Around the League XXI - Watching from the outside, but not all creepy like a voyeur

But will Doug Wilson be able to top last summer's big acquisition, John Scott?

 

[TonySCV]

Chiarelli and Bob Nicholson will turn around the EDM Oilers horrible drafting outside the first round.

I am actually glad EDM is turning it around, it's good for hockey, that the Oilers return to competing.

Hold tight because Lowe and MacT need to be reassigned desk jobs as well for Charelli to work. If Charelli is reporting to either of them, it's another several years of futility.

Depends on what you mean by big. John Scott is pretty tall, and weighs quite a bit.

Maybe Wilson can swing a deal for Buff?

I'm really looking forward to the Calgary game tonight. I'm kind of pulling for them. I don't know if I want them to win the whole thing but I definitely want them to beat Vancouver. I do think they are mince meat after this round but I've been waiting for them to go away all year and so far they haven't. Both Canadian series have been so much fun to watch.

Lowe can be the President of Paper Shredding Operations.

Maybe in a twist of fate, the Sharks re-hire Drew Remenda as their big off season acquisition?

oh I agree fully. I like Calgarys swag. I do want them to win it all. Nothing better than an underdog going all the way after multiple miserable seasons.

I wouldn't stand the arrogance if Rags, Habs, Ducks won it.

John Scott will replace Randy Hahn for play-by-play and Burns will do color.

I doubt Charelli, or Nicholson would have agreed to any deal, that has them report to Lowe or MacT.

I believe Bob Stauffer(Oilers writer) when he says " Kevin Lowe hasn't been active in the Oilers for years now".

What a mess...

 

[TonySCV]

Surprised to hear Ralph Strangis is leaving the Stars. No word on where he's going.

I read that as "Continue to give me your money, regardless of teams play on the ice".

That is what I read.

 

[Captain Mittens*]

What a mess...

I like Sharks fans. They are good people. I feel sorry for them though. Wilson is becoming their Kevin Lowe without the five cups.

NYI, we have a problem.
4-1

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kuznetsov is a natural with the puck.

 

[Bee Sheriff]

Evgeny ****ing Kuznetsov

 

[damacles1156]

Kuznetsov from the same home-town as Voynov.

Hey look at that ^. I can be Pierre McGuire !!

 

[Bee Sheriff]

Kuznetsov from the same home-town as Voynov.

raised differently, i hope.

 

[Jeff18]

Wow, that was garbage goaltending by Halak. What a disaster game for the Islanders.

 

[kingsfan28]

Halak looks like he did with the Blues, just spent.
5-1

As long as they can keep the magic going in the next round, I will be a happy camper.

EDIT: of course they still have to make out of round 1. If the canucks make it, I will have to reluctantly root for them in rd 2. Basically there's one team I don't want to win the whole thing...

He'll keep the rest of the media honest in the press box.

Go Canucks

 

[Jeff18]

Burakovsky just put Leddy on his ass after Leddy tried to hit him. What a shift by Burakovsky and Kuznetsov

 

[Jeff18]

Martin and Clutterbuck are clowns
