And Hartnell is having a large hole in his stick closed while Carter is having his internal clock battery changed so he won't sleep through playoff time again. Matt Carle is being fitted for special glasses to correct color blindness so he stops passing the puck to players in the oppossing uniform, and Coburn is in therapy to be convinced that hockey IS a contact sport and it IS ok to hit someone.

That's probably from Campbell's dirty hit that was left unpunished.

dedhed - Hartnell? Did we watch the same run for the cup? Go back to sleep in your lazyboy and try not to drool.

Carter's gone for a goalie. Gonna sign Leino and Giroux long term, one more defenseman, and they'll be fine. No room for Richards, Carter, Brierre, Giroux, and a 4th line center. Someones gotta go, and it's not Richie, Giroux or Brierre

From the female perspective, do not get rid of Carter.

dedhed, did Carle need special glasses to hit both Gagne and Giroux for backdoor goals that kept our season alive in OT? He moves the puck better than any defenseman we have (including #20).
