...nice try Soy...although Kovalev is a good player, there would be no way I'd give up 20 yr. old Toews for a 37 (on the 24th) yr. old no matter who he is...me thinks you are trying to takes advantage of my relative newness to the game, my friend...as far as Khabibulan goes, I like him more than I do the quite capable Huet...both are avg. 2.37 GA...I do believe that Khabi is on a 1 yr. deal and is 39 (Jan.) yrs. old...Huet is 33...but we don't have a 3rd goalie if either went down...I know you'd like to improve on your G position (Price 2.72 and Halak 3.06 GA)...one of them would definately have to be a part of any deal...Toews is the problem...I like him more than I do Kane...but he won't be in any deal either (nor Havlat)...
...NHL Network isn't pay-per-view, although there is that option to get all the games...it's the NHL's official station here in the states and it contains 24/7 programing...lots of 'Vintage Games' episodes and biographies...akin to the other major sprts networks...later on I'll post you a sampling of a typical evenings programs...I think you'd really like it...

HI RON...YES THE NHL NETWORK IS ALSO AVAILABLE HERE,BUT NO THANKS,IT'S JUST A MONEY GRAB FOR THE LEAGUE WITH A LOT OF PROGRAMMING THAT'S GEARED MORE TOWARDS TRYING TO ATTRACT THE U.S. AUDIENCE...HOPEFULLY THOUGH YOUR ENJOYING IT,IF YOU SUBSRCRIBE...AS I'M SURE YOU CAN IMAGINE,WE GET MORE THEAN OUR FILL OF THE GAMES UP HERE,AND EVEN THOUGH PAY-PER-VIEW IS A COMMON THEME NOW FOR YOUR U.S. MARKETS AS FAR AS HOCKEY GOES,HERE IN THE GREAT WHITE WE GET A LOT OF GAMES AT NO EXTRA CHARGE...LUCKILY FOR ME BEING A HABS FAN AND LIVING WHERE I DO,I WILL NEVER MISS A MONTREAL GAME (EVEN THOUGH I DON'T WATCH EVERY GAME),AS THEIR MAIN BROADCASTER CARRIES EACH AND EVERY GAME (NEVER A BLACKOUT) ON MY CABLE SUPPLIER AT NO EXTRA CHARGE...I KNOW SOME WHO HAVE ORDERED THE 'NETWORK',BUT REALLY FOUND IT TO BE A WASTE OF MONEY,DUE TO THE REASONS I ALREADY STATED.
...HEY HOW ABOUT A TRADE???....YOU SEND US THAT GOOD CANADIAN BOY TOEWS AND THAT RUSSKIE KHABIBULAN AND WE'LL SEND YOU BACK THAT RUSSKIE KOVALEV! SOUNDS GOOD TO ME! (Quoting Message by ronhartsell from Wednesday, February 18, 2009 5:28:13 AM)

Down 3-1 with less than 2 min. left in the 2nd period, the Blackhawks come back to win 5-3...I realize it was in Tampa, but coming back like that on away ice is a good confidence builder no matter the team...
...Soy...do you get the NHL Network???
