Just move them back to Winnipeg already

Posted Thursday April 16, 2009, About: Jets schedule riles Jewish fans

Playing at home or away it doesn't matter where ever they play, i'm sure there are people of the jewish faith from other cities that "can't" go to the game. We could just solve the problem by not scheduling any team to play over those holidays. But then what happens if xmas lands on a sunday we going to adjust the schedule for the teams in the cities with the largest christian population so people can still make it to church? rediculous.

Will he return? NO! atleast i hope not

Posted Friday April 10, 2009, About: Gaborik's final games with Wild?

If the wild lose gabby, and i hope they get rid of lemaire, they better have an off season FA pickup of the ages. The wild, being the state of hockey, should be in the playoffs every year.

Posted Thursday March 12, 2009, About: No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft is...

not saying he'll be a bad catcher but at that size no one can play catcher for a full mlb career.. i agree with sticking him at first at this point

Posted Thursday March 05, 2009, About: Lemaire on way out of Minnesota?

Lemaire is the number one reason why the wild A: can't score and B: can't get any offensive weapons to sign with the team. They can only hope for draft picks and for the most part they can't even get that right. Risebrough needs to go too.

Posted Thursday March 05, 2009, About: Wild may to to re-sign Gaborik

if the wild resign gabby they need to do it just like the twins did with crede. Have it possible for him to make 7 million a year if he stays healthy by making stipulations that he has to produce so much or play in a certain amount of games... but yesterday i would have traded him for anything including a bag of pucks

Posted Saturday February 21, 2009, About: Coyotes to deal Jokinen & Morris?

ummm.. does anyone else think the coyotes should just move back to winnipeg, you know where they actually see snow and ice on a yearly basis.

Posted Wednesday January 28, 2009, About: Wild likely to lose Backstrom, Gaborik

Backstrom for sure needs to stay. The wild are on a streak of finding great goaltenders over the past few years (fernandez, roloson, and backstrom) but how much of that goaltending comes from their defensive scheme. I want him to stay mainly cause i don't think Harding can get the job done. Cut ties with Gabby and resign backstrom then go after another big name forward either at the trade deadline or after the season.

Posted Monday January 26, 2009, About: Ottawa promised All-Star Game

So next year the NHL all star game is in Phoenix... mmmm okay. 5 out of the last 9 years the all star game has been in southern cities and next year will be 6 or 10. I realize that everyteam deserves their chance to host the game but really, some of these cities shouldn't even have a hockey team. I'm glad Ottawa got it but phoenix is a joke.

Posted Sunday December 21, 2008, About: Will NHL bail out Coyotes, Lightning?

Seriously, can we move these teams to markets that can support them.

Posted Wednesday December 10, 2008, About: Wild making room for Gaborik's return?

Let him play for a month or so, so his stock can rise a little bit. Once that happens trade him before the trade deadline to a team that needs him for a current player/prospect/pick. Wild are doing great without him.

Posted Monday December 08, 2008, About: Wild shopping for forwards

Dump gabby and one of the three defenseman named, for malkin. All in all a decent trade talent wise even though cap space becomes an issue for the pens.. probably won't happen but one can dream

Posted Thursday July 31, 2008, About: Packers desperate to deal Favre

favre walking into lambeau wearing purple would probably the biggest slap in the face to green bay... God i hope it happens

Posted Saturday July 26, 2008, About: Wild signs Bouchard, eye Gaborik

Wild, thank you for re upping PMB's contract finally... i didn't mind losing Demitra but losing Rolston kinda hurts, but i think the influx of young talent that we have is going to make up for it. Wild may not win the division this year but they'll still make the playoffs. My big concern is that if Gabby doesn't resign would he be willing to return if lamaire is still coach.

Posted Wednesday July 02, 2008, About: Wild sets Gaborik's ceiling

Gabby, Gabby, Gabby.. your not worth 11 million a year, i watch the wild every chance i get and you are no crosby or ovechkin. But i do hope you resign for maybe 8.5 max

Posted Friday June 27, 2008, About: Inside Mayo-to-Memphis deal

Just when i though Mchale was actually trying to make the team a little better again by drafting mayo he goes and does this... I can't wait for attendence numbers to fall again this year and then see mchale get fired...

Is it hockey season yet?

Posted Wednesday June 18, 2008, About: Why Wheeler picked Bruins

Wheeler is a hack. I've watched him play his years at Breck HS and the UofM. Great HS player but played with no heart at the college level. He had moments of playing to his hype and potential but for being 6'4" he plays like he is 5'6". He expected to have everything handed to him at the U but when push came to shove he just didn't seem to try.. Good luck wheeler going up against NHL players who actually want to play the game.
