  1. Would NJ take a gamble (believing in their dominance at home) and let ANA win it in ANA, so NJ can win in front of their home crowd? Gmae 7 would be televised world wide (Santa Barbera of all places), and would bring lotsa profits. I think it'll be NJ in 7, with every team winning every home game. 4:3 But Maggie the Monkey Might just pull through. I BELIEVE!!!
  2. Hatcher would not be a good fit in Montreal. He is overrated in NHL console games, and he is overrated in real life. He can hit, yes, and he has a massive shot, but it involves a huge wind-up, one that can be seen for miles. It also has little accuracy. No, we have enough D-men. If we can rid Dykhuis to the Canes (highly doubtful but hopeful ), Brisebois for a few forwards, then that would be OK. But Tverdovsky and Hatcher on the same team would be too much too soon. Hainsey and Komisarek will be better than Tver and Hatch (IMO) this time in their careers. Sure, I'd like Hatcher, but he's also an arrogant American. I doubt he'd like to be on a Canadian team. Also, he's been on that franchise all his life (11 seasons). It means a lot to a guy (just ask Stevie Y). Markov and Tverdovsky on 2 seperate PPs would be very nice, but I don't see either trade/FA signing happening
  3. Mike wouldn't be too keen to trade away the core of his team for another young goalie. DiPietro has been biding his time, and now has the chance to shine. Snow will be the backup goalie that can stop the bleeding (if it happens) and win 20+ games. No, we want an experienced goalie to backup Garon if we trae Theo. But we won't get as much for Haron as we do for Theo. So maybe the idea is to wait, and hope we can pulla Minnesota, balance 2 goalies, and get in the playoffs.
  4. Fine, no Carbo then. It was a bit rude talking on the radio about taking someone else's job. But Julien (IMO) isn't strong enough as a coach. He's a good guy for the younger players. SO keep him in Hamilton until our next coach sucks (like Therrien). He can win us back2back Calder Cups! Laperriere as assistant coach? I'd live with it, but what does he bring to the team that isn't already here, or that wouldn't be brought with Carbo/Robinson/Julien/etc? ANd do we really want to turn our team into the NJ devils lookalike? strong defensive squad winning every game 2-1? I don't. I've said it time and time again... A 6-5 win is better than a 2-1 win. SO bring on the coaches. Getting better is good, as long as we can score
  5. If we take Phaneuf, we'll have 4 very solid defensemen in 2-3 years time: Markov-Komisarek-Hainsey-Phaneuf Do we want that? How about upgrading our forwards first? Higgins-Ward-Balej-Plekanec-Perezhogin-Ryder-Archer-Beauchemin-Ryder-Zednik-Hossa-Ribeiro. there's a good core in there
  6. yeah, he's oilers. but don't worry, you'r enot missing out on much. Balej had a good game! hopefully he can click with plekky
  7. But we're already at $46 million. can you make it $50 million if you sign Lemieux. With the lack of UFAs and the amount of quality RFAs that need to be resigned, there's no way we can have Lemieux and the team for $48 million
  8. EDM's coaching staff move to the Roadrunners... Who do we put down there? Julien Or hire Laperriere from NYI and send Jodoin down there too answers?
  9. Kim Staal. Did rather well on a less-than-solid Denmark team. What's the chance of him coming over to Hamilton next year? Do we need/want him? :godogsgo:
  10. What's the chance of you making games to go with the site? Or links to games? Not fantasy ones (SKSB), but not those awful ones from www.NHL.com. Slapshot2K3 isn't too bad. Oh well, enjoy
  11. I know there's a bunch, but I'd like to find out how many there are not from Canada or the USA. I know a few from the old board, but with the new bloods we're getting here, I've seen a few profiles from Sweden and Finland. Who was the poster on ESPN from Japan? Aargh. Oh well, if you're a habs's fan from outside NA, post a reply
  12. Can Julien go back to Hamilton for the 4th/5th rounder? Please? oh well. Do we keep the Hamilton coach next season, or what? Does he go with the EDM guys over to the Roadrunners? If so, who becomes HAM's coach? Therrien? As you see in the signature, I want Julien back in Hamilton ASAP. Not because I don't like him as a coach, but I'd prefer Carbonneau or Robinson. But that's life. I'm just worried that we turn out like the Devils: Great goalie and defense, but offense is barely enough to keep going. Sure, we'd win, but I think the majority of fans (bar goalie fans) would prefer a 6-5 game rather than a 2-1 game with lots of great saves. :ghg:
  13. Dogs play tomorrow (I think it's tomorrow there too), and we're all hyped. After 4 OTs in the last game, I think ther 3 days of rest has been greatly appreciated. One thing that I'm not sure about though... Is Czerk the jerk playing? It says he has 5GP-1G-3A-4P, so what's up with that? Did he miss out to go play internationally for Poland, or has he been benched, or has he only just come back to play? :?- Anyway, give it up for the Big Dogs. Hopefully they'll be able to win the Calder.
