It was January of last year when he had season ending spine surgery.
 
Reoccurring back injuries are not a good thing.   Assuming the other D-men come back, we are okay depth wise, but sucks for Clitsome.

"Wait a second, be right back..." - Jim Popp, walking out of his office with a tire iron in hand.

No longer being associated with the Leafs will make it easier for me to once again access the "good memories" section of my brain for Carlyle.

My bunions predict 10-8. Either that, or its going to snow.

Before the moment slips past, I would take the time to wish all and sundry who gather here the best of the season with peace and fulfillment in the new year.

Best answer for a telemarketer is a teething baby. When my oldest was a couple months old I had a guy call 3 times in a night and finally the last time I just put the phone in the cradle with her screaming at the top of her lungs. That got us off the list for a few years. 

Well in Edmonton isn't everyone there just an interim head coach?

Rampant is what we do.

A player citing his stats from practice? Just when I heard it all.

Again, again and again, injuries suffered by the Jets confirms the reason why you don't trade Buff. He's a special player that few teams have. I for one do not want to give that to another team.

nah...I'm calm...by the way...Buff's not going anywhere.

One of my favourite sites, great posters and commenters, friendly bunch.
 
I get a lot of laughs from the comments. The football opinions are great. sometimes informative. pretty sure I understand etch now. But a bit more discussion would really clear it up for me.
 
I can't think of anything to suggest for improvement. 
 
Thanks a lot to you people that run things, , and to the people that post and comment.

Maybe, maybe not. Regardless, imho, we trade Buff, we 'take from Peter, give to Paul' as the saying goes. Not to mention the fact (which you made somewhat) that most other teams are usually smart and will feel hard pressed to give up anything substantial WE NEED.   
 
Being 29/30 in this league is not really the same as it was 10/15 years ago. If he is taking care of himself (which is probably a whole other discussion), another 5-7 years of productivity is not out of the question. I say re-sign, he's too much of a special player not too. I think he likes it here, just a feeling. Doesn't seem to like the limelight all that much which he can usually get here compared to other cities. 

Yes Dustin Byfuglien is good for on average one or so mistakes a game but he brings such a dominance to the game that is hard to replace. Not too many players in the NHL can do what he does, e.g. defense, forward, PP, PK. He'd probably play Goalie if he had to and do it well. He helps give us an identity that other teams would kill for, e.g., the Oilers.
 
If it was up to me, no way do we trade him. If anything, we build around him to help him even play more to his strengths. 

Horrible giveaway by Engstrom. Atypical of his play....then a stupid penalty for the Detroit goal.

Your wife's maiden name is one hundred percent??

Hoping he works out with us as he just re-signed how about '100% Cotton'?
It's also my wife's maiden name so I'm partial to it. :-)

The last thing I remember reading from him was in chat and how he was going to meet up with this gal.  She either ate him or domesticated him and now he just turns on the TV to watch Grey's Anatomy.

………………….the effort to make this all work is much appreciated!

Rich,
 
Thanks for this, and thanks for all the work that you do behind the scenes for the benefit of all of us.

Multiple bites on the left side, but the toppings squirted out to the right untouched.
