Right on...Bergeron looks an awful lot like Toews...he is a great player

I love watching Rocco, but I agree that he would not be the biggest loss. I also firmly believe he is not NHL ready.

for a physical, at home dman...hell yes

GF police have never had anything better to do than bust underagers having some fun...we all got minors in high school..just lame...in Minnneapolis...no minors

Wow...even sweeter deal for Dillon...Capgeek shows as I stated above, but with an NHL salary that inflates, but averages $830k

NHL really hurt me when the North Stars left and the Jets left. Those were my teams as a kid. Obviously by my moniker you can tell I was a Stevie Y fan, and while not a true Wings fan, I pulled for Stevie. I also remained a Selanne, Zhamnov, and Tkachuk fan as they journeyed. Am a Hawks fan cause of Toewser. Little bit Blues fan cause of Osh. Love Parise, but Wild under Lemaire turned me off so badly that I struggle pulling for them- I go to a few games a year,but have never fallen in love with the Wild...I really think the relocating of teams crushed my fandom.

So I didn't watch the game...if that foot is off the ice, then it is offsides; but let's think about it at game speed. In the picture, the puck looks like its an inch from the zone, and if the "offside" player just pulled his skate off the ice (which would appear be the case) if it is off the ice, then you are talking about offside by an inch...at game speed...hardly the worst call in history.

He's onside if he's dragging that left foot...can't tell from the picture

I think what makes those guys (collectively hair bands) awesome is that they never took themselves seriously...they were all about the good times...so it is hard for me to take them seriously when they didn't even take themselves seriously... Take Ratt again...the first name of that band was "Buster Cherry"...seriously???

"see the factory where I worked, silouetted in the back..."

Invasion of your privacy tour...

Finally- a kindred spirit!

If you got the gist of my posts, I do not put Poison or Jovi up as good music...I was equating a feeling of nastalgia tied to a band that might correspond to some people's feelings about KISS

I actually really like Cinderella...Ratt on the other hand...

You ever hear Cash cover Iggy Pop...actually, virtually any Cash cover rules

Give me 70's or pre Born in the USA Springsteen, Kristofferson, Cash... modern era Uncle Tupelo, Drive By Truckers, Lucero...maybe The Hold Steady I'll take Revolver and Abbey Road Beatles...

I want to feel music, not hear someone starting a lawn mower... I do have very high standards for music- although the glam rock of my era...Poison or Jovi or Crue will still bring a certain smile to my face...probably the same way KISS does for people 15 years older than me

sorry guys- having not lived through KISS, I think they are terrible. It was a bad time for music in general... Its all opinion, but making up for bad lyrics and music with loudness and pyrotechnics...lame

To quote Spinal Tap- "Bad poetry and retarded sexuality"

Jesus...you too...

You seriously like KISS? Unless you were 18 in 1977, I can't cut any slack for someone who actually likes that band...

The assistants will have to get on board or find new jobs...just like in business when there is a new boss. Guentzel might be able to take the job and still be heir apparent at U of MN...if he takes CC back to the NCAAs, that only strengthens his resume to be head at U of MN when Donnie steps down. Donnie has at least 5 more years...that's a long time to be in the second seat. If my employer thinks I am on the short list to be CEO when the current one retires, and I leave to be CEO somewhere else and do a good job...I can still come back...

I'm a Federal League man myself..."ensemble #5, titled Omar Sharif, modeled by Chiefs' defense man, Billy Charlesbois, who, if I can read the card correctly, hails from Moosejaw, Sas-Kat-Chewan

I agree that Dillon's skating is a question mark. He has all of the other tools... If he improves his skating, there is no reason that he couldn't be a reliable 3rd pairing dman...he doesn't have the mean streak or size to be a shutdown, and he doesn't have the skating to be an offensive dman. He is a tweaner, but a tweaner who does many things well... I think my Chorney comparison is pretty good, but Chorney was a better skater and Dillon is a better shot blocker/lane disrupter... The deal is that skating in the NHL is table stakes. You have to be an elite skater, then you have to fill a role.

I was just looking at first round busts...take our rodent friends David Fischer or Patrick White Those guys would've been better off signing contracts on draft day and going to the CHL...they would've gotten first round signing bonuses at least...
