Jackets are right in the thick of this.

I know that Howson has said that he won't be a buyer just to GET to the playoffs, but how long do you wait to make a move?

Very important road trip starting on Tuesday in Calgary. Hopefully Mason got some rest.

Did Anaheim really score 5 goals on 13 shots???? 13 fucking shots??

Nope. :biggrin: I read their rumor mill, but after seeing so many things not happen, I'm not betting on it.

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure they've had a rumor that actually happened this year.

so you wont take 10:1 on kovy coming to columbus? dont say i never tried to part the idiot and his vcash...


i will note that rumors and talks happen all the time, guys ask and dig on hundreds of players/moves a year. so the actual hit percentage is low even for the best guys...

Kovalev is another Russian "enigma" a la Zherdev.

Will dazzle you with his potential and then 'poof' he disappears.

Million dollar talent but a prima donna that would never fit in Hitchcock's system. Hitch wouldn't take Kovalev if he came for free.

Don Cherry is great. He's on with Hitch and Jeff Rimmer on the local Columbus call in show every now and again.

He shares JO's views on no touch icing by the way.

Anyway, I remember a few years ago he was all over the Swedes. Cherry doesn't much care for the European brand of hockey.

free? i bet hitch and howson would. dont know if theyd keep him... but if hes "free" you can always toss him back via trade and pick up assets/picks...


critical stretch with the western canadian roadie. tonight should be a rugged affair... i think we should see checking, hitting, gloves drops and lots of emotion. hopefully columbus shows up with legs and some jump...
