If you follow hockey, this is crazy news...Does Detriot pick up his option?? CUJO and Hasek on the same team?? Pure insanity..

I follow hockey and, yes, it is crazy. The latest I've heard is that he will only come back to play in Detroit. The Red Wings will NOT keep both he and CuJo, so CuJo goes, but he has a no-trade clause which he will have to agree to wave, blah, blah, blah. It will play itself out over the next few days (before July 1st). "I'm retiring" doesn't seem to mean much anymore. It's becoming the sports equivalent of the "Farewell Tour".
Regardless, I don't think too many people here (besides you and I) really care, so this may not be the best place to discuss this.

hehe you right Virgin-dunno why he came out retirement, but I think maybe he got tired of gooning people in recreational in-line hockey leagues.

Cujo goes, I was thinking to Philly... maybe straight up for LeClair... or maybe in a package deal including Gagne. But Clarke would have to be fucking off his rocker to trade Gagne... so that's why I kind of expect it. Cuz Clarke is a moron.
He'd be a great fit in New York in that moneypit scrapheap, and the Sather connection... Sather only let him go for money issues all those years ago, and now he swims in a pool of greenbacks... too bad he got Dunham, so I don't think Cuchoke is going there.
I pity the fool who gets Cujo anyway.

I agree - CuJu is way overrated. Especailly at $8 million per. There was also the rumor of Dominator in Detroit, CuJo to NYR, and Dunham traded to the Flyers. I would very much like that, being a Flyer fan. As much as Potvin sucks I'd rather have him or Hackett at $4 million a year than CuJo. Of course, Hasek would be nice!!

Hockey, now there's a fucking man's sport!
I just got back into hockey after missing it for like 3 or 4 years. Everyone got traded. Good to see Stevens still on NJ. Are Rob Ray and Mat Barnaby still on the Sabres?

Ray is a Senator and Barnaby is a Ranger... and he actually had a great season last year.
Actually, Matt B was in the news today... there was a rumor today that Jagr was a Ranger, for Lundmark/Barnaby/Nedved, but talks are off now.

I can't see Gagne getting traded for Cujo..not even Clarke is that stupid. I don't think Clarke will trade for Cujo at all...sure it would be a bonehead move, but not a Clarke style bonehead move. Whenever Philly is close enough to smell the cup, needing only a reliable goaltender to go the distance, Clarke invarably acquires big imobile bodies.The reason for this is unknown...
he'll prolly sign Cory Cross for 50 million. Clarke- "Cross Big, Big good." Makes sense, right :P

Thanks ophie! I got hella lost trying to follow this season's end. Rob and matt used to be heroes of mine.
Anyone remember that fight that broke out between Sabres and flyers? I think like everyone was duking it out even the goalies!

"maybe he got tired of gooning people in recreational in-line
hockey leagues. "
haha I remember when I read that story and laughed (and yet thought it was sad)
I'm a Wings fan and I want them to keep Cujo and trade the rights to Hasek. Cujo actually played alright in the playoffs this year, it was the offense that couldn't do anything. The Wings cannot spend another 8 million on Hasek. I don't even think they should resign Federov. Get a couple of other players with his 10 million (that he didn't even want to take over 5 or 4 years). Hockey is going to be a lockout the season after next, so sign people to one year contracts and such until the owners force a cap on the game.

Cujo's looking good in net so far this playoff...
a little worried about Calgary but no more than I was about Nashville going in, because they always play Detroit well.

Hasek gave back a lot of his pay, which was pretty nice of him.
Beating the living shit out of some Czech guy with a hockey stick wasn't very nice, though.
Cujo is looking good, but I've never had much faith in him. I still think the Wing have the best chance of not getting swept by the Habs.
