When the hell are the Minnesota Wild going to call Matt Foy back up?

They probably won't next season barring some major disaster.  He's doesn't have the speed that Lemaire is looking for, but he does have a booming shot.  IF (big if) he is called up, it'll be for a very specific roll - 3rd line sniper or checking line winger... if he's lucky, 2nd line on the 4 man kill.

Are we so desperate for news that we’ll jump on anything these days? Is this the only shining star of hope for news available? Have we not learned from past news articles that are similar?\n\nBrock Lesnar calls Vince! Brock Lesnar wants to come back to WWE! Brock Lesnar gives up on NFL dream!\n\nUntil I physically see Brock Lesnar back in the ring, I do not believe ANY of this.\n\nLet me discuss the things that I am basing this decision off of. Being within reach of the local Minnesota sports radio station, I kind of have an inside track on what Brock Lesnar may or may not be doing about the NFL.\n\nWhen Brock left the WWE, he went to tryout for the NFL. This is an indisputable fact. Brock Lesnar was given a tryout by ONLY the Minnesota Vikings and was not able to make the team. This is an indisputable fact. Once he was denied access to the team, he tried to make it to the practice roster, and was signed. This is an indisputable fact. Brock Lesnar was then subsequently cut from the practice roster. This is an indisputable fact.\n\nNow, we get into some of the other goodies or the “intangibles”.\n\nBrock stated that he would do whatever it took to be an NFL player. He made comments about continuing to practice, workout and even his willingness to play in the NFL Europe league for a couple of seasons, if that is what it takes.\n\nNot one year later, people are already jumping on the “Brock’s coming back” bandwagon, just like they are all on the “Bret Hart is coming back” bandwagon (which, by the way, is NEVER going to happen, so please stop reporting it).\n\nWhat about the NFL Europe? Brock Lesnar would be a BIG addition to the NFLE and would make a nice addition to any of the six teams that play in that league. Worst case scenario, his skills can’t be developed and he hasn’t wasted the NFL’s “main league” time and money on trying to make him into something. At least in NFLE, you can see him play and see what he can do in an actual game.\n\nWhat about what Brock is actually saying? Brock Lesnar never fails to grace the radio show on KFAN hosted by Mike Morris (former Minnesota Viking). The show has Brock Lesnar on at least once every two weeks (longest gap I ever heard when I could catch the show) and Brock usually keeps the local Minnesotans up to date on what he’s doing.\n\nI haven’t heard ONCE that he is trying to come back to the WWE. Anyone who mentions that Lesnar has been on never says anything about a return, thus, it isn’t happening.\n\nBrock Lesnar is still chasing the dream! Not begging Vince to come back, he is still trying to become an NFL player!\n\nThere are other ways to make it into the NFL, too. What?! Not just getting a tryout? How can that be?! The NFL takes players from the AFL, CFL and other minor leagues and Brock can easily compete in one of them. Would they take him? Why not?\n\nBrock Lesnar, despite his lack of supreme football knowledge, is still a large man who can be used to block holes. Am I the only one that would use this to my advantage in a non-NFL league? For Christ’s sake, people, Brock is not small.\n\nTo avoid beating a dead horse, I’d like to summarize the above in a nice and neat sentence:\n\nBrock Lesnar is not trying to come back into the WWE. \n\nUntil you see it, don’t believe it. I don’t.

I think hiring Nolan is great for the Islanders. I have never understood why it has taken this long for him to get another head coaching job in the NHL when there have been so many bad head coaches. I think because of the long layoff he's had coaching in the NHL, not coaching in general, I know he's been coaching, he will bring some enthusiasm to the Isles. As far as Neil Smith goes, I'm a little leery about that move. He did make a lot of questionable acquisitions as GM of the Rangers the last few years but perhaps he can regain the magic for the Isles. Anything has got to be better than the crap the Isles have put together on the ice the last few seasons.

Big Sabre Fan here from Oregon, Yes he will play according to TSN from Canada, a news wire I get everyday. GO SABRES, Keep believing.

