    Not to mention some of those draftees might play for the Flyers at some point, and they'll have the sound of those boo birds in the back of their heads while giving the obligatory "we have the best fans" line every player gives in interviews.

    Super cool of the fans.... super depressing over all, because he's dying. :( Many fond memories of watching Gino play. Everyone loved him. This sucks. X_X I teared up when he released that letter. Fuck.

    On another note, Canucks grab Ryan Miller, UFA.... $18 million for 3 years?? Wow. He better get a good streak going immediately and never lose it.

    ^^ remember when you had 2 good goalies and were not sure what to do? How quickly it goes from there to Eddie Lack between the pipes and overpaying for a guy whose prime is behind him. I like Miller as a player/person and hope he does well. (I loathe the Sedins though so am going to have to continue to root against the Canucks until those 2 devils are gone.)

    Miller sucks ass. He lets in softees and body language show up his teammates. He is also uncoachable because he thinks he knows it all.
    His positioning is decent which earns him the reputation. Athletically and mentally he is well below average.

    There is a reason nobody came to his aid when Lucic railroaded him.

    Sabres had a good day for the rebuild. Got Gorges and Gionta out of Montreal to be a good influence in the lockerroom. Got Moulson back for 5 years. Signed Mezaros for a year so they can keep Zadorov and Ristolainen developing in the minors this year. Also re-upped Foligno for 2 years as a bridge deal.

    Whats going on with the redwings ... they used to be the place many free agents wanted to go, instead they were rejected 4 times yesterday ... yikes ... and forcing them to overpay for Quincey, imo.

    I have wondered that as well. How depressing on resigning Quincey

    Is it the city? Is it the perceived youth movement? Is it Babcock?

    The Flyers thread had the same report and I posted there that we all know these guys are not winning any awards for intellectual capacity....but sometimes you just have to shake your head and laugh.

    I wonder if it's Babcock's contract situation ... it looks like he'll coach the final year without and extension. So I wonder if free agents don't want to sign with that uncertainty. Personally I'm not so sure Babcock will be back after this season ... he is a unique coach having a degree from McGill, you have to wonder if he will be looking for more challenges, maybe management somewhere, maybe even University. I just find it odd that if he was planning on staying the contract would have be done before free agency ... oh us sports fans its fun to speculate.

    The Canucks fell apart so badly when that idiot Gillis fired Vigneault and our two great goalies were given away. So pissed off.

    And here I thought it was because lucic is a monster.
