Answer 2

And impossible with the salary cap :-)

Answer 3

hahaha, i guess you do, you're a Bolts fan.

Answer 4

Wow thats a good one!! I think you tricked almost everyone including myself! I thought you were serious. With the lightning signing so many players, it was almost believable.

Answer 5

you s****.i thought you were telling the truth. if that were to of happened i would egg the st.pete times forum.

BOOM

Answer 6

I remember when all the Penguins were going to the Capitals. Thought D.C. was going to change to a Black and Gold scheme. Guess now they would all be going to Tampa Bay, yeah if TB could afford it I could see them doing it. Guess it wouldn't be a bad idea though, take the Championship team and see expect to become one.

Answer 7

Thats great Haley! Where on the blueline will he play?Left or right?Maybe the new goalie?

JR-Ollie the Goalie is the savior in the nets?He lost his job to a guy who played 13 games last year.Dan Boyle your best Dman was a -29.Not bad?Most goals let up by a team last year.They need help and Kolzig isn't the guy.

JR again-Where did I say anywhere that Boyle was horrible?Also Kolzig is now 38 not exactly a spring chicken.He was a steal probably at $1.5 for a Vezina winner but they could have added more depth at the blue line.Now if something happens to some of your offensive stars you don't have enough money because of some of your offseason signings(ie.Malone).

JR AGAIN-SCHOOL ME!!??Your saying this COULD happen or this MIGHT happen.Maybe if they did this..Where are you schooling me?What if Boyle gets hurt or Kolzig who has a tendency to get hurt gets hurt AGAIN then what??School me?Please.IF Gagne doesnt get hurt,IF Kimmo Timonen doesn't get hurt for the Pens series.I can play the what ifs all day too.What IF Primeau or Lindros don't have concussions?What IF Stamkos isn't their savior?Also Melrose couldn't win with 99 so you think years later he can win now?I'll be the first to admit when or IF I'm wrong.Would you do the same?

Answer 8

Lightning are out of money HOMES! I think they got 4mil left???

Answer 9

you got me

Answer 10

DUDE! i hate you. a lot.

i almosted pooped myself. i thought he actually signed with them. lmfaooo. i hate youuu!

Answer 11

Funny in a... I'm-going-to-die kind of way. LOL. Just kidding. But I when saw "OH MY GOSH" and "Hossa" in the same sentence, I did almost have a heart attack. :b

Answer 12

Yeah, we only have like 7-6.4 Mill left

You scared me for a second though LOL

EDIT:

Joe B - the blue line is fine, just young, everyone acts like they were the worst in the NHL, they were not.  We may only pick up 1 D-man to support Boyle and Kuba. Darche-Ranger-Halvac are all up and coming.  And the Goalie has been taken care of, what's everyone's excuses now?

EDIT:

Want a real shock for TBL though?  There are small rumors that they might shop Smith with desire to bring back Khabi and have a Khabi/Kolzig tandem....my jaw dropped, it's only a rumor though

EDIT:

Joe - it's typical you would fail to mention Boyle was hurt half the season.  Boyle was also the #2 scoring D-man 06-07 when he was health all year, you're right Boyle is horrible. As for Kolzig, Kolzig lost his starting job to a 32 game winner, Huet was better to begin with, Kolzig did nothing wrong.  He is a consistent 20 game winner...with the exception of last season, the Caps have consistently scored less goals the TBL.  Kolzig fits in perfectly with TBL and will prove it, as well as mentoring Smith (if he stays).

Joe - You want to talk about age then, look at our D, O'Brien - 24, Lundin - 23, Picard - 22, Ranger - 24, Smaby - 24, Janik - 27, Kuba-Boyle-Lukowich are the only ones that break 30.  The D is young, not bad...it is fine and Melrose has faith in them.  Put Jason Smith or Oprekin in there and they will be fine, BTW they are looking at both those D.  The offense is now deep enough to overcome it's own injuries without backup from the blue line. With an improved/proven goalie in goal like Kolzig, some of those 6-5 loses can be turned to 5-4 wins.  Smith is 25 and Ramo is 21 and will benefit from a 38 year old vet.  Also Smith might be shipped out for Khabi, so Kolzig/Khabi yeah they are both horrible.  May I school you somewhere else?

Answer 13

LOL!!!! You really had me going there fo a while!

Answer 14

My heart dropped and i really thought you were serious lmao.

Answer 15

Thanks for almost giving me a heart attack. LOL
