CATFIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

dagies, you know very well this is what we are best at; we relish the opportunity to jump

On the contrary, my comment was highly complimentary! at least of the cheerleaders circa 1973-76

I don't know about nowadays, but back in my day, the only real problem with the toe picks was they tended to raise he77 with the linens.

This explains why these kids are making the jump: ...three-year entry-level contract that will pay Johnson a base salary of $765,000 and an $85,000 signing bonus. He could max out at $3.7 million in 2007-08 if he were to meet all of his incentives, which include being named MVP of the Stanley Cup finals and being named to the NHL All-Star game. More reasonable incentives, such as ice time and point production, will likely bring him a payday close to $2 million in 2007-08. And all this time I thought they were being forced to sign for a paltry 800K

I knew an old man who'd fought in WWI and been gassed by the Germans. He never fully recovered from it. I am praying that my bro will pull through. Will all of you here please say a little prayer for Triouxper tonight before you lay your heads down on the pillow?

Dear God, I hope it is in a pedal car.

This always happens this time of year... nothing to talk about. We need a countdown timer 'til the puck drops again. Or, I've just got to quit stoping by here. Either way we're looking at a bad case of withdrawls.

I'm thinkin' he probably didn't marry the homecoming queen.........

PLUS, the almost certainty that Hak will never be a whiny, pencil-necked little geek like York. I'd forgotten how much that man bothers me.

Goldie's! Thanks. And the River Bend. Man I got so drunk there one night I ended up on stage with the band playing guitar. And I don't play guitar! Yeah, okay party poopers... back to the OT: Jon's gone. I hate to say that, but I don't think even the allure of Dakota Divas, Judy's beer and whatever else we can pile in front of young Mr. Toews is going to stack up against skating on at least the second line in the NHL. He won't spend a day in the AHL, and the Hawks will load his contract up with attainable incentives so he'll be the highest paid rookie in the league.

Might have to. Or just run the other team off the ice with speed and average 6 or 7 goals a game! Maybe the Circus is coming back to town this fall.

I like the lines yzerman's put together, but there is a real "problem" on defense beyond the logjam that is apparent. Even if Lee leaves and LaPoint plugs into his slot, I see a bunch of smooth puck-handling Dmen who can carry the puck from end to end and score like crazy. So we go from a d-corps with one guy who people bad-mouth cause he "won't hit anyone" to a group with at least two more "finesse" dmen, and no big hitters coming in. The nay-sayers aren't going to have enough wind in their lungs to bad-mouth the whole bunch of defensemen. Second problem: we'll have to get used to 8-6 and 7-5 games all year. Ain't nobody there to knock any opponents off the puck.

Oh man, all these bar names from my past! There was a place out on the highway, maybe east and south of EGF that I think was a golf course at one time. Can't remember the name. Any help? And a little dive downtown EGF that had a beautiful old juke box with the colored bubbly lights. The old man that ran the place used to make a heckuva ham sandwich. Can't remember the name of that place either. The Level 7 and Spud were great places 'til I got my fake IDs, at which time the more "mature" bars of Grand Forks became available. Seems to me a guy could get high just walking in the River Queen.

Brian is also one of the shyest kids you'll ever meet, so I don't know that I'd read a lot into how much conversation anyone had with him. Really, I don't think he's even comfortable talking to himself.

No, probably not. EVERYONE HERE WANTS FLORIDA TO SIGN HIM! (and yes, I know I'm yelling.)

In all seriousness, I CAN vouch for thetriouxper on this one. Honest man. Opinionated, but honest and straightforward.

I think the only thing missing from this list is: The CHECK is in the mailbox!

I can vouch for this. He doesn't even pretend to like me anymore. And I'm his freakin' bro!

Whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis?

Stay in my seat? Heck no. I rose to my feet to accept the thunderous applause from my adoring fans.

Hmmmmmmm....... Wait 'til the "fans" hear about this!

Heck, when I was a student, I smuggled a live chicken into the Winter Sports Building.

Well, not to shatter anyone's illusions here, but a buddy of mine and I did visit Hak's office and tell him that in spite of my season tickets going up in price AGAIN, I am coming back next season.
