[Team_Spirit]

OMG. OMG. OMG.

IT'S HAPPENING.

I JUST FELL TO MY KNEES IN A WALMART!

 

[Erika]

Wowww...
I'm speechless...
Can't believe it's happening right now... this is all of a sudden... you were never sure until it's done, but glad that's now officially confirmed.
Thank you Mr. Roman Rottenberg... a noble decision you just made, I respect that...

My favorite player of all time is Sergei Fedorov, #91
Ivan Demidov would look beautiful wearing #91

[cphabs]

Great to have the kid coming over. I just hope it won’t be a side show that will lessen the team’s focus on winning games.

Suzuki won’t let that happen

 

[BaseballCoach]

Wait didn't Hutson burn his first year just by playing two games against Detroit?

Hutson was a year older, already 20 when he signed the ELC

 

[ahmedou]

Everyone is talking about Demidov now!!!

Nobody are talking about Thorpe now...

 

[Boyon90]

Cost me 10 $ to @Boyon90 but never was so happy to lost a bet !

True the man paid

In a weird twist of events, Demidov flew himself here on a Russian MiG and will be in the lineup tonight. Source: My old twisted brain.

[OneSharpMarble]

Released by SKA!? I mean if they don't even want this guy why do we?

Another L for Hugo.

 

[BaseballCoach]

SKA retains his KHL rights. That was the quid pro quo thry were looking for.

It's face-saving for Rotenberg. SKA retains his KHL rights anyway, this was not a concession by the Habs.

 

[That Habs Fan]

A 525K Conn Smythe Bonus for this year is insane...

 

[sampollock]

so many said no way this year... glad they were all wrong

 

[The Shadow]

What do you have?

Not much at all. A Knies ?

I would split Laine and Caufield. They both excel at the same spot.

If he was in a MiG-31 he'd have been here already.

 

[Paddyjack]

Conn Smythe bonus.... Let's dream

 

[FLHabs]

A 525K Conn Smythe Bonus for this year is insane...

Has a rookie signing his ELC at the eve of a playoff run ever had a Conn Smythe bonus clause??

 

[Runner77]

Kent Hughes will be spending the first intermission of tonight’s game with Frankie Corrado. Should really be interesting.

 

[salbutera]

“Conne Smythe bonus” …
