Each time the subject of Zach Parise comes up, I partially tune out. It's not because I don't want to see him as a Los Angeles King. I do. It's because I used to find the odds about the same as Heidi Androl having a secret and not yet exercised desire to be my GFF (girlfriend forever)...that is assuming the wife approves and she already has so long as Matt Damon reciprocates, despite the fact I am … [Read more...]
NEW JERSEY DEVILS FILE FOR ARBITRATION WITH ZACH PARISE
June 18, 2011 By
So it begins. The New Jersey Devils on Friday filed for arbitration with restricted free agent left wing, Zach Parise. The only question will, of course, be salary. Zach wants more than what New Jersey is willing to give right now, in part due to the Kovalchuck signing and Lamoriello's negotiating style. Let's face it, Lou probably doesn't have owner Jeff Vanderbeek demanding to sign Parise … [Read more...]

October 31, 2010 By

TOP 10 THEORIES WHY ILYA KOVALCHUK WAS A HEALTHY SCRATCH
October 23, 2010 By
Surly & I have been known to theorize from time to time. So when we heard that Ilya Kovalchuk was a healthy scratch tonight against the Sabres (a game the Devils lost 14 to 1...ok, 6 to 1), our brains started moving...I am convinced one of these is the actual reason: 10. Kovalchuk asked Lamoriello if it was too late to accept the Kings' offer. 9. Ilya reminded MacLean that playing … [Read more...]
L.A. KINGS SEASON PREVIEW: THE TWO-HEADED DRAGON – JONATHANS SQUARED.
September 25, 2010 By
Goalies hold a special place with me. Most of us are crazy but given the choice there is no other position we would ever want to play. The goaltender’s relevance to the game is undeniable. It is the single most important position to the team and though they occupy each end of the ice, goalies are the very center of the hockey universe. Let’s look at this year’s highly anticipated duo of … [Read more...]
