  1. "I think it depends on the venue. In Philadelphia, for example, Bettman gets booed because he is better looking than everyone in the city ... women included." Freaking hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. The only problem with Langs, White and Rolston is that Lou values loyalty more than a samurai and Langs and White have been strongly loyal company men. White won't get moved and Langs is a long shot.Rolston could get moved with his permission but he's like Souray. He's old and no one wants that salry cap hit. Shaking things up for Lou in the recent past has been things like acquiring Niclas Havelid. The whole Kovy thing was a total anomaly.
  3. We could trade someone for Wayne Simmonds since he'll probably have to change his jersey number. We have #17 available and ready for nameplatin'
  4. We seem to have a good supporting cast in place, but like I've said before, is our system set up to have a big time player.
  5. I'm still concerned that we'll be stuck languishing in mediocrity if we sign Kovalchuk. Look at all the big time players and you'll see that although they accumulated a lot of points they didn't change the dynamic of the team until they were given a good supporting cast. Crosby, Ovechkin, Nash still. It all took a lot of moving pieces until their respective teams were successful. If we sign Kovalchuk then our core players leave or retire will we have a defensive core made of guys like Klee, Vishnevski and Rachunek?
  6. Plus don't forget Campell's wicked hit on RJ Hamburger in the 06 playoffs. I'd buy that for a dollar.
  7. So if Kovy goes to LA, it's like full circle. He goes from one place with apathetic fans, Atlanta, to another apthetic place LA. Isn't LA the place where Dodgers fans leave halway through the game so they can beat traffic?
  8. "TRADE FOR KABERLE!............" Yes, I agree. Frank Kaberle would be a great addition.
  9. We should sign Chelios. We'll make the 67 Leafs look like Muppet Babies in comparison.
  10. Everytime I think of Kovalchuk going to the Kings I think of that "Why Must I Cry?" video.I mean it's sad if he leaves but it's kind of silly. Can someone link the one he did on Tosh.0? I can't go on the youtubes or other video sites right now.
  11. Stempniak would be cool, only problem is is do you get Toronto Stempniak or Phoenix Stempniak? Which one shows up?
  12. Good deals are never good for the Devils and their fans when Los Angeles is involved. I traded my game worn 96 Avs Lemieux and 93 Nieuwendyk Flames jerseys to my friend in LA for a Ducks Pahlsson, Habs Komisarek, Sabres Zubrus and Kings Vishnovsky. Guess who got the good deal on that one. I did get 450 for the Zubrus though.
  13. I wouldn't mind seeing Scotty Hartnell in a Devs uniform. I've liked him since he started in Nashville. LW, RW, C or whatever, this team needs a player like Hartnell who isn't afraid to crash the net and agitate.
  14. The funny thing is that even though the Devs get poo-pooed on by the hockey media they seem to be only second to the Red Wings in having the most fans around the country just not the area where the team is based. I've run into mnay folks here in lol who are big Devils fans.
  15. Wasn't there a poll of players a few years ago and Jersey was one of the bottom 5 places they wanted to play? We're a consitently solid team, I just don't think Lou caters to the ego of athletes.
  16. Kovy took the Dodge Dart, a 74, Lou left him a yard but he wanted much more. -Modified "Left My Wallet in El Segundo"
  17. Left my wallet in El Segundo, gotta get it got got ta get it!
  18. I thought Kovy wanted to stay out of the spotlight? What's with the proposition of all the awards shows and big events he could go to in LA
  19. Why would we have no need for Sharp? If Kovalchuk leaves we can put another player we have in the missing LW spot but if we add someone like Sharp then we've got three good lines rolling.
  20. Plus they probably get a good discount when the Ringling Brothers come to Madison Square Garden.
  21. Players only go to the Rags because they know they'll have a 75% chance of having their number retired.
  22. Kovy on this team is still somewhat of a risk. I think our players would still need time to adjust to him in the beginning of the season. Like I said many posts before Devils hockey isn't a good fit for these big name goal scorers. We play more of a team game where roles are assigned. I think that's what really bugs Kovy a lot about Jersey. If he plays in jersey his production would be diminished. Not significantly but enough to bother Kovy. Plus our players would have to adjust to constantly deferring to Kovy to score all the time.
  23. Blackhawks apparently want to move Patrick Sharp. He's a 28 year old LW worth 20+ goals a season and he plays pretty hard. I say Lou should set his sights on him.
  24. I assume thiswhole Kovy thing is holding Lou up from making any more moves right now, but the good thing is that the whole kovy thing is preventing anyone else from making any moves as well. Still a decent group of FA Wingers and at least a small handfull of defensemen.
