After the first week, Toronto is 0-2-1. You know what I love about Tarana? They get new management and coaching, and they stay the same crappy team. Alright, alright, alright!!! Do you miss the fact they're purposely bad and tanking? We'll shed our Leaf tears during our world series parade. So they ...

It's been so long since we've had expansion I think Bettman will make it up as he goes along. I wonder if the cap recapture will apply if they pick up someone on a long night term deal and need to get to the floor. I wonder if NTC or NMC can be exposed. We will need to protect Demko and Markstrom ...

* Saw his first live NHL game at the Montreal forum... Habs vs Detroit.. 1953 .. Rocket Richard and Gordie Howe .. Plus the greatest goaltender of all time= Terry Sawchuk in net for Detroit .. Jaques Plante for the Habs

Yep but he is doing a great job for Team Canada.. Maybe Habs fans appreciate the kids talent and work ethic in spite of his parent ?

Good move by Montreal. Puzzling they did not do this sooner. PK is a franchise D-man you build your team around. worth every penny. I agree a good move. No sense going through this next year where PK has even more leverage, ie plays out the year and walks. 9 seems a tad high, certainly no home team ...

Booth is not Swedish..

Great news indeed. Seems like every thread is getting hi-jacked with the same type of drivel. It is getting tiresome coming here and seeing the same pissing contest over and over, regurgitated again and again. Any good points are getting lost in a mountain of crap and meaningful dialogue is all but ...

hmm seems we pay a hell of a lot more for goalies than we ever get back

Same could be said about Alberts. :| Yes. Dump them both as far as I am concerned. This training camp should have been a tryout for both, and they have both failed miserably. Hey.. they are cheap and BIG :) both 6'5" tall.. Alberts is our most physical Dman.. and has not been a bad addition to the ...

So , last year we were 9th in Goals against and 19th in Goals for.. A stay at home Dman isn't going to solve the problem.. NO OFFENCE.. PS Doc.. we were not elite last year and Luongo was 15th in goals against .. we ranked about 14th .. Not top 10.. :(.. so am expecting a slow year this year while ...

Given those #'s, Hank had 40% more assists and 18% more points. So what was your point? and Gagner had 15 % more goals .. which was the argument with Esq.. .. GOALS ;) ESQ wrote: Tiger wrote:For a 23 year old with Hank Sedin stats :(.. Oil are doing better than MG.. at resigning .. Wait, what ...

For a 23 year old with Hank Sedin stats :(.. Oil are doing better than MG.. at resigning .. Wait, what? Henrik Sedin stats? Do you mean Henrik at age 23? (quote)More like a 23 year old with Alex Burrows stats, though fewer goals. And more injuries.{/quote} No... he is far better than H Sedin or ...
