| Is Jimmie on a roll or what? With all the talk over the years focusing on Jeff Gordon(and rightfully so), Jimmie Johnson is starting to put together quite an impressive career! He has pulled to within 9 points of Jeff after yesterday's win, his 8th of the year! I also feel that his crew chief Chad Knaus is probably about the best in the business! Very calm and very intelligent! He has an excellent chance of winning his second straight title this year, and he's only 32! I think a Hendrick driver will eventually break the late great Dale Earnhardt's record of 7 championships, but it may not be Jeff Gordon!

| Ya tuff break yesterday for Dale Jr but wait for next year when he gets some good gear to race with from Hendrick Motorsports. Hopefully he will shine like the rest of the Hendrick team and make the chase.It was a darn good call that Chad made for 2 tires yesterday it won the race,but don't count out me buddy Jeff Gordon hes on a mission hes driving for five.

| I never said that Jeff was out! I like anybody who drives for Hendrick's, But Jeff Gordon is my favorite! But you gotta admitt that Jimmie has kinda come out of nowhere the last couple years! I like Dale Jr. and I know this is gonna upset alot of his fans, and I hate to say it, but I just don't think he's as talented as some of the other top Nascar drivers! Let's face it, the only reason he's as popular as he is is because of his name! That's not really fair to him, and people have always placed ridiculous expectations on him for that reason! He is a totally different driver than Sr. was! I hope he does well with Hendrick's cause like I said I really like the guy, but people have to realize he isn't and never will be Dale Earnhardt! He would probably never admitt it, but I think the fan and media pressure of having such a famous name affects his driving at times!

| they are all good drivers or they wouldnt be racing in the nextel cup class.having to live up to dale sr.name is alot to have to do.my opinion the best of all time him and king richard.gordon and jr are good but they have along way to go before they can be put in the same class as sr. and the king.the racers today get way more press than the drivers of years past.

| I don't know if I can agree with everything you say! Alot, but not all of it! I don't think Jeff Gordon has a long ways to go to be compared to Dale Sr.! He already has more wins and over half the championships that he won! I know Dale Sr. hasn't been around since 2001, but his career was already near the end, how many more races would he have realistically won? Jeff would probably still have more wins! Like the NHL, it gets more difficult all the time to win a bunch of championships, there is just so much parity! Having said that, if Gordon had raced back in Dale Sr.'s heyday, he would probably have 10 championships by now!

| i doubt it.yeah gordon is good but its the media who has him made out to be the driver he is.if he was driving back in the 70's and 80'he wouldnt have the hendrick motor sports team behind.he is winning because he has the strongest team and maybe the team with the most money to spend on racing.if he was with a lower budget team he wouldnt have half the wins he has.just my opinion.dont he drive the 24 car maybe he is a habs fan.

| And Dale Sr. never had top-notch equipment, and never had media attention? I'm just saying that if Gordon raced in Dale Sr.'s heyday with top-notch equipment, he would have about 10 championships by now! Hendrick spends alot of money on technology and equipment to ensure their drivers have the best cars possible, but they're not the only ones! Dale Sr. drove for Richard Childress, who has always had the best of everything! Alot of teams spend millions of dollars to give their drivers the best equipment, not only Hendrick! I don't know, maybe they have the smartest people working for them! I don't like to say anything about Dale Sr., as he was one of the best ever and is no longer with us! But he got alot of wins not only by being a great driver, but by being a bully and Nascar looking the other way! He wouldn't get away with alot of that today! Even Gordon and Johnson have been penalized for various infractions, the favoritism isn't there like it used to be! It's strange, because journeyman driver Jeremy Mayfield was probably the only driver to ever not be intimidated by "The Intimidator"! Remember Pocono in '99? All he did was give Dale Sr. a small taste of what he gave drivers for years before that, and he didn't or was afraid to do anything about it! Mayfield stood up to a bully! As for the media making Gordon the driver he is? LMAO! I've watched Jeff race since he started back in '93, and I don't recall any times where a member of the media drove his car, do you? I don't recall a member of the press climbing out of his car and celebrating in victory lane after one of his 80-plus wins, do you? As good as Gordon is, I think before all is said and done, Johnson may even be better! But that will probably be because the media will make him a great driver! lol

