Yesterday he claimed that 'others e-mailed Eklund', 2 weeks ago he claimed he mailed him himself. Guess if your making up so many lies, its hard to keep up with em' all, huh Nutz?<BR/>2) The decision on Marleau isn't a question we're told. Just a question of when. As for defensive depth signing, we hear it may be as soon as this weekend, or go into next week. If demands are steep they may opt to go with 'kids' or other cheaper vets.FAUX RUMORShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403913043629362701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-39548110419676093662007-08-31T05:40:00.000-07:002007-08-31T05:40:00.000-07:00Son, every time you try to start something, you en...Son, every time you try to start something, you end up putting your foot into your mouth.

He was down in LA for a while. I saw him play up here against us a couple of times, and I was not impressed. I think Markov would be a great addition.

The have so much cap room that we are hearing that an extension for Marleau is all but settled and may be announced before the season starts!<BR/>3) Wilson has been in discussions with Sopal's as well as Markov's agent. Sopal would come cheaper and shorter length. The Sharks like Markov, but don't want to commit more than 3 years.FAUX RUMORShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403913043629362701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-66125976890807940222007-08-30T12:08:00.000-07:002007-08-30T12:08:00.000-07:00Faux, Theresa and I got a big kick out of the beat...Faux, Theresa and I got a big kick out of the beating you put on that poor kid who was bothering ya.

I think we could use him.<BR/>I wouldn't have given my team a high grade but as low as you did. Nonis spent all his money last summer to get Luongo. I think Naslund is gonna have a big year for us. Its his contract year so he's gonna want to play well. I'm probably one of the few who think that we don't need Forsberg.

I was a bit giddy when I heard the Flames picked him up. As an Oilers follower I also follow, and of course hate anything Flames. I would give you even money that Mr. Luongo is looking forward to seeing and beating his old boss 8 times. That would be just fine and dandy to me.POLICE SQUADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13412223695758511356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-8139739927319550282007-08-29T14:02:00.000-07:002007-08-29T14:02:00.000-07:00I must say that I dissent from your grade of my te...I must say that I dissent from your grade of my team here in Edmonton. I think Kevin did a splendid job. The Penner lad is just about to bloom into the next great power forward. Sheldon and Tarnstrom will be the best one two punch power play point men in the NHL. Pitkenen will only help out of defense. I'd have to say I was mad as a hatter with Lowe when Smyth was dealt to the Island, but I'm happy with the moves he's made since. Grade A in my book!POLICE SQUADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13412223695758511356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-80109048873203895042007-08-29T12:58:00.000-07:002007-08-29T12:58:00.000-07:001) Good point on the Ducks. 2) Jose won't be the ...1) Good point on the Ducks. <BR/>2) Jose won't be the starter. If not for his huge salary he wouldn't be on the team. Budaj has to carry the load and do well again for this team to do well.<BR/>3) We like Hitch. Think he got a raw deal with the Flyers. We do NOT like Peca. We don't see him as being a plus. Jackets are going to be a tough team to predict with many question marks going into the season Starting with their goalies!<BR/>4) Some gave Edmonton an A this off season. Some an F. We saw it as more a status quo after a disastrous beginning, at least they saved face somewhat by summers end. <BR/>5) We are in agreement on Keenen. He makes for a volatile situation. Probably won't take long before he rubs Kipper the wrong way and screws with his head.FAUX RUMORShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403913043629362701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-68836369811968891612007-08-29T12:29:00.000-07:002007-08-29T12:29:00.000-07:00Ducks - Don't forget the 3 draft picks they get fo...Ducks - Don't forget the 3 draft picks they get for Penner.<BR/><BR/>Colorado - They didn't do anything to improve their most glaring weakness. Jose isn't made for the playoffs. You were way too generous on this one.<BR/><BR/>Columbus - with Hitchcock ans Peca, they'll finally have a real 1-2 puch of leadership. Peca is very vocal in the lockerroom and on the bench. And he played in the cup finals 2 years ago. I expect this team to make some noise.<BR/><BR/>Oilers - Don't forget that Lowe got jobbed on the Nylander fiasco. I think your grade is a little low (pun intended).<BR/><BR/>Calgary - I would've put Keenan as a subtraction rather than addition.Cincyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13896450802228164676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-47037391234571835202007-08-29T11:26:00.000-07:002007-08-29T11:26:00.000-07:001) We agree that they (Penner/Souray) may prove to...1) We agree that they (Penner/Souray) may prove to be salary cap anchors if they don't produce to their contract level. <BR/>2) However, we give the Oil/Lowe some slack in that they should be better with their summer additions than without.
