They are retiring his jersey tonight, and in my opinion Steve Yzerman is the best player to put on a pair of skates. He's a class act, and I'll miss him.

vrccan Oh no question about it, Stevie Y's a class act, and you can certainly make the argument that he did a lot of things better than Gretzky (Captaining a team for example). I'm looking forward to see what he's going to do with the GM responsibilities for the...

Alright folks, we need to do something to get some activity going on around here! I thought a good way to start would be do game recaps each time, so whoever's around whenever the game's over can go ahead and start the thread,...

For anyone who might not be completely aware of just how good Paul Maurice is, check out what he just did on the ice in the Toronto-Ottawa game. He noticed that the Zamboni had cleaned one side of the ice a bit less than the...

This season's team is the best in years, and I think we could make it to the playoffs. It will be tough with Boston signing Nakamura and the Yanks signing Pettite. But! If Rios plays like he did at the beginning of last...

vrccan This year's hitting is certainly the best they've had in awhile, but their starting rotation is still weak. If they can't find someone to toss up decent numbers in those last two slots, even career seasons by Burnett and Chacin with Halladay being his usual...

There's a lot to discuss. Frank Thomas? Losing out on Ted and Gil? John Thompson?

vrccan The Jays hitting is a lot better this year (Thomas is definitely an offensive super-upgrade on Hillenbrand in the power category, but their starting rotation is leaving a lot to be desired at the moment. If two of the young guys can rise to the occasion and...

I think the Jays should have a good starting rotation this season. Burnett, Halladay and Chacin are healthy, and they should all have a good season. Whoever fills out the rotation should be decent too. Josh Towers is a big...

vrccan Those stats are a bit misleading in a negative sense. Burnett lost at least two of those starts because the Jays only put up two runs - he's got the talent to be better than a below .500 pitcher. Hopefully the work he's done with Arnsberg combined with a...

Do you think they can get the cup this year, I have followed this team for a long time now and it seems that they almost get there but can't quite reach the end.

vrccan I'll tell you guys something, Buffalo better win the cup soon ;) with your salary cap issues you're not going to be keeping that team together more than 2-3 years.

vrccan Their new head coach is a guy named Paul Maurice, ironically the same guy that was coaching Carolina when they knocked the Leafs out of the playoffs in the semi-finals a few years back.

Should the laefs have chose Darcy Tucker over Matt Sundin?

vrccan Since they were forced to overpay for McCabe and Kubina in order to have any kind of a defence whatsoever this year, salary cap is going to be an issue in re-signing both of them methinks.

vrccan Statistically speaking, Wayne Gretzky is unquestionably the greatest player around, although he may end up yielding that to Sidney Crosby, who's on pace to break his point total when he was 19. Tough to say though, since it's still so early in Crosby's...

vrccan I guess this is kind of academic now since Raycroft's started playing so well, but I would've said at the time also to keep him O=) lol

vrccan One of the interesting things about the NHL (and especially the new NHL) is that you *don't* need that kind of consistency. The salary cap is the big leveller, which was witnessed by Edmonton's dramatic run to the Stanley Cup finals last year. Edmonton was...

vrccan Like with most other seasons, I think at the current moment it's a 50/50 shot. The good news though is that they're winning a lot of games *now*, not later on when they're practically out of it. It's a change for the better, last year they went on a losing...
