I'm not exactly sure that 1 day of rookie camp is gonna tell us much, ie: who is standing out and who isn't. Is 7pm an odd start time for this or is that just me? i thought normally it's in the day, or is this to possibly let fans who work during the day head out to day one of camp? I cant make it but really all i'd like to know about day 1, is... how different is it than last years rookie camp, what are the coaches doing, what is oshea doing, what is etch up too, wylie.. etc is oshea driving around in a golf cart lol? cuz i really dont think 1 day of rookie camp is gonna tell us much to be honest. To those going tonight, will you also be going tomorrow and friday? cuz if so, maybe be nice to see a who has progressed and who has regressed in those 3 days. Oh and ofcourse, obviously how do the qb's look, marve specifically but brohm and willy also. max hall is max hall so dont need much about him.

i was just typing that i like this move and i guess this all but confirms that we will indeed be going with a non import field corner.

Go-SIN nice

word is he got 15,000 upfront. Not a bad deal. Bombers the only team to sign all their draft picks it seems

good news that they are talking and actually negotiating. Let's get a deal done guys.

There seems to be a misconception out there that trotz is a defensive coach and while that is somewhat true, it's not completely true. The team in nashville is a budget team, the team in washington is not, when your first line center in nashville is mike fisher, well you gotta do what you gotta do to make it work. Nashville truly is a team made up of guys not wanted by other teams outside of rinne weber jones and josi now, there is nobody else on that team that is a top line player on any team in the league, heck, you might be hard pressed to find a guy on that team who is a top 6 player on any other team (winnipeg included) It will be interesting to see how he does in washington. But to my point again, nashvilles 4 best players are 3 d men and a goalie, so yeah a coach is gonna take advantage of that.

I still feel the whole truth isn't coming out there, It's odd to me, there is an aussie radar detection system called J.O.R.N. and it reaches all the way out to where they say the plane was flying, however the interesting part is, that radar detection system didn't see anything. I'm still on the massive cover up thing and i think it is likely it could be at diego garcia military base. or its on the bottom of the indian ocean somewhere. I'm just not sure any more. And have officially lost interest. Once everyone loses interest the truth will come out.

imo jones and briggs have the possibility of being 2 very solid contributors immediately (special teams)

BTW, nate.. i don't think a guy (st louis) demanding to be traded to basically just one team (NYR) is a blockbuster. Last blockbuster if people want to call it that was probably nash to NYR or Van Riemsdyk to Toronto but at that time, JVR was basically nobody.

not really though. We got goossen and everett as prospects. Swiston is at that produce or gone part of his career, pencers rope is probably a bit longer, neufeld aint a prospect exactly... not exactly stacked, when you consider the fact that morley and CK still could have jobs with us this season, i dont think we are exactly stacked up on oline prospects.

I think It's gonna be LA vs NYR. Im hoping chicago cuz if not, it will be the first stanley cup finals i can remember where i dont watch a single game.

It's a common misconception that freedom of speech should mean you are free of the consequences from what you've said. i agree however with that being said, what did sterling say exactly? just that he didn't want his mistress hanging out with blacks. He didn't call them the n word, he just said he didn't want her hanging with the blacks, what if he said i dont want you hanging around those african american people? is it still a big deal? Just for the record, i'm not applauding sterling here or saying he's innocent, i just am asking, if what he said, in the big picture, is it really that big of a deal? or was it maybe just blown out of proportion a bit. He is an old racist for sure, it's well documented the dislike the guy has for minorities, but...outside of his cnn interview where he totally killed himself, what did he say really?

Rider Pride? oh i thought that meant something else...

Not saying they rigged it, just a couple of the analysts were implying the fix was in, not saying they did tho. Ever since losing lebron though, cleveland has had 2 first overall picks now plus another high pick.

3-2 NYR in OT. 3-1 series lead. LA up 2-1 on Chicago.

like none, maybe 1 if you want to consider the nash to nyr trade. But really, other than that, nothing.

