Comment on RBK: Reebok Edge Uniform System by Rob

Another thing with these jerseys that I have a problem with is the not just the logo on the jersey, its the entire design on the jersey. Take Dallas for an example, I loved their old jersey with the half star design on the bottom. Now look at it, their home jersey looks like a black turtle neck. Who came up with that lame design? I mean seriously when the NHL changed that jersey did they look at the two and compare and say to themselves about the new jersey,”Wow, now that is going to boost our TV ratings by about 10%!. And it looks so much better I mean all black! Wow Gary Betman your the greatest guy in the world!” Leave the jerseys alone! The NHL also said that the new jerseys would increase speed. I have not seen a difference.

Ya I don’t really like the new edge jerseys for many reasons. For starters, they look like the players are wearing a long sleeve shirt that is two sizes to small for them. Another reason is they look to flashy. The NHL changed to many things with the logos. I am a San Jose Sharks fan and I don’t mind the change of the logo as much as others but what bothers me is what’s the point of changing the logo? Honestly I wish the NHL would just go back to the traditional CCM and KOHO jerseys. If they want to get more popular, then tell Gary Bettman to sign a deal with ESPN instead of a channel that shows fishing, bull riding, and hunting.

Comment on Kevin Stevens: Power Forward Until Head Injury by JD

WOW! What a scary injury. I don’t know whats more cringing…seeing him fall to the ice face first or reading about the injury. Very scary. All because a freak accident with the visor hitting him knocking him out. I am curious as well as to know how his career was effected by this injury

It is fun to look at things like this – but I would agree. Almost no chance the Leafs would have taken Luongo. Taking a goalie that high was/is very unusual.

Potvin was a great goalie for the Leafs though. That actually makes it even less likely they would have taken Luongo. So, if the Leafs passed on Luongo – who had the next choice? The Islanders!

Kyle,
I fully admit that this is a complete “what if” scenario. However, I like to look back at trades and analyze them a little just for fun.
Hindsight is always 20/20.
I know what you mean about Luongo, but the stats are the stats. I was actaully more impressed with Potvin’s stats after I researched them. I had no idea that his numbers were that good.

It’s an interesting argument, but who’s to say that the Leafs would have chosen Luongo over somebody else?

I know I risk eternal condemnation for saying this, but I’ve never really been all that impressed with Luongo. Great numbers on bad teams, and now has a gold medal to “prove” that he can win big games, but there’s something about him that leaves me a little underwhelmed, a little like Joe Thornton.
