How about that poor bastard who won "Car Crash Comedy" and went on first...painful to watch! To the crowds credit, they gave him a chance but after his first joke bombed, the boos rained down. Gotta give the kid credit for going up there, plowing through his material and somehow manage to smile the whole time.

As a side note, I couldn't help but notice how well Gomez moved the puck though the neutral zone and how much we are going to miss that. Not to say we don't have a good team as is stands now but...daaamn...

Fav Ex Devils 1) Neids 2) Arnott 3) Dunham - Was a big fan of his...broke my heart when he left for Nashville Fav Non Devils 1) Alfredson 2) Ovechkin - I agree with TD...I'll take OV over Crosby...he does alot with very little support 3) Drury - Still respect the guy, even if he is a Rag...

One quick question on the parking situation...when I got my new seats, my Preferred Parking went right along with it. I'm curious on where that puts me! I'm doubting its going to be the deck... Any thoughts?

Personally, I think we can all rest easy in that Lou isn't going to approve a drastic change. Nobody is more of a traditionalist than Lou...we don't even have a third jersey! I don't expect a huge change in our jerseys at all!

Looks like Peca was really hot to sign somewhere.... http://bluejackets.nhl.com/team/app/?servi...rticleid=336229 Jackets Sign Two-Time Selke Trophy Winner Michael Peca Blue Jackets Staff | Writer Columbus Blue Jackets Aug 23, 2007, 11:05 AM EDT COLUMBUS, OHIO

I agree with South...if you have the cash, go for a Thinkpad. I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 right now and I'm not crazy about it. My computer before this one was a Thinkpad and the thing was a beast...that thing rattled around my book bag all through college and it ran like a champ. Plus, Dells are know to run REALLY hot...if I leave mine on for an hour, you can fry bacon on it...

Good article...nice to see someone out there giving the Devs some respect. Gave me a case of the "warm fuzzies"

Call me crazy, but I can't freak out about Paul Martin just yet...it's basically a toss up. If he emerges as a top line defenseman like everyone says he will, the deal is great. If he falters and plays like he has during the past few seasons...it's stinks on ice. Personally, I don thnk he has the tools to be a number 1 defensemen...no stats, figures or analysis to back that up...just have a feeling he's not that kind of player. Given the status of the market, however, this deal makes sense...plus, the contract isn't so unreasonable that he couldn't be involved in a trade at some point...ignore that statement if he has a NTC, which I highly doubt.

Welcome aboard upstate! Rochester will forever hold a special place in my heart thanks to Gio! And Jim Schoenfeld?!? Nice reference!

Everyone is making really good points but I think I have to eat a little crow and agree with Tri...given his example, a 3-4 mil contract is more likely....I just don't like it. If Martin was a proven number 1 d-man, I would no problem with 4+. The problem is that we just don't know how effective he will be with that responsibility. I would like to see that 2.5 mil 4 year contract and if he steps up, reward him in a few years when he is in his prime. But if he is going to be our number 1 d-man, then we need to pay him accordingly. Also, comparing Falski 6 years ago and Martin this year is wacky...two different players on two different teams. Signing a player to a contract is an inherant gamble...if he's good, it's a steal...if he stinks, we got screwed.

Personally I don't think White is worth the 3 million he got, but if you use that as a benchmark, Martin should get at most the same...not more. White's been on this team since 1999...I'm adjusting my guess to 4 years at 2.5 mil...IMO, Martin still has to prove he can be our number 1 d-man...if he does, his next contract will be the payday.

Is Єklund (2.3% accurate) (2.3% accurate) anything but BS? Nice signing...given the trend of giving players longer contracts at less money, I'm going to say 4 years at 2 mil.

Hopefully they aren't showcasing the new jerseys because there are no big changes. Looking at the new EDGE jerseys already announced, there's no real reason for the Dev's to make any drastic changes. Why mess with a good thing!

Sweet...be sure to let us know which one you like better...I need a new hockey game this year

Naah...I'm not a big enough football fan to get the newest Maddens...I'm still playing 2002 on Game Cube :::pause for laughter::: Thats right...me and Kerry Collins are going to lead the Giants to the Super Bowl this year!
