Not sure where to put this but thoughts, prayers and best wishes to the new Foligno girl and the Foligno family. Hope their new baby daughter is able to be healed and gets healthy soon.

Smid to Calgary.

Awful. Oilers aren't even trying anymore.

Wait a sec...http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=436181....

Wait another sec-maybe signing Bryz is giving up

Maybe the Hemsky to Columbus move 7 years in the making is finally happening?

Niles got to Edmonton and decided he wasn't hot for Hemsky after all.

Rick Nash on the ice with goalies and extras today. Not sure what it means for time line but obviously a good thing

That's the first positive report I've seen on Rick's recovery and it is certainly welcome news!

I'm not sure how that can be read as anything but good news and I'm so happy to see it!

I can't understand how the Oilers can have all that talent and continue to be such a bottom dweller. I've heard Yakupov is struggling, but what about all the other young players. Are they not improving? Is it that they give up more than they get?

Rnh hasn't been the stud he was in his rookie year, you mentioned Yakupov, Hall has some injuries, they have horrible defense and goaltending, and Eberle won't backcheck and tries to do it all by himself (A better Zherdev.)

Nick Holden with his first career goal tonight. Good for him.

Understand why he wasn't re-signed here, but I wish the CBJ could have gotten some kind of asset for him.

They probably attempted to re-sign him, but knowing how far back he was on the depth chart, and how deep our defense is, he had to go look elsewhere. Very happy for him

so he can get make the 1st place AVS but he can't make the CBJ who kinda stink again this year??

You do realize there are other players involved, right?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Because when he signed with the Avs they were in first place and were regarded as to having one of the top defensive units in the league.. yep.

How dare you bring context into an internet argument. You know that's against the rules!!!!

 

[Fro]

nevermind he's playing winger and not defense....

wrong dude...he just played one game forward to fill in for injury, sorry I touched a nerve and enjoy your season!

They're why I'm against tanking. It destroys the team "culture" to such an extent that all the talent in the world can't stop the sucking.

How surprised can you be when you enter the conversation like this:

Stamkos just broke something in his leg

If Eberle does it all by himself, Eberle sure does put up a lot of assists. He backchecks just fine too. Classic CBJ fan attitude, always complaining about skill players...
