So, I just happened to be randomly surfing around the internet when I saw a picture I just had to share with everyone.

Right...Archie is touchy

the B's "only" lost Thornton...what should i say to my Devils???

Lost Leading Scorer with Elias. (till now)
Lost my best two D-Man, Stevens and Niedermeyer.
Lost Coaches Burns and Robinson.
...and now Mogilny was placed on Waivers. Holy Adam Oates, Lou dump some cashing D-Man for the salary cap but not the 3rd best scorer on a low scoring team.

whats next??? trade brodeur to philly???

I have to admit I couldn't f'n believe they waived Moginly...

But Elias has looked nothing short of awesome since returning.

We haven't had anyone to lose for around a decade so I don't have to worry about such things with my Hawks... anyhow, it's just a good thing Archi doesn't check the frontpage more often.

Hehehehe. Just saw the update

Wonder how long that will be there?

I have NO idea in the slightest what you could possibly mean.

If I did though I'd say it's lasted 24+ hours longer than I thought it would.

Oh, and I did a bit of an update for your account.

Sweet. Thanks.

Now we just gotta make sure Archi doesn't ban me for it.

Haha I'll ban Minty for changing it!!

Just seen the latest files on the site. That's awful!

Sounds like Devils fans have it worse than me, though.

As a former Leaf fan, I have to say, I wouldn't miss Mogilny if he never played in the NHL again.

But Arch they're so pretty... The Joe Thornton Traded Update is some of my best work really:

The best though is the readme, make sure ya check it out.

and you'll see this great picture of Joe in his Sharks uniform for any Joe Thornton related news items, like when it
is mentioned in news that he's scored goals in 10 straight games for example:

I wouldn't worry about that, to me it looks like they're dumping some big money for a BIG trade. By the looks of it, they're targeting some 5M+ guy, unless Lamoriello's given up and is already thinking about next summer's UFA market, which I seriously doubt considering they're still in somewhat good position to get in the playoffs.

Hahaha!! You guys crack me up!!

This is the one and only time that I can honestly say that an addon by Minty sucks

I haven't seen it yet since I turned the game on late but in Thortnon's first game against the Bruins tonight he's already been thrown out of the game due to a checking from behind major with the game misconduct being given for intent to injure. Must have been around the 5 minute mark of the game...

EDIT: Joe hit Hal Gill into the corner boards, but I think it was one of those things that the player being hit just turned at the last moment the wrong way. He did appear to suffer a pretty serious shoulder injury though. This wasn't a vicious incident I don't think, not like some I've seen... I think it was mainly circumstance and emotion of the game that swayed the ref to bounce him from the game to make sure nothing else happened and it spiraled out of control
