gleason is the only one in the local media with the balls to call a spade a spade.
:tup:
Very rarely do I disagree with him.
Who wants to go back in this thread and multiquote the people who were so pissed after the Campbell trade. Weren’t you one of them Joe?
I was pissed at the campbell trade because I felt he needed to go out and get a physical defenseman, and the last thing we needed was another forward. He corrected it and went out and got a physical defenseman.
Darcy et al really have dug us into a pretty awful hole though. Players simply don’t want to come here. We either have to blow away free agents with offers, something he is clearly not prepared to do, or go the trade route and give up equal talent for the type of guys other teams go out and sign without losing anything, in order to force people to play here. If they have a choice, they’re going somewhere else. We’ve been screwing our own since Peca.
While I do agree with that article, I very often disagree with Gleason and I think he just bullshits articles at times
HELL YEA i hate that guy, ask anyone in my house how often i read his articles and say " what a moron" lol
8:04PM Tampa Bay Lightning sign UFA forward Mark Recchi to a one-year, $1.25 million contract.
06-07 penguins = 08-09 lightning
also i heard Edmonton offered hossa 92 mil! holy shit.
Bernier signed today, and Demitra says vancouver looks to be his #1 choice… finally some good news in canucks camp…
tampa still has no defense and no goaltending. there offense is stacked but i still dont think they are going to do as well as everyone thinks.
no one posted up bout the next winter “classic”??
wings and hawks at wrigley
haha Emery to Russia huh, why can i see him getting in all sorts of trouble over there for some reason
Damn. I was holding out hope that Buffalo would bring him back. He’d make a nice third line center and I think he can still play. Even if he’s beat up, the guy is all heart.
I heard Rangers versus somebody in Yankee Stadium but all the Yankees fans were having shit fits because that would mean the last game played there would be a hockey game and not a baseball game.
Understandable I guess considering the history of Yankee stadium.
I know they wanted to do different teams from last year.
I was reading on TSN about the Chi vs Det winter classic and some of the quotes from fans after the article were retarded. A guy from Detroit was complaining that it wasn’t in Detroit. Are you kidding me?? You just won a cup. What more do you want? Jesus!!! Your lucky to have your team playing in it at all, let alone hosting it.
im not a fan of this. i think it cheapens it a little. if they want to make it an annual thing, maybe. but that leaves only like what, 6 cities that would be able to host one? its a bad move IMO. make it every 3 or 4 years or so. but i will say. it was the best sporting event i have ever been to. very well done all the way around. hopefully they do it right again.
but i do like the matchup. it will get good ratings. lots of good young players to watch.
theres more than 6 cities that could host an outdoor game. they should make it annual.
1)Buffalo-done
2)Edmonton-done
3)Calgary
4)Vancouver
5)Montreal
6)Ottawa
7)Toronto

Thats half the league. Maybe Columbus too.
tampa bay vs Anaheim will be next years game
itll be roller though, and itll be like the old PBH league, with the banked area behind the net.
I always wanted to try playing on a rink like that. Looked like a lot of fun!!!
