You people need to realize that Gary Bettman would never allow the Penguins to move to Winnipeg. If that city somehow did get the Penguins, they would be the most spolied city on earth..... Even more so than those in Denver who had a Stanley Cup gift wrapped for them upon the Nordiques arrival. I b...

Yeesh, if the gf complains about the weather here, the Canucks should trade Luongo to Montreal.

:lol:

To be perfectly honhest about it, I don't miss Jovanovski and the team really doesn't, either. Remember the fact this was the guy in the penalty box when the Flames scored the Game 7 overtime goal in 2004 and the king of giveaways.

Jovanovski's freewheeling style didn't fit in in our system. We need defensively sound defencemen. Not a high risk defenceman who will cough up the puck the way Jovo did and have the puck in the back of our own net. As far as I know, the Canucks didn't offer him a contract and I believe that they si...

The way things are looking, a .500 record may very well get them in.

Welcome to the era of the salary cap, folks.

I gotta work on New Year's Day. No drinking for me.

the so-called experts here in Edmonton were predicting the WDF would be a sellout. I'm sort of inlined to agree if we've already sold over 42,000 already.

Linden is "overpaid"? He's getting $600,000... that's the minimum wage in the NHL.

Linden's done. He's doing the same thing Stan Smyl did. He should have retired after the lockout was over. Paying him anything is paying him too much.

I had a rye and coke to celebrate the end of the evil empire at the Hooters here in West Edmonton Mall last night. Too bad the Oilers won. If they lost, it woulda been a purrfect night.

Two words missing ... Bryan Allen. They gave up far too much for Luongo. And now the team is going to rely on him FAR too much. Time will tell but I don't think they gave up too much for Luongo. Bryan Allen was a steady defenceman but I would hardly consider him part of the core. Kraijcek (sp?) has...

Maybe D could create a special section on this site for Lion players in Memoriam?


Great idea !

What better way to immortalize our beloved players? Excellent idea.

I can remember my father swearing at the t.v. during the Don Mathews years in the 80's when the Lions lost a playoff game. :lol:

For those of us that were too young, what was 'the play' back in '77.

I'm 25 and single.....I live in Edmonton and I hate the Oilers and Eskimos. I grew up in Vancouver and was raised on the Lions and Canucks and continue to cheer for both to this day.
