At least with Bertuzzi on the team you'll never run out of things to post about!

I gotta agree with Discher, we need Lilja back. I think the organization recognizes that and will find some way to address it. Lilja is probably aware that he's on his way out as a Wing, but I think both sides would prefer if that was a year from now and will find a way to work it out.

It's hard to argue with your numbers, but I'd say that Lilja is likely to eat that remaining million(+) and has a ~60% chance of returning. At least one can hope.

Oh, I'm aware. It was a (poor) attempt at humor. Self-deprecating, no less. RUBLES!

In Michael's defense, I think it's pretty standard for Americans to consider any non-USD currency a Euro. Might as well be called a Brazilian Real. If ya ain't makin' dollas…ya ain't makin shit. (more or less)

Dude, when one goes back to Sweden one signs for Svenska Kronor, not Euros. And should he go to Russia it would be Rubles

My afternoon was chugging right along until I read the projected lineup and saw Rig/Kindle slotted as our third pairing. God help us if that's our third set heading into the year. If anything…with one line…you made the case for Lil's role on this squad heading into next year.

Darkrhorse – Lidstrom leaves, clearing the path for Douggy Janik's rightful place on the Detroit top pairing. What kind of odds can I get on that happening?
