you can’t get too caught up in the timing here. again, the fate of most of these guys has already been decided.

Yup. And Cann is going to go before a vet like Grahame. Grahame will get another chance or two to look like he can handle his job and then he’ll get shipped and Boods-Who-Is-The-Suxxorz will resume his rightful place under a baseball cap on the bench.
Mile High Hockey: Significantly better than the experts predicted, just like the Avalanche.

Brampton is waiting!
he may not make up for losing the awesome Hodgson but at least it will be something for the Battalion.

I’m confused by Bordeleau not getting sent down. I thought he was on an AHL only contract (though to be honest I’m not 100% sure how that works if a NHL club wants him). I guess maybe he is sticking around to give Koci’s face a break in the Frozen Fury game.
Koci's "victory"
After what I did to Westgarth’s hand last night, he’ll never jerk off again without thinking of me.

I really don’t get Liffiton and Cann over guys like Elliott and Grahame. Defies explanation.
Bitch, give me your lunch money.
by Cheryl Bradley on Sep 23, 2010 11:47 AM MDT reply actions
My guess on Elliott is that they want to work on some specific things with him before sending him back to Junior.
As for Grahame…..maybe he’s staying with the Avs to be the Press box host? I don’t really see where he fits in Lake Erie either since I’d assume Cann and Bacashihua would be the two goalies there. I’m completely baffled as to where he fits in anywhere.
Grahame needed some more time to follow his mom around the office
saying thank you thank you thank you over and over
2010-11 Colorado Avalanche: The Asskickers of the Amazing
This, and
Grahame can go ahead and drive to Tulsa to join the Central Hockey League team there. No need to pay airfare to LEM.
See? The Schrute has his mind on his money and his money on his mind!

Maybe they unload him on Tampa so he can head to Loveland and the Eagles, and stay closer to home.

I like Durno as a 3rd or 4th call up from LEM. Agree that Winnik is much more gooderer.

Did you see this from last night? Pretty funny…after fighting with Durno, he was so shook up, Dowell couldn’t get his jersey back on correctly so he made his own hole! (TW…I can’t, I just can’t)

Chris Osgood has to be more holy than God it's the only excuse for him allowing so many bad goals.
by SportsDalaiLama on Sep 23, 2010 11:49 AM MDT reply actions
Carman, Olver, Porter, Stoa, Dupuis, Bordeleau, and Walker for the Forwards. And depending on how you look at it, I guess Koci (I’m assuming McLeod and Winnik are the only two definites for the 4th line)
Porter/Dupuis
should get the last 2 spots for FW

I’m wondering if the fact that Walker hasn’t been sent back to junior means he is a dark horse to get a 10 game look.
More likely to determine if he's AHL ready or
should go back for his overage year. This gives them plenty of time to see what he’s got at this level
2010-11 Colorado Avalanche: The Asskickers of the Amazing
Yeah, I was getting confused on his status/eligibility as a junior to play in the AHL….I get wildly confused on those rules for who can and can’t go to the minors from a junior contract.
What's the skinny on Bordeleau
Haven’t heard anything about him
by avalanchejef on Sep 23, 2010 8:05 PM MDT up reply actions
the dude has played for 9 teams in 3 years as a pro. He’s 6’6 and in 173 AHL and ECHL games he has 51 points and 357 penalty minutes.
in other words, he’s a goon

Stoa
Even if he doesn’t make the team I wouldn’t be overly worried if he doesn’t produce huge goal numbers in the AHL this year. The majority of centermen and RWs at LE will not have the passing ability that he is used to. Olver may be close but he’s more of a shooter than passer.

Walker – Keep Walker in the lineup for another game.
Sacco – Keep Walker in the lineup for another game.
Sherman – Ummm, okay.
Walker – I’m not ready to send him down yet.

Orpik/Franzen
off topic, but anybody got a link to the Orpik hit on Franzen? looking at all the whining out there from wings fans, it’s the worst thing that’s ever been done by anybody ever.
I haven’t seen the hit, but it sounds like Orpik drove an Abrams tank onto the ice and chased Franzen around the rink and through the streets of Pittsburgh, and after the four-hour chase, Franzen finally lost an edge on his skate and had to fight the tank with his bare hands. After tearing apart the tank and chewing up the artillery shells, Franzen noticed a small child suffering from Leukemia who had lost his stuffed teddy bear being attacked by ninjas, and while fighting off the ninjas, he had a flash of brilliance that allowed him to determine the chemical formula for transmuting ordinary tap water in a non-polluting renewable energy source. While he was writing down the formula on the back of his organ donation card with one hand while signing an autograph for the child with the other hand, Brooks Orpik came up behind him with a chainsaw and attacked him in the leg, causing a small scrape before the chainsaw blade broke under the strain of Franzen’s skin. The scrape isn’t going to cause Franzen to miss any games, but filling out the paperwork for the police after all of the collateral damage will take at least three games.

is JOURNALISM!!!
Colorado Avalanche Offseason Strategy - Please wake us in October
Pretty sure that was taken straight from EZ.
Now we have nothing to bitch about!
Besides marketing, ticket prices, depth at LW, ice girls…~ Mfured20
This is how one of the EZ members thinks it happened:
since i was also forced to use my imagination for the pummeling, i think it went something like this:
bert sees orpik try to retire franzen, so bert charges him. he pulls out two uzi’s, aims one at orpik’s face, the other at his balls and tells him to kick his own ass. so orpik starts decking himself until he’s bloody. meanwhile, rosby is ducking behind the pittsburgh bench, sobbing uncontrollably, because he happened to look up and see jimmah in the pressbox wearing his catching glove and making a facewash gesture at him.
that’s how i pictured it anyways.
Now we have nothing to bitch about!

The Crosby hate from the Wings is amazing. It’s like a Baskin Robbins of flavored tears.
And Randy, I’m gonna cut you some slack because we’re still just getting to know each other, but accusing me of plagiarizing from EZ ain’t cool. You save that insulting stuff for Red Wing Dave. :)

They sure are bitching up a storm aren’t they?
I picture Franzen leaning against the boards and screaming/crying “WHY… WHY?”
Formerly Booclatos, but since we no longer have Cla(rk) or (Sva)tos I didn't find it necessary to Boo them anymore.

So it was probably the worstest hit in hockey history. Also a little tidbit, despite saying the rivalry is over:

Preseason or not, there’s absolutely no reason for the that play. I’ve yet to see video, but I’ve heard it described
THIS is a guy quoted for the article?? He didn’t even see the hit. But, he is an expert…cuz he heard the replays.

Boy the 19 over at Excluding Zetterberg are getting more and more delusional every year.
Chicago inherited it and the Hawks are probably still breathing a big sigh of relief that they didn’t have to face the best team in hockey during last year’s playoff.
If I remember right the Wings didn’t even put up a fight against San Jose losing the series 4-1. That was after getting stretched to 7 games by Phoenix.

In all seriousness I think Detroit needs to get a bit younger so the team isn’t quite so tired when it comes to the playoffs.

Moore’s incident was tragic, but he wasn’t a Red Wing; he was just another non-believer. No one should ever bring such insolence against The Almighty Jimmy Howard’s chosen people. To even hit a Red Wing player is to commit blasphemy, but to temp The Howard by injuring his chosen people will only break swift destruction upon their heads.
Bertuzzi has chosen to join the inner circle of the Great and Benevolent Jimmy Howard and is thus cleansed of all his prior sins. He has been washed and anointed in the tears of Jimmy Howard, he can sin no more, his past is clean. He shall bring honor to the name of The Howard.
