However, he had been a Flame for a long time, and PCs were certainly different back then :P<br /><br />Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that your article and MHCO's latest have both inspired my own most recent post.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03971849739608272117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012857908104329052.post-38864926325371289162012-02-28T15:49:57.543-08:002012-02-28T15:49:57.543-08:00It's interesting how the blogging world has re...It's interesting how the blogging world has really changed my view on how I watch hockey. I feel as if I have connections to certain teams and players. It's nice to know you're thought of by others around the hockey world too! I certainly think of you every time we play the Devils or they make the news, same with other teams of other bloggers.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07034834553791036082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012857908104329052.post-84346821076394949772012-02-28T15:47:28.600-08:002012-02-28T15:47:28.600-08:00Ya know that is a question I'm still mulling o...Ya know that is a question I'm still mulling over and I've been a Canucks fan all my life and have no intention on changing...EVER. BUT, Cody was a guy I watched develop and grow and I've invested so much time into him that I feel like it would be doing a disservice to myself to give up on him. So I think I will continue to collect his cards but it will be tough seeing him as a Sabre (that's for sure)!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07034834553791036082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012857908104329052.post-62182054818295288432012-02-28T15:44:55.556-08:002012-02-28T15:44:55.556-08:00After talking about the trade ALL day with many di...After talking about the trade ALL day with many different people, I've come to a very important conclusion. I'm NOT mad at Kassian (his skill level etc) but I AM mad at how Hodgson went and how little he was appreciated for. I feel like Gillis sold the farm a little bit and he UNDERSOLD it at that. <br /><br />I think it's clear that Kassian does not replace CoHo SHORT TERM. Nor will he replace CoHo LONG TERM. That is why I think we undersold Cody to Buffalo. I'm just very disappointed at the trade and I think the Sabres really stole this one away. Also out of all the confrontations I've had today with schoolmates and others wanting to know my opinion I've learned that people that believe this trade is justifiable don't have any proof to back that up.<br /><br />But I'm happy for you Marko :)Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07034834553791036082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012857908104329052.post-16121237300752024982012-02-28T06:30:20.447-08:002012-02-28T06:30:20.447-08:00Yeah, those trades can get weird. My first hockey ...Yeah, those trades can get weird. My first hockey idol was Patrick Roy, and I never thought he'd play for another team than the Habs. Turns out he did just as well in Colorado, and since the Avs were pretty much the old Nordiques, I didn't have too much trouble staying true to him.<br /><br />But I've been against almost all the Canadiens' trades since then, will always doubt them. It turns out I'm right to, too.Sébastian Hellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838482234070823738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012857908104329052.post-50242706748428897932012-02-28T02:50:32.062-08:002012-02-28T02:50:32.062-08:00Thought of you right away on this one kid.

I stayed a Devils fan of course, but my favorite player also remained Guerin which isn't hard to do trust me! I say keep it up, after all his cards are about to get a fair bit more affordable in the province of BC!Dave Hhttp://waxstainrookie.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012857908104329052.post-62868454460483283672012-02-27T23:55:07.523-08:002012-02-27T23:55:07.523-08:00Welcome to my world.

I followed him to New York and became an Islanders fan. My desire to collect his hockey cards was as strong as ever. It was definitely an odd time though. <br /><br />When he made his way back to Vancouver a few years later, I was thrilled for him. <br /><br />Is it the jersey on the front or the name on the back that's more important to a player collector? That's the question to ask yourself.bamlindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144916743107134577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012857908104329052.post-44828137060299127752012-02-27T18:19:28.322-08:002012-02-27T18:19:28.322-08:001) yes, i have been in your position before. summe...1) yes, i have been in your position before. summer of '07 when we lost Daniel Briere and Chris Drury, who pretty much won us a presidents trophy with the help of Ryan Miller. <br />2) As for kassian, you will get this... <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fC1ZLG0rfP0#!<br />and this...<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1qudbtB-MA<br />like u said, big kid who plays physical. He can score and has great puck possession skills. He's a great young hockey player who I think will only get better with experience. As for Gragani, he might turn out well also. I didn't really care for him this year, but i'm impatient. I think in a few years, he can turn into a solid d-man for the power playR Markohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344970016392956310noreply@blogger.com
