CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2007 He's certainly an upgrade to the Oilers' man-advantage, a dismal 14.7 last year (27th). A bit of leadership isn't going to hurt either on a fairly rag-tag blueline, especially with Smith leaving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vigo 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2007 Better Russia than Montreal. Is anyone surprised that Souray has not signed with anyone yet? I thought he'll be signed within the first week. He just signed with the Oilers. Terms of the deal not disclosed yet but it is rumoured to be 5 years, 27 million. I didn't really want this guy but anything is an upgrade at this point. Yay! We get another version of Marc-Andre Bergeron for this upcoming season. I wonder how long it'll take Oiler fans to turn on him after they see him make some bonehead plays.

the max 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2007 I like the new logos for all of the teams that have released them so far. Didn't think they could improve on the Sharks logo, but they have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2007 The Logo is nice, but they'll still fuck up on the jersey some how. Apparently Toronto is getting a significant change to their uni's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest • Report post Posted July 14, 2007 I heard the jersey looks like the Dolphins numbers, but with Eagles colors. That doesn't really go with the Air Vent Robot Shark up there, but okay. I saw Tampa Bay's new logo somewhere. They actually made it worse. http://www.modsquadhockey.com/pics/JR/TBMSH_2.jpg fail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

treble 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2007 No, that's an alternate they used a few years ago. It's funny, if you look at the first 6 or 7 years of that franchise. The uniforms were pretty much always the same, but they were constantly changing the font they used for the players' names and numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AntiLeaf33 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2007 Montreal, Rangers, Detroit, and maybe Chicago are really the only jerseys that they have to leave alone. Toronto has undergone a bunch of changes already, so another one wouldn't be that big of a deal. Bostons new jersey looks kinda retro so I'm cool with that.

the max 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2007 http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=213812&hubname= Bruins drop Donovan on Ottawa for Schaefer. Schaefer makes more coin than Donovan, but is a better player. I like this move a lot even if it leaves the Bruins less than 1 million under the cap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2007 Clearly a cap move for Ottawa, as I can't think of any other reason to make a trade like this. Donovan will probably be a fourth-liner on nights when he's not in the press box. Schaefer was completely invisible in the playoffs, so that's not too great a loss.

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2007 Works for both ways. I like the deal, and Donovan could be as good as Peter Schaefer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2007 Hey, my grandfather said during beers on Monday that he thinks this is the Leafs year. The only year I've ever not heard him say this since 1989 (!) was last season. Hell, I was on board for a while, I did a column in college about how I thought it was Toronto's year....and this was before Nolan, Wesley, Gilmour came back.