I don't have a caption but... is that dude in the jersey an albino? get a darn tan man

It's definitely a generational gap thing. People born a long time ago were raised under different conditions, at one point blacks were used as slaves, people were hung from trees, people were hung on the streets. The world today is now way more sensitive, it's true, it's damn true.. The world wasn't so sensitive back when guys like sterling and our grandparents were born, another time, another world, im not sure most of us would have survived back then. There wasnt even an internet or cell phones or really, tv's. lets all sit around the radio. The world has changed through the years, for the better or for the worse? it's hard to say actually in the big picture. It's odd that in 'Merica, they always pride themselves on freedom of speech.. well i guess, freedom of speech only applies if most people agree with it. The World be changing again. I'm not sure how i'd feel if i was in the comfort of my own home, said something, and then the next week it was all over TMZ and the papers. I think that makes me worry a bit about what the world is actually changing in to

not so sure about that, ladd wheeler and buff werent in atlanta very long, little is pretty darn good, kane has potential regardless if people cant see it due to their dislike of him, never has had the same coach for more than a year or 2 has he? same with bogo. They are good players but for the most part are young. With young players come mistakes, it's to be expected. As much as we all praised scheif and trouba this year, they too made the same mistakes. It's all about learning, maurice under contract long term should help. This team should get better. Don't get me wrong i'd move kane and buff in a second if i got a fair offer for them, i'd want pick prospect player. Kane and pick 9 to Florida vs 1st overall, Pirri and a defensive prospect like mike mathesson is a deal i'd consider. Buff, if i'm moving him, i'm trying to get a 3rd line center and a top line winger or one of those plus a pick. To Carolina for Lindholm or Skinner and the 7th. Skinner let's say. Skinner,Scheif,Wheeler. Ladd, Little,Frolik. Im taking Sam Bennet first overall then, Him and Pirri are the start of what could be a very good 3rd line. Bennet First overall, can play lw or centre, at 7 id look at taking kevin fiala.

The problem with it isn't that it couldn't happen, it's how would it happen and where would the team play in the meantime. I find it very hard to believe you could convert the roof in one off season, especially considering the winters us folks in the prairies get. I just don't think it could be done and the team would have to play somewhere else for a while, Just not worth the hassle really to roof non roofed stadiums.

Baron would just give Sterling "THE CLAW" and he'd be out cold in a few seconds

Solid young D men are worth more than forwards generally, That's why in drafts when there are good d prospects you see a run on them instead of forward prospects, case in point was the 2012 draft there, 7 or 8 d men went in a row however, Kane probably gets you maata plus a pick. Not much else than that tho. It might get you Maata plus Bennet and a pick but... again not much more than that. I dont think the pens have any interest in moving maata anways and with toby and morrissey (sooner rather than later) and kichton even, the jets D looks ok moving forward. If you trade for maata, you'd probably have to move toby for a forward then. Maybe Toby gets you an eberle or a yakupov tho. Im not sure, we seem to undervalue toby a bit here but.. he's a pretty solid d man all things considered and those guys are worth more than forwards any day of the week.

She's definitely not black either tho, his comments were directed towards black people. I find it confusing that he is in the one in trouble when he said all this in the privacy of his own home, im not sure how this woman (if i can call her that) gets off so easily here. She is the one that actually did the worst thing and thats record a private conversation in the guys own house and then send that tape off to TMZ. Listen, sterling isn't innocent but he's also not as guilty as people are pretending he is. He is an 80 year old man with signs of dimentia, i'm not exactly sure how he can be blamed for some of the things he says. My grandmother had dimentia and later alzheimers and she thought she was a teenager again back in the 30's. That was a different time. It boggles my mind that in canada a guy like vince leigh can get off a murder charge because he has a mental disorder but... in the states, a guy with a quite obvious mental disease also gets crapped on.

I agree Jokinen is our oldest guy but upon further reflection I'd prefer we keep the old man for another season. Might only score 10 to 15 goals, he'll take his share of idiotic penalties but he's steady, fairly defensive and knows the ropes. Be nice if we could rope him down to $2.5 million rather than the big money he's not really earning now! Otherwise, cut him loose and let him take his act elsewhere. It depends really, i'm kind of on the fence on brining Jokinen back, i thought O'dell showed enough that he could essentially take Jokinens spot for pretty much 1/4 what you'd have to pay Olli to stay here. Does Olli make a huge difference? No but.. he isn't very good defensively, he's actually really awful at faceoffs, he's terrible in his own end. This isn't made up, stats back this stuff up. I think at this point, i'd take my chances on a guy like O'dell or another younger free agent signing or trade piece rather than give jokinen another year. I don't like Olli, i don't think his "leadership" is worth what he will want to be paid. Every team the guy has started the season with has never made the playoffs. That says something about his "leadership".

LOL i traded Pav to Florida for Markstrom. LOL.. He sucked so bad in that game, traded him won my next 4 games.
