having a bit of formatting trouble with the quotations, so I put everything from the Dreger article in italics; Dreger italics, bold me]: [begin Dreger:] The conversations surrounding Tampa Bay Lightning...

Crackpot Roster Musings: Kings 09-10

by Quisp on Apr 22, 2009 10:44 AM PDT on Jewels From The Crown

Assumptions: Kings sign one of Hossa, Gaborik or Havlat. Kings keep the number five pick and select MSP, Kane or Duchene, whoever is left. FORWARDS: If Hossa or Havlat: Frolov/Kopitar/Hossa-Havlat Williams/Stoll/Brown [North American drive-to-the-net ass-kicking, hits and...

Original post date: Thursday, October 18, 2007So I WAS going to give you guys another Hidden Gem, but I decided to go with a recap instead. Mostly because I won't have access to a TV in a couple of days and decided to focus on games instead of the random stuff I do. So tonight's game against the...
