Dante Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Pretty good read(not long)comparing the Leafs and Sabres as far as their salary cap situation is concerned. That is, after the cba is signed. Im a Leaf fan and the upcoming season looks cloudy. However, not so for the Sabres. So Leaf haters(of which there are many on this board) will enjoy this article. As odd as it sounds, I have a soft spot for the Sabres as well. Growing up 50 mins away from Buffalo I got to see alot of Buffalo games so Im glad to see they are in good shape. This article is from Slam. They are simply the best for all NHL and hockey news. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Toron...102839-sun.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZC-Boston Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Sounds good to me. I can't wait to have hockey back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrLocke Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 ]I think the NHL has many problems. I am hopeful, though that this lost season will go along way in improoving the game. I really think the salary cap could make things really interesting and get me more interested in hockey agaain. On a side note I know it looks ugly but I like the idea of the bigger net and smaller goalie pads. Bigger Net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 It's a minor issue, but I'll point it out. Derek Roy should be able to step into the lineup? Hadn't he already cemented his spot already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Real Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Players like Jagr and Roenick have already said they should have agreed to the cap in January. They questioned how serious the owners were and lost. As for the article, does anyone really think we'll cut Biron? t-r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I haven't read any of the quotes from Jagr or Roenick. Isn't it easy to make comments like this after you've lost? I don't hold any value in these quotes. Guys like Barnaby who said the same thing during the lockout are the one's who should be credited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW_BillsFan Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I thought the lockout would end some time last week? Any updates to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sen. John Blutarsky Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I thought the lockout would end some time last week? Any updates to that? 366963[/snapback] I have it on reasonably reliable information from the Flyers organization that the announcement will be made on July 15th. My wife got pitched by their marketing dept. and she asked them whether there would actually BE hockey this year or not and that as the date they told her.

CW 366548[/snapback] Everybody's so anti-MS, but the vast majority of users are using their browser. I like Firefox, but it speaks to the quality of the sofwtware when it struggles with "MS standards". A truly great browser would be able to interpret both and be smart enough to know what the web page author was trying to show you. I would imagine that you will see this sort of issue resolved in future builds of the application. There are actually a lot of things Firefox doesn't handle very well yet.

There's no real way of telling it what website something was coded for. And even if there was, you would still run into the same problem that exists now - the person who coded the website wouldn't include a tag telling firefox how to render the page, because the guy who coded it coded it for IE and didn't know to put it in there.

Ummm, ok. CW 367620[/snapback] Reminds me of the open source debate. Just because its open source doesn't mean its necessarily better, just different. Same goes for Firefox's reliance on the W3C standards. Just because its reliant on those standards doesn't mean that its necessarily better. I actually prefer the way IE renders pages to the way Firefox does, but I still use firefox for a variety of reasons (some extensions that I like). I like Opera the best, so its too bad Google's Web Accelerator doesn't work with it, or I'd be using that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because IE 7.0 comes out and the developers changed the way a particular tag is interpretted by their application doesn't mean that every HTML hack on the web is suddenly going to change how they've been writing HTML for years. Nor does it make Microsoft wrong - it's their applicaiton! Not only that, IE interprets everything - you never hear about "incompatibility with IE" - it's alwasy the browsers that haven't been around long enough to gain maturity. It's up to Firefox to interpret what the people are serving up, and really has little to do with Microsoft or IE. I completely agree with your point about open source.

Chalkie Gerzowski Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 367775[/snapback] Look at the Leafs and the age factor.....retirement home, here we come! (for pro athletes anyway) Ed Belfour - 40 Brian Leetch - 36 Ken Klee - 34 Gary Roberts - 39 Mats Sundin - 34 Joe Nieuwendyk - 39 Alex Mogilny - 36 Tie Domi - 36 The Red Wings, I think they are older than the Leafs.