| a bully.every driver will do what they have to do when the chips are down to take the win.intimadation is part of the game and if you cant take the heat get out of the kitchen.gordon is not above giving someone a little nudge or push out of the way thats racing.just like ferguson sr done with the habs and i dont see anything wrong with that.gordon with his good and little boy looks is a media sweetheart and it sells tickets.thats why nascar is the most viewed or fan attenned of all sports with some help from the media.but thats business. theres something about the #24 thats keeps me from being a gordon supporter.

| I agree it's okay to be aggressive at times, but Dale Earnhardt took it to extremes! As far as Gordon's looks, the guy can't help what he looks like! I agree that it may help to sell tickets, but the fact that there are 43 race cars going around a track at speeds close to 200 mph may have something to do with that as well!

| I'm not the least bit surprised that Philly is playing as well as they are! They have made alot of improvements! As for the Habs, I'm afraid to say anything good because you will only say I'm bragging! lol Seriously, they're playing pretty good right now! I'm not like the Habs fans that you deal with, I try to remain on an even keel, because things can change so fast, for better or worse! Besides, like I've said so many times before, it's only a game played by people that make more money(most of them) than we'll ever see! I think the reason the Habs are playing well has alot to do with Souray not being there, and the addition of Roman Hamrlik! Souray scored alot of powerplay goals with his big shot, but I have mentioned before that he is a major defensive liability, as evidenced by his -28 rating! Hamrlik won't put up as big of numbers as Sheldon, but will still play the point on the PP and chip in here and there! Also has +/- ratings consistently in the +20s, some of those on not so great teams! I thought when they signed Brisebois, I figured they'd play him on the PP point, and he can still pick up the points there, but he has played alot so far and has actually played pretty well! He's 36 now, so it remains to be seen how long he can keep that up! Smolinski also a good pickup, has never hurt any team he's ever been on! But I think the signing up front that may help the most is Tom Kostopoulos! Not much made of it by anyone, but I read or heard(I'm not sure which) somewhere that the fans in LA were very upset the Kings didn't resign him! Big, can skate, hit and not a bad player at all! And I think maybe Price may turn out to be not too bad, either! lol

| never got to see the game after all got called to go into work someone was off sick.see a 5-2 habs win.from the little bit i see of the habs this year speed goaltending and the pp seem to be working out for them.seem to be healthy with no injuries.if they get injuries do they have the depth to overcome them.hamrlik was a 1st rounder in tampa wasnt he.brisbois got a bum wrap from the fans i think.smolinsky good 2 way player can chip in a few goals to.this kostoplus guy is this the same guy who was in the pittsburgh system if it is he didnt lookk to bad with baby pens if he is the same guy.

| It wasn't a bad game! Philly got a bit frustrated, which made things interesting! They looked like the same old Flyers last night, but I don't know if that's because the Habs played so well, Philly played so bad or a bit of both! The fans let Briere know what they thought of him! He also took a phantom penalty in the second, I don't know if you saw it on the sports! I'm a Habs fan, but that was a brutal call! But I guess every team has been the benefactor of one of those before! They scored on that powerplay, and I'm glad it didn't turn out to be a one goal win! I think the Habs will be okay as long as they stay healthy, but I'm sure that's the moto of the other 29 teams as well! Do they have the depth if they run into injuries? I don't know! A couple here and there, probably! Alot of injuries, I really don't know! As for Brisebois, he gets booed out of town, then returns a couple years later, and gets the biggest ovation during introductions for this year's home opener! Go figure! That's the same Tom Kostopoulos that was drafted by Pittsburgh! I don't get to see LA play much, so I didn't know much about him until I read or heard the fans in LA were pretty angry with Kings management for not resigning him! Chipchua also playing well! Habs management told Chipchura and Price to move out of the hotel they've been living in and find a place to live, so they must be staying!

