Good call on ripping Gilbert. Men don't watch HSM3 unless they have been taken prisoner by rebel forces and are forced to watch it cause their eyes are taped open.

Even then they should chose death.

On OilerBlogga what happened was the blogging script has a built-in anti-post linking code for when you intend to show the code. It autmoatically reverses the " to prevent hypertext linking that is unintended.

For some reason it won't let me paste it into a textbox, so you're just going to have to do it manually.

Sorry :-P

Well...first off, I'd rather have neither of them, just a comment on Nashville's roster. But, Bonk has ALWAYS been miscast since his draft year because of the expectations. At this point, I think an acquisition the Oilers would be making is tweaking; filling out the roster. I don't think they are adding any "difference makers" at this point. Personally, when you tweak, I think you look to add specialty skills and intangibles. Things to fill holes. Bonk has some of those things (size, faceoffs, etc). That's why I said him. But yes, you can certainly question his drive.

Horcnose - Yup I like Manny too... he is a left shot tho. The Oil could really use a righty center.

Moose - I didn't even consider the $ factor... and I should have. Lets see, Scott Nichol makes a bargain $750k this season, then is a UFA. Maybe we could bring him in and sign him to a 2-3 yr contract? Seems reasonable.

I'm not a big fan of Bonk... I question his drive... the guy seems to spend half his time floating in no-mans land in his own end. His numbers suggest that, although he does play with less than stellar linemates, he is the guy you DON'T want on the ice in critical situations. The team's +/- is incredibly better when he is OFF the ice. This may reflect that he is out against opponents top lines often, but it also suggests that he fails miserably at it.

I'm a Bonk fan as well, but the guy was Kryptonite...

I'm a Bonk fan as well, but the guy was Kryptonite on the ice last season! A teamworst -31. Just damn awful.
Wasn't used much for pk situations either.
I think that he's a great role player when used correctly, but I'm not sure that he could fill that checking line roll... I agree, I like Nichol for this - he stands up good against quality competition. Good call rgib.
I like Mamny Mahaltra from the Jackets too.

2008-09-16T18:36:00.000-06:00

Interesting...although if I was going to raid Nashville's roster, I'd rather have Bonk. He's 52% guy on the dot, can score a bit, got some size. Plus he's a UFA at the end of the year.

Okay nobody really seems to give a crap about this...

2008-09-03T12:29:00.000-06:00

Okay nobody really seems to give a crap about this one, so I'll just throw the answers out there:
1 Moreau 2 Steve Smith 3 Horcoff 4 Boris Mironov 5 Gretzky 6 Coffey 7 Roy 8 Horc (again) 9 Ryan Smyth 10 Glen Sather.

Crazy wins 10 Stanley Nickels and a partially-eaten muffin for his stellar 2/10 performance! ;)

Hey Ryan, congrats on the blog!
