| Message | Mike Brown 55 fights in the AHL, Jaffrey 9 fights in the AHL since 0506. Hardly fighter for fighter. |

| Message | Ha! from TSN.ca: "Peter Forsberg says he wants to try the NHL one more time. According to the Denver Post, Forsberg hopes to participate in the 2009 NHL playoffs... Forsberg also went public with the news that he had to wear electrodes on his bad foot after re-joining the Avalanche late last season. "(I had) a battery package hidden in my pants. When I turned it on, the foot straightened in the skates," Forsberg said. "It was kind of funny." Aided by such battery power, Forsberg had 15 points in nine games." |

| Message | Most people are starting to recognize by now that Burke is a fool that stumbled into a great situations in his last two jobs... Emptied the cupboards and left in time to sink the next GM's. Kind of like Bush did to the US. You want to place any bets on his success in Toronto? It's much less cushy than he's seen in the past. The second part of your argument is based on Mike Brown?... you mean the guy they dressed to play 5 minutes total and not register a shot or even a plus in the plus/minus column?... Yeah I'd give him credit for the win too... You're right, they dressed him over Jaffrey, another fighter...how does that help your argument? They needed to shake things up after the terrible showing against the Oil, and the best shakeup is to bench your useless players and pray that the good players get the message. One fighter in place of another... was the secret to their success? Don Cherry is a washed up raving lunatic... he hasn't evolved with the game. |

| Message | Arguably the top NHL executive Brian Burke, and myself would dissagree that fighting is still a very improtant component of any championship team. Your very own Canucks would also dissagree with their signings of Hordichuk, O'Brien, Davison, the love they show Rypein, and Mike Brown. They dressed Brown the other night over Jaffrey just because he can throw a right cross harder than Jaffrey. Mike Brown probably has the least amount of puck skills in the entire NHL and would probably have trouble scoring in the local beer league, but because he comes to the rink every night and is willing to chuck knuckles at the drop of a hat he gets a paycheck. |

| Message | That meeting has been scheduled for ages and obviously they'll talk Sundin but the meeting isn't for that reason. IF a decision has been made, of course Barry still has to deny it until NYR puts an official offer out otherwise they lose any negotiating leverage they currently have from the $10 million offer the Nucks put on the table. Goon, this isn't the 80's fighting no longer wins hockey games and noone believes agents... maybe it's time to think about hanging up the skates...  |

| Message | Agent JP Barry dismissed that story today in the Province paper, and flew into Vancouver last night to meet with Gillis about Sedins, Ohlund and presumably Sundin. |

| Message | Dukes, you are officially a Canucks fan this year after we beat the flames in the first head to head game, so your answer is: you hope he comes to the Nucks.... but it appears unlikely... theFAN590 out of TO is reporting it's a done deal with NYR just not public yet. (I don't believe it yet) |

| Message | florida would be ideal, he'd resurrect stillman's career and prove to the world that my midseason pick from last year was a stroke of genious! something will go wrong if he ends up in vancouver, and i would prefer gomez stick as the #1 center in NY, so no real preference there.. another body to plug in for jan 1st is the main thing.. |

| Message | Duke, any thoughts on where you want Sundin to go? |

| Message | I take issue with Stonch McKoy's assertion that Afinogenov has been a "dissapointment" to the Eppsters. Afinogenov was pure gravy (sour gravy as it turns out....is there such thing as sour gravy?) in a deal meant to move Sakic while he was stil viable (we now know he's not) and to bring some future prospects to the club -- that ended up being a third round pick. We had extremely low expectations for Afinogenov going into the season and we're happy to say he's met them. On the other hand, Gerber is a massive dissapointment. So is Redden. So is my team. |