| when you say same old flyers do you mean big and slow taking bad penalties.see the call on brier that was brutal but they will even out in the end.kovalev took a nice smack to.maybe might get him going on a regular basis just not show up when he wants to play.the kids there for the year is good.have not seen much of them only on the tv in the world juniors they looked good then.habs and leafs tonight hoping to watch it leafs lost last night 3-2 to jersey.two in a row on the road not easy to win the second game but its habs and leafs so anything can happen.my sabers are stinking it up so far.what about the nucks there in tough also lots of injuries.

| Vancouver has a few injuries, but their forwards are healthy but they're not scoring, so I don't know what's going on there! I think Naslund and Vigneault have to go! Vigneault was the same way when he coached the Habs! His first season they made the playoffs and even upset the heavily-favored Pens, then the following seasons they got worse and worse! Demers was the same way, but at least they got a cup with him! The reason the Sabres are struggling is simple; Miller has to be better! I had mentioned last season that teams are starting to find flaws in his game! But they'll turn it around, way too good a team not to! As for the Leafs and Habs, it doesn't matter where they sit in the standings or how well they're playing or what has happened lately, like you said anything can happen when those two meet! As much as I dislike them, a Toronto-Montreal matchup is always very entertaining! I think I'd start Price tonight! Huet never seems to be as sharp against the Leafs for some reason!

| The Habs went in and measured sticks in the middle of the night? LMFAO! Hey Reider, I think that other brain cell just took a hike on ya there buddy! That is pretty funny though! I follow sports alot, and I don't recall the Habs whining and crying about anything lately! Speaking of whining, the coach of your team has done enough of that over the years! I think I heard Ruff still crying the other day about Brett Hull's cup winner! Reider, you know as well as I do that any time somebody on their team recieves a questionable hit, the coach and/or the GM of that team is gonna complain, they ALL do it! Wouldn't you? I'm sure as hell gonna stick up for my players! Oh, but I see! If anybody else does it, it's called sticking up for your players, but if the Habs do it, it's called whining! You should know something about whining cause like I said, your coach does it as much as anyone and more than most! That was kind of a cheap shot on Demers, especially since your spelling at times leaves alot to be desired! So the Habs "stole" the cup that year, did they? I'm sure you'd be absolutely overjoyed if your Sabres ever "stole" a cup! Montreal won 16 playoff games and 4 series that spring! On the Stanley cup for 1992-93 it says Montreal Canadiens! Bottom line! It's funny though when you think of it! When other teams win cups and maybe along the way there are other tough teams that are taken out that they don't have to play, or they catch a bunch of breaks along the way, nothing is mentioned! Oh, but don't worry, if the Habs win a cup and every series isn't against a team of hall of fame all-stars, people say they don't deserve to get the cup!

| leafs 3 habs 2.oh how the mighty have fallen.maybe the leafs should see if they can play more games against the habs thats guarenteed points.just imagine the leafs are having a terriable year and they are only 2 points behind the habs who are suppose to be off to such a great start.gonchar on bouillion you havent heard any on the habs complain about that.they are asking for a rule change if you get a penalty in the last 2 minutes of ot you cant shoot in the shootout.its a know fact the habs use to send the equipment manger cant remember his name he was there for years into the other teams room to measure stick blades and curves.that just shows you how desperate they would get to win.you say winning isnt everything but it is in montreal. just in case you forgot the laughs as you habs fans call them are 2 and 0 against the mighty habs this year. yeah its alright to blindside someone as long as you wear the blue blanc and rouge {latandress special}just ask damiao and the guy from pitts he rammed into the boards head first in the preseason.not the habs they are not like that.downie got 20 games i think it was for blindsidingthe ottawa guy same as neal done to drury if my memory serves me right if that what you are talking about.aas for the goal they were called back the whole year so that one should have been to.the hull cup winner i mean.just like the gretzky high stick on gilmour in 93.depends on who you are if you are a star you can get away with certain stuff but if your not you wont.

