That came as a big shock to me. These guys were best buds and I don't blame Carb that much.

But I always gotta support my boy Gainey, I owe him a Cup.

i know, i just wonder how the players will react. Its not like they are a lock for the playoffs, thats why i was really surprised. A move like this could spark the team or shatter it.

Thoughts evil?

Dont know if this is 100% but i saw it on hockeybuzz.com

"Talking to sources today and it appears that it is all but a done deal in most people's minds that the USA National TV Contract currently split by NBC and Versus will bring in a new partner in 2009-2010: ESPN"

Well thats happening as of now.

Ducks are in the 9th slot while the blues are in 8th.

Edmonton and Minnesota still have a shot at sneaking into the playoffs.

i'll have no problem with emonton or def minne sneaking in the playoffs. i'll prefer minne over edmonton due to the fact that they can be a pain in the ass and roloson can transform into a brick wall. these playoffs can be set up nicely for us if we can just play our gm. 1st and 2nd rd can be handled well if were the 1st seed and play like were capable and if we meet with detroit in the wcf they can be beat up after the flames series or its really possible with the wings shaky goal tending we can get our revenge on the flames for the 04 wcf
