    I think we should ask Brian Leetch what he thinks of Glen Sather. :lol:

    I know, I know, that was a low blow.

    mike richter too. sather let it known he wasn't high on richter.

    man, talk about trying to run the wrong guys out of town.

    Personally, I think the contract is valid and if the players association launches an appeal Ilya will likely win. This may be an attempt to circumnavigate the intent of the salary cap but the NHL has to prove it, playing into his 40's is not out of the question, more and more players are doing it. Somehow I think Ilya will be a devil next year. To me if the NHL teams want to risk signing a guy for 10-12 or 17 years then they are crazy anyways, typically hockey players start to decline in the mid 30's due to the physical nature of the game. So teams like Chicago, Detroit and New Jersey could be stuck with players that are past their prime.

    I just want to know who Glen Sather has incriminating photos of.

    How the hell does that fool keep his job?

    :lol: we're wondering the same thing, trust me.

    two seasons ago i was face to face with him on an escalator inside the garden. i had so many thoughts and words going through my mind, i couldn't get one out. my chance to tell him off outside of the pearl jam forum escaped me. :(
    I ran into milbury at the coliseum back in 02 or 03. I wanted to say so many bad things like why did you draft a goalie you dumbass and all . I just shook his hands and said hey mike keep up the good work cause his daughter was with him. If he didn't have his daughter with him I woulda gotten in his face and went off at him. It pisses me off we coulda had kovy or gaborik and instead we wound up with dippy.

    Yeah Gomez seemed to work out so well for the Rangers :roll: . Your team decided to overpay and look what happend you got stuck with someone that did not produce. Like I said if all te trash you can talk is about attendance then whatever. There is only one team that can talk shit and that is the champions.
    They didn't get stuck with him...

    $7 million a year for Gomez and neither him nor Jagr could play with eachother for shit. Nice move Slats! :clap::lol:

    I approve this post.

    Fuck the Rangers.

    Ok now as the Kovy turns. . .

    I still say we should sign him for less. That's just me. If the NHLPA finds nothing wrong with this then all the better

    I don't think Kovy is the solution to our problems but it's a step in the right direction. The Devils have good to great players it's just getting them to mold is the problem. If Kovy brings his A game and it rubs off on others then it'll be worthwhile. if, by signing kovy, we can retain key players in the off season of next year. . even better.

    Appealed by the NHLPA, I think they only had a week to do the appeal then after that they had all kinds of time (?).
    Owners expect a quick resolution and they're probably right.

    Oh that would be so nice. Anything to set the Devils back a bit is awesome.

    Ilya Kovalchuk is a free agent!!!!!!!!

    hopefully, as he stated he wants to be a devil, he'll return as a Devil. If he does then that'll be good for us only if, we can make a good bid for Parise to return next year.

    the good - the devils got screwed.

    the bad - the NHL has probably lost one of it superstars to the KHL.

    Good riddance.

    Now they're investigating Luongo, Savard, Pronger and someone else's.
