Sorry that my Red Wings want to win the stanley cup agian.I still cant belive my team got Hossa.But as for my team right now Theo I hope will do awsome on the Caps team and Im hoping he will help me out evan more. But all I can say is GO WINGS GO back to back babby:P :woohoo:

Hossa with Zetterberg and Datsyuk will take the regular season by storm, however to win back to back... I don\'t see it happening, they\'ll choke. The Stanley Cup is the toughest trophy to win back to back.

yea im just wondering who they will take to arbritration.

bulin will go on waivers or get bought out hopefully somehow lol

Apparently in order to buy someone out, since it\'s past that time, the window gets re opened if the Hawks take one of their players to arbitration. So if that happens, Bulin is as good as gone.

Yeah i have heard something about that arbitration clause as well, as a hawk fan it will be interesting to see what they do! But i must add i was happy to see Campbell land in Chicago.

Stanley Cup is hard to win but the wings have won it back to back before.

Wow... I\'m starting to see tumbleweeds in our draft

[ultrawhiteness]

haha, i can\'t believe my pick still stands as the last one. i guess i could have taken more time to make that pick before sending it off to chic. damn.

i hope raycroft works out for me... it was a last minute pick based solely on the Avs signing. if he can split time with budaj, i might get out of the basement for goalie categories. honestly, i don\'t think raycroft is THAT bad a goalie... and certainly, i don\'t see a ton of difference between him and theodore\'s styles.

[Crazynuck]

Living in TO has ruined my view of Raycroft. I will own him in a FH league. Seeing as your my competition I hope he ruins your team aswell UW. j/k

Plus he\'s playing for the Avs... more reason to hope he fails.

haha, yeah i know he looked horrible on TO... but i found some notes i kept from the beginning of the 06/07 season. i watched a toronto-ottawa game, and even though ottawa put up 4 or 5 goals, i wrote this down:

\"raycroft: solid technique, played better than score, very little he could do on goals allowed, good pickup if leaf team d gets better\"

that said, i\'m already kind of regretting the pick. wish i\'d gone for a forward.

Smells like someone wants to make a deal

Even as a Toronto fan I still think Raycroft is a good goalie, he jsut needs a new start. Fans are relentless,a dn after he faltered, you know in Toronto there is no way he could recover with the fans not giving him a fair shot. I\'m kinda glad he\'s getting a new chance somewhere else.

I also think Raycroft can bounce back. He\'s not an elite G, but a decent one in the right place. Look what happen to Theo last year. Maybe the Avs will do the same with Raycroft.

You mean look how it was Theo\'s contract year again?

haha, touche!

raycroft only signed a 1 year deal, right? so there is hope!

[Chicleteur]

Oh sure the contract year had something to do...

Thanks for the pick Babalu! I know we\'re suppose to be in slow mode, but I know two guys that have been away lately who would be happy with this!
