Fucking Hell

David Booth out 4-6 weeks with a groin strain suffered @ the Canucks training camp

 

Leafs interested in Jonathan Bernier as per fathead Mckenzie.
Looks like Canucks should have taken an offer like Bozak+Macarthur+pick for Luongo and got it over with to replace Kesler and Booth

 

Looks like Redden and Gomez won't be sitting at home this season afterall

They better not trade Bernier. But for the Leafs that would be great, Bernier is a young very skilled goaltender who is forced to live under Quick's shadow here in LA. He deserves better but I would hate to give him up. He is damn good.

 

1 thing I like about the nfl is they can cut your ass when you don't perform. Having these losers drag the team down sucks.

 

Blame Sather

 

Really? That's good to hear. I just think its risky in the fact that Scrivens already ripped the AHL up like he did and nobody mentions him at all. Reimer also did too then played well till he was nearly decappitated. I hope it works out

 

Sean O'Donnell retires after 17 seasons

 

Claude Giroux named Flyers captain

VOORHEES - There will be almost 20,000 Flyers fans filling every Wells Fargo Center seat Thursday night for an open practice that figures to be one big party.
Hockey is back and the Philly's new superstar who answers to "G" will be wearing a C.
"That would be awesome if there's 20,000 people there," Claude Giroux said Tuesday hours before named Flyers captain. "I wouldn't expect anything less from Flyers fans. Twitter has been blowing up. I'll be excited for that practice."

It wasn't much of a secret that Giroux would replace injured defenseman Chris Pronger as captain by the season opener, and after some internal debate on picking the timing, management opted to make it official after Tuesday's practice.
"Obviously, this is a huge honor," Giroux said. "There have been a lot of great captains here in the past. Along with this comes a lot of responsibility, which I am prepared for. Being named captain is not really going to change the way I play on the ice and act off the ice. But I am very excited about this opportunity."
Just 25, Giroux already is a two-time All-Star, and last season he finished third in the NHL with 93 points.
"He's our best player," said Scott Hartnell, who scored a career-best 37 goals playing on Giroux's line last season. "He's a competitor. The way he plays ... if everyone played with half as much heart as him, we'd all be fine in here. I think when he talks, guys listen, obviously. I don't think you could pick a better guy on our team right now."
Or most anywhere.

 

Meh.... the little guy is getting old quick. I think G was the perfect move. No one else can hold up to him and his work ethic.

 

Then you should remember he "blew" all of the reg season last year and the year before???

He doesn't seem to play until the playoffs hit then he explodes.

 

Saturday at 3pm est will be pretty awesome, game 1 at Philly after that nasty playoff series. Should be a good game.

Pens play NYR Sunday night, not an easy way to start the season.

 

1 week avatar bet for Saturdays game? loser rocks opposing teams logo?

 

You're on, and G sucks!
