  1. I don't think trading Mailloux is realistic. Whatever team would acquire him will want a discount because of his history. Its not fair but that is the situation. We will never get what he is worth. We have had to endure a lot of criticism for drafting him and trading him would mean we did that for nothing.
  2. Or wait 10 days for a better offer. Given the minimal risk in waiting, I think they should have watched to see how things play out. I'm confident they could have gotten a 2nd and a 3rd anytime they wanted.
  3. I think this is terrible for Calgary. I expect Grushnikov to top out as a number 5 Dman, although I confess I haven't seen him play. Dallas got Tanev 75% retained for a late 2nd round pick plus some scraps. Why wouldn't Calgary hold out till the deadline is nearer? I
  4. Actually the game was in Ottawa and the fact that 2/3 of the the crowd were Leaf fans was part of the reason he used a slapshot. I see nothing wrong with the slapshot. It's legal, it's not dangerous and if Reilly didn't like it he could just start throwing punches.
  5. A great memory. I have seen about 10 Habs games live and this was one of them!
  6. To me that was goalie interference and the goal should not have counted. The Oiler just skates through the crease and kicks Montembeau's stick across Sam's body from his left to his right. Why is that not interference?
  7. I'm going from memory but I believe the rule evolved as follows. In 1999 they instituted that a team losing in overtime would get 1 point but if there was no scoring in overtime the game ended tied and each team got 1 point. In 2004 they eliminated ties (by introducing the shoot out). Thus between 1999 and 2004 there was an incentive for overtime games to not end tied. This meant both teams might pull the goalie in the final minute of overtime to help ensure someone got the extra point. To prevent this from happening the rule denying the loser point to a team losing with the net empty was introduced in 1999. Thus there were no games with 2 pulled goalies. The rule no longer serves any purpose and might lead to some unfair situation in some weird circumstances at the end of the season. The rule should probably be rescinded.
  8. Actually he was cut before the fight started (took a high stick halfway through the 3rd).
  9. Jake Allen ($3,850,000)and Nicolas Beaudin($775,000) for Ilya Samsonov ($3,550,000) and Matthew Knies(925,000). Not sure if the leafs can fit Beaudin under their cap. Samsonov is on a one year deal. Knies is on the first year of his entry level contract. Maybe Toronto is on Jake's 7 team no trade list?
  10. Well that's true about all positions. It's very easy to acquire players who are neither consistent nor dependable.
  11. If goalies are not that hard to find, why are there about 5 teams desperately looking for one?
