lol @ LeBrun:

All the Anchorman quotes got me, lol.

[vagus]

I want a black Canuck's Jersery.

In the back of my mind, I'm hoping ESPN cuts away from LeBron's conference tonight like "Oh shit, we just got word that Favre is gonna sign back in Green Bay!"
Then they cut away and he's like "Just kidding! I haven't decided if I'm gonna perma-retire or not. stay tuned, kids!"

I'm glad SOMEONE was thinking of Brett Favre. This is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTHING compared to Brett Favre. NOTH. THING.

Latest offer has the Devils offering 100 mil over 17 years.

L O FUCKING L.

[Thoronas]

More and more I get the feeling that Kovalchuk may end up going to the KHL. No one in the NHL wants a 10 mil cap hit from one player. He either needs to swallow his pride and lower his asking price or go to the KHL for the money.

[Deader2818]

Its just funny because its LA, NJ, or Russia

LA giving him the best chance to win more over the term of his contract.

Gut feeling to me is he is trying to use NJ to get the most out of LA, him or his agent, since a lot of people are saying he WANTS to be in LA.

17 years or 7?

17 sounds more like an NYI type of move, but 100m over 7 years is a nice 14m per year hit. Either way, both of those would be retarded.

Pretty sure you aren't allowed to pay a player 14m.

Paul Bissonnette (Phoenix Coyotes) kinda stuck his foot in his mouth on twitter with much hilarity ensuing.

Spoiler: show

1. “PaulBizNasty miley cyrus was a great interview on david letterman tonite. hate her music but she was funny, and i dont find girls funny, no offence girls”

After getting hell for that…

2. “PaulBizNasty ok so every girl on my twitter is hating on my comment. girls have there moments of being funny, but arent consistent. guys back me up.”

…

3. “PaulBizNasty i have some girls agreeing with my comment so i guess im right? kathy griffin may be the funniest, but she may have a penis. she doesnt count”

Keep digging there Paulie…

4. “PaulBizNasty chelsea hadler is a drunk. shes not funny at all. shes a joke. so for all u twittering me her name, ur proving my point so thanks”

By this point I was sniggering.

5. “PaulBizNasty lisa lampinelli is funny, but once again gender is my main concern. her chin hides her adams apple so we are ganna have to go to the judges.”

That nearly made me wet myself.

6. “PaulBizNasty now im getting messages about how women are smarter. thats not true google it. for the girls saying it, not very smart now are ya. boooom”

Then it sunk in just how much he doesn’t give a shit.

7. “PaulBizNasty talk about a buzz kill. sorry mom. RT @caitykauffman: haha be careful. you’re a public figure. don’t be stupid.”

Yeah, this dude really doesn’t give a shit..

8.”PaulBizNasty RT @caitykauffman: @PaulBizNasty Dude. Just saying. You don’t wanna offend the fans who pay your salary!

…

9. “PaulBizNasty thanks for my new pool table caity.”

LMAO AWESOME! He used to be on the Pens too, pretty cool guy.

[Ishido]

Yeah, I found Bissonnette's twitter a few weeks ago and it's pretty much pure gold. Usurped the NHL twitter throne from Dan Ellis. He also calls Commodore a nerd.

I'm anxiously looking forward to seeing what he does this coming season. I finally ordered my John "Real American Hero" Carlson jersey today. :D

Nice, I am wondering about what number he'll have though. Here wore 4 in Hershey, which is Erskine's, and 11 on Team USA, which is retired, so who knows.

Fehr should be a top six forward I think, or at least get some more PP time. He's more of a threat than Laich is, and might even take Knuble's spot if he's not brought back next summer.

They have Carlson with #74 through the Caps webstore, so I imagine he'll stay with that.

The thing I love about Fehr is his explosiveness and ability to close. I know in the games versus the Habs, whenever Fehr got a breakaway it was definitely an, "Oh shit," moment for me. It will definitely be interesting to see what he does as he hits his prime, and particularly with this new contract. If he can really mature, improve his shot, and establish more of a passing game, him on line 1 would make that line insanely deadly.
