Robert Esche (Whitesboro, N.Y./Philadelphia Flyers/2000, 2001) and John Grahame (Denver, Colo./Carolina Hurricanes/1996).

7-0 losses every game

The 1980 team beats this team.... today.

Can we start both of those clowns in net at the same time?

the gunette could play for this team

Gunnerman · April 17th, 2007, 10:52 AM

I agree!

BtownJay · April 17th, 2007, 11:08 AM

We are in a group with Austria, Belarus and Czech Rep.... If we don't finish 2nd in the group, we will be the joke of the tourney. And i can see this group failing to do that.

True... however, not even Rusty's mojo could to a little bit of good with this team. I wouldn't bother wasting any of it on them Rusty.

But 1st game is Friday... i'll probably be bored so i'll follow it here.

Rusty27 · April 17th, 2007, 11:27 AM
