Trust me, it doesn't work. I once wrote a letter to Joe Sakic as a kid and that ******* never replied.

In Sakic's defense it's kinda difficult to write a letter when you're busy stuffing your hand into the operating end of a snow-blower trying desperately to avoid coming back to play for Sacco.

Apparently the D pairings are (hopefully in no particular order)
Wilson - Barrie
Guenin - Benoit
Hejda - Holden
Varly should feel right at home behind that D
I'm going to miss watching Weber and Doughty out there.

Avs did a really nice job taking pics of Landy and Duchene with their medals, I recommend checking out the gallery on the official site. So happy for those guys.

The Olympics are over.
It would be nice to see those guys hoisting a Stanley Cup overhead. Otherwise, I don't really care that much. Olympic medals are like individual awards. They are nice accolades and for better or worse are part of the determining factor for entry into the HHOF...but the Holy Grail still awaits everyone of our players not named Giguere, Sarich, Talbot or Tanguay.
Winter is coming.

It was their first day back. I think it's ok to honor their accomplishment especially since they are franchise cornerstones. Get prepared to see the medals mentioned at the game tomorrow too. Of course the only thing I care about is them winning a Cup but I like them as players too and I enjoy seeing their success. Just like when they win NHL awards and other meaningless things.

I'm glad that sarcasm smiley was there in your quote because I wasn't sure if it was there before the edit or not. Either way, I wasn't really serious about the players not being given a minute to reflect on their accomplishments or lack there of...
Either way, yes...they Olympics were a milestone..but I'm not a fan of any national team. I'm not even that big of a fan for the US (my home country)...I just don't get the extreme love of the Olympics. It's good hockey...but it only happens every four years and it doesn't even come close to matching the intensity of the playoff stretch for the NHL or the sheer animosity and talent on display for the first round of the Stanley Cup Finals, which happens every single non-lockout year.
In my opinion, since they quit throwing Christians into the ring with lions, nothing has really matched the vicious nature of sport quite like the first round of the NHL playoffs (unless you count mad muslims' throwing planes at buildings but that's not really a sport in my opinion...more like shooting fish in a barrel.)
Please...don't miss the
smiley here. I really don't hate Christians or Muslims...They just both appear to be hell bent on fighting gays now and it's not quite as fun to kick George Takei.

I would hope so.
I'm looking at teams under 500
Hoping we come out with a win.
Missing EJ already!

Can we possibly play a 1-3-2 style...
1 goalie
3 dmen
2 forwards.
Might help.
You want more of our defensemen on the ice at any given moment?
EXACTLY we actually want less, lets do a 1 4 1! lol
So, am I the only one that feels like its the first game, so excited!!!!

Making some assumptions after Roy gave out the top 6, defensive pairings, and goalie... I'd say it is about as confirmed as you can get.
