Imagine a secret service agent diving in front of a bullet for the president.

I'd do that shit for the Canucks. Infect me with swine flu already if it meant all the Canucks were healthy for the rest of the season.

So someone explain to me how the NHL is going to find a owner or ownership group that will keep the Coyotes in Phoenix with the attendance numbers below;

Attendance: 5,855 (33.5% full) - Nov 2nd
Attendance: 6,495 (37.1% full) - Oct 31st
Attendance: 7,968 (45.5% full) - Oct 24th

On a side note it looks like the Islanders are in big trouble as well, they're averaging below 10,000 per game. Even Tampa, Nashville and Miami are filling more seats.

great game last night. Man Sammuelson is awesome. I hope we can lock him up longterm after his contract is over. He seems to always score a goal every game or every other game

Anyone who mentions "Shutout" before a game is over is going to get an automatic FAIL button.

It's the code on the ice, it should be a code in here.

According to the stats on CDC, Samuelsson is:
#3 in team points (14 in 16 games, behind Kes with 16 and Hank with 17)
#1 in goals with 8
#3 in plus/minus (+2, behind Mitchell with +3 and Ehrhoff at +4, which gives him the best +/- for forwards)
#1 in PPG at 4 (half-dozen others are tied for second at 2 - also tied with a dozen others for 2nd in the league)
#1 in GWG with 2 (tied with Raymond)
#1 in shots at 54 (Raymond #2 with 44)

Yeah... pretty nice FA pickup there, I'd say. Gillis!

He's a good FA pickup but he isn't a very long term solution here. His contract is for another two years after this one and he will be 35 at that point, which is getting rather old for forwards.

Anyone 35 and over should be signed to no more than one or two year contracts. Gillis isn't retarded. That's why Sundin, Demitra, etc weren't offered more than one or two years.

The guy we REALLY need to lock down long term is Ryan Kesler. Then Mitchell. Mitchell is invaluable to this team. I'd like to have Ryan Johnson here too but he isn't getting any younger either.

yup, he's a perfect for the nucks. He shoots every chance he gets which is resulting in alot of goals. I'm going to say that he will have a career season with the nucks

yeah thats true but I hope he retires with the nucks. We can get some good production from him as long as he's healthy

Heard some guy on the radio, prob Troy from White Rock saying how Gillis phoned Ohlund and said, you owe me. I let Tampa talk to you before your contract was up, and so now I need you to just level Kessel in his debut. lol...

lol damn. When the incident happened and I saw so many guys on the ice, first thought I had was the "Bertuzzi incident" where he jumped the bench and got 10 game suspension.

I thought half the team jumped the bench or something. I can't imagine if half the team got a few game suspension...

Vancouver Canuck defenceman Shane O'Brien has received a one-game suspension for spearing New York forward Sean Avery while both players stood at the end of their benches during a third-period melee Tuesday night.

O'Brien will sit out Thursday night's game in Minnesota against the Wild.

The league also suspended Rangers forward Dane Byers for one game and fined New York coach John Tortorella $10,000. Byers was assessed an instigator penalty at 18:50 of the third period Tuesday night in a fight with Vancouver winger Tanner Glass. A player identified as the instigator in a fight during the final five minutes of regulation time receives an automatic one-game suspension.

O'Brien has been taking some really stupid penalties/making some really bad judgment calls. I wouldn't mind having Rome in the line up. At least he plays it safe.
