well, after what happend last night, i wouldnt be totally against bringing forsberg in, but it would have to be a 1 year deal for minimal numbers, and we’d definitely have to get rid of someone like Voros in order to do it, and his salary really isnt that much to begin with, so it wouldnt clear a ton of space.

I do like how chris higgins is playing as of late, he looks like a man possessed after getting his first couple of goals and is starting to play harder and work more at getting back, i like the fire that tortorella lit under his ass and hes been playing better because of it.

maybe we should get blair betts back, he was good and cheap and he may not be the best point scorer or as big as boyle, he can move the puck and is clutch at blocking shots on the PK which would hold us over while Dubi is injured for a few weeks…i just hope it doesnt take away from his shot which hasnt really been there as of late.

No way Forsberg is coming here. He’ll cost way to much and the rangers have NO cap space. These places will have to be filled from within. Bring up Paranteau and Grachev.

is a center.

He just hasnt played it the last few years.

why does everyone freak about the forsberg salary. remember it is prorated based on the number of days he is on the roster. even if they signed him today he probably wouldnt play for another 2-3 weeks which would put him at about 150 days on the roster so he could sign for about 2.5 mil w the 750K left and 900K left to pay voros. also if drury is out significantly you get LTIR injury replacement money based on dru’s salary.

does anyone know how many concussions Dru has had in his career? with all these head injuries i worry that Dru might have his career cut short ala LaFontaine from cheap shots like that.

We not winning too many games right now as it is anyway. Also, all I know is that I saw saw Locke play he looked really really great. He stood out to me immediately, running circles around other players, when I was just trying to look for Grech.

This team needs fire from young guys who are hungry and tough. These old players are holding us down…. Drury, Reddan, Brash, Rozi. Voros ain’t old but after the first three games of the season he sure looks like he could go to. And if torts isn’t going to let avery be avery than avery could go to. There’s a reason he’s not making an impact. Half the time I don’t even know when he’s on the ice because he’s a ghost. I may be the only one here but I was irrate after last nights game. Good effort my ass. Not only did they blindslide our captian they were pushing our guys around before the game even started. Torts should have been screaming for the 5 min major or retribution. If this keeps up, Hank will surely be next.

Higgins-Prospal-Gaborik
Lisin-Anisimov-Kotalik
Grachev-Avery-Callahan
Byers-Boyle-Parenteau/Voros

could be close to what were looking at i think

Voros can go to the minors and if Brashear isnt going to play to do his job and fight after what happened last night might as well trade or dump him in the minors too and find out what we have in young players like byers for our 4th line.

Zip tweeted that a source told him Dubi has a broken hand and is out 3 weeks.

That seems light on the expectation of missed time because the bone healing should take that long and that says nothing about ability to do things like take faceoffs, but let’s hope the guess is right.

listen……… Reddens contract sux but he is playing relatively well. I really watched Rozival in Calgary…..Wow…what happened to him. He looked atrocious. Really awkward and out of position. He was a good player 2 seasons ago.

Hey guys, have enjoyed the radioshow and the blog alot, keep up the great work.

There’s no way that Glencross should have been able to leave the ice with his teeth intact. Someone, I don’t care who it was, should have knocked his teeth out.

I have to agree with Pauly D and Mouth on this; there aren’t enough guys willing to stand up for each other, and let’s just hope Hank doesn’t continue to get targeted. These guys have to fight for each other and stand up for each other. You don’t let the other team take out your Captain with a cheap shot without taking out his teeth.

They were messing with and pushing Gaborik that whole game (at the net after every whistle) and not once did I see anyone really do anything. He was actually there defending himself.

This team is starting to remind me of last years team who spent their off nights off probably at wine-tasting events and art shows lolly-gagging around the city and living the life. They were acting very soft last game. I think Cally was the only one to drop a glove and that was by accident during a play.

Even torts looked sleepy that game like he was taking naps between periods. Where’d his fire go we were promised? I’d rather he gets suspended here and there if that fires up his team. The failure that game came from the top down. And I wish we had someone like tootoo. He beats guys silly and knocks them across ice with hits, and has to be pretty close to Domi in size. No fear whatsoever. Avery used to have have that.
