  • Psyched because this is probably the first time in 20 years Tech has someone on the world juniors roster, Blake Pietila will probably be representing the US this year.

I'm really glad the Habs got Cole from the Canes. He was pretty much the only guy on that team who could kill the Habs (and he did, over and over again)... the dude gets so much "je ne sais-quoi" when he plays in the Bell Center and now that it's his home stage, he might produce some 30 goal seasons :thumbsup:

I would take Conklin over Emery. Unless Emery's attitude has changed, he isn't a good addition to the locker room.

Word out of anaheim this time around was that he was a great locker room presence and a very hard worker. Much more talented than conklin as well.

So he HAS changed his attitude, then. As long as he doesn't change back, I guess he would be the better option.

Looks like Chicago invited him to their camp hoping he can back up Crawford. Good move imo.

Word has it that Rick Rypien passed away.

 

This is really sad, RIP.

Anyone been following NHL.com's 30 in 30? It's a really good way to get to know more about the other teams, I've learned a lot.

Apparently Wade Belak was found dead in Toronto today. I don't think it's been confirmed yet.

 

But if it's true - wow. Three enforcers die all in one summer...

It's been confirmed.

 

Really what is going on this off season? It's more than just a coincidence.

 

I saw one picture of Wade fighting Derek.

RIP. :cry:

Really? Him too?

 

Damn, that's crazy [cabbage].

Apparently it was suicide. Very odd.

Yeah, I heard. They said he didn't show any signs either.

I can't explain it, i am often able to shut out such events and just block them. But not this one, my head and my heart just feel heavy. I hoped that Stefan Liv wasn't on the plane, but the story was different...

J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff movies

Je trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vie

Je ne me reconnais plus dans les gens

Je suis juste un cas désespérant

Et comme personne ne viendra me réclamer

Je terminerai comme un objet retrouvé

I met that coach last year and know his son. I can't imagine what his family is going through right now :sad:

I just can't get it out of my head... All those families missing their loved ones now... I just can't imagine it.

 

I dunno why, but the one that hits me the hardest is Ruslan; I saw him on the ice last season, heard them welcome his new son... And now his son won't know about his dad, really.

 

It's been a horrible summer for hockey.

What is wrong ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Staurolite.png

Yeah, I saw it earlier.

Got goosebumps and prolonged shivers down/up my spine at the news. This is indescribably sad.

hiccup.png

Yeah. The season can't start soon enough :(

I couldn't believe it when Wade was found dead and I am absolutely speechless at this latest incident. This is probably the worst summer in hockey history. I am so sad about the events that have occurred so far. So many of these guys I have grew up watching. I am honestly just waiting for the season top start so we can put this bad news behind us because it seems that lately there is nothing to discuss in hockey except the deaths that have occurred thus far.

There was a prospect tournament in Penticton tonight, EDM vs VAN. We won 7-2 :shades:

 

Anyways, it's just nice to see some hockey again, especially after this awful summer :sad:

I can't wait until the real reason starts.

Leafs have been doing pretty well in their rookie games. Beat CHI 4-2 Saturday night, and PIT 5-1 last night :D

A lot of RFA signings with the start of training camp not far off. So far Marchand, Tavares and Bogosian have all signed. Reports say that Schenn is close and Doughty may follow. Turris is holding out on the Coyotes apparently.

Myers as well, but him and Tavares weren't RFA's until next year. I like the money marchand and bogo got, makes sense. Schenn will probably be soon but doughty and lombardi really seem to be on completely different pages - I wouldn't be surprised to see that lag a while.

 

Turris doesn't even want to play for Phoenix imo, he's asking for ridiculous money. Then again, you can't blame him, with that god-awful contract philly gave JVR.
