So far Moulson really surprise me, i like the kind guy who came out of nowhere and prove something, but we are just at the beginning of the season so let see if he can maintain the rythm.


For Filatov i'm surprise the see that the Jackets let him go, but he will certainly play more then at CLB so is good for is progress.

Even if he doesn't keep up his current pace, I don't think it would be too much of a stretch for him to score 25 goals this season.

Peverley has been quite the treat to watch this year... 23 points in 17 games or something along those lines. Glad I have him in my pool :-D :-D

He's not even on a line with Kovy. He's playing with Kane and Armstrong on the 3rd line, which makes it even more impressive.

Yes, he will be a HHOFer, and sucks to be Chicago fans. No early Christmas for you! Ha.

Anyways Peverley has a whole thread about him on HF Boards...

I wonder if the HHOF will take the incident in St. Louis into consideration when they vote on Shanahan. ;)

Shanahan--Great player. Shanahan--all time great? which is what HHOF should be. No.....but who knows...there are some real bums from the Laffs of the 60s who were barely third liners in there.

Anyway...Shanny is very borderline in my opinion.

I'm not disagreeing with you - I kinda hate Shanny - but isn't he about 10th on the all time goals list?

I honestly don't care for people who decide to have an affair with a friends wife.

Always makes me laugh a bit whenever I read about what a fantastic person Shanahan is and similar.

His stats and accomplishments will probably put him in the HOF though, although I doubt it will be in his first year of eligibility, unless it turns out to be an unusually poor year.
1354 NHL points, 3 Stanley Cup rings and a Triple Gold Club membership WILL put you in there eventually.

Was it Craig Janney's wife that Shanahan had an affair with? Didn't Lindros pull a similar move?

Yeah, it was Janney's wife. Shanahan and her even got married in the end.
From what I've heard Janney and Shanahan where very close friends before it happened as well.

It's like the ultimate betrayal.

It's all children's play in terms of controversy when compared to the stuff some basketball, American football and soccer players have done though.

Ya. He had to pay some massive alimony and child support to his wife.

Not that it excuses what Shanny did but I think there were other issues between Janney and his wife. I've heard through the grapevine that he enjoyed the white powder a little too much. That's just hearsay though.

Would certainly explain why the wife would find herself attracted to the husbands best friend though, if true.

All this gossip talk makes me feel like those annoying women who have nothing better to do than spread rumours about people. :P

Gionta has a fracture in his foot and is out indefinitely. Crapola. If he's done for more than a month, the Habs are screwed. We've only got one legit line as it as and he was 1/3 of it. :doh:

I'm not a math wiz but wouldn't Gionta be 1/6 of the top line? The Habs are all smurfs, so they should each count as halfs. So half of 1/3 is 1/6. Right?

:-p
