Guest gthureson Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Probably you'd have to go back to Andy Moog and Reggie Lemelin.
starvenger Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Lemelin is reaching pretty far back. Moog was pretty consistent throughout his career, I think. I know that the Wings are prepared to eat Jospeh's salary, but he'll probably go to the Rangers if they can swing a decent deal. And that would probably mean that they could actually MAKE the playoffs.
LaParkaMarka Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Bah, the Rangers already have Dunham and Blackburn. They can build on them, not bring in someone with an insane salary like Cujo. Of course, knowing the Rangers, they make him a $10 million man. *sigh*
Slingshot Suplex Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Think they'd let Blackburn play in the minors for the year and have a Joseph/Dunham tandem?

The Rangers philosophy seems to be "the more $ you make, you'll be THAT much better than the people we already have."
CanadianChris Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Probably you'd have to go back to Andy Moog and Reggie Lemelin. I was thinking of Pete Peeters, actually.
nl5xsk1 Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Probably you'd have to go back to Andy Moog and Reggie Lemelin. I was thinking of Pete Peeters, actually. While Moog wasn't bad, Peeters was who I had in mind when I typed that. Moog wasn't at his best until he left Boston, in my eyes, where as Peeters played insane for the B's.
Red Baron Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Moog was great in Boston, but when he left...man he had success where he went.
nl5xsk1 Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Moog was great in Boston, but when he left...man he had success where he went. I feel stupid ... it was Billy Ranford who had more success when he left Boston, not Moog. They were traded for each other, and I think that's where my confusion came from. Moog was good before his time with the B's (he was part of 2 or 3 Cup teams in Edmonton) and good while he was on the B's (shared a Jennings Trophy with Lemelin) but when he left he was just OK with the Stars. I still stand by my Peeters > Moog/Lemelin statement though.
Guest gthureson Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Pete Peeters was always a product of the system. He looked good because he played for good teams that ran solid defensive systems or were just overpowering teams. Early 80s Flyers, the all defence, no offence Capitals, the mid to late 80s Bruins, who also played d-first cause they couldn't score that well. While he was a good goalie, I would not put him in any kind of 'great' category.
Urban Warfare Posted September 10, 2003 Author Report Posted September 10, 2003 Joe Nieuwendyk is a Toronto Maple Leaf, TSN has learned. The unrestricted free agent centre agreed to terms today on a one-year deal with the Maple Leafs. Nieuwendyk scored 14 goals and dished out 28 assists in 80 games with the New Jersey Devils last year. In 1,113 career games with the Calgary Flames, Dallas Stars and New Jersey Devils, he has tallied 511 goals and 501 assists. Well.....
the max Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Marian Gaborik is holding out, as he wants close to Vincent LeCavalier money, and is threatening to play in the Czech Elite League. And there's this: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=53312 Giguere wants 7mil. I'm with the Ducks on this, until he proves that he's worth it, I'd stick him with an incentive deal for two years, and then see what happens. And this picture made me choke on my iced tea: Daneyko is going to play one game for the Newark Bears. Does this make him the first player to play both baseball and hockey?
treble Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 I'm glad they picked Nieuwendyk up, I just hope his knees hold up. Hopefully now they'll trade one of either Green or Tucker for a defenceman, which is what they really need.

Well, new GM John "Turd" Ferguson has gotten Svehla officially retired and signed Nieuwendyk. That's too much progress for the Leafs. Fire him!!
the max Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 "Turd" Ferguson What defenseman should TO get?

starvenger Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Off topic... you are a Seahawk fan in CALGARY?!? I think Seattle might be the closest NFL team to Calgary, actually. Plus the Stampeders are sucking this year.
MrRant Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Here's a question... would it be worth it to get an Ice Pak to the Canucks this season or just stick with the local WHL team?
LaParkaMarka Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Well, the guy is obviously a Canucks fan. I imagine he used to live around the Vancouver area, which is only a couple of hours away from Seattle (I'll probably catch a Seahawks game myself this year, and I'm in Vancouver)
the max Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Speaking of the Canucks: http://www.tsn.ca/news_story.asp?ID=53440&hubName=main They signed Magnus Arvedson. I'm still confused as to why Ottawa didn't resign him, but nonetheless, Vancouver picked up a very good player.
nl5xsk1 Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Why the HELL can't the Bruins pick up a player like Arvedson?!? He signed a one year deal, which is wicked important for a Bruins signing. And for relatively short money too. Dammit. At least it makes the Sens a little weaker. Which is almost as good as the Bruins getting stronger.
Slingshot Suplex Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 I think the Sens considered Arvedson an underachiever. Weren't they trying openly to trade him last season before he became a free agent?
the max Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 J-S Giguere signs http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?ID=53...438&hubName=nhl Ducks are going to be quite good this year.
LaParkaMarka Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Wow, good news for the Nucks. I didn't expect them to do anything in free agency, so it's cool to see something happen. Here's hoping Quinn picks up a decent D-man to make up for the loss of Murray Baron.
DerangedHermit Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?ID=53...439&hubName=nhl Devs get Larionov. Meh.

I'm still confused as to why Ottawa didn't resign him, but nonetheless, Vancouver picked up a very good player.

He signed a one year deal, which is wicked important for a Bruins signing. And for relatively short money too. Because Jeremy Jacobs is a fucking tightass, and Harry Sinden is worse.

Yeah, agreed that Jacobs/Sinden/MOC all suck, but Arvedson would have looked really good on the Bruins second line, putting up almost 40 points, and for not much money. Paying a guy $1.5 million isn't bad, and SHOULD have been in the Bruins price range.
the max Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 They have too many forwards as it is, and Arvedson was looking for too much money for what he was worth. Even so, he was part of the maturing core of players that they had. I pray that Spezza plays like they're expecting him to.

I saw him live twice last year, and both times, he was the most exciting player on the ice. Plus, his playoff debut was the most memorable I've ever seen. He is going to be scary good.
