Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Randy Miller is a scumbag mother fucker. I've had words with him in the press box before. Fucker doesn't even understand the difference between icing and intentional offsides.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Randy Miller is the worst, so I shot him this:
Silas DoGood @PecoooPowerplay 7m @RandyJMiller, folks. True professional right there. A+ journalism. Good for you, pal. |

I'm thinking Bryz ends up back in Phoenix/Seattle. Edit, just saw this; Flyers will pay Bryzgalov approximately $1.63M each of the next 14 yrs to not play for team. |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
James Mirtle @mirtle
Bryzgalov will end up making about $40-million for his two years for the Flyers. I want that job. I'd deal with media shit for 2 years and $40mil. |

I've ripped Miller in a few tweets already as well as seen a handful of bloggers and online media guys rip him apart. Most of my timeline is filled with fans destroying him. He's a piece of shit.

Also with the Bryz. He's getting $23 million over 14 years of uncapped money, which is peanuts to a franchise that makes well over that in revenue a year

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Flyers management needs to be cleaned out.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Why would you go out there, pay all that money for a goaltender, and then buy him out because he was a "locker room cancer"? Didn't anyone do any homework on the guy? You have Chris Pronger on your roster, and you didn't go to him and say, "Hey Chris, we're thinking about signing Ilya, good idea? Is he batshit crazy?". Honestly, every time the Flyers take one step forward, they take four steps back. |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
They still have a pretty young team that has potential, but they have 0 defense and 0 goaltending.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Funny people mention the CBJ....
Was listening to Hockey Central on Fan590 over the lunch hour, and they were saying that the CBJ have asked the Flames for permission to speak with Miikka Kiprusoff in an effort to get him to stick around the NHL and sign there. That all makes less than zero sense to everyone else right? I mean, he's all but confirmed he's retiring. Granted Kipper has regressed a little from his top level form, but why would you bring him in anyway? So he can back up the reigning Veznia winner? Or is it to make Bobrovsky compete for his job? It's a head scratcher folks. |

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
More security here than in the KHL. I think he stays. Hope he does for their sake. He leaves, yeah just fold cause you finally catch a break and get a guy who comes to you and does well, instead of the other way around, and you can't keep him.
|
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
I honestly think CBJ will be a very decent team next year if he stays. They played so well down the stretch and will be adding 4 top prospects (3 first round picks and Ryan Murray).
I was talking to a guy who works for the team and he said this was the first time ever they had a core of guys stay in Columbus during the offseason to work together. |

Lou is not going to the Flyers. They'd have to clear a lot more space to make that work under the cap. The two most likely places for Lou is my mind? Places he's already been. NYI or FLA.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Fun story time!
Everyone (at least used to) shit on Kane for being a bit of a dilll-hole however I was listening to Prime Time Sports last night (Canada's biggest sporst radio show - should really check it out 4pm-7pm EST 590 TheFan, outta Toronto) Anyway, Scotty Bowman was on talking all things Hawks and shared a great story, showing Kane's true colours. When he was an 18 year old rookie he acutally lived with Stan Bowman, who was an assistant GM at the time (I think). It came the time when he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, things were understandable tense/sad/un-nerving around the house. Stan was constantly in treatment, and when he was at home was always sleeping. He offered to put Kane up somewhere else to get away from it all. Kane flatly tuned him down, and said he wanted to be there to help. To help with their 4 and 8 (again, I think..at the time) year-olds. Scotty referred to Kane as being a secondary father figure for the boys during those tough, tough times. He would get home after a game or whatever and spend tons of time with them, helping in anyway he could. Perhaps some of you were already privy to this story, but it certainly opened my eyes and changed my perspective on the guy immensely. :thumbsup Patty Kane, now go slay some bitches. |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Luongo will only be in orange and black if he gets bought out. Flyers obviously won't trade him, per Tim's post.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
I listened to Torts' presser yesterday. He seems genuine in his realization, and efforts to better himself as a person (ie, not be such a dick-hole)

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
I said the other day to someone, if this sidelines him for an indefinite amount of time because he played instead of not, it could be bad. He's way too important to that team. Wings Brent Gilchrist missed almost 2 seasons because he played on an injured groin..but it was Brent Gilchrist.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Looks like Ference won't be back with the Bruins. A great teammate and leader, even if his on-ice skills have diminished over the past season or so. He's being pushed out by all the youngsters in Boston's organization (Bartkowski, Krug, Dougie), but I'm sure he'll land himself a 1-2 year deal with another team looking for some leadership. I actually wouldn't mind him as a 6-7 guy on the Avs.
|
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
I think he's better than a 6-7 guy on the Avs. Probably more of a 4-5 guy.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
I do not want Luongo, can you imagine how awful this thread will be with lockman and bonzo ridiculing the Flyers even more so. I don't think I could take it

Jagr will not be back with the Bruins. There was a report out there yesterday that some Hawks players were saying after the game they thought he'd go to Chicago.
|
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Bruins are not in a great cap situation. Jagr, Horton, Peverley, and Ferrence are all probably gone. Have to pay Rask and hope some of the forwards from Providence can come up and pick up the slack.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Interesting about Horton. He'd be a great addition for the Pens if the B's can't resign him.

I stayed in the same hotel as the Hawks down in STL the year after the first cup (oh my god I love saying that). I met the whole team. Kane was very nice and was friendly with everyone.
Jonathan Toews and Patrick Sharp were absolutely the shit. |

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Already a big day. Vinny being bought out by TBL. $$ wise makes 10000% sense but marketing-wise they could take a hit. There's another UFA for July 5th. I think he heads to the Habs since all those rumors for years.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread

I think he goes to the Habs as well. Maybe the Leafs though. |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
I'd take him on the Wings for a cheap short-term deal. He'd actually be better on a team like the Wings than Leafs or Habs in my mind cause he'd be part of a team instead of being expected to be a big point producer.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Eric Francis was just speculating but brought up a point. Reunite with Feaster in Calgary. If I had a choice it sure wouldn't be Calgary.
|
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Now that I think about it, he wouldn't be a terrible fit in Colorado. We've got the cap space (he'll be making significantly less anyways), and is that experienced, talented vet the Avs really need on their roster. I'm not crazy about getting him, but he would fit in, methinks, especially if the Avs are able to trade Stastny and (fingers crossed) draft Seth Jones (yeah, right).
EDIT: And yes, Tim, I can also see him in the winged wheel. |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
So do they go ahead and give Stamkos the "C" in TB? Or do they let St. Louis serve out the rest of his career as captain? I've kinda jumped on the give-your-young-star-the-C-and-let-him-grow-into-it bandwagon, but it would be cool to see St. Louis get it for a couple years. He deserves it.
Of course, that all depends on St. Louis remaining a Lightning. But I'm thinking with Lecavalier going, St. Louis stays. |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Stamkos is what I'd do. Let him take over the locker room now.
