For our amusement: Tyler Seguin basically just gay-bashed himself.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

Have to agree with the sentiments on Setogouchi.

I've stated my case with Cooke. Even with the reputation and suspensions he's earned, he's not changed much. I give him two months into the season before he does his first goonish thing, and that's being awfully generous.

Edit: Also, Cooke might have a slight advantage for offensive upside, and is probably more useful for special teams, but to call him a replacement for Cal Clutterbuck is kind of insulting Clutterbuck, don't you think?

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

How do people feel about getting rid of Setoguchi (sp) to sign Cooke?

I thought he was pretty good...

He's streaky, didn;t show much without Cullen who is also gone, and Fletcher said he was expendable with Zucker and Niederreiter as his replacements.
Cooke gives us more than Clutterbuck at this point, especially as a penalty killer.
He also isn't afraid to stick up for teammates which is something that was sorely lacking last year.
Hockey wise it's not a dumb move even if people don't like Cooke personally.
Fletcher and Yeo have experience with him in Pittsburgh so I trust they know what they are doing.

I think I'll get a Matt Cooke shirsey for ****s and grins. He's Clutterbuck's replacement and I don't see how thats much of a downgrade.

3 more years of beat up Cleary? Don't do it Kenny.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

Hate it, even though they're completely different players. I hate the Cooke signing and will hate it more the first dirtbag move he makes wearing their Wild sweater. If he plays clean I will happily eat crow.

I'm not sure I will ever happily eat crow on this one. I think he has cleaned up his act simply due to the increased enforcement and suspensions. I think he showed his true character when he cheap shotted Marshall and then turtled the next time they played. I think he is, and remains, a dirtbag at heart.

Supposedly a false alarm on Cleary. GLM is Roported!!!!!

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

Setoguchi was too streaky for me to ever really like him much. He was just "okay" to me. If they do something good with the pick they got for him I'll be happy.

Chris Simon
Todd Fedoruk
Derek Boogaard
Matt Johnson
Stephane Veilleux

I would defend Boogaard, Fedoruk and (to a lesser extent) Johnson any day of the week, and Simon dressed no more than a dozen times. Compared to certain other teams that shall remain nameless, we've got freakin halos.

I think a lot of people consider Clutterbuck a jerk too, but he is not dirty at all. Agitator? Yes. Cheap? Hell no.

One would think that the Wild have never had a dooshbag on the roster before.

On the flipside, the people who are saying "OMGWTeFFBBQ I HATE HIM SO MUCH HE'S A WORTHLESS POS DBAG! But I'll cheer for him now since he's on my team." are amusing me greatly.

I hope he does well here. First time I've ever hoped that Matt Cooke has good fortune, but he has that sweater on now.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

I assume that Fletcher is your GM?

I'm sure that everyone will love Cooke the first time he takes a run at one of the Sedins or Hossa, etc, etc...

If he runs Kesler I might laugh...a lot.
