Sport Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 The Blue Jackets signed Antoine Vermette to a contract extension today. My girlfriend should be pretty happy. http://bluejackets.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=498622&navid=cbj-home-dl
SenatorJake Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 My God, stop the fighting! All this Sharks vs. Sens bickering is uncalled for. The Sharks are the Sens' Western Conference brothers.- Both teams came into the NHL during the early 90's expansion frenzy.- Both teams have a good fanbase.- Both teams have been labeled playoff chokers. (Unfairly, IMHO)- Both teams marked a return of the NHL to a market where they had already been. (California Golden Seals, Original Ottawa Senators)- Both teams have had Pat Falloon.- Both teams have a nickname starting with an "S". (Now I'm stretching it)

Corvus Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 The best thing to come out of this trade is Spezza's crazy laugh.

Not because I am bias, but because Thornton has been consistent for a heck of a lot longer and has turned some mediocre scorers (like Cheechoo) into very good ones. Imagine how he will do with an actual gun on his wing. I do feel Alfredsson is a hell of a lot better than Setogutchi at this point. Because Korbyn Is Colour Blind, My Signature Is Now Idiot Proof - Thanks Again Braden!!Go Leafs Go!

That would be sweet justice.

I was talking about L.A. vs. San Jose. That, and I compared the two top lines. I don't see any bickering....Did Neon just say Alfredsson was actually better than someone?! Hi, how are you?
pollux Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 ...Did Neon just say Alfredsson was actually better than someone?! If Setoguchi ever gets traded to Toronto, then he'll say that Setoguchi > Alfredsson.For now, it's Any Maple Leaf > Alfredsson > Setoguchi... Four times IHL Nielson Cup Champions - Montréal Shamrocks (2008-2009 // 2009-2010 // 2012-2013 // 2014-2015) Five times TNFF Confederation Cup Champions - Yellowknife Eagles (2009 CC VI // 2010 CC VII // 2015 CC XII // 2017 CC XIV // 2018 CC XV)

charger77 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Granted he is chasing down (or at least trying to) Pavel Datsyuk it looks like Wing fans can expect a lot of hooking/holding/obstruction penalties out of old Bert this year.-Dan PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Â
Corvus Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Granted he is chasing down (or at least trying to) Pavel Datsyuk it looks like Wing fans can expect a lot of hooking/holding/obstruction penalties out of old Bert this year.]http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q9/stcharger/Slowbert.jpg-Dan I love the file name. And stupid lazy penalties are a Bertuzzi speciality. Also featured, playing smaller than his size. So, I'm pretty optimistic about the Canucks this year, its refreshing to have so much competition for jobs in their training camp. I'm also intrigued to see what Sergei Shirikov can do against real NHL players. The guy lead his KHL team in scoring last year, and it would be awesome for an upper round pick like him to turn into a quality NHLer.
SenatorJake Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Hey, I paid ONE compliment, give me SOME credit. Yeah, I noticed and I'll give credit where credit is due. Your rampant homerism has been curbed to a somewhat accpetable level.Baby steps, Neon Matrix, baby steps.

Remember another Russian 6th rounder the Canucks chose in the past? The Russian Rocket.If he is anything like Bure then it will be awesome, but it seems he only came over because the KHL suspended him for this season over contract issues.
Corvus Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 By upper round I mean the later rounds, like the sixth. Bure was a late round draft pick, but only because all the other NHL teams thought he wasn't eligible for the draft that year.

josh_cat_eyes Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 They leafs should trade Toskala, Van Ryn, and Finger too. Burke should go after 3 guys. Shea Weber, Brandon Sutter and Brayden Schenn.If you had any of those three guys (Weber, Sutter, Schenn) on your roster, would you trade them? Probably not.Josh has shown us on numerous occasions that logic, sense, and facts aren't his strong suits when considering Leaf transactions. In other words, he is the archetypal Leafs fan.Come on now. I am saying they should trade Toskala (he is not really the starting Goalie anymore) and two of their 8 potential starting lineup dmen. Then I am saying they should TRY to get those three guys. Its like this. Maybe the GM thinks he is getting something he is not. Like the Lulongo trade, or the Yashin Trade, or the Oilers end of the Gretzky trade. Maybe Burke would get lucky.
