Sorry about the Weber RFA cross up. - Jocular Hockey Manager Thu, 22 Mar 2012 04:10:40 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4491-st-patricks-day#comment-19985 I just posted this on the forum about Eberle. He has 30 pts in 31 games in 2012. He has 2 ppg's and 3 ppa's which suggests to me that he still has another level or two to reach. If he can maintain his even strength scoring and then take advantage on the pp... how high can he go? A question. In one of his first, if not his first nhl game, he scored a short handed goal. I take it he no longer plays on the pk. Is that right? - Renaldo?

As Username (clever handle - wonder what your password is lol) pointed out, Suter is the more likely of the Preds dmen to jump to Detroit though if the Preds go far in this year's playoffs, Suter may prefer to stay. - lcbtd Sat, 17 Mar 2012 06:26:48 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4491-st-patricks-day#comment-19982 As people live in Ontario now, as the rest of Canada. There is room in Ontario for another team. This isn't to say, that the other Canadian market places shouldn't be considered very carefully, and I like seeing the outside the box thinking for places like Saskatchewan. Edmonton/Calgary have succeeded in Alberta. Replacing Liddy...well you can't. No one else plays the same game. The Wings are smart enough that they're looking towards replacement by committee (Smith, Kronwall, White). I do wonder whether Weber is coming to the Motor City. Detroit management is smart. Smart enough that they probably can have Liddy for another year or two, as the number two guy, if a player like Weber would consider them. He'd certainly change the look on the back end. They haven't made the foray into the splashy UFAs very often. This time, it looks apparent that they should strive to make a move. 6 years. $50M range. They're a contender, so that will give them consideration. Does someone offer Weber $100M? Buffalo? LA? Rangers? Philly? SJ? After the deal, they look to re-organize their pay roll? - Jocular Hockey Manager Sat, 17 Mar 2012 06:06:11 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4491-st-patricks-day#comment-19981 Winnipeg fans chanting "Crosby's better" to Ovechkin was awesome - Ross The Boss Palmer Sat, 17 Mar 2012 04:28:13 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4491-st-patricks-day#comment-19980 In 2012, Suter > Lidstrom Suter is probably the most underrated D stud in the league. Getting out of Weber's shadow might be good for him. - Username Sat, 17 Mar 2012 01:58:15 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4491-st-patricks-day#comment-19978 Ballsillie's not a genius. He's a blowhard. - Steffen Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:41:26 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4491-st-patricks-day#comment-19977 Chipman's a genius. - Steffen Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:40:22 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4491-st-patricks-day#comment-19976 Canadian expansion is a tricky thing. Are American franchises relocating? (Obviously, Phoenix; less obviously, who?) Sir Bettman (sorry, he behaves as if he's knighted) won't admit he's wrong about southern NHL expansion anytime soon, so for the moment (decade?) only Phoenix is on the table. He can throw that franchise to Quebec with little splatter on himself, if they prove arena-capable. That could happen, real soon. After that, it will really depend on how he acquits himself against Donald Fehr. If Fehr is perceived to have won (which he might - God knows he should do better than this predecessors) Bettman would likely be replaced. Then all bets are off. Mind you, I know nothing about these things. I'm just thinking out loud... - Steffen Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:38:08 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4491-st-patricks-day#comment-19974 He wasn't mentioned in the ramblings anywhere, but wanted to mention it... He left the game today with a shoulder injury. It's reportedly not serious but he looked to be in a lot of pain. Thought that might be good info for some people out there. And also, "real" Irish people would prefer their beer warm. Just saying :p - Seth Fri, 16 Mar 2012 17:20:01 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4491-st-patricks-day#comment-19973 Schneid's is starting tomorrow? - xtrain Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:35:51 +0100