| Reider, I've said it before and I'll say it again! Every coach and GM is gonna complain when their player recieves a questionable hit, yet aren't going to say anything when their team does it! Every team is like that! EVERY team! Even your beloved Sabres! Like I said, I've heard Lindy Ruff do his fair share of complaining about various subjects! So it's a "known fact" the Habs have sent their equipment manager to the other team's rooms to measure sticks? Where's the proof? I'm not saying they did or didn't, but without proof, a "known fact" will never hold up in court! As for the rule that if a player recieves a penalty and he's still in the box at the end of overtime not being able to participate in the shootout, I've heard that debated on various sports programs the last couple years! I thought it was a good idea then and is still a good idea now! And I wasn't even aware that someone with the Habs had said anything! I'ts funny how you only seem to see or hear things only when a member of the Habs says or does it, because I've heard many others with many other teams bring this topic up before! I'm not saying that someone with the team didn't say anything, but they're not the only ones! As for the Leaf being 2-0 againt the Habs, I've always said that when they play each other the standings or anything else means squat! I never said the Habs are mighty or anything, I just said they're playing well so far! Both real close games, good hockey! I make no excuses, Toronto has won both games fair and square! You should try that Reider! You should try to give the Habs credit for some of their cup wins, instead of whining and crying about how the only won the cup because of Roy, Leclair's "flukey" overtime goals, etc! I come on here and hardly ever complain about anything! I never said a word about the elbow on Kovelev on Thursday! The only thing I did say anything about recently was Koivu almost losing his eye in the playoffs in '06, but if a Hab did that to one of your Sabres, you'd whine about that for the next 20 years! There's a fine line between trying to stir the pot and get somebody going and sounding like a whine-ass!

| As for the Leafs only being 2 points behind the Habs, you should have nothing to say about that! Because at the moment, how's the view from the basement? It's funny that you should bring up Gretzky's high stick on Gilmour! Because all I've heard from Leaf fans for the past 14 years is that Gretzky should've been thrown out, that the Leafs would've scored on the 5-minute powerplay and went on to the beat the Habs for the cup, blah blah blah! Well, I'm gonna let everyone in on the real facts about that incident, here goes! First of all, I'm not saying that the high stick shouldn't have been called, because it should've been called a double minor for high sticking! That's right, a double minor! The rule book states that an accidental high stick that draws blood is a double minor! It's obvious that it was accidental! Anderson still had about a minute and a half left on his penalty! So when all is said and done, the Leafs end up with a two and a half minute powerplay! Where is it written in stone that they would've scored for sure, especially since the Kings had already scored four shorties in the series? I'm not saying that they wouldn't have, but to say that they would've without a doubt is kind of ridiculous! Oh well, I guess the Leaf fans shouldn't let the facts get in the way of a good story! And another thing! The Leaf fans talk about that team like it was the greatest team in the history of hockey! If they were that good, they would be able to overcome that little setback and come home for game 7 and blow the kings away, at least that's what a great team would've done! Instead, they pouted the rest of the way and lost! That spring, the Habs were 3-0 when having the chance to close out a series on home ice! I know that was a long time ago, but believe me, I still hear Leaf fans whining about that to this day, so I thought I'd finally get this off my chest and once and for all set the record straight!

