The 2005/2006 Hockey Season Thread

[Clawson]

From what I've heard Kulemin, our second round pick this year, could be the guy that plays with Sundin. Apparently he showed up Malkin when they were on the same line in the Russian League last year and hes already 20.

[Toe]

I would still be happier if JFJ went out and got someone who is already an established player in the league, someone who can score.

Toronto gets to stomp on Ottawa twice to start the season off, and I will be wearing my new Bryan McCabe jersey. It's going to rock. All we need still is a winger to go alongside Sundin.

And a goalie, you have good young guys, but you don't really have anyone who's really established themselves. Raycroft stole the rookie of the year from Ryder, but he was what? the worst goalie in the league last year save for Theo when he was still a Hab.

Ooh, burn. I knows my maths, and that shit ain't good.

[Toe]

Look at that. I can't even begin to describe how awful that is. Fuck.

[CKN]

Where can I buy one?

[NobBe Nobbs]

That's so fucking awful. I mean, God, who would wear that in good conscience?

[gunnar hendershow]

That sweater single-handedly has made my entire opinion on the 1990's change. I think the 80's had better fashion sense.

The Sabres had one of the coolest logos in hockey. Why change it?

[Toe]

I like the logo on the Sabres third jersey. It's cool looking, stays with the present colours, and is a good way of bringing back memories of the past. Plus, they are the Sabres, not the Buffalos.

Looks like Lindros is going to the Stars. You know the address to TSN or sportsnet and I'm to lazy to link to it.

[gunnar hendershow]

Yeah, saw that on ESPN.com this morning. It's hard to believe he's only 33 in all honesty. How many 33 year olds get 1-year contracts?

[NobBe Nobbs]

33 year olds who keep getting injured, that's who.

[Only In Dreams]

Now according to TSN.ca a deal wasn't signed but it should be done very soon.

Lindros getting a one year contract is because no one knows if he can stay healthy. Last year it was his wrists, other years it was his concussion problems. Who knows, Lindros needs one good year, because he still is a very good player. Just has a very bad injury bug.

So when do we make the 2006/2007 Hockey Season Thread?

I'm pissed Lindros is no longer a Leaf. I really liked his time in TO (even though he got hurt). I'm a big Lindros mark, and would have much rather seen him stay than Allison.

[Toe]

It goes to show that when Lindros said he dreamed of being a Leaf, he was lying.
