Last thread was talking about:
-Ilya Kovalchuk in Russia and his long journey back to New Jersey
-White Bear Lake having 2 high school buildings, 1 Ryan Carter and 0 state hockey titles
-Evander Kane replacing American hockey dominance as the bane of the Winnipeg media's existence (on another note, thank God MSP has more teams where our columnists don't go crazy on that)
-Free stuff other teams are giving away

Retirement Looms for Bruno and Rolston

My favorite part of the article:

Rolston: "I was just texting with [former New Jersey teammate] Zach [Parise]. He will so love playing there, just the energy in the building compared to what he's used to."

#NHL trade deadline looking like April 3, although it is NOT officially signed off on yet #mnwild

Nice to have even a tentative date.

No need. They're already talking about it.

 

[Jarick]

Oh I'm so happy we took their captain.

 

[BusQuets]

No need. They're already talking about it.

Oh my.. Devils fans have been taking some hits these past months. Losing Parise and now this thing about Kovie who is supposed to be their franchise player doesn't even want to come back. And then someone takes a shot at their atmosphere. Next thing they probably probably lose their lottery pick...

ftfy.

My favorite part of the article:

Damn Rolston! Throwing Prudential Center under the bus! He really knows he isn't getting another NHL job.

 

[Jarick]

Rolston's earned it. The Devils traded him TO LONG ISLAND. Poor guy.

 

[Avder]

Why does all this misfortune heaped on the Devils make me smile so?

 

[TheeNorthStar]

Because the Devils suck.

 

[Fel 96]

Well, the fun is over.

Kovy is coming back to NJ on Jan. 15th.

-White Bear Lake having 2 high school buildings, 1 Ryan Carter and 0 state hockey titles

You're selling us short, don't forget our 1 Fargo cameo

Touche. I don't know why but White Bear Lake having 2 separate buildings for 1 HS has always fascinated me.

-Evander Kane replacing American hockey dominance as the bane of the Winnipeg media's existence (on another note, thank God MSP has more teams where our columnists don't go crazy on that)

Usually the Sun is OK but the pant-s***ing regarding every perceived wrong with Kane is nuts. Ever since he allegedly didn't pay a dinner bill, he's continuously gotten thrown under the bus. Folks who suggest he needs to be traded are idiots. How many teams would trip over themselves to get a guy like him?

 

[Jaykay]

Touche. I don't know why but White Bear Lake having 2 separate buildings for 1 HS has always fascinated me.

You and everyone else; whenever I met people in college and told them about it they were completely dumbfounded by that concept. Not only did we have two buildings but they were 15 ****ing minutes away from each other! It made it hell for underclassmen on varsity sports teams who had to get to practice at the 11-12 building. There were positives though, you became very close with the class above and below you, and as a freshman you didn't have to deal with seniors and vice versa.

I swear Guillaume Latendresse reads every mention he gets on Twitter. (Some of those are about his grammar sadly...)

When someone asked him he's expecting to play with whose, he replied "that's a good question".

Hearing once MOU is signed by NHL and NHLPA - we're still waiting and don't know exactly when - signings/trades legal 2 hours after that.

The conversation between HI and Luongo is hilarious.

Wonder who the 12 no votes were.
