Remember when HW first showed up at the old CC and claimed to a man.

Not true. People just assumed that with all my hockey intelligence and sources I HAD to be a man. I just played along until Donny pointed out my avatar.

Yes, I would. But I doubt that Anaheim would.

I think some of what we are seeing is NHL owners and GM's in the US running their teams like they would an NBA, NFL, or MLB franchise. In the NBA you can pretty much be competitive with 3 players making huge cash and eating up 50%, or more, of your total salary cap. Those 3 guys can almost guarante...

Honestly I'd love to have Getzlaf on the Canucks.

It's a bad contract. Way too much for what he contributes. I'd pay him that for 3 years but not 8. They gotta give that to Perry now.

He bought himself that extra year by signing before July 1st. I can't believe he is getting that much. Look for Perry to take the same deal.

Like helmets. The players resisted and resisted. Even claiming it lessened endorsement opportunities because with the helmet they were not as easily recognizable. It had to be forced on them. I think visors will go the same way. All these guys grow up with face shield then visors so there is no legi...

Wear your visors kids!

That was nasty. I sure hope he didn't get Mannied.

I don't see them making a Luongo trade now. The off season if they have more money who knows but it ain't gonna happen now. They got lucky last season and tried to run with it this season but came crashing down to earth.

Mike Brown traded to Oilers for a 4th rounder.

Nonis says that Komisarek has not asked to be traded but has said he will not stand in the way of a deal should Nonis be able to deal him. Nonis looking to move him.

Cam Ward out for 6-8 weeks (essentially the season) http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=417351 News1130 Sports ‏@News1130Sports #Canucks defenseman Keith Ballard's agent Ben Hankinson says he will be calling the Canucks today regarding his client.

Theodore may be done for the season with a torn groin. Ouch.

Apparently the NHL is supposed to flag players who need to clear waivers to re-join the league in situations like this so GM' s can get a quick check before making a move like this. The NHL for some reason did not flag ROR. The league has said that would not have been a defence for Calgary not doing...

In case anyone was wondering, Ryan O'Reilly has taken his medical with COL and signed his contract with the Avalanche.

What could have been. It really would have been nice to have some intrigue.

There are already news releases on the official Avalanche site saying they are matching and a synopsis of Sherman's news conference. I doubt they are back tracking.........but if they do...........DANCING BANANAS I'm hearing that both the Flames and the Avs are asking for an official ruling from th...
