I think Vancouver may come out on top of that series. It's gonna be great. I will enjoy both Western Matchups a lot. If Anaheim can get through Detroit, they have a good chance to hoist the mug again. It will be interesting to see who Pittsburgh faces.
-
The most important signing for us next year should be a defensive coach. We need someone (not Jarvis) to analize our defense, or lack there of, and get them clicking together. When I say defense, I mean forwards backchecking too. Our forwards are so spread from the D, that we get caught all of time.

I like drama. It's my favourite.

I watched it, and I liked a lot of what said. He may not be entitled to it, but he gave the fans shit for booing him. I think he is entitled to it. We are the ones who put him on that pedastel. Now we are the ones helping knock him off with jeers and boos. Price is a good goalie. That is it. He is a good, inexperienced, 21 year old goalie, who's team, himself included, decided to do the Sens meltdown. Anyone watch Fleury last year in the playoffs? This year too? He was expected to be an instant star as well. Fleury was shaky for a few years. Price will be fine. As Bob said. "He is a thoroughbred. Your wife might not see that, but I can't bake good bread either. I laughed at that. Price let the fans know they crossed a line. The team was beat up and the defense was pathetic. He is a kid playing with half a team. What do you expect.

Bob has his work cut out for him. His biggest challenge should be to lock down a true first line centre. Through trade or free agency.
Plekanec is the centre who should go in my opinion. Koivu should be the 2nd centre. And only if it is cheap. The only thing that would worry me is I think it's time for a new on ice leader, and even though Saks would be a great 2nd centre, we may have to let him go because of the need for a leadership change. Pleks is soft. He's fast, but he did not impress me this year.
If we can get a good player for Plek, AK46, Higgins, and whoever else you can name. Go ahead. If Halak will get the deal done, do it. Bring in a vet to play with Price.
Lats and Laps should play with Paccioretty next year.
Sign Komi for 4.5 mill or less. If more, he can go to NYI. Sign Tanguay. Sign Lang, if it's cheap 3 mill or less. Kovy 3 to 4 mill.
Do not bring PK and McDo up yet. Get them in Hamilton. Get Emilin out of Russia fast. Start grooming Weber.
Trade for Vinny!!!!!

I'm cheering for Calgary and Anaheim in the west, and Pittsburgh in the East. Only care about Calgary though.
-
I know. I was furious when we lost to the Pens.
-
That's what I meant too. I didn't think it was the official thread. No offence was intended when I said someone got excited. I am excited too. Sorry if you took offence Raf, and thanks for the thread.
-
So, what lines do you start with?
The first three are easy, but do you play Laraque, or do you use Higgins Dandy Metro on the fourth. For the record, I love Metropolit. He is the best fourth line centre we've had in a long time. I guess Dandy should play D and Laraque on the right wing.
I believe that this year, our third and fourth line are so much better than past years. These two lines along with the Bruins weaker 2nd and third pairings, could mean some game winners for us. I don't expect a lot of point production from the 1st and 2nd line. Chara and wideman are too good together.
-
Habs in 7 (must believe)
Rangers in 6 (PK and goaltending)
Carolina in 6
Penguins in 5
--------------------------------------------------
San Jose in 6
Detroit in 7
St. Louis in 7
Calgary in 6
Dark horses. Columbus and Anaheim

I thought i was going to make the game threads for the playoffs
Guess not :/
Now you have to do them Cat. I think someone was excited and started one, but if you want to do the official game thread, you should.

here's one i found of Ribs!

Muntrial canadiens. End sounding like ens. (but not too emphasized) That's how I say it. My wife says Mawntreal. It drives me nuts.

Say goobye to them then. You will never get them for that. Saku is 34 years old. If there aren't that many centres up this year, I'm sure he'll gert more than that. He's a .81 point per game player. That is good. That isn't elite, but it's not elite money either. Other GMs will salivate over Saku for 3.5 million if Gainey only offers 3.
Kovy is 36. He's in very good shape. He's a .82 point per game player with twelve 20+ goal years and the best stick handler in the league. He has also shown that he is not a bitch. When Gainey called him out, he didn't whine and crawl under a shell. He manned up, said that he was looking forward to coming back and contributing. I think Kovy will get 4.5 to 5 mill offered to him by other GMs next year.
-
Good calls on the player grades trizzak. I smiled a few times.
-
Laps is totally ######ed out there. I still have a man crush on him. I remember in November, I was saying that he was their MVP, and I got shot down. I stand by this. Markov is the Habs MVP, and Laps is not only the teams most improved player, but runner up team MVP. He is the future of the Habs, and the future is bright.
Metropolit was great tonight. Where did that lil feller come from?
Holy first line Batman!
We have a second line? Who plays on it? Have they played in the last two weeks?
-
Wow. What an awesome goal.
-
I would like to see Higgins on the 2nd line and Stewart on the 4th
Did anyone else notice that none of the emoteicons or avatars don't work unless you are logged in?
-
I know. Imagine, we could have had Mike Bossy on the RW and Denis Savard at C for the entire 80's.
:( 88 to 98 are a desert.
That list is amazing! The only 1st that you could argue was as good as our 2nd pick would be Napier and Langway. And we gave up Bossy for him? Holy crow.
-
Price looked good from what I saw last night. I missed the second and half of the third due to work related issues. (Stupid Work)
I have to be honest, I like the way the boys are playing right now. The agression is right for this team. This is not a passive trap style team.
-
Don't forget Langway, Engblom, Jarvis and Laughlin for Green and Walter.
Langway and Jarvis for Green and Walter would have been OK. Green and Walter were young and good players. What I can't figure out about that on was throwing in Engblom???
-
I think Gainey said he's staying with the same line-up. I can't help but feel we need BGL tonight though, even if he sits on the bench and only comes out to beat Artukinyn(sp?) head in. You can almost argue he single handedly messed up our season by taking Tangs out with the shoulder injury. He needs to pay, or at least be policed tonight so he doesn't try something again. It's too close to the play-offs and Tanguay admits he's still not in game shape.
BGL! BGL! BGL! earn your keep!!!!
Ya, Artukin runs around a little too much. BGL would be nice.
-
I think if a player who is outgoing and a showboater does something spontanious out of excitement and joy, it should be encouraged. When they do rehearsed things like that, it is a bit silly. I hope he keeps having fun and celebrating in his Ovechkinian fasion, just don't rehearse it.
-
The true test will be tomorrow. Let's see how he plays when Vinny and Marty come home.
Sutter's a genius... Ooops, no he isnt

Vinny is a pretty big name. I would put the Schnide on the backburner too. However, that Point Per Game stat comparison of Vinny and Saks has me wondering if Vinny would be worth it.
I think it would be more fair to compare Their last 5 years.
