Detriot Getting FUCKED Hard and Blackhawks dodge a Bullet

Detriot land of the $5,000 home and Chicago fucks up paper work and gets their players back anyway.


Star-divide

Well I couldn't help notice Chicago didn't get hurt too badly by their situation.  But they will need to trade sometime next season to make a little room to lock up their main stays.

 

More importantly Detriot's falling apart literally and the Wings players are finally looking to cash in and move out.  Yest another Detriot Deadthing has left the team for some money.  http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=284076  That's another big story breaking by TSN.  At least we know the Wings will be well, what will they be?  Who's going to be in net next season?  Osbad?  Ha.  They're big parts are getting old and their defense is leaving as well as forwards now.  Suddenly Detriot is becoming more and more beatable.

Not that Hudler was what the Wings depended on but they definitely liked having Samuelson gone, and Hossa gone.  It could easily be said that new Blues goaltender Conklin kept them afloat in the regular season when Osbad couldn't stop a beachball.

The Blues and the Blue Jackets . . .

are probably the two Central Division teams best suited for the future.

The BeeJays, with the exception of their franchise player Rick (Not Quite Big Enough To Be Kevin) Nash and heavily-overpaid role-player R.J. Umberger, don’t really have any big money on their club. And just like us, they have a pipeline in place.

Just not as good as ours, in my opinion. We jacked up one bad contract (Fragile Jay), another one comes off the books after this season (Kariya). Past that, the cap-swallowing money is tied up in Brewer (love him or hate him, he’s still the captain), Boyes (HIT THE FUCKING NET!) and Happy Meal MacDonald (BRILLIANT signing).

So, get ready for the Blues/BeeJays rivalry to heat up.

Until then . . . Fuck Detroit and Fuck Chicago. In the ass. With the candlestick.

Hopefully your prediction comes true

because I think I’ll be going to quite a few Blues/Blue Jackets games in the next few years since I’m stuck in Ohio for college during the season. Also, I can’t wait until Chicago sinks into the depths of mediocrity (or lower) again.

mention the Oshie/Nash rivally which Oshie I believe is winning in the hits department lol

the Blackhawks would be included in there, but they’re starting to fuck that up with signing two aging $3 million+ goalies, Campbell, and Hossa. they’ll be good for a few years and they’ll be back to the nonplayoffs abyss

Exactly.

Not that I have a problem with that. At all.

no kidding

they are a solid team with lots of young talent, just the names we know are not their only source they were just as bad as us for a while, ha.
aside from the hossa sign which aside from stupidity brought them into the spotlight even more so in chicago, no not the marquee name i think his name (hossa) is a synonym for embarrasment, but they were for sure all over the news in chicago about it as well as all over espn, tsn, cbssports etc. as making the “highest impact” free-agent acquisition. I HOPE TO GOD that they have an absolutely rediculous break-out season and Toews, Kane etc. all score 80+ pts, and maybe come contract time TJ tries to pull in Toews for a little ND Reunion and NHL Dominance. im getting a halfer just thinking about it . . . .

Fuck Detroit

I almost forgot about Kopecky who led those girl scouts in hits last season.

Everyone’s fleeing Detriot trying to sell there houses for pennies on the dollar before they are offered rabbits and other barter material in order to take the property off of their hands.

I think Detiot is going to suffer bringing players in if the city keeps falling apart.

HAHAHA!!!!! your comment made me laugh for some reason, even though it probably shouldn’t

I don't think the Hawks have dodged anything.

I’ve yet to see any indication that the NHLPA is dropping its grievance over the mailing of the QOs; and if an arbitrator rules that the Hawks were in the wrong, said arbitrator would be perfectly within his rights to declare the new Versteeg/Barker/Eager/Professor/Mary Anne contracts void. If those players were UFAs on July 1, then the rest of the league should have an equal chance at wooing them.

On the other hand… if the arbitrator rules that the Hawks were OK, and the new contracts are valid; then according to NHLscap, they’re $4.5 million over this year’s cap. They’ll need to make a salary-dumping trade or two just to get down to the max.

Either way, it ain’t pretty for the Painted Chelioses.

serious?

holy fuck they’re screwed. But in some ways then’ll end up trading one of those kids they just signed. Some of that also could be pplayers that’ll play the A this season as they count against the cap until they are assigned to their AHL team.

they really should’ve did without going after Hossa. sucks to be them

Well . . .

had they not come to agreements with their RFA’s . . . the NHLPA could’ve made that whole damn thing a big mess.

But . . . all of Chicago’s RFA’s are now signed. Wonder who might’ve convinced them to do that (coughBETTMANcough)

As I said, this will go unpunished because the Blackhawks are, y’know, NOT the Blues.

"Not The Blues"-ness aside...

… I don’t think that the signing of their RFAs closes the book on the QO issue.

Imagine a hockey game. Oshie shoots, and Osgood reaches behind him to seemingly make a miraculous save. Wings go down the ice and score. But wait! Video review says that Osgood didn’t touch the puck until after it crossed the goal line. So Oshie’s goal counts, the clock is rewound to that point, and the Wings’ goal is erased from existence.

Same thing here. If Chicago screwed up its QO process to the point where an arbitrator rules that those RFAs are actually UFAs — then their clocks get rewound to July 1, they’re available to all 30 teams, and the contracts they signed after July 1 (when Chicago had a massive negotiating advantage) are erased.

No, I don’t think this is likely. Chicago will probably get less than a slap on the wrist, and the best the NHLPA will get out of the whole thing is a promise that it won’t happen again. But there’s always a chance I could be wrong…

I think it would be difficult

for the league to say the contracts the players voluntarily agreed to would be void. And think about what heck the players would catch by signing for more/elsewhere.

Marian Hossa

has been dealing with that shit for at least a year now.

Blackhawks must know something about their salary cap that we don’t

they just signed Richard Petiot today

Magic 8 Ball.....

Will the Blues start kicking the dog crap out of Detoilet this year?

That should be the graphic for period one of the first game we play Detriot this season.

I most likely won’t see that game. We ability to watch hockey will be worst than Marcus’s this year. At least the BLues should get more national converage meaning that when they say the game is being broadcast on Stars and Stripes for our men and women over seas. Yeah that’ll be me but I won’t probably be watching at two in the morning unless it’s the finals.