| Why do we even bother talking hockey, especially when you have that much hatred for a hockey team? It doesn't matter what I say, as soon as I give the Habs a little tiny bit of credit for playing well, you'll say I'm bragging and saying they're gonna win the cup or something! Gee, you must really be traumatized by the Habs fans down there! It's not healthy to have that much hatred for anything! I thought I was bad with my dislike of the Leafs, but you got me beat 20 times over! Reider, they're only a hockey team! They're human beings like you and me! I don't come on here bragging about the Habs unless I'm provoked, and then all I do is stick up for my team! Try and do that with the more passionate New York or Philly fans, they'd go and hunt you down! I have never said a bad thing about the Sabres unless provoked, and even then only things like yesterday when I said that people who cheer for a team that is at the moment in the basement has nothing to talk about! You are right about one thing, all of us Habs fans are the same! We stick up for our team, and we sure as hell don't take any garbage from people whose team has never won a damn thing! I like to bug Leaf fans, but at least their team has won a bunch of cups! You say the glory days of the Habs are long over? I agree that there will probably never be a team that is a dynasty! If that's true, well, at least the Habs have had glory days! I don't know when, but the Habs will win another cup sometime, as will the Sabres, as will the Leafs, etc! You say the Habs fans down there are pretty bad? Well, I can't control the way people are, but believe me, I'm not as bad as you say they are! I don't go around razzing people and bragging, I only stick up for them when I have to! If they're playing well, I'll say so! If they're not, I'll say so! The only Habs clothing I own is a white jersey, a tee shirt and a pull-over sweater/jacket, and whether they win or lose the night before has no bearing on whether I wear any of them! Oh, but I forgot, if a Habs fan wears anything with the Montreal Canadiens logo on it, they're bragging and showing off! How silly of me! I also take exception to one of the things you said! You referred to Saku as "Sackof"! That's real classy, someone whose father has or had cancer making fun of the name of someone who's a cancer survivor! First class all the way!

| Actually Reider, talk to me when your team has won a cup! It's kinda funny, cause last season I read in some sports magazines where different writers said that they shouldn't play the season, but simply hand the Sabres the cup! I could just hear you if things like that were said about the Habs! It's also funny how you never mentioned that the Habs were one of a very few teams to have a winning record last season against the god-like Sabres! Oh how the mighty have fallen, from the penthouse to the outhouse! Even if the Sabres beat the Habs tonight, they will still be in the outhouse! lol I don't know why I even respond to you sometimes! It makes absolutely no difference what you say, you can say whatever you want about the Habs, past or present, absolutely anything, and the fact of the matter remains that you still cheer for a team that has never won a damn thing! You can whine and cry all you want about Brett Hull's goal to win the cup for Dallas, but if that happened to the Habs, you'd laugh your freakin' head off! The derogatory comments you direct towards the Habs would have much more credibility if you cheered for a team that has ever won anything! Hell, there's nobody on the Sabres roster that even has a Stanley cup ring! At least the Habs have 5 cups on the roster! Even Brisebois(or Breezeby, as you called him) has won a cup WITH the Habs! I might take what you say more seriously if you cheered for a team like Detroit, New Jersey, Colorado, Philadelphia, The Islanders, Rangers, Tampa Bay, Carolina, Anaheim, Boston, Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, hell even Chicago! You know, other teams that have actually WON something! I didn't want to mention Dallas, cause some of those wounds may not have healed yet! lol So when your Sabres have won a cup, then you can say whatever you want! When they have won 24, well you can party til the cows come home! Actually, people like you make me laugh! You cheer for a team that has never won anything, so the only thing you can do is try to bring other people's teams down! Does that make the Sabres look better in your eyes? Does that almost make up for the fact that the team(or the city, for that matter!) has never won a championship! The way you are are is kind of pathetic and sad, really! I don't know whether to be angry or have pity! Like I have said many times before, I have absolutely nothing against the Sabres, and in fact they are one of my favorites! But I'll be damned if I let a fan of a team whose history is mostly failure say garbage about the Habs! Reider, there's an old saying that goes; people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones! So, until Buffalo has that elusive Stanley cup, I suggest you give all your stones away!

