Hello all,
Lurking (as usual), unfortunately don’t have much to comment on other than holding out of another NHL season to start… (why are the players allowed vacation time anyway?)
Hey hey Jon, good to see you
You been keeping up with the (limited amount of) news lately?

Hi Jon, been keeping up with most of the news. Should be an interesting year.
A little worried about the lack of anything regarding Downie though.
There has been a lack of coverage on that. I wouldn’t be too worried as it took a while to get guys (RFA’s ) signed last season too.
"Seen Cincuenta" -- 04.10.10 -- Raw Charge.

Leads to an interesting question
If Steve Downie were tendered an offer sheet by another club — would you let him walk or would you match the offer?
"Seen Cincuenta" -- 04.10.10 -- Raw Charge.
by John Fontana on Aug 24, 2010 8:01 PM EDT up reply actions
Over 2 mil/yr. walk.
Under, match.
Love the Lightning? Hate the Lightning? Me too! http://donttradevinny.blogspot.com
It’s important to retain some financial sensibility and a structure for future contracts… so anything elaborate — or long… yeah, let him walk. I don’;t know if the Lightning would get draft picks back in that case or not.
"Seen Cincuenta" -- 04.10.10 -- Raw Charge.
by John Fontana on Aug 24, 2010 8:06 PM EDT up reply actions
Is an interesting question.
Personally it would depend on what the offer was. If its more than the Bolts are willing to pay to part with him, then walk otherwise match.
Downie has had a great season, but it is only one season and with new owners, a new system and new coach. I don’t think his ‘issues’ have gone away.
I need a constructive idea for a new poll
That and maybe more input on Mount Suckmore… Something that goes beyond the last 3 years.

I found the nicknames fun last year; could kick off something like that.
For a player (say Gagne, as I know he is ‘new’), a list of nick-names and the choice ‘other’.
IE:
Best Nickname for new Bolt, Simon Gagne
G-Dawg
S-Mon
Gag
Could run for several days / a week and then move on to another player who is likely to be in the organisation next year.
Other
Nicknames for Simon Gagne
No need coming up with anything new, seriously. There are enough nicknames for him, already used by many Simon’s fans.
Gags - most used, OMGagne and Sim… In juniors they called him Kid (cause he looked much younger than he really was). And here are some nicknames I personaly use for him, definitely don’t need to see them used by broad public but here they are: American Cheese, Cheese, Mon Fromage, Simmy, Baby, Hubby, Puppy, Mon Chiot, Twelve, Pure Awesomeness and many many others…
I love the Lightning AND the Flyers... go ahead, preach me!
Dare to follow my childish, biased, petty and cheesy alter ego.
American Cheese, B!tch! ... #1 mission? Kill Holmgren.
This will go down great

Not really. I actually avoided the entire R and D camp. It was novelty. Some of this stuff was ridiculous. WHY do they keep changing the rules when they can’t even get the rules enforced during a game with some shred of consistency?

Because they seem to think that it’s easier to tweak the rules than to apply what they’ve got? They seem to think that if they fix it enough, it’ll magically work. Or something like that.

They don’t need 2-on-2 or 3-on-3 or even 4-on-4 overtime. What they need is to stop awarding a point for Overtime / overtime losses. It’s the only thing that is goign to force effort. Shootout losses? 1 point. But a win is 2 points. Stop giving points just for extending the game.

I’m thinking he’s staying. If he was willing to stay in NJ for 17 years, then I think that he’s willing to re-negotiate a deal that’s more CBA friendly. Plus the lack of news might mean Lou’s working on a deal.

Plus
I don’t think the principles go to the NHL offices to discuss “conceptual” issues with the league about a contract unless there’s something being developed.

All very good points.
There's nothing quite like the sound of a frozen puck hitting the glass. It makes me happy.

OK, if Barry hangs out with the Dos Equis cornball…
…who hangs out with the cross-dressing guys who like to enjoy ladies night specials on Bud Light?

All talk. Stating the obvious. Not enough rinks while the interest is there for young people. No rinks, no young players. No young players, no new talent.

What’s obvious to you and me might not be obvious to the people who can do something about things like that. Of course, rinks are typically municipally run, and city parks/recreation people aren’t invited to things like this, so that’s a dead end all on its own.

Actually, this was stuff that they were saying last night.
I never thought about the Parks and Recreation people. Every rink in Florida is privately owned and operated. No city government (in Florida — and most of the US at this time) would be willing to invest in a building and the costs to maintain it.

In many places, that’s not the case. It’s often the city or county who operates public rinks.

"Seen Cincuenta" -- 04.10.10 -- Raw Charge.
the PPPlagiarism case?
Right now i’m just pissed at Cox because he’s claiming Jose Bautista’s using Steroids, and dancing around the subject when approached about it.

I’d go with hot college chicks and creepy/sleazy old newspaper guys. Just for variety, you understand. Because there’s just not enough of that kind of thing on TV or movies these days. :o|

Transaction pending!
Hey everyone! I just thought I’d mention that the lightning have revived the Player tracker on their home page again. It could be as simple as a Downie signing but the last few times they reposted it something happened within 48 hours.
Don in St Pete
Hey Don, thanks for the heads up on this. I wasn’t aware that had been going on (I don’t hang out on the team site much)

OK Folks, I think it's time to clal it a night
Slow night. Maybe next week will be better? Not much time left before hockey… Not much time at all.
We’ll see you next Tuesday. This thread remains OPEN but for now — the live portion is basically done. G’night.
"Seen Cincuenta" -- 04.10.10 -- Raw Charge.
Good night, John.
And with that, I think I’m going to head out myself. I’ve got to be up before the crack of dawn. Thanks for stopping in, everyone! See you next week. Continue on, if anything else comes up.

It's weird
The day before the Bergenheim and Moore signings they put it back up and a couple days before the Gagne trade. I’m sure it’s not a coincidence………..

Is the Harju contract a 1 way?
Wondered if you two might know since this could have significant impact on who will be at Norfolk and who with the Bolts.
Don in St Pete
Yeah, I remember it as one-way.
