Very true.


Another busy day...Pens signed Brooks Orpik, Miroslav Satan, and Ruslan Fedotenko, in addition to locking up Marc-Andre Fleury for a long term deal. I think that Satan and Fedotenko, who both signed one year deals, will fit in and be fairly productive goal scorers with Geno and Crosby. Both'll probably be gone after this coming season, but we'll take it for now. Unfortunatley Georges Laroque signed with the Canadiens. No more black hockey players in the 'burgh. sad

Rangers signed Markus Naslund. I doubt Jagr is coming back to NYR now, he might go back to Pittsburgh though, maybe finish his NHL career there?

There have been rumors about that. We'd stop booing him, that's for sure. As long as he didn't have a low-class exit again. It'd be an interesting proposition, that's for sure.

Well here comes last place. The Canucks need to trade Luongo and start over.

Well it ain't happenin, Jagr is going to Russia. I think it's more than safe to say that his NHL career is over with.

Well Blake isn't as good as Campbell nowadays but it seems like the Sharks got Boyle from Tampa. Blake and Boyle could just be the final puzzle for the Sharks' chance to win the Cup.

The Lowe/Burke dustup was pretty damn funny. Lowe had obviously kept a lot of feelings bottled up there. grin

I think they're both acting real immature. Obviously, Burke hates Lowe for how he got Penner and Lowe hates Burke for losing Pronger to the Ducks right after Pronger took the Oilers to the Finals and then seeing Pronger win the Cup for Burke. Just imagine if Burke goes to Toronto, then we'll have two whining GM's in Canada!
