Kassian is damn entertaining.

He's like the anti Linden Vey. Lindey Vey sucks.

Just looking at pictures of the guy makes me laugh.

If you're having a bad day, just Google Image some Zack Kassian action.

Like what is even going on in this picture?

I think he's trying to count how many Penalty minutes he's accumulated that night. :lol:

But seriously, I have to agree with you on Kaptain Kave Man Kassian. The guy just seems to want to raise hell and have fun out there. I can live with that and the lost hair that it would cause because at least he's not twinkle-toes Vey out there. He's both fun and aggravating at the same time - which beats depressing and aggravating in Vey's case IMHO. If only WD could live with it too - it's not like they're contending anymore.
Love the Sport. Love the Team.

Hate the League.

In much the same manner that Harold Druken was. :lol:

I really don't care if they keep him another year, I just don't think he's going to "get it".

Like watching waterheads tie their shoes.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Babcock reportedly in contract negotiations this a.m., as I type this, with the Buffalo Sabres. Some reports indicated the deal could be a lifetime type contract reported to be near $50 million USD. Babcock has indicated he will make a decision regarding Buffalo as early as possible today.

Don Sweeny named new GM in Boston.
The only HW the Canucks need

I would actually love this.

All those annoying Red Wings fans at the office would be gutted, AND this would increase the odds that Eichel actually ends up being better than McDavid.

Wouldn't it be awesome for the Oilers to have picked the wrong player in both the Taylor/Tyler and McJesus/Eichel sweepstakes?

Apparently the Babcock sweepstakes is down to Toronto and Buffalo. He is supposed to decide today.

Detroit's final offer was reportedly 5 years @ $4M per.

McKenzie has said the leaves made an aggressive offer. I doubt billionaire Pegula will be outbid, though, and Buffalo has the brighter future. Bozak or Eichel...hmmmmm.

Where were you guys getting your info?

http://www.tsn.ca/leaves-and-blues-last- ... s-1.287208

It's down to Toronto and St. Louis.

Blues could be a really good fit for Babs.....a fairly loaded team that is ready to take that next step, and he could be the guy to help them do it.

leaves will be a disaster for him. Part of me hopes they get him and everything continues to go to shit.
