    Anyone else excited for the Entry Draft Friday?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,152 ✭✭✭Rented Mule


    Love the draft.

    I haven't been able to travel to any of them since I moved overseas.

    Hockey related/kind of

    The Wool Shed Aussie bar on the north side is having July 1 Canada Day stuff tomorrow. Canadian DJ and advertised Canadian beer specials, so I might head there some time Wed.
    Anyone know of any other places Canadians gather? I'm not Canadian but you did give Pittsburgh Sid and Lemieux so my friend and I usually throw down a few Molsons, Labatts, whatever is convenient to celebrate the Great White North.

    FLAMES Sign Boouwmeister

    Our defence is looking good for next season.

    Canadian Football League kicks-off tonight. Toronot at Hamilton and then Montreal in calgary. My tickets have been secured.

    Blackhawks dump Havlat, Khabibulin, Pahlsson and Walker.

    They bring in Marian Hossa, Tomas Kopecky and John Madden.

    We are looking GOOD for next season !! :cool:

    No, Toews is. :)

    Heatley looked to be heading to Edmonton but that looks pretty dead in the water the last I heard.

    How fast has he fallen in everyone's eyes ??

    1) Heatley should have been the #1 overall pick in his draft year (if it weren't for Mike Milbury losing his mind and trading Luongo).

    2)He ends up killing his friend (Dan Snyder)in a car accident.

    3)Gets a fresh start in Ottawa and then pisses on the the Sentators after getting the extension he wants and asks for a trade.

    4) Gets several trade scenarios offers to him and turns them all down.

    With his salary cap hit, he is not the easiest player to fit into an established winning team. If I was Murray, I would sit his ass inthe AHL until he learned some respect for the 'game'.

    I agree.
    (But on the other hand I'd turn down a trade to Edmonton as well. :D)

    It's only about the team. My Daughter and fiancee when married in two weeks are moving to Edmonchuck. :)

    Nice to see Khabibulib gone, now the Flames may have a shot at beating teh Hawks.

    Huet is the big question mark for next year,

    The kids are another year older and all up for new contracts. They are going to be motivated.

    I love the fact that Brent is back home coaching the Flames, but hate the idea that he is coaching in the same conference as the Hawks.

    Have been out of touch with the NHL for a few years now, used to know alot about this during the Lindros, LeClair and Recchi in the Legion of Doom era with the Flyers also kept an eye out for the Avalanche and Canadiens. Whos where these days? Whos top dog? Whos the best players? Im afraid the ones I know like Forsberg, Roy, Lindros, Gretzky, Jagr, Lemieux are all long gone :(
