And she likes hockey. The world needs more girls like that.

Not to mention the fact that Leighton's stats last year in the AHL are very impressive. We may have picked up a very solid goalie here. He'll be backing up Miller next year.

So what are those black jerseys they're wearing?

TNA is run by Jeff Jarrett and his father. Vince absolutely hates Jarrett.

I'm Mike Grier's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.

I'm still waiting on a link. I know a sports talk show host in the Minnesota area. Every time he's mentioned something like this related to Minnesota sports, he's been right.

There's a story out of Minnesota (I'll post a link when I find one) that Manny Fernandez has walked out on the Minnesota Wild. They might be in the market for a player like Mika now.

That's what I get for looking at his stats the day after reading your post. Anyway, I still think it should make for an interesting situation. Both teams will probably want their guy playing. Just looking at the numbers Leighton put up last year (very impressive stats), he has to start most of the games.

http://www.mightyducks.com/images/200503/98.f.jpg That jersey is black. I guess they can use it since there is black in the background of their logo, but still, that's a bit of a stretch.

I was thinking the same thing about third jerseys, but then there's that ugly Atlanta 3rd jersey. I've never paid too much attention to their regular jerseys. Is that blue actually in them? The Anahiem 3rd jersey is another one where the color doesn't seem right. edit: The blue is in the Atlanta jerseys. It's about as sublte as the red eye in the old sabres jerseys. As for Anahiem, I don't see how that jersey fits into their color scheme.

I should probably read before I post. Make that '78.

But it's always the QBs fault.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it happen, but this is one of those "I'll believe it when I see it" situations. Luckily, we're only 9 hours away.

Here's another problem I have with this. If they want to make this a big surprise, why is some guy openly telling you about this?

The Panthers will want him to be playing and Buffalo will want Leighton playing. That should make for an interesting situation. Also, 28 is relatively young for a goalie. That's generally the age where they start to thrive. edit: I just looked him up and he's 27 (March '78). It really doesn't mean much, but I wanted to point that out.

Rochester actually has a goalie already. The Panthers are now a parent club for them as well. They have a young goalie, Jean Marc Pelletier that they assigned to Rochester. I don't know much about him, but I think that he was a well regarded prospect a few years back.

But I'm sure you can understand why some people would.

They need to dump Marty Brown right now. What exactly was that "finisher"?

Did you see the pictures of the murals they painted in the arena? It seems like a pretty poor plan to put up all these pictures of uniforms that no one will be wearing.

Just like in the NFL, uniform changes have to be approved on year in advance. They can get special permission to wear the old jerseys like they did a few years back when Golisano took over, but that's it. You won't be seeing anything new (or old) this year. Ignoring the rules for a second, here's another reason why this won't happen, money. If they were going to change jerseys, they would've announced it so that they could make more money in the Sabre Store.

That's the second time in the last few weeks that I've seen him listed as a d-man. People really need to do some research. I expect more from TSN. As for the trade, I'm confused, but I can't wait to see what happens next.

Running the ball 16 times. Yeah, there's a ton of pressure on McGahee.

That show was absolutely terrible.

What, no one has any comments about the picture in that article?

Supposed to be very good? That might be an understatement. He's being hyped as the second coming.
