Honestly I say give Grabovski something similar to Plecks. Offer Kuli something similar to what MacArthur got this year and give the line another chance next year. That way Kuli gets a nice pay increase and where its a two year contract it gives him the option to try and get a nice one on UFA market if he so chooses in a few years. As with Grabovski we get to lock in one of the better 2nd line centers in the league to a manageable contract.

Hartnell is just playing like he does. I mean his job is to get under peoples skin and make it tough for other teams star players. I can see it being just apart of the game.

Yep I mean top to bottom Philly is consistent. I mean Bryzgalov has been putting up consistent numbers every game he plays. Without a doubt they are consistent top to bottom.

Not even Bozak thinks he's better than Grabo...

Bozak on Grabovski: "I don't think I can do half the stuff he does". Beyond his offensive skill, which has always been clear, Grabbo has become one of the best second line centres in the league. Grabovski trains with Datsyuk in the off-season and models his game off of the Red Wings star. Obviously he'll never reach Pavel Datsyuk levels, but his production has increased every year, he's suddenly our best shutdown centreman, and he wants to raise his family in Toronto. Sign him to something Plekanec-esque as soon as possible. He's worth it.

Hartnell maintains it was all in good fun and I see no reason to not believe him .

Do Phaneuf and Hartnell hate each other? or is it just business on the ice and friends off the ice. If Hartnell was just joking and having fun with the suck it comment than that's cool, but if they hate each other and hartnell said that, then that was pretty classless, at a "just for fun" all-star game no less.

He seems like a funny guy. I don't know if he would be a douchenozzle. He doesn't actually strike me as that kind of guy.

I'm in Florida right now too...

And no, you can see way more chemistry when Kuli is on that line which gives grabo more confidence.
