Bolland Skating Again, Sharp Gives Thanks

Per all the standard outlets, Dave Bolland has begun skating and says his back and leg are feeling fine. Bolland could be back before the Olympic Break and could start practicing with the team as early as this coming road trip.

Is that what the other teams defense is saying? We could use what the opponents goalies say.

as opposed to combining all of their names.....

into some TMZ relationship style name, I think we should go with something like…….

Fabulous Weapons of Mass Destruction (maybe FWMD for short)

Sure, it’s long, but it is sweet.

Since the other winger position will be probably be changed a few times

between Sharp, Ladd, maybe even VERSTEEG!…so, I know this is kinda pedestrian: HoBo Line, or HotBox?

You don't want to

recreate last year’s nice line by just replacing JHC with Hossa?

Ladd-Bolland-Hossa?

What the fuck?

That’s a compliment.

All right, come on, dummy, you won the game. Come on. Pick up your trophy.

I wouldn't be completely opposed

but last year’s line was the way it was because it was our attempt at a “checking line”. We have a real checking line center this year, in Madden, that needs to be utilized as such in the playoffs. Sticking Madden inbetween tweedle dee and tweedle dum for the rest of the year might not be the best idea.

I'm not that creative,

But I seem to remember someone posting Hossbolla during a game thread. That made me chuckle.

Best news i've heard all day

Getting Bolland (and Burish) back will almost be the equivalent of making a trade.

by bluekoolaide on Jan 13, 2010 10:22 AM CST reply actions 0 recs

Its like making a trade with a really dumb GM.

We don’t really have to give up anything of equal value that it would take in most trades. Think more along the lines of getting Versteeg! for Bochenski. Burish coming back is like having a Kopecky cell phone for 2 years and then getting the free upgrade when your contract runs out.

by bangbangerang on Jan 13, 2010 10:31 AM CST reply actions 0 recs

Yes.

It feels like we’ve been skating at partial team potential all season with the various injuries. Can’t wait to see what this team can do when it’s cranking at 100% – as Burish notes, “…spark right at the end of the season…”

"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"

Kopecky

Can still travel with the team after Burwood takes his spot. Who else is gonna carry Hossa’s luggage?

The way that story reads:

If you’re bad now, that’s good.
Until its bad again
but even then it can still be good…maybe

exactly

in only a couple more years we’ll be back to sucking so the team can get good again.

Unless you believe Rocky. He says it’s all good

What this doesn't say

Is that some teams other than the Red Wings have been good since the lockout. San Jose has been good in the Western Conference for years. Colorado has really only had one horrible season. Calgary is always in the mix in their division.

And in the East you can’t say many bad things about the Devils and Flyers. Sure, teams can turn around in a hurry. But when teams fall off from first to last, it’s usually because of front office decisions and the inability to get role players to fill in vital spots on the third and fourth lines.

no, no, no

pay no attention to these heretics spreading falsehoods of other teams thriving!! The Cap will bring doom upon us all!!

yeah

played around with possible lines myself and if Bolland can play well we may have too many bodies. Especially when Burish comes back too. I can’t believe I’m going to say this….

we may have to trade somebody. (I feel sick)
