I hope Jagr plays anther dozen years overseas. Being a couple years younger than him....the day Jagr stops playing is the day I feel old.

 

[Triumph]

The only thing more shocking than Jagr still playing is that he's teammates with Andre Lakos, the prospect the Devils traded for Valeri Kamensky in 2002.

Feel bad for Larsson.

 

[Darkauron]

Damn poor Lars

 

[glenwo2]

That sucks for Lars.

I really had nothing against him as a person or a player.

I will be forever grateful that he helped us land a Hart-Trophy winner.

Hope he recovers.

 

[Brodeur]

Bummer for Lars. I was watching hockey on one TV with the volume off and saw he blocked a shot at the end of the 2nd and was noticeably hobbling. I wasn't paying close enough attention, but it looks like he finished the game.

 

[MadDevil]

Edmonton needs a RHD, Carrick for Draisatl...oh wait Chiarelli isn't there anymore...damn.

 

[OmNomNom]

lou's a jerk for jerking that jerk around

i hope he gets a chance and blows up elsewhere

 

[Nemo4]

I don't post much... Or at all. But I found this pretty funny. Never change, Lou!

Not only did he finish the game, he blocked two more shots on the same shift.

Hope he recovers quickly.

He was just on waivers and no one claimed him. What could the Isles possibly get for him?

For a guy who scored 28 his rookie year and 40 this past year, that seems like a bargain

 

[RyGuy]

If he gets traded, the other team can send him down right away since he already cleared. So as a reclamation project, maybe a late pick?

Presumably somebody could send back a junky contract or similarly disappointing prospect. I imagine maintaining flexibility with the 50 contract limit stopped some teams from considering waiver claims. Shero basically did a preemptive version of that with Quenneville/Hayden. Although at this point, I'm not sure many teams would want to take a chance on Ho-Sang.

Hypothetically, would Anaheim deal Daniel Sprong for Ho-Sang? Sprong's on a one way deal, so Anaheim's paying him 700K to play in the minors while Ho-Sang would only make 70K. Anaheim's generally been a budget team, so saving 630K might be desirable. But whether the Islanders would want a similar but more expensive winger is another question.

NHL.com players poll: Stanley Cup champion

Hah, we got 1 vote. Also thought it was interesting that the Leafs only got 1 vote. Small sample size but makes you wonder about how they're perceived league-wide.

[OmNomNom]

great deal, 6.5 per. interesting it goes past his 35s

 

[Bcap88]

Anyone think kovAlchuk could be a trade target for us ?

 

[Darkauron]

No

 

[FooteBahl]

Does he play goalie or left D?
