You do know its based on a graphic novel for its stylized depictions…Other movies like Alexander make Persians look a lot more respectable.

I really don’t think Persians had giant fat guys with lobster claws running around their country btw.

terrible fight. Barbarians vs the most trained soldiers and kings personal guard for the Persian Army. If I remember the fight came out close to 700-300 in favor of the immortals.

I don’t think they should of done Spartan v Immortal but against a similarly armored opponent would of been more interesting.

Honest question – is Gonchar truly one of the best UFA out there or is my Penguins “issues” clouding my judgement? I think he looked old during the second half of the season – I guess he has played alot of hockey over the past couple of years. But he sure does look like he has slowed down. Is he worth anywhere near what he is asking?

Yeah, saying “one of the best” is very, very relative to how poor the UFA class is this year. As much as I like the guy, Hamhuis isn’t exactly a name I’d associate with “big money UFA” either but…there he is.

They do, but I take Ted at his word on that. Of course, if the Caps do something crazy (like trade Sasha), then all hell will break loose. I’d expect two role players to be signed, one at C and one at D. Might not even be today, but you have to think they have their sights set on some guys.

Right, but I don’t think he left because he wanted out – I think he left because we weren’t willing to give him as much money or as long a term as he wanted. I think he was hoping we’d re-sign him, to be honest. If it wasn’t about the money, then I’d think he just hated DC.

We’ll see what Michalek signs for but my guess is he thinks he can get more than that on the open market – if he doesn’t, we’ll know he just wanted to leave Phx.

I have to say, I like Biron a lot – I think he gets it, he’s not out to money-grab. He knows his role, he’s accepted it, and he’s willing to take less money if it means he gets to play.

Granted, backing up Lundqvist will give him like 5 games a year, but still…and that’s a pretty sweet per-game rate for Marty.

the caps should be so lucky if he only asks for $6. He’s a two time Norris nominee, two time first team all star, and the only guy not named “Nicklas Lidstrom, best defenseman in the game” to break the ppg barrier since 1994. Oh, and he did it twice, in back to back seasons. Defensive breakdown and brainfarts and all, he’s going to be able to command a HUGE sum of money.

except I think he’s still an RFA when this contract is up, so maybe things will work out just fine and I’m just being a drama queen.

In all seriousness — is anybody out there thinking we should have gotten a player that has already signed for the same amount of money?

Michalek is interesting. Armstrong is interesting. But I don’t feel like the Caps missed out.

They have until 5PM of their first game. Otherwise the NHL won’t let them ice a team. And I won’t be surprised to see a bunch of “LTIR – Undisclosed Injury” notes.

Michalek alone is a pretty important upgrade. Right now PIT and PHI are the class of the East.

Phoenix had a better goalie behind Michalek and couldn’t get out of the first round. Not convinced that one move makes Pittsburgh that much scarier.

Michalek is a significant upgrade over who would have been there. PHX’s playoff performance is irrelevant.

by Rob Parker on Jul 1, 2010 3:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

Michalek might make them better defensively but don’t forget that they lost Gonchar. I’d like to see how their power play does without him before making such claim. Also, don’t forget that the Pens lost most of their games against the top teams last season. Does losing Guerin and Gonchar and adding Michalek really makes them so much better right now?
