The Thread Where We've All Got Playoff Beards

[Ruki]

I'd take him on the Leafs....put him on the second line with Connolly and Mac? Trade Grabbo, Kulie, and someone in the AHL (Finger ).

[Plubby]

Nice work, Milbury. You working for Anaheim now? What a total rip job. If Toronto added their first and second...and Colorado's second...maybe.

I wish Ruki was Anaheims GM.

We have your second?

[Plubby]

oh wait the pick went the other way. That's right. Well, you're boned then.

[Guest mr. potato head]

I can't see Anaheim wanting to make a Ryan deal with Toronto unless it's straight-up for Kessel.

[TGWL]

I heard they're asking for 2 top 6 players, 1 prospect, and a draft pick.

[Plubby]

I don't think Ryan's going anywhere at the minute... Carlyle out and Boudreau in at Anaheim.

As Greg Wyshynski said - "I've gone longer without bowel movements than Boudreau went without a head coaching gig"

Joffrey Lupul is the NHL's third star for November. I still cannot believe we have 1-2 in league scoring.

Not sure if you said that before or after it happened, but you nailed it on the head.

Ducks fire Randy Carlyle, hire Bruce Boudreau: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=604070

Bobby Ryan is off the market: http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=4485

Well, generally speaking if a team is struggling you change the roster OR you change the coach - so given that Carlyle had been fired, it stands to reason that they wouldn't trade Ryan as well.

Unless of course you're talking about Casey Stengel...

In 1925 he was hitting only .077 when the Braves sent him to Worcester, Massachusetts, as player-manager and president. Casey played in 100 games and batted .320. He led the team from last place to third while entertaining the fans with his run-ins with the umpires. When an opportunity arose to take over as manager of the Toledo Mud Hens, manager Stengel released himself as a player, and then president Stengel fired himself as manager.

I don't normally make a habit of this but Shut the actual fuck up with your baseball drivel.

Crazy game between Nashville and Vancouver right now.

[Mountainous Cleavage]

Did Schneider get pulled or did Loseungo let in all 6?

[Ruki]

What's crazy about it?

[Plubby]

C-Schneids was pulled.

[Ruki]

Good. I need Luongo to get more playing time

[Mountainous Cleavage]

Pulled after two goals though, what gives? Musta been some pretty soft goals.

[TGWL]

I thought it was 3 goals on 5 shots, no?
