Running 2007 NHL regular season thread

Most people knew he'd be out, he had abdominal surgery

 

Are you kidding me? I may be desperate, but come on....

 

You can always take Raycroft.

 

Maybe Grapes's favourite goalie Hardy Astrom will come out of retirement.

I can't even begin to count the number of stories I did on this guy. I can't stop crying. He comes from such a strong, close-knit family.

 

I just read this in the Star. That's awful.

 

I remember watching him as a bantam, I remember the day he was drafted to the juniors, I remember his first training camp as a junior, I remember the day he got drafted to the pros ... so many stories ...

 

Is it too early to start the "St. Louis Blues Official Suicide Watch Running Thread"?

The defending Stanley Cup Champion Anaheim Ducks named their new captain today. The man entrusted to wear the 'C' is a renowned leader of men; a man whose very name conjures images of Messier, Gretzky, Richard and, dare I say it? I do. Patton.

The 2007-08 Anaheim Ducks' captain is...Chris Pronger.

Let the derisive laughter commence.
