Whats Naslund up to these days... I wonder if he has any interest as part of management.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

Who, and whats his other half?

Can anyone summarize the Thomas Drance piece everyone is talking about on Twitter?

I don’t have Twitter. What’s going on with Drance?

 

[Fatass]

‘94 Cup Final team guy who hit the post in game 7.

Unbelievable for two reasons, one is Megna is still playing nhl hockey

LA has called up Tyler Madden from Ontario of the AHL. Presumably he'll go on the Kings' taxi squad. But ...

this makes me mad

Only slightly related, but figured some might find this interesting: Lucas Demitra, Pavol's son, made his debut in the Slovakian top soccer league over the weekend.

Is he decent?

Is he decent?

Would have no idea on that, my knowledge of Slovak youth players is pretty limited.

From Detroit’s board:

Yeah, I can't see Yzerman not finding a way to protect Stecher. He looks like he could be a long-term piece here.

Great acquisition by Yzerman on a dirt cheap deal. I don't see how you expose him, Stetcher and Hronek should be locks to be protected. The defense could go from thoroughly mediocre - which is a huge improvement over the Holland defense corps - to very good in 2-3 years.

Top 5 pick - Seider
Wallinder - Stetcher
X - Hronek

I popped Wallinder in there because in Hakan I trust.

From Detroit’s board:

Luckily that loss is offsetted by Myers $6 million 5 year contract

 

[mathonwy]

The decline of markstrom was fast and furious. JIMBO WAS RIGHT

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

this makes me mad

It is Madden-ing...

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

The loss of Stecher is just so indefensible.
Local guy who wanted to stay here? Check.
Agreeable to a reasonable cap hit and short-term contract? Check.
Versatile and can be slotted anywhere on the defensive pairings? Check.

...but let's sign Hamonic for $450,000 less instead after Flames fans dunked on him last season.

It is infuriating.

Today I learned Ben Hutton was a Duck!

Holy cow I've been outta touch with everything outside of the North division.

Only recently have I started to find time to click around this site again... watched like 5 minutes of the Ducks game last night, so this morning I click on their board to see how Getzlaf has been doing.. and there I see a Hutton thread!

Who knew!
(probably many.. but not me)
Carry on.

Stecher made hockey look really hard.

Stecher made hockey look really hard.

Stecher was extremely serviceable. He's missed on this Canucks lineup.
Would you rather have Stecher or Benn?

Benn makes it look easy though.

Benn..
I don't miss Stecher at all.
