All Post blogs are going to be affected. Not just this one.

@ Tarik

Go to bed already!

BRETT FAVRE BRETT FAVRE BRETT FAVRE BRETT FAVRE BRETT FAVRE BRETT FAVRE BRETT FAVRE BRETT FAVRE BRETT FA...

oops wrong blog

JSchon may be forced to get a life for those 24 hours.

OK. Let's get serious here. We have too many forwards and need a 20 minute defenceman with experience. Package a few forwards or some draft picks and go get Kaberle from Toronto or Ed Jovanouski from Phoenix, or Bowmeester from Florida or Ohlund from Vancouver.

I only mention those teams because they already have no chance to make the playoffs and getting rid of those guys and adding a few of our forwards or pics would help both teams

Then we can get serious about planning the parade route.

After Clark, Nylander, and Backstrom we do seem to have a few extra centers - might be worthwhile to give some a chance elsewhere and shore up that blueline.

Trade the Farm for Gaborik

Wait. We have a wealth of centers?

Why hasn't this been brought to our attention before?

Yawn.

Tarik -

Is registration coming to the blog as well?

I don't want to be traded for Gaborik!

From the previous ...

Jim:
If you re-read my post, I wrote:

"I agree that Clark works for it. That's how he's gotten so beat up. He is one of the few guys who is not afraid to get in front of the net - on either end of the ice."

I did not say anything about his groin or how long he has been out (although he did miss some action due to other injuries); I was talking about how much abuse he had taken by pucks. None of that had anything to do with the ice. His groin injury? Maybe. But that was not my point - my point was that he has gotten beaten up because he is not afraid to get in front of the net.

Gaborik is UFA at the end of the season, as is Bou. The cap hit to sign either guy long term is going to be big.

Tarik,

@Regarding your article...

So WP couldn't find Clark's pic in new uniform? Or is it just intensionally sarcastic?

Ed Jovanovski is not a guy who would cause any team to plan any parade route, unless it is some Memorial Day parade and they want to be sure the team isn't encumbered with playoff scheduling. He's been used for years to identify the people who don't understand the difference between physicality and defense.

His two career plus seasons aren't just odd circumstance, he's on par defensively with Rick Berry, whose time in the NHL can't even be classified as a career. Jovanovski just happens to have some scoring ability on top of his random aimless hitting. It's a pretty big indicator when the Coyotes won't even trust him with a minute of penalty kill time per game.

CBT:
Tarik previously said that registration is coming (although I don't know if this is it).

I believe registration is part of the upgrade. as far as the old uniform in the picture, as most of you know, i don't see pictures or headlines until you do. i only write the words.

Phooey!!!
Registration... I was just getting use to my newly found fame. I guess you know you've made it when people sign anonymously and talk crap about you...

Amen brother... keep it real...

Dont we already have plenty of Jovanovskys, Kaberles, Bouwmeesters and Ohlunds? Why do we need more offensive minded blueliners? Green, and theoretically, Poti are suppose those guys. What we need is an eraser with some basic skills, like passing out of the zone, clearing the puck... Kinda like Jurcina, if he had passing and clearing skills.

This team does not need more offense, with the players coming back and ones we already had, plus Fedorov for a whole year, we should be a top 5 offense.

I wouldn't package any of our players for a offensive minded blueliner unless their names Phanuef, Chara, Lidstrom or Burns and thats because they get it done on the defensive end too.

We hardly knew you...I bet there are only like four real people that post here anyway.

While the dearth of hockey news will be painful I definitely look forward to registration to hopefully keep the topic on track or at least when it switches to other tasty topics (beer) the conversation can stay civil.

With the emergence of Green, Poti has become an afterthought. We need Alzner more than we need a non performing "offensive" d'man. Poti is a libility on defense and a non factor on offense. He needs to go.

No to Gaborik, no to JBoum. Both would require too much in a trade, and both have more of a Cap hit than we can afford.

I'd go after Brent Burns, though, from the Wild. He'd be a hell of an addition, in my opinion.

Nylander, Kozlov and picks for Gaborik?

Way too much for Gaborik.

As far as Clark giving up the C, the only reason it is even discussed is OV. When you have the best player on the planet on your team, it is hard to justify anyone else wearing the C but him. OV is and was smart enough to know when not to take the C and when it will be time to take it. Imho, how seems to be the right time, he has earned it.

Here's what I know:
1. We needed to upgrade our D and that didn't happen.
2. We're still a bit soft up front, but loaded with skill.
3. I have to laugh at how Ted called Matt Cooke a "Sandpaper" type player - at best he was "fine" grit.
4. Theodore worries me..and Brent Johnson is flat out scary.
5. I'm looking forward to seeing Alzner play to see what he can do.
6. I'm looking forward to seeing Backstrom as well - he's going to be a different player from last season.
7. I'm looking forward to the "spirit squad" - hopefully they have a min. requirement of 36C.
8. Chris Clark - stay healthy this year.
9. Pothier - s or get off the pot.
10. Fire McPhail already!

I think Gaborik is already overpaid, and is extremely over rated. He also only managed 1 assist in 6 games in the playoffs.

OK - the blog is about to self-destruct ... any words of wisdom before it does?!? :-) Come on - someone's gotta leave us with us tasty morsel to last us for the next 24 hours ... who's it gonna be? ;-)

And, we're back.

Hrmmm....

Can I get some TLC as well? I need a tire rotation and a oil change.