| Oh how silly of me! I forgot to mention The Pittsburgh Penguins! Even a flightless, waddling bird has won cups before a mighty, powerful Buffalo!

| Don't take me serious either! Hell, nobody takes me serious even when I am serious! lol I'm actually not that bad, but the way I look at it, I don't run people's teams down unless they run down mine! I would like to run the Habs down sometimes with a dump truck, the way they play sometimes! lol I'm sure the Sabres can be just as frustating! Just for the record, I think they should've at least went upstairs on Hull's goal!

| It's common to get fans of all teams like that, saying their team is gonna do this and that! There's nothing wrong with that really, as long as it's somewhat realistic! I'm cautiously optimistic about the Habs this year! Don't worry about the Sabres, they'll turn it around! Just hopefully not tonight! lol

| Yeah, it was a pretty good game! I'm not just saying that because the Habs won, because the Sabres actually outshot them 29-20 I think it was! Huet and Miller both played really well, Miller had no chance on Plankanec's goal and Smolinski's was an empty netter! I have said before that I enjoy watching Montreal-Buffalo games probably more than any other matchup, because there's always lots of good hockey, skating but most of the time there's none of the cheap stuff! Good rivals, but competitive not hated ones! In fact, there's probably more bad blood between you and I on here! lol

| no bad blood my friend.just a bit of fun i love to rag on the habs fans because there seems to be one everytime you turn around.just like the person who posted the ha ha message.my god not another out there.with all the habs fans out there makes for easy targets.if you are talking hockey with a group of say 5 people at least 2 or 3 are habs fans.i do the same with anybody.met my new boss a couple weeks ago for the first time he walked in while we were talking hockey (3of us 2 were habs fans)he started saying the habs were awful so i asked him whos his team was he said the bruins.so i replyed you wont have much to cheer about this year you should have seen the look i got from him and the boys i was talking hockey with all i did was laugh.one of the guys i was sat with was my boss the guy i said this to was his new boss just transfered in from the mainland you should have seen the look on my bosses face the table went quite.he took it well though sat down and got into the conversation.it was the day the exhibition game between the bruins and isles in st johns.

| I know there's no bad blood, I was only kidding! That's why I put the lol there! I have heard that there are alot of Habs fans down east! There are alot up here too, but I think they're probably out numbered by the Sens and Leafs fans! But that's to be expected, with Ottawa about 90 minutes away and Toronto about three hours away up the 401! The reason I don't cheer for the Sens or Leafs is the same reason you don't cheer for the Habs; all you hear around here is Ottawa this, Ottawa that! It's actually worse for Ottawa than it is for Toronto, especially since the Sens have gotten better in recent years! There are many people around this area who cheered for other teams but as soon as or at least not too long after Ottawa got a team, they jumped ship! Some Habs fans did that, but alot of Leafs fans changed teams! There's nothing worse than bandwagon jumpers! It's not too bad to do that if you actually live right in Ottawa, but we're a little ways away! I just find that Ottawa fans and they're media have gotten so smug and arrogent the past few years, it makes me wanna puke! No word of lie here, but last year in the finals against the Ducks, I turned on the TV about 20 minutes before game 4 and the pre-game show from Ottawa was on! If I didn't know who Ottawa was playing for the cup, I wouldn't have known for about 10 minutes that there was another team involved in that series! If you don't like Ottawa now, come up here and live and I guarentee your hatred for the Habs will ease dramatically and your dislike for the Sens will turn into intense hatred! I used to cheer for Ottawa when they play Toronto, now I don't really care who wins!

