sweep the leg

I'd take that bet.

Funny, I always thought that whether you are unionized or not, you still had to pass the same standards to be qualified as a journeyman. Ooops. Sorry. More logic. Have to pass the same standards yes. Union labour is not unqualified labour. If you are going to make an argument against unionized labour it would be that it generally costs more and is less productive. If you are forced to hire unionized workers then you can only hire out of union shops. That takes many very good companies out of play as options for subcontracting. It narrows down and limits options and effects cost control. That's just straight up logic for you. When cost control is effected, so too will the final product. I can't believe they're legally able to uphold that requirement. The NDP doesn't even pretend it's not beholden to unions.

Seem to recall they both were on CHI when they won. So Ladd has 2? Yes, Ladd has won twice.

Let's just pray it's not Toronto... I could live with anybody but Toronto or Philly. Hopefully he goes to a market that appreciates hockey.

God, I hope this isn't the case. Talk about a momentum killer. Pavs is 5-9 in his career vs. Ottawa, with a 3.27 GAA and a .905 SV%. To be fair, he has numbers like that against most of the other teams too...

Absolutely ridiculous how they managed to eff this up so badly.

Crosby's never been a FA.

Arguably the most embarrassing moment in CFL history was "Rider Nation" winning the Commisioner's Award in 2010.

He's been our starter from the day the Jets came back until about 2 months ago. That's why people are "pretending" he was a starter.

Pretty thought provoking stuff...

I'm no Pavelec defender but that's not even slightly accurate.

Bourque was probably included to balance cap issues for the Ducks.

Not really any new thoughts in there. People have been saying this years. He and "anonymous" really wrap themselves in glory in the comments section...

Giordano possibly out for the season. That's not going to help the Flames make the playoffs. I'd like to see them make it, but I don't think they will.

Sure their equipment helps. Shooters also have composite sticks now compared to the logs they used to carry. Goalie equipment was out of control for awhile, but they've scaled it back a lot in the past few years.

Watching old highlights of goalies falling backwards after slapshots from the top of the circle beat them are pretty funny. Shows how far goaltending has come. Most of today's goalies are big guys too. The days of guys like Darren Pang are over.

The Clarkson trade seems like a good deal for both sides. Horton's contract wasn't insured so Columbus was on the hook for the full amount whether he ever plays again or not.

I'd love to see them get in ahead of the Bruins. The trade isn't the end of the world for them in turns of giving up too many picks, it's just more than I would have given. It's not like they don't have any youth in their system. Hopefully it works out for them.

What a haul Too much for him at this stage of his career.

You think they keep all of them around? Unless Grigsby got some balls surgically added in the offseason he's not as good as the other two guys. Call me over sensitive but really beginning to think you don't like Grigsby. He gave us high hopes coming outta camp after.cottons injury... Then we realized he can't block, barely catch and is a lightweight when any contact happens... Any dislike is based upon his brutal season with us AND then blaming everyone but himself.. That's just incorrect... catching is one of the things he is good at... I believe there was even discussion around here about how effective is would be in the slot... His blocking was also very good. One of the factors sited by O'Shea for why he kept his job so long.

Flyers equipment guy says there's no truth to the poster story.

I like this deal. We have so many good prospects that a 3rd and 5/6 aren't a big deal. I like him as a player more than Bergenheim, and what we paid is a better deal than it took to get Winnik. He's a decent two way player, but is a little soft. Hopefully the intensity of a playoff push will be inspiring to him.

Agreed. It pains me to say this, but I think Grigsby will have a decent season for you guys. He looked good at times for you guys last season.

Lawless says the Leafs are asking for Burmi & a 2nd for Winnik. I wouldn't even respond. Hang up the phone and walk away.