  14. What about signing Lemieux? If his contract is the 10 million as rumored (he isn't ruled out yet), can we go over the $ limit? What about coaches? Or Hamilton?
  15. Will Pittsburgh draft MA Fleury? It's a possbility... The Moose is still loose, Aubin has been awful, Caron is not a future goalie... Fleury might take a bit to develop (maybe COL will trade up the draft to get him... and get ROy back as goalie coach... ) But it's definitely a possibility with Pittsburgh. I wonder what they'll be like in 5 years time. Then again, I wonder what :hlogo: will be like in 5 years time. Lemme check with Lord Stanley
  16. They've replaced him with their minor league coach (Steve Stirling). Are they hoping for a Butch Cassidy success story? Oh well, here's more information that could lead to MM hiring Trottier... Could it be? Wait and see... Surprisingly... But don't quote me... Stop rhyming please...
  17. What does Jodoin do that makes him a definite to stay? And is Melanson a definite if Roy wants to join the Habs? And when you say Charon is gone, it he really gone, or is he as good as gone? And why is he gone? And why is Green still here? Who else is there left to join the coaching staff? What's Robinson doing right now? Would it be too much of a power struggle to see Robinson, Julien and Carboneau as coaches and assitant coaches?
  18. Would you put him on it? No one's job is safe, and since Roy is retired...
  19. HF says we need tougher forward prospects and better pure scorers. Who fits either mold?
  20. how accurate is TFP's salaries? Is there somewhere else you can recommend? What is the definition by your statement "no retirees and internation players"?
  21. Man, he doesn't look too healthy in that photo. Boivin's looking like his old self ( ) and Savard is probably too drunk to realise what's going on. How would you feel if you were demoted from the leading position of the most historical team in sports? Oh well, this just means that Gainey will be able to work out our defense once and for all. Markov and Komisarek are the only definites left. I hope he can work some magic like with Zubov and Sydor, the mainstays in Dallas. I saw on another board that he might be interested in getting Hatcher. Also something about getting Carbo as assitant coach, ready to step in if and when Julien screws up. I don't want Hatcher, but Carbo back would be a godsend. :hlogo: [Edited on 2003/6/3 by TheAussiePosse]
  22. Word is that Trottier will be hired over the off-season. i doubt it But I don't want Gainey. Savard can go, but only if we get a proven hockey GM in return. Does anyone have a list of all moves made my Gainey as GM in Dallas? That would really help. Maybe bring Carbo, Big Bird and Dryden back to MTL as Coach, GM and President.
  23. Hossarules said that Roy'll be the GM Any bets? I don't think there'll be a new GM. Maybe a new coach, or firing of assistant coaches. What's the Big Bird doing? And what is this other board? I want to see. U2U if necessary. ©AussiePosse Inc. Any themes and events are purely fictional. No Hossarules were injured or misquoted or offended in the production of this post
  24. Savard as the scouting part, and Gainey as the player part. I don't know, I can't see Savard staying on as Head of Scouting unless he has a say as GM. How about Robinson as coach? And Roy as Hamilton's goalie coach (shape Michaud and Goalie 'X' to Vezina candidates). Although the sour taste in our mouths from when Roy went still lingers. But hey, we got 2 Stanley Cups. And maybe lose Boivin too. Bring in Dryden or Lemieux () to be president. Boivin is an idiot. I can't get the image of him on that throne looking like an ass out of my head. :king: crown and all. sheesh.
  25. Right now it's: Midget AAA CHL Wayne Gretzky(!?!?!) AHL NHL etc. Maybe have a sort of random drawing with several different teams in each level. So going from CHL to AHL you might find yourself on Manitoba, and then from AHL to NHL find yourself in Nashville. No correlation, but it'd be fun to see who comes up as what Sure, it'd be hard to do, but you wanted suggestions
