I picture a long drive where they do nothing but yell out the names of Moosehead players.

Yeah, I'm not trying to claim a thing about Weight here. My only thought is that I don't want to be OJ Simpson in any analogy.

He was a hair short of a point per game player for his two years in college (64 points in 70 games) and prior to this week, he had a grand total of 16 AHL games under his belt. Those college numbers were very respectable and it's tough to take much of anything away from 16 AHL games played immediately after a full NCAA season.

I thought you had mentioned at some point that you were from somewhere around here. I won't go that far. I'm glad they had a good time, but if this is the payoff for everything we've put up with, the hockey gods have a horrible sense of humor.

They offered playing time to a convince a free agent to sign. It's a fairly common practice this time of year. There's no need to dig your heels in to support what was a bit of a foolish suggestion.

Yeah, it's fairly obscure at this point, but I'd rather not have my name even remotely associated with all of that.

Does Doug Weight have some skeletons in his closet that I'm unaware of?

Even after you take into account the fact that Ristolainen has played 47 more games than Horvat, he's still blowing him out of the water in that competition.

So how exactly did you guys wind up as Sabre fans anyway?

Sign Derek Roy so we can include in the deal as well?

I don't know where the first one is, but I can't imagine they'll be heading out to Hamburg or East Aurora during this trip. I suppose it would be doable if they were considering driving near whatever they call the football stadium these days.

Sadly the NHL does require you to dress a minimum number of players per game.

You're really dragging down the success rate compared to those three.

But they're collegiate!

To be fair, the Devils changed coached 3 times per season while Lou was running the show. Even the fans had no idea who was coaching that team.

You need the Mitch godfather portrait from Old School.

I'm only taking that chance if he lingers on the market for a couple days and starts to listen on 2-3 year deals.

His production is way down this season, in a year where league scoring has spiked significantly. That's one hell of a red flag. I wonder how much trouble he'll have on the market.

Something's off there. You only be called up on emergency basis as a defenseman if the team currently has less that 6 healthy. I wonder if there may be a case where Tennyson is around but not technically recalled to the roster, some chain of paper transactions or something.

Tennyson was called up after him, correct? How exactly is he called up and healthy scratched all while Borgen is on emergency recall?

Honestly, I think it's been pretty good other than the constant dismissing of interesting posts because "I said so". I just assume it's the classic english spelling of 12pm.

Nitpick alert since you do it all the time: No one is two words, not one. I figure that this comment is as valuable as the last page or so of ridiculousness in this thread.

So you're saying that Dundon's attempt to shame the NFL/NFLPA into helping them out went nowhere? That guy comes across as more and more clueless every time I hear a comment from him. Even with the team's recent play, I can't see the Hurricanes staying in Carolina longterm with this guy at the helm.

All I can think of now is Scotty and his "I'm giving it all she's got, captain". So who is he talking to?
