Nobody gives offer sheets anymore, eh? The Philadelphia Flyers just put that little myth to rest with an offer sheet to Shea Weber, believed to be 14 years and up to $100 million dollars. That takes Weber through age 40. Holy shit? No, no. HOLY SHIT! The Nashville Predators have 7 days to match. I am unclear what the Predators get if they fail to match. Darren Dreger broke the news and … [Read more...]
It’s Pandemonium! Shea Weber Signs 14 Year, $100 Million Dollar Offer Sheet with the Philadelphia Flyers

Russians, Dogs & Bitches
April 12, 2012 By
I woke up this morning with a big smile. I high-fived several people at work. Then I scowled. Brendan Shanahan proved himself a bitch, scared of taking out a star player after 1 playoff game when he fined Shea Weber only $2500 for treating Henrik Zetterberg's head like a gorilla trying to open a coconut. It does not give me a good feeling that the bitch Byron Bitz will receive the … [Read more...]
What Will Willie Mitchell’s Rumored Extension Mean For The L.A. Kings?
February 8, 2012 By
The Mayor has heard it. Matt Barry has heard it. We have heard it. Willie Mitchell is getting an extension soon. He is 35 this April. Spring chicken he is not. He does have a concussion history. He has been healthy this seasons. Knock wood. If the L.A. Kings past and luck is any indicator, within a few weeks of the ink being dry on that extension, we will lose Willie to the dreaded … [Read more...]
Shea Weber & Ryan Suter Are Dangerous Men
January 27, 2012 By
The Nashville Predators are 9-1-0 in their last 10. They have 64 points. They are third in the Central Division, arguably the best division in the league at the moment (who would have thunk it) and only three points out first place in the entire NHL. Impressive. They have something like $14.4 million dollars in cap space. Even more impressive. They are also being held hostage by … [Read more...]
The Nashville Predators Paid Pekka Rinne How Much?
November 3, 2011 By
7 years, $49 mother freaking million dollars? $7 million dollar per season cap hit? Have the Predators lost their collective minds? He is 29 years old. His career GAA is 2.34. His career SV% is .920. He is a talented late bloomer. But $7 million? My first question when I read the announcement: "Was his agent Jay Grossman or Don Meehan?" Turns out it was Jay Grossman. You remember our buddy, … [Read more...]
Stamkos Inked, Doughty Blotted
July 19, 2011 By
The first RFA hammer of summer 2011 has fallen as the Tampa Bay Lightning announced today that Steven Stamkos has signed a 5 year deal worth 37.5 million smackaroos. That's $7.5 per year for remedial math students or those of you who have a grudge against calculators. Good for Yzerman, good the lightning, fair for the NHL. But is this good for the Kings? Does it even factor in to the … [Read more...]
CHANNELING RAGE – KINGS v. PREDATORS PREVIEW
December 18, 2010 By
Every smug face at the gym today looked like Steen...and forced me to turn away or risk imminent assault. At the gas station, a fifty something year old man with a St. Louis Rams hat walked to his truck...I suppressed the temptation of spraying him with the gas pump and launching a match. I must manage this anger at the 6-4 loss Thursday night. Medicine lies in tonight's game. The Predators. … [Read more...]
