Zetterberg is God

How the fuck did Phelps win that? Even Phelps' coach thought he lost at first.

Wow, I swear I read he was getting better. RIP.

Russian doping "systematic"

Steve Tambellini named Oilers GM, Kevin Lowe moved to different position Scotty Bowman joins Blackhawks as adviser Bowman leaving is surprising but I guess he wanted a challenge (and more likely the chance to work with his son).

Glen Murray placed on waivers

Mike Milbury joins Hockey NIght in Canada

Why is it that the better the Shield gets the less nominations it sees? Seriously, Walton Goggins is long overdue for at least a nomination. If they missed the nomination period that's one thing but otherwise it is getting criminally overlooked. And Jesus Christ Boston Legal, enough already. James Spader better not win again (Michael C. Hall should win but Jon Hamm and Hugh Laurie are probably the front runners).

Rampage under arrest for suspected hit and run

Dallas Drake retires. Glad to see him go out on top.

Too bad I missed that. I wasn't sure he actually said it at first but numerous PVR replays confirmed it.

Chase Utley is the man. Comes out to boos (?), mutters "Boo? Fuck you" on national television. Priceless.

I can't even imagine how hard Battery is going to be. Thumbs up on Mastodon even though I would have much preferred Hand of Stone.

Ted Nolan out as Islanders coach

Are we supposed to PM our write ups or just post them here?

Alexander Radulov going back to Russia Jay Feaster done as Lightning GM

That question mark in my lineup is Bob Nystrom so my lines are: Shanahan-Stastny-Howe© Krutov-Datsyuk-Kharlamov Anderson-Turgeon-Cournoyer Holmstrom-Linden-Nystrom Stevens-Housley Johnson-Jonsson Wilson-Quackenbush Plante Osgood Dick Irvin

So Gobblin isn't here and he asked me to make his pick for him, which is: Evgeni Nabokov, G 208 wins 40 shutouts 2.37 career GAA Calder Trophy winner, 2001 Two time all-star World Championship gold medalist, 2008 Vezina Trophy finalist, 2008

I keep reading that Ken Holland and Chelios are sitting down soon to talk contract so he'll be back but most likely in a limited/mentor role.

Couldn't agree more with everything you said. I was really surprised they resigned Lilja instead of giving one of the younger guys a shot, unless it was for insurance as you said. And if getting rid of Sammy means more playing time for Helm (or any of their forward prospects for that matter) I'm all for it. Kopecky was also looking pretty solid right before he got hurt so I'd hang on to him to see if he continues his development. And if either Downey or McCarty (or both) take two way deals they should be brought back as well.

To fill out my fourth line, I'm going to take a guy with solid two way play and a knack for scoring clutch goals (including a Cup winner): Bob Nystrom, RW 235 goals 278 assists 513 points 1248 PIM Four Stanley Cup championships All Star, 1977

Trevor Linden, C 375 goals 492 assists 867 points Two time all star Member of 1998 Canadian Olympic team King Clancy Trophy winner, 1997 Named captain of Canucks at age 21 Decent enough for a fourth line center.

Flames sign Todd Bertuzzi

Awesome main event. Very close but I could see why they would pick Forrest. Agreed on the rematch talk.

So far it's pretty much the order I picked them in but I'll most likely make some changes. Shanahan-Stastny-Howe Krutov-Datsyuk-Kharlamov Anderson-Turgeon-Cournoyer ?-?-Holmstrom Stevens-Housley Johnson-Jonsson Wilson-Quackenbush Plante-Osgood
