nobody Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think it would be cool to paint the ice black with flourecent orange and green lines. Then use a pink puck and light arena with a blacklight. And they can blast really bad music during timeouts. Oh wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKnowPhysics Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) 1961 Blackhawks Stanley Cup banner sells at private auction for $37.5k: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=427893 Dollar Bill Wirtz had auctioned it off in 1994 for $15k, that greedy, dead ######. Rocky had reportedly tried to buy it back before, but no word about whether he tried at this auction. Dollar Bill's another perfect example of the type of owner I'm glad we've never had.

.55. Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 The KHl does this with advertisements and after seeing a few clips of their games I can say there isn't anything more annoying in a hockey game than not being able to find the puck. Plus it just looks like hell I agree, bring back foxtrax! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) I agree, bring back foxtrax! That should help Stafford at least. A bright, shiny object for him to chase around like my parents' cats. I mean, seeing as he is an oversized puss, this may be the solution we've been looking for.

wjag Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Teams knew this before he hit the open market. Everyone knew this that watched the playoffs. I'm just smiling because they overpaid to begin with and he is essentially on the shelf until January of his first season. I figured he would be back to start camp, but his rehab seems pretty long for this era of sports medicine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured he would be back to start camp, but his rehab seems pretty long for this era of sports medicine. 6 months seems pretty standard for just about anything involving shoulder surgery. That's one complex joint. They've been saying January since before he even signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, all stuff that was already said before he was signed and Columbus knew aboutHe is signed long term, its not like they signed him for just this season and he would be the centrepiece to their team making a run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just smiling because they overpaid to begin with and he is essentially on the shelf until January of his first season. I figured he would be back to start camp, but his rehab seems pretty long for this era of sports medicine. He's had several very severe shoulder injuries dating back to his minor league days. I would assume they're going to do everything they can while they're in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 An interesting analysis of who should be Buffalo's nr. 1 center - Hodgson or Ennis: http://hockey.dobber...vs-cody-hodgson That article is terrible. He draws conclusions based on nothing, and makes some assertions which are falt-out false. At one point he says that Hodgson's offensive decline under Rolston is likely the real Hodgson, and in the same paragraph says that Ennis' lack of offensive improvement under Rolston means nothing because of sample size. And he continually espouses how Hodgson had better offensive opportunities without anything to back it up. In reality, their offensive zone starts were the same, and while Hodgson played with better pure scorers, Ennis had the superior possession players. Oh, and there's this gem: There is some potential for a Stepan-like situation with Hodgson though. While not as prolific offensively (particularly when it comes to skating/speed) Hodgson still has plenty of talent and has a more complete game overall. Both Ennis and Hodgson have upside but again, Ennis is pure offense, whereas Hodgson has another dimension that the Sabres might need if they want to compete. What the hell? If anything Hodgson's offensive ceiling is higher than Stepan's, but currently lacks the complete game that Stepan plays. Is there any Sabres fan alive who thinks Hodgson has shown a well-rounded game? There's more, but I don't have the interest in quoting basically every paragraph in that article and tearing it apart individually. Awful, just awful, completely clueless article.
