You would keep your mouth shut too if you had Mike Babcock giving you the stink eye. Pretty sure that's the only thing that kept him reigned in.

Still, even after hardly playing (and sucking when he did), he was what, like second in line to hoist the Cup? :rolleyes

Sorry. My disdain for Chelios is already well documented enough.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Actually played quite a bit in 2008 until the finals and didn't play at all. 2009 was the year he signed for under $1mil and barely played the whole season. He was loved in that locker room. But yes he was one of the first guys to get the Cup. Drake was #1 and that's the only one that matters to me.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

drake like the rapper?

I thought he was a toronto maple leafs fan?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

yeah they brought him out cause the Leafs will never win again so they felt bad for him.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Looks like Kimmo Timonen retiring.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Flyers had a presser on Timonen. The two big quotes I pulled from the webcast...

Hextall: “The one definitive we have is that Kimmo will not play for a period of time here, meaning months,” Hextall said while addressing the media in his opening statement.

“We’ll have a follow-up appointment probably somewhere early in the new year. Basically show the progress that he’s made in regards to the blood clots, and hopefully everything is clear so we can move on to the next step. Whether Kimmo will play, we don’t know at this point. It will be more of a wait-and-see if his clots have cleared up and then move along the process from there.”

Timonen: “It was really swollen,” Timonen said. “They sent me to an ultrasound specialist and from there I was in the hospital pretty quick. Up until that point I was really excited about this year and really put a good effort to play my last year really well. But then everything changed...

“Obviously I want to play, but the chances of me playing is really slim. That’s the fact. But I’m ready to wait that chance to see how I feel, if I still have those clots in time, who knows when.”

Re: The NHL Thread
 

What do you guys think? $10 mil/year? Yeah, sounds about right for Johansen.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

LOL I bet he offered $6mil per.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Thank Jeebus they finally remembered that Jersey was the best they ever had. (I would also have taken the black and gold one with "PITTSBURGH" diagonally down the middle).

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The Pens jersey is awesome.

And :lol at OMGCG. Could have at least gone through the first full practice before "getting hurt" and being out the convenient time frame of the length of training camp.

Re: The NHL Thread
