Posted on 25 Jun 2011 by Jon Melton.
Äæåê Ðè÷åð ñìîòðåòü îíëàéí áåñïëàòíî ST PAUL — When Dale Tallon announced his “blueprint” for rebuilding the Florida Panthers, most Panther fans were undoubtedly skeptical — and with good reason.

Bowman’s word is no good! Niemi gone…Turco in.
Posted on 2 Aug 2010 by Trent Kondo.
It's Official, Stan Bowman's word is not one to be trusted. Bowman earlier had stated that Niklas Hjalmarsson and Antti Niemi were not going anywhere, his word was bond with Hammer but I guess he spoke to soon on Niemi and now realizes he should not open his yap to Hawk fans sending them promises he can't keep. The Hawks chose to walk away from Antti Niemi whom now becomes an unrestricted free ...

Buff on the move? Soupy to the Bruins?
Posted on 23 Jun 2010 by Trent Kondo.

Posted on 15 Jun 2010 by Trent Kondo.
Starting off I just wanted to give my thoughts about Rocky Wirtz and Dale Tallon and what they meant to the Blackhawks bringing the cup home for the first time in nearly 5 decades and how they influenced the team. I have to think Rocky Wirtz and Dale Tallon were the 2 biggest influences. Rocky showed the willingness to spend money on acquiring solid players and televise all the games for the ...
