That's terrible advice. Canada has strict laws against small, concealable blades.

I think Housley was better as a Leaf for his whole 4 games he played with them.

We have the capability to make San Jose's first Cup Champion.

The Sharks could be that Champion.

Could they pull two skaters and play with three goalies?

That's true. He's a weird loving dude. I remember there was an interview he did with ESPN or something where he said he wanted to be in the military after hockey because of how much he loves The Troops.

Apparently Swedish media is claiming Toronto's signed Phillip Holm (who also plays in the Swedish Elite Legaue). His numbers seem good but who knows if it'll translate or not. Can't help but wonder if the Leafs didn't grab Borgman too, with the idea of them looking at the UFA crop and thinking "None of these guys are what we want or need right now.." and deciding to go outside the NHL to help their D corps.

There's also this interview with Babcock

So Ville Leino is apparently an artist now and uh... he didn't much care for his time in Buffalo.

quote:

JAIL (2013) "One of my most personal works. I was playing my third year in Buffalo Sabres with long and big contract. Things weren't working with me and the team. I was getting a lot of pressure and heat and there was no way out of it. I felt trapped and down. All I could do was get up every morning and go to work and try to make it work. This painting reflects those feelings I was going through on that period of time." - Ville Leino

They're splitting between the Blues and Knights. Which is bullshit but whatever. Hopefully Stillman makes enough money to buy an AHL team so the Wolves can go do whatever they want

Nevermind. The Wolves are gonna be pretty bad next year and I guess a bunch of teams are going to get some real good prospects on loan from the Blues.

The league is set to announce Tampa Bay as host for the All-Star Game next year, so that should officially end any hope of a last minute deal to send NHL players to the Olympics.

I've specifically read things wherein the Russian national team is floating the idea that they will not allow NHL players under NHL contracts and will ask for players resignations before they are able to participate in the Olympics. This could just be a rumor or someone's good idea to poach Russian NHL talent back to the KHL.
