Any truth to the rumour that he was checked into the boards while going through customs and now is thinking he would rather just stay in Vancouver?

It’s hard to see what impact he will make if he gets in sometime on Friday and has no time to practice and work with the team.  It might be better to call someone up for this game to have someone who has played with these guys in camp and preseason.

For the love of winning PLEASE PLAY SMABY. He will teach this team the definition of “PHYSICAL”.

I agree with you, Dustin.  Smaby would certainly liven it up, and the Bolts need to come alive.  I watched Detroit and Toronto last night and THAT was a hockey game.  Even Kubina decked someone, which would be earth shattering that he even had physical contact.  That was overshadowed by the Leafs beating the Wings.

Let’s hope that the Bolts learn how to hit and keep the puck.

I watched the San Jose/Anaheim game last night. Although I’ve been supportive of the moves made by ownership, and had the understanding its a business, watching how Danny Boyle and Brad Lukowich played last night, Oren Koules and Len Barrie are morons, and we get Carle from this? Carle? You hardly know he’s on the ice.

Yes, bring Smaby up. Immediately.

Glad to see jokinen is back, Ryan seems to be injury prone. Bring up mihalik or smaby, either one should be good. Smaby was decent last year and, mihalik seems to have the hunger to be on this team. Can add a little punch to the D. Lord knows they need it.Dont think Krajicek will be able to make it for this game, even if he gets here, just not enough time to work with the team.

Cant wait to see the game this weekend, lets play some hockey, and read about the Rays afterwards.

Go BOLTS !!!!

Erik,  how is it that a player in the NHL living in Canada and gets traded to a US team can have issues with immigration.  I would think he would have had these things taken care of before the preseason.

Por (Mike Joyce) on October 10, 2008 (Suggest removal)

If he’s LIVING and WORKING in Canada, then moves to the States to LIVE and WORK, he is moving from one country to another and must comply with different laws.  The key is “living” which comes under the Immigration Laws of each country.  Contrary to popular opinion, Canada and the USA are different countries with different laws to be complied with.

What’s with the “We Need Smaby” movement?? He has done absolutely nothing at the top level, except be caught out of position and look confused!! Size doesn’t equal effectiveness. And now we all want Boyle back??? My my ...Big flip-flop from when he left eh? It’s been TWO GAMES!! Why don’t we watch them in person Sat and then see what’s up?? Sheesh.

I beg to differ with you we don’t ALL want Boyle back.  You should be sure of your facts before you state something as a fact.

My apologies Mike. You have been consistent in your anti-Boyle stance. Although I have been the opposite, I respect your opinion. However the “where oh where is Danny” cry after only 2 games surprises me, since there weren’t many who wanted to keep him on this board in March/April 08. I stand by my Smaby, flip-flop, and it’s been TWO GAMES statements.