Um first its "Giguere".  Secondly, I sure hope not. He's not doing very well, and Bryz is doing much better.  If we want to win, the Ducks need to rely on the better of the 2 goaltenders, which is Bryzgalov.\n\nI like Giguere, but if he's not 100 percent, why risk losing just because he's the #1 goaltender?\n\nSo to answer your question:\n\nNO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO! PLEASE... NO!

I'm a die hard Oilers fan but it sure is nice to see him come back. I always liked the way he played, and since the Hurricanes are down Doug Weight it's nice to see them get him back to make it a more even game. This is going to be a tough one I'll admit but I think we can win it. Game seven however.....Here's to the dream!

Yeah, that would help.  They won't be able to do that until they figure out how to counter the trap that the Ducks have been using so successfully.  Then they need to get in the head of the Ducks' goalie, who's overdue to have a bad game.  Or so I hope.\n\nAnd I agree with Istotch 100%.  I'm sick of Stuart Scott and his lazy eye.

Moore from Colorado got suckerpunched to the back of the head from Bertuzzi on Vancouver Cunucks. This was in the 2003/2004 season

I think Edmonton really WANTS it more, but stupid Carolina is actually gonna take it home.\n\nFrom:\nA bitter Sabres fan.

Hasek is still out for Ottawa.  \nKasparitis played the last game but he might not play in the 1st round for the Rangers.\nForsberg is back but will probably get injured in the 1st game for Philly.\nTomas Vokoun might be out for Nashville with a sore back & blood clots.

Are you kidding, Moon? The Buffalo Sabres have been my team since their inception. I was only 6 when they made their NHL debut in 1970. Gilbert Perreault was my childhood hero growing up in those snowy Buffalo winters I recall so fondly. Erm, those same winters become less fun as one ages, I can tell you. lol...\n\nAlthough I've not lived there in many a winter I remain steadfastly loyal to the Sabres and have thoroughly enjoyed this exciting comeback season and playoffs -- and we're not finished yet! Although we lost to favoured Ottawa last night, we're still up 3-1 in the series and I believe we'll finish them off on Saturday (Monday at latest).\n\nAs for who their best players are, please bear in mind that these talented young Sabres are a team with a capital T. They are something of a no-name cast who outwork, outskate and outhustle every team they face. I adore this club! The consensus best players are: Ryan Miller (their exceptional rookie goaltender), Daniel Briere (co-captain), J.P. Dumont (Briere's linemate and close friend), Jochen Hecht (3rd member of that line and the team's best defensive forward), Chris Drury (the other co-captain), Maxim Afinogenov (best and fastest skater and playmaker) and their younger future star players like Tim Connolly, Ales Kotalik, Derek Roy and Brian Campbell. I'm leaving players out because, by rights, I should just name the entire team. It's just an amazing group of players (and coaches) who get along great and support each other on and off the ice. I LOVE this freaking team and, baby, we are going ALL THE WAY!\n\nLET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!! \n\nP.S. Thank you for asking! :)

They need to bolster their defense. Dejardins is old and slow and needs to be traded. I also think it's time to get rid of Brashear. I think it will be a very different team next fall.\n\nGo Flyers!!

I'd like to think so. He has made his displeasure with the current regime known, however.\n\nThis is gut-check time for the Wild front office. Gabs is a great young player that under the right tutelage, could explode into a bonafide superstar. \n\nThe problem seems to be that he doesn't really fit the Wilds' play style, and especially doesn't fit Coach Jacques Lemaire's idea of how he should play. Also, he can't seem to stay healthy.\n\nI would hate to see the Wild come away with nothing for him.\n\nWhile I think they should pay him, I'm more than a little reticent about overpaying him. \n\nNo, I don't think Gaborik will stay in Minnesota. I think either they just let him go in FA, or sign and trade. \n\nI'd like to see him stay, but I just can't see it happening.

GO SABRES!!!  (I thought I'd change it up a bit)\n\nIT'S MILLER TIME!
