Wasn't Doan on that show ' Mantracker ' ? He probably picked up a Tick runnin around the bush with his brother trying to elude the posse.

My employer greets me in the morning with " How you doing ? " I reply " not too bad. " To which he'll say something along the lines of " Not too bad but not too good ? " or " Not quite good enough ? " or " Could be better ? " or " more on the good side of bad than the bad side of good ? " I guess you could say we have an understanding. Sort of.

That still doesn't negate John Scotts influence on the way other teams play the Sabres. Its undeniable. As some of these bigger tougher kids come on board I'm sure Scotts usefulness in keeping other teams honest won't be needed but until then its necessary imo. He's a stopgap til those big tough skilled guys we've begun to draft are N.H.L. ready so he fits for now.

I agree with your take on it. Before Scott we were Bostons biatches and everyone knew it. EVERYONE. Heck the media openly talked about it, The N.H.L. openly promoted games with it. It had gotten to the point where it wasn't only Boston taking liberties. After John Scott things were noticeably different.

Agreed 100%. Scott would have been drawn and quartered at centre ice based on his 4th line status, average ice time and size.

or the forever demonized for his size Mr. John Scott.

Feel for the kid. Hopefully this makes him a stronger individual. Fighting back from this can add character.

lol

My son calls his mother ' me '. As in, " Me can I have five dollars ? " I believe its from the Simpsons t.v. show but I could be wrong as I never watch it. This drives me nuts but his mom doesn't seem to mind so I keep my mouth shut. Me is short for mommy ?

Currently reading The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky. I've always loved Russian Lit. and this one so far hasn't disappointed me. Next I'll re-read Dead Souls by Gogol which is very humorous and a great read.

This guy will be money in the shootout.

I know it won't happen because of the bigger names involved but both Benn and Seguin should make up two thirds of a line on Canadas olympic team with the way they're playing and the chemistry between them.

Pats first trade. I suppose Penderwhosit from Edmonton must have been high on this guy.

There are no excuses now. If I as a fan am informed and somewhat knowledgable about the effects of brain trauma injuries even in a rudimentary way then these athletes that make their living playing contact sports know. Its that simple.

Kane for ?

If Nolan stays on imo Moulson will sign with us. He's quoted as saying he loves him as a coach. He was pretty clear about that after the winterpeg game

Don Cherry says they were out havin pops. I've heard wobbly pops which may or may not be from the simpsons. I forget.

:clapping:

Listened to Lucics interview with a Boston station replayed on 1040 am this morning out of Vancouver and he claims that he was hit twice unprovoked and never hit the guy back. He also said he's pressing charges against this guy. If his side of the story holds up he did the right thing but really he should have clobbered that punk.

TSN has a story about Lucic in a scuffle outside a Vancouver nightclub the other night. Most likely Roxys. Video on youtube.

They've seen the B's get away with so much dirty shite that those Bruins fans don't know the difference between outright thuggery and a hockey play gone bad.

Ellis ? Great another 4th line guy.

I tend to agree with both Sherman and Potato on this but we must remember that this is Garth Snow we're talking aboot.

Zacks 22 I think. Lots of time for him to get it. Hopefully we don't write off Foligno at 22 either.

That ship has sailed. IMO it went out with Regier. Since the new guys have taken over I've seen improvement in how they play, how they practice, their mindset, how they treat the young guys and how they believe young guys should be developed. The results aren't there quite yet but the loser mentality left in Regiers suitcase imo.
