And yes, the fact that he's a huge Sens fan slants my man-crush towards him a little more.

does SG know about your man crushes? how does that make her feel? :^^^^:

Edit: Not that there is anything wrong with that.

He could score 20 goals next season.

:^^^^: She does. And when I say I have a man-crush, she'll listen to why and learn (if I have anything left to teach her) which makes it really cool. We can discuss any player at any time and she knows what she's talking about.

Present any trade to her for Heatley and she'll mull it over and give you reasons yay or nay.

Yeah, for sure. And as he becomes more self assured on the ice, the more that potential could go up. And he's defensively good too. The whole package...

now that is one special relationship you have there, I would be intimidated by talking to her, guaranteed she knows more than I do

I can't wait to see what she has to say about that offer from LA (apparently according to the Dark Ranger, well not him, a source from Toronto that is)

eklund is reporting that simone gagne has been hurt and will not complete camp...as much crap as he usually dishes out i doubt he has any reason to make that up

hate to see that happen to such a great player, hope he has a speedy recovery and thankfully Canada has the depth to replace a guy like this if the unfathomable happens.

Nothing on that from Jeff Marek's tweets.

It happened yesterday:
http://blogs.courierpostonline.com/flyers/2009/08/25/gagne-injures-hip-at-olympic-camp/

Speaking by phone from the Pengrowth Saddledome, Gagne said he felt
soreness in his right hip during a fast-paced practice on Monday and
will not return to the ice this week.

“For now it’s nothing serious,” Gagne said. “The pace was a little
faster than I was used to this summer. I think I’ll be OK for training
camp.”

Not great news. Why couldn't it have been a center.

Not even gonna bother telling her I don't think.

Didn't we go down this LA Kings road earlier this summer?

So, what's your take on that? Did he "not defend him" or did he "not condemn him"?

yeah no kidding, I would rather Murray just close the market out for Heatley, let him play the year, then reopen it say trade deadline time or the next off season, we will need to dump him to free up some money for Foligno and A-Train to start, then some more FA's, I believe Shannon will be UFA this off season, so could be extended if he pans out.

By not defending him, he condemned him. That was my immediate reaction.

Would you guys do: Boyes, Steen and Pietrangelo for Heatley and Smith

I thought he had closed the doors on a Heatley trade.

I guess that was until he heard the PC and went

Why not? There's one team that has jumped into this and it's not one that has been mentioned before.