| we get the sens on sports net east we are in the viewing network.i dont even watch the sens anymore i use to a few years back when they were trying to find there way as a team.i agree i have been turned from watching them.the only time i may watch is if they are playing the leafs or sabres like tonight.did you see that cement head neil the other night being an ass t in the fight with boulton from atlanta. to bad boulton didnt land one on the button and knock him out.maybe belak will do it tonight.not fussy on the owner melnyk he seems a bit arrogant to me.just seen him on an interview on tv he said what i want then changed his wording pretty fast when he realized he put his foot in his mouth.they were asking him about redden and a story in an ottawa paper from today about redden taking a hometown discount.if he dont resign with the sens iam sure the other 30 teams would mind having him.help the sens win the cup this year and he can ask for mega bucks as a free agent in the summer.they say he might have to give up at least 2 million on a season to stay.he would have to be nuts to do that.take the money and run.i think i have heard that on here a good bit lately.

| Personally, I think what Redden said is a breath of fresh air! It goes to show that not everything revolves around money! I guess there is still some loyalty out there! That plus the fact that he has already made about 33 million in his career, but that wouldn't matter to most athletes, they'd still want more, more, more! In the midnight hour, she cryed more, more, more! With a rebel yell, she......whoops, sorry about that, got a little off track there! lol Seriously though, it would be nice if all athletes thought that way! That's the way it used to be before money became the overriding factor in everything! What gets me is when an athlete holds out for more money, tries to get as much as possible, is offered a ridiculous amount, but holds out a little longer to get an extra couple hundred thousand even though he would already have enough to buy a small country! And after the deal is made to pay this idiot more money than Bill Gates will make in a decade, the first thing this greedy jerk will say is that it was never about the money! When that happens, I don't know whether to laugh my head off or put my fist through the TV screen!

| what about ryan smith.the oilers traded there heart and soul also a pillar of the community done lots for many charities over$ 100,000 thats loyality for you.the owners would do the same thing they would fill there pockets to.if people are going to the games and will pay the ticket prices why not get paid a nice salary if your a player.if your boss offer you lets say a promotion and a hefty raise would you take it i would.actually i would take .10 on the hour if it was offered.

| Yeah you're right! The owners can be just as greedy if not more so sometimes! But I just can't get over the fact that Smythe didn't sign because he wanted 4.5 mil I believe it was, and the Oilers offered 4.4! I know, he signed with the Avs and is making 6.2, but I would gladly take that 4.4 and live very comfortably! The greed works both ways! All this talk about money is making me very depressed! lol I would give anything to be in a possition where I had a chance to turn down 4.4 million bucks! Even if I knew that I might have a chance to make a little more later, 4.4 would still buy alot of shrimp, and I'd never have to use a coupon at McDonald's again! I might even buy a monkey!

| i would still by kraft dinner.just use expensive ketchup.4.4 is a lot of money i think i would of took it to instead of uprooting my family and moving.he seemed to be a perfect fit there in edmonton.did he have many offers the summer from other teams or did he just want to play for the avs with his friend joe sakic.what you think of the avs do you think they can win the west this year.some of the teams that were picked to be the favorites (ducks sharks)seem to be struggling.i always wanted a monkey.

| Ketchup and kraft dinner is gross! I'd buy a monkey, but I'm afraid he'd turn evil like the one in Chris Griffin's closet on Family Guy! I know I wouldn't buy Joseph Merrick's remains though! You know, all them funky elephant bones! lol I don't know what's wrong with the Sharks! I can understand the Ducks, with Neidermeyer and Selanne hanging in the balance and Stanley cup hangover and stuff! I never thought about Smythe and Sakic being good friends, so that probably had something to do with him signing there! Or maybe he wanted to buy a monkey and it cost more than he thought! lol

| if you had a pet monkey hw would he use the can.would you have to house train him with newspaper first then move him to the litter box or just take him outside for a walk.bet it would be owful messy trying to house trai him.remember was in a club downtown years ago benders on george street.i was feeling no pain leaning on the bar waiting to get another beer when i noticed a guy with something sitting on his shoulder with arms wrapped around his neck.so being me i had to go see what it was he had his pet monkey with him .
