Obviously you don't train as hard as I do, you need to prepare yourself FOR THE WHOLE SEASON, c'mon now no more slacking. The team puts in hard work all year, and we as fans need to as well.

So if they knock down the old Ralph, where is everyone going to get buzzed up before the big games? I gotta say, tailgaiting rules at the old Ralph.

It's closer than some want to admit.

Don't cancel the zamboni driving lessons just yet, remember it was between me and bucky. Hey maybe I just need some booze so I can get a little happy also. I'll take vodka, anyone have any oj

At least everyone can understand it, and it is short and to the point.

Someone might be fighting for air because their head is stuck in their backside. That's why they can't see that Drew won't be coming back I guess.

The day is not over yet, but you got dibs if bucky and I don't argue for the duration of the day.

Uhhhhhhhhh, what ?

Oh what a big old puddle of $hit that would be.

I'm starting to feel kinda icky.

Someone check the temperature in hell, bucky finally said something I can agree with. (That's not a mistake, I said "agree with, not "argue with". )

Huh?

Please explain to me how it matters where I'm from, or how you had class with Stafford, so therefore he's staying, because he told you he was. He told me the same thing at the meet and greet, so did Smaby and Zajac. I'm not trying to rain on your parade, I'm glad that you are an upbeat person. BUT who I am and where I come from are of no revlevance at all to the situation. There is just too much money on the line for him to not go, it's just a simple fact. As much as we all love Sioux Hockey, we have to realize that the goal for these guys IS the NHL. Why begrudge them their dreams and an opportunity to make a living playing the best game ever. I'd be glad if Stafford stuck around, all of these early defections will have an impact, without a doubt. ( It wouldn't suprise me in the least to see JPar gone as well, but I really hope he stays.)

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm, OK

You said $900,000 contract.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful or anything here, but you need to go back and re-check those figures, you are more than a little incorrect. As far as Drew being gone, you can wait for the press release, but it's happening, deal with it however you like.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings but #18 is gone folks. Flame away all you want, but if I was a betting man I would put money on Stafford being AWOL by early next week. You can wait for "official" comnfirmation if you must, but I can guarantee this is true.

JT, if you happen to be heading north of the border to celebrate tonight, I've got two words for ya'.........."lap dance". Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about, bring lot's of dollars.

The "wellspring" if you will, from which hockey info flows. Kind of like THETRIOUXPER'S crystal ball.

Just heard, The Source say's, "he's gone". Skeptics, take it for what it's worth, but I say good luck in the big leagues Drew.

No contacts, when he takes his glasses off he's like the terminator, he just pops in his bionic eye.

Now you understand how I feel everytime I see that you have posted something.

I know it's very cliche', but a picture is worth a thousand words.

Yes.

You don't have to be so quick to agree.
