lol & smh @ Hossa. In Chicago, at his welcome press confrence, he said "It's great to be in a hockey town." Where did he think he was playing for the past year?

Hossa just seems to know exactly what to say in his new town that will completely alienate the old town.


Until this comment, i think the majority of Wings fans would've wished Marian well. They understood that this was most likely a one-shot deal with him.

Now?

You start to understand why Pittsburgh held so much venom for him this year...

Exactly. tongue
He was sidelined his entire sophmore season last year because he broke his leg in training camp...and re-broke it over Christmas. He only made it back for 3 playoff games.

Looks like Jeremy Roenick is retiring today. Sucks he never won a Cup.

Especially in the last two years. tongue

He'll definetly be missed here in San Jose. I'd really like for him to become a full time broadcaster. Those would be some entertaining games, no matter who is playing.

Apparently during the press confrence someone asked if he would be back in the NHL in another capacity. JR said said "Absolutely, a good friend of mine may help me out there," and he looked over at Sharks GM Doug Wilson so it looks like he may be in the San Jose front office at some point.

I understand Jim Basillie will be allowed to join the Phoenix Coyotes' auction. Sparks will fly.

Well, today San Jose traded Lukowich and Erhoff to Vancouver for Rahimi and White.

Radio guy on Rahimi and White: "These guys have more of future as prospectors than prospects."

Translation: Salary dump. The Sharks are after Heatley or perhaps Kessel.

Yes it's a salary dump but no way are the Sharks after Heatley any more. Erhoff was a key piece of the rumored Heatley deal and with him gone I don't see it happening. Doug Wilson was just making the necessary cap room so the Sharks can simply fill a lineup. Before this trade San Jose was like 3 players short with only $500k of cap room left. I would have liked to get a draft pick in this deal but when you're bumping up against the cap you gotta take what you can get.

As a San Jose fan I'm not gonna miss either of these guys too much. Luko was our #7 D-Man on a good day and Vancouver fans should get used to hearing announcers say "Erhoff...just wide!" because they'll be saying it a lot. "Error-hoff" is good on the PK but makes some questionable choices back in his own zone.
