I was looking at Bruneteau and Malones numbers and they were eye popping at all but wasn't Bruneteau on a horrible team? Sounds like players to build a good foundation around though. From what I have read it appears that Trupp could be a travis zajac or Duncan type players score a ton of points and fly under the radar.

Hockey Buzz I honestly don't think some of these NHL Bloggers have a clue at all they just write whatever they want and their adoring fans just gobble it right up, while I think JT is gone, apparently they dont' think much of the announcements for Oshie and Ducan.

The USHL site has Brueteau (sp) coming in next season too, but I would imagine he will be going back for one more season.

Since when is 37 old? Holy Cow. Cheli is like 44 and I believe that Hasek is like 42.

I believe that if they don't start investing in that team the fans will turn on them. It won't happen right of way but they need to pick up a few more players. Blake would look great in a Wild Jersey, Cullen would have looked nice as well. I think they also need one more top line player to play with Demitra and Gabby.

Is he related to Brian Lee? Just wondering?

Actually I thought this year was their best chance in sometime to win a NCAA game and they failed. Their goaltender Wesloski isn't quite the tender that Bobby talent only gets you so far, so I am not going to hold my breath waiting for them to win a game.

Here is what really chaps my butt as a hockey fan who likes the Wild. The Wild have tried to knickle and dime the fans and the management has to go further and get some more talent, I am thinking if they Wild don't make more of an effort to sign a few more offensive stars and continue to be just ok the fans are going to start staying home. Granted the Wild did improve some this season, they basically just qualified for the playoffs and will be done on Tuesday night. The Wild went out and claimed to spend all of this money and basically all they did was pick up a few pieces of the puzzle, Parrish is a nice 3rd line center. Some of these free agents haven't really panned out like I think they wanted them to. Nummelin would be the first player in cut in the offseason along with Skoula, those two are over paid pylons. The Wild should have re-signed Willie Mitchell because they are just not tough enough. I like Carney and Burns has really improved but they need offense. Johnsson has been a huge disapointment he is making almost as much as Gabby.

I think its funny watching the response he gets from people after his posts. Wait till everyone gets up and has a chance to read it.

I am excited about this, my wife comes home the other day and asked me if I wanted to go? Ah yeah I would.

I have been up all night at work so I am a little tired and I suppose the lack of sleep has clouded my judgement. That would be funny to see how Lives-to-play's analysis is recieved by the Central Scouting.

You know I really have to question Lives-To-Play with himself's reasoning. I mean honestly Hakstol doesn't recruit hack jobs to play on his team, malone will probably be a big time player. Kozek, still will be a scorer before he leaves UND just a prediction. Imagine, we have only about 180 days to argue about all this stuff. Funny thing is, if the board shut down today, I am willing to bet that Hak and co would still be able to coach the team even without our help.

You can pay him in Key Stone Lite.

That just made my whole night.

I would agree with you to a degree but now I think we might want to see what the new guy can do, I am not ready to throw him under the bus just yet. Bunning hasn't been too bad in my opinion.

I thought a hockey team could only have two A's and one C? Or you could have three C's.

Well we need to get this kid in and have him see a couple of games. Because if we are comparing rafters there isn't a lot hanging in SCSU's.

I going to have to agree with USA Hokcey here. Isn't Malone a well sought after recruit that quite a few teams were interested in him? Also, If I am not mistaken isn't Malone supposed to be a late second early third round recruit? For teasers Bochenski was a 7 round pick. So we also find out that Kozek was hurt this season and might need surgury. That makes sense for the drop in production. Miller in essence was first year player because of his lack of playing time last season and did quite well.

Heck Hakstol doesn't even have to coach next season. You heard it hear first. Malone is way over hyped. Whewwww.

Yawn

I like the Wild too. I think Detroit will be done once they play a team that's younger in age and isn't worn out from must making the playoffs. Cheli should be drawing social security next week.

The Big Bad Bruins and the Broad Street Bullies was an awesome rivalry.

You don't have a clue what your talking about. You should stick to figure skating or golf so your not offended; because God forbid you might seeing a fight break out during a hockey game, which most of us agree is part of the NHL, unless you want to stick your head in the sand. You can lecture us all your want but your wrong. The point being Hartnell cheap shoted Cheechoo and Hartnell payed for his cheap action. The game policed it's self. There is a difference between rough play and being cheap. He is right, that act of violence would have immediately resulted in that player having the tar beat out of him. This logic that cheap shots should just be ignored is flawed logic. Oh its just part of the game, is why skilled players get kneed by cheap shot artists.

I agree, with what you said. Tuttoo got what was coming to him as Clowe worked him hard. Great game, the Sens and Pens game was great as well. I love Playoff hockey, and we can bet you will see more of this in game three as well.

Why do you even watch hockey then? That is playoff hockey and ITS PART OF THE GAME. Don't like it watch figure skating or golf.
