I precisely needed to thank you very much again. I am not sure the things I would have taken care of without the actual aspects documented by you on such a field. It has been a very terrifying condition for me, nevertheless finding out a new expert manner you resolved it forced me to cry over gladness. Now i am happier for this work as well as wish you find out what an amazing job you have been carrying out training many others through your web page. I’m certain you’ve never come across any of us.

New newman
I’ve been screaming about that for weeks

I said at the time that Milbury made the schedule

New Newman –
You can thank Gary Bettman & his henchman for the way the schedule is set up. This is one brutal schedule for them.

I will get into other stuff later…but first this:

Who the F made up this schedule? I mean fine, 2 games in Prague to start us off. That gets us 2 games behind everyone to start. OK. Fine. I get it.

But who the F designs the schedule this week for example? From last night to Thursday night the Rangers have 3 games (they have played 27 now.) From last night to Thurs night the Devs have 1 game (they have played 22 now). From last night to Thurs night the Isles have 1 game (they have played 24 now.) So on Thursday night the NYR will have played 29 games versus the Devils 23 and the Isles 25.

How the F can we get another 2 games ahead of them in this 5 day period? I mean who was the elementary-school-only educated illiterate that made this schedule?

It makes no sense.

Can anyone explain that? Again, I understand we played 2 more than anyone to start the season. But once that is out of the way, how is it that we play 3 in a 5d period when others play 1?

WTF!

Nasty 1, point taken on Callahan.
I like the thought about Prucha Gomez

Kaspar –
Im with you on the Gomez/Prucha combo. I thought that was going to be a match made in heaven. I wasnt a huge fan of the Gomez signing, especially given the amount of $$ that was literally thrown at him. Im sorry he isnt worth the $10 million and the $8 he is getting now. That is AO, Malkin & Cindy type salary.

I would bet that Prucha will be playing against the Pens. Renney will try to “shake things up”. So laughable…
If he is playing who wants to guess at #1 how much ice time he will get. #2 how much PP time he will get?

of course the team should lure Jagr out of Russia. It would make my day.

Until Renney makes players accountable (ALL players!) for their play, nothing’s going to change. They’ll continue winning by scraping by shootout or one goal wins, and will also be blown out when their passive, defense-first system fails them. That is going to be the entire 08-09 season for this team. Take that to the bank.

yup and what are we gonna pay Kovalchuk with? rainchecks?

Bill r, no way. That guy is way too moody and tempermental to have on this team. We’re trying to build team unity, not tear it apart. Someone as enigmatic as Kovalchuk would hurt this team, regardless of what his production is. Teams that operate as a cohesive unit, with everyone chipping in top to bottom, and exerting full effort for the duration of the game, win championships. Not to mention we’d have to sell the farm to get him… not worth it
