Yves one thing is for sure and that is you won't be pushed around anymore. The additions of Staubitz last season and more recently Prust cleared that right up. With Prust you also get an excellent gritty 3rd-4th line guy who is a very capable PKer. Will get garbage goals too. Only prob with him is he's not very big and fights anyone no matter the sizeOriginally Posted by Yves
He's good with the mitts, but should leave the heavies to Staubitz. Fans are going to love him.

Most are back or on their way. In their contracts was the fact that when NHL came back they could go.

And most leagues (e.g. Russia's KHL) have pseudo transfer agreements with the NHL that call for recognizing contracts etc. in these situations.
I wish the other leagues would take the franchises and leave the players!

Scott, I'm not sure Staubitz will be back this year. I thought I saw something on TSN yesterday where his name was in the 'departed' column. Habs definitely need some muscle.
Hopefully Cole-Pacioretty can pick up where they left off last year..
Drop the fuckin' puck already!
..and where the fuck is Lino?!

He'll show up. He's probably stapling 'Space Rock Manifesto' posters on telephone poles around Toronto.

tell me please, what is this 'hockey' of which you speak?
Compact Disk brought high fidelity to the masses and audiophiles will never forgive it for that

I think I saw one yesterday at the other job this one trained him for.
No hockey announcer will ever approach the great Gene Hart

Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
Not familiar with Gene Hart, but Marv Albert's radio calls of the Rangers games I grew up listening to were legendary.
"Kick save, and a BEAUTY!"
Marv's reputation took a serious hit a few years ago, but to many NYC area sports fans of a certain age, he's still the man.

As Marv might say: "Bite me!"Even when he's wearing women's underwear.
Definitely one of if not the best for calling games on the radio and don't forget his sidekick "The Big Whistle" Bill Chadwick.

Marv's an all-timer - his calls for the Knicks were also fantastic
These days you get Clyde and his equally entertaining mumbo jumbo rhymes

The thing about Marv Albert was, if you lived in the NYC area and were into sports,Marv Albert was everywhere(so to speak).He did Knicks games, Ranger games on radio,he did football,he did boxing, he was the sports guy on Channel 4..............

Breaking News!....The Leafs just fired Brian Burke.
Bye Bye Burkie!
No news yet on his replacement.
Seriously?! Wow! I thought that dude was there forever.

Clyde was better on the radio and John Andariese wa better on TV. I know John scalped his comp Knick tix and that affected his work assignments for awhile; but still....
While I enjoy Howie Rose on the Isles telecasts (and his rotating cast of terrible color commentators); I will never get over his "matteau" call

Oh Sh!t....maybe the Mayans meant Jan 9th instead of Dec 21st!!
