  1. Well, send em to Albany (for conditioning) &.......leave em there! or trade either packaged w/ ____________ for drury or someone like that. how ya like them apples eh?? Vince
  2. hmmmmmm. 10 year anniversary.......what was a highlight? I know. Watching a puck go by Belfour' head winning the cup in Dallas home turf! Does that count??
  3. Drury would be awesome here. He is a clutch player. As far him posting decent numbers with the avs, that goes for many of our devils. would patrik put the same #'s if he were a member of the bolts?? flames?? etc. Being a devil has helped everyones career . Losing Gionta / bergland for him wouldn't be a loss @ all. Gionta's too small to play in NHL/AHL, he's not a theo flury kinda player, never will be. I hope he (G-man) gets sent down. For good. Vince *BTW, screw Ray borque & his little dog too!
  4. Absolute bad trade. What is Lou thinking? Jokela was arguably our best prospect w/ decent size for what? another damn midget. And, we are not in any way loaded with D-men. There still in college, and we're hoping that they'll be able to step up when the time comes. How could someone look @ this smurf (Kariya) & say ,"we gotta get this guy"?? Lousy move! Vince
  5. Whats up with your choice of avatar???? What would SBT say?? Also, it'll take more than lil G /bergland to land drury. I'd love to have Drury! He'd be the "Neil Broten" of the '03 cup win. Vince
  6. Albelin 4th D-man?? THen he would be great trade bait. I wish (& so does lou prolly) someone would ante up someone for him & pinhead Danton. Feels like a Garage sale, if you buy this set of wonderful glasses, I'll throw in Mike Danton. Vince
  7. IMHO, I think Drury would be a great addition here, but what would it take to get him? He doesn't answer the "size" issue, but then again we're on top w/out it. Drury could be plugged in on either of the top 2 lines, and make them even better. I think he's toiling in Calgary because of his team/linemates. It'll take a lot to get him though, so, a doubtful scenario. Vince

    West Coast Trip

    Jeff Jilson has had a disappointing year thus far. Send down twice, & thye've struggled defensively. It would never be a Jilson/Danton straight up , but maybe another prospect. Haven't heard lately, but I saw Jokela play, & looked very good, as did Hartsburg. Hopefully they'll stay in Albany. Vince
  9. So far my observations-Bicek has pando/gionta desease (getting either thrown around or falling. Mackenzie-way too slow to keep up with others Gomer/Friesen look great! Could use a decent fw on the other side. Bergland playing a great game, is trying to stay around even after G-man returns. Albelin actually looks very good tonight. Marty, is playing great. God, I may have to get center ice. However, I'm so damn sick of those idiot commercials.
  10. Is it an authentic Jersey? made in the USSR. I didn't think Brylin played for the Russian Army team. But it is a cool Jersey, I'd like it myself. Vince
  11. Danton coming back was good, in that we will get something for him. If he stayed away from hockey this year, he couldn't have been showcased @ all. Smart move to bring danton back & let him play. There is interest for him, & others, but not yet the best deal. Vince
  12. Neither thank you. Battaglia is a lil better than Turner, & Sami is talented but gets thrown around as much as G-man. Especially sami makes 3 mil?? Nah, unless we get both for niewy. Vince
  13. I really doubt Niewy will be signed. Lou can sign sign an Cassels type for half the $$$. Joe's not the man he used to be. Unless he shows something in the playoffs, if we get there, he wont be here for even half the $$$. Vince
  14. i went to devs/caps, and felt the officiating favored devs, especially on Jagrs' breakaway. Vince

    Happy New Year

    I thought lovin only came the night before payday?? Well, I could get lucky! Just kiddin. Hope you/families have a healthy New Year. Vince
  16. I didn't see the game, but was there a fight?? I heard of an incident with holik/white, but wasn't sure if it was a full blown fight or shoving match. Vince

    Merry Christmas

    I'd like to pass this on to everyone (&Derik) also. Hope everyone has great holidays, & dont lose anymore draws.......OK? Hope the devils play well the rest of the year, and make 1 more aquisition to put em over the hump. If it's Kovalev (great) God Bless Everyone, (sayeht a small boy with cane/limp) B. Krachet
  18. Niewy should prolly return to the west. hopefully it wont take too much. The devils are a decent team overall, but need a coupla spare parts, & we all know what that is. Hopefully elias isn't going anywhere just yet. We dont need a radical change. Maybe burnsy is not the right coach for this group. I'm not calling for his head, but can a system stifel creativity?? yup methinks it could be part of the prob. But, we're not that far off. Vince

    Kovalev

    I'd love to see it happen, but I really doubt it would happen. Kovy is going to sign with a tem next year w/$$$. As a rental I'd love to have him if it weren't too costly. He is a threat always, moreso than mogilny ever was. Vince
  20. I'm going to predict a 5-2 devs victory tonight. Goals will also come from a slumping Niewy, 1 defenseman, 1 from the offensively chanllenged (pando, turner, or jimmy, & 1 from madden or freiser. BTW, I'm never wrong about htese things. Vince
  21. I dont understand why so many think that waiting til march to correct a shortcoming is right. It seems everyone wants to correct rosters & have to settle for whats left. Then, you have to hope this new player(s) can accrue some "chemistry". If you're going to make a move, do it now, so the regular season is the proving grounds, & not with the playoffs a month away. Say hallelujah! Ad deum qui le tificat_________________________
  22. Bergland hasnt done anything during this stint in NJ. In lieu of his benching the other night, maybe we should try Hulbig or Roche for a look with the big club. They might surprise when given a challenge. Vince
  23. I always thought of danton as another d. tucker type. I do think he has some trade value, but not as a leaf. There is no one out there to replace him. We'll just have to see. Maybe lou has been "showcasing" him anyway to see if anybody wants him, like the yotes. vince
  24. Et cum spiritu tuo! Ina godda da vida...........H. thankgiving! Vince
