sweep the leg

Chad Owens

My guess is that a 3 import OL means Leggett would lose his job to a Canadian. This would only work if Alexander is back healthy.

What did he do now? I missed it. I remember last year here in Edmonton he had a real hissy fit - cost his team about 60 yards (in penalties) over something really selfish. He was even arguing with his coaches on the sidelines. We were all laughing at him and cheering him on as the flags kept mounting. He'll fit right in in Toronto lol. He was fighting with teammates on the sideline again. He also played like crap...

Not surprising. He has a lot of baggage in Regina, & the way he acted during the game last week was ridiculous.

I'm not a doctor (I just play one on tv...), but I'm 99.9% sure they wouldn't have given him demerol. He would have been having a nap on the bench if they pumped him full of that drug.

If Greaves is out, my guess is Goossen & centre with Morley & Neufeld at guard.

Always Sunny in Phi. is good. It's long gone now, but Flight of the Conchords is up there as one of my favourite shows.

So you're a Nickleback fan that won't watch a comedy that doesn't have a laughtrack? Some people are even worse than hipsters...

Couldn't agree more. I loved it and still watch it on FX now.

I just saw this too. I wonder if they've kissed and made up? edit: Never mind. Naylor just said we're expected to release him later today. So why would he be at the game?

By my rough count Legwand would be the #2 centre on approx. 1/3 of the teams in the league.

Downie to Pens for 1 yr / $1M. Love the way they're filling out their bottom six.

Sure, they can play a top six role for us if we decide to run a McDavid campaign. Why don't you think Vrbata is a good player? He's put up decent numbers the past three seasons while playing with guys who aren't known for their offensive accumen.

Orpik, Bolland, & Engelland are the worst contracts of the day. Niskanen's contract could also be ugly if he can't play the rest of his career like he did last season. He's only had one really good season. Pouliot's smells a little too. I thought Pittsburgh had a very good day. Upgraded their bottom six, got a good backup goalie, & a very good dman on a bargain contract. All things they really needed.

He did nothing to breach his contract so why would should Banks be forced to give his signing bonus back? The original reports that he went home on his own would have been a breach of his contract. That's why I thought that. Apparently that's not what happened though.

What a way to possibly end his career. If he never comes back, I hope there's someway to get that signing bonus back.

Bombers put Banks on the suspended list today.

So much for "do anything to win" he was preaching when we traded for him. If he's asking for his release he should have to pay his bonus back.

You're both ridiculous.

Not yet it isn't, but it certainly looks to be heading in that direction.

Too early. I could actually see Howard taking January's job next season. Bombers are high on him and January isn't getting any younger. He's only 31. He's got several good years left.

Chalk this one up as an "oops" if this is true and we can't get anything for him. Poblah & the cash are sunken costs though, so we can't keep him just b/c of what he cost us.

His skating is being compared to Pavel Bure. Most points in the Q by a rookie since Crosby. Tonnes of skill, he just needs to get bigger.

Barring injury, Hornqvist will put up 35 goals playing with Malkin. First time in his career he'll play with a legit #1 centre. It will be very interesting to see how Neal does skating with Fisher instead of Malkin. Again barring injury, or more likely for Neal a suspension, I think he'll still be somewhere in the 30s.
