    I'd like to see him and Tage sent down with Nylander and CJ Smith in their place. You lose a center but you gain speed and a more offensive dynamic. Lines could be:

    43-9-23

    53-10-92

    49-71-10

    81-28-29

    I think that a lot more well rounded than anything we've seen so far

    What, you're going to double shift Berglund?

    I’m fine with that.

    They legitimately don’t care about their health. They want them on the field/ice as long as they can be but beyond that they do not care. That’s not the same as caring about their health.

    Your world is so peachy.

    How do you know this? Do you have a problem with "the man"?

    I don’t generally, either. I do think team owners view the power structure as similar, though. And they certainly don’t care about their players’ health, even with all the evidence there are hundreds to thousands retiring with serious brain trauma and suicidal thoughts.

    The owners have a lot invested in their players. You actually think they don't care about their player's health? That's nuts.

  4. Injury aside, he played 15 years in the NHL. That should have been enough to financially set him up for life. At the end of his career when he was showing signs of problems, where were the people like his agent, family or friends to help him keep his assets? If he blew his wad after retiring that's unfortunate that others didn't step in and help him protect himself, if he didn't have a wad to blow that's not only unfortunate but idiotic.

    1. Rodrigues has shown some flashes. I could see him being a Pominville-esque player, only if he becomes stronger on the puck and stronger physically

    2. I don't know you, but unless you are a latino, I would urge you to avoid such language. If you are, my apologies; go for it

    I think the general comments and tone of his posts are much worse than disparaging a Mexican by lumping him in with a Canadian. :-)

    Just this week my eldest daughter is studying for the GRE's and was complaining to me about the vocabulary section. She said "Did you know that the word 'albatross' is not just a bird?"

    I know that Washington Capitals fans will know the secondary meaning of that word in 2-3 years. 

    It's also a happy term  word in golf and a scary one as a sailor.

  7. Makes me want to go back to U18 IIHF footage to see if there were issues there.  That's a lot of saltiness already.

     

    If anything it makes me more interested in Peckar.  Going right at the golden boy in camp and pestering the crap out of him.  I like the attitude.

    Take those desires to another forum.

  8. Okay. I'm of the belief that you don't need a Cary Price type goalie. We should look for a Fluery type. Is he elite? No but definitely an upgrade to what we have. By the way his early playoff performance was much better than I think he really is. He could have been had relatively cheaply at one time I believe.

    He could have been had by anyone willing to take on his salary.

  9. A simple way to say it is the D couver the Wingres and vice vresa, and the centres cover each outher. Even if that's not strictly true, in the defencive zone one of the forwards has to account for the 3rd forward while the D have the outher two.

     

    * Note I used Canadian spelling in the post

    Don't you mean Canadian misspelling?
