Jebus AP! First it was Brian Randle, then Assembly Hall, now this. That is NOT a picture of Peter Forsberg. It is former Preds captain Kimmo Timmonen.

Thats not Foppa

it's hockey. no one cares!

It's hockey, no one cares! especially the new euro style nhl. weeeeeak!

So basically the Stars are trying to decide between a bunch of 35 year olds. Shanny still has some, but he'll be back in NY. Guerin's already been run out, Forseberg probably won't play or be healthy, and Yashin is... Yashin. So, Gelinas it is, rumor over.

Al Secord

Plenty of people care about hockey, no one cares about your stupid opinions. It shows everyone how pathetic you are bashing a sport that you do not like by spending your time putting comments up on this wall.

Sign Gordie Howe while they're at it.2 year deal.2million.

Really? Is that why they have nooooo ratings and the teams move so much and they have no face the avg sports fan can recognize mr .gas? By the way you must not have been a hockey fan for too long if you don't know who Al Secord is. Have a nice day and don't take life so seriously. You are not going to change anyones opinions on this board becuase, like the nhl no one sees this either...Ha!

AL SECORD .... LOL. YOU ARE PATHETIC, GO AWAY! WHAT NO ONE WANTS TO SEE IS YOUR DUMM POSTINGS

Thanks Mr Bruin WSBK but spelling dumm without the B at the end (it's spelled dumb) is more pathetic. Don't worry I am gone..............................

WSBK .... HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BRUINS OR HOCKEY LMFAO! AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING SURE I KNOW HOW TO SPELL YOUR MIDLE NAME. I CAN REALY USE THAT BACK HOME IN CZECH ....

Yeah we know who Al Secord is...drafted by the Bruins played for like 11 years, having his best ones with the Blackhawks...so? There are plenty of people who care about hockey cause it is by far the most exciting sport there is. That point really cannot be argued. And the only reason why people here in America don't like it is because 1. it is not a sport people can just pick up anywhere, you actually need talent to even begin to think about playing the game and 2. the best hockey players are not Americans, which I guess is a problem for Al Secord for whatever reason. And Al how about you name the greatest sports moment in the 20th century for the US? 1980 ring a bell...was that a hockey game?

The NHL as an organization continues to dodge the true problem. At least 6 teams do not belong. It looks like The Stars are looking to sign a scorer from an old age home. Yashin looks like his glory days are over and is in his mid 30's, Shanahan is a very seasoned 37 years old, Forsberg (mid 30's) has only played 1 full season in his career and it was his second season in the league, Guerin is in his late 30's and has only had 1 season of 60+ points in the past 5 years I believe, and Gelinas (another 37 year old) has only had two 50 point seasons in the last 10. These guys should not still be in hockey. Back in the day they would not have been. The NHL's no touching rule allows them to continue to play and the competition is so bad because there are too many teams they get to stick on for 3+ more seasons than they should of. Yet another sign the NHL hasn't dealt with the REAL problem of small rinks and too many teams that waterdown the talent.
