Which of those 2 made the team? All I know is Carter was much more effective as a center, and Briere disappeared on the wing. Primeau's defensive game better suits playing center. Forsberg has got to be a center.

Pretty sure Forsberg has played wing in his career.

Maybe not for the Flyers, but I'm certain he has played wing.

He did from time-to-time with Sakic in Colorado, similarly to Crosby and Malkin being matched.

All I know is that Briere is much better than Carter. Positions were never mentioned. Just says forwards....

Well you'd have to think there will be lines announced at some point (prob. why Bill asked for 2 wingers and 1 C yesterday)

Yes, at the end of a game down by a goal teams will sometimes stack their best players.
So, okay: Forsberg can play wing on a line with one of the HOF centers on this team.

Then if thats the case Carter is out as well. He is a center, He didnt do all that well at wing either. He was out of place for sure, as would most centers moving to the wing

I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing getting rid of a winger when you only have 6 to start with.

It's never a Matt Carle kind of day. Just like Alexander Daigle is never the answer.

Then Kapanen is the obvious choice to play wing

I think he should.

Edit: How I'd do it:

Gagne-Forsberg-Knuble
LeClair-Richards-Recchi
Hartnell-Giroux-Voracek
Kapenen-Primeau-Roenick

Sorry Danny.

The Devils are in financial ruins...


- PLindbergh31


probably weigh leight, but an eskin rumor was going around yesterday that the sixers ownership group is interested in/is trying to buy the devils. the cuz and the prof were going nuts on WIP...i was actually laughing out loud. if it's true, (frank) them. violation. get out and take the sixers with you. the only explanation other than them being completely oblivious to why this is a violation is they intend to move the team. even then, it's weak (frank)ing sauce.

Sometimes when I study ze Q-physiks, everything is fine until I try to imagine an alternate universe where AD wound up being a superstar, and then my mind overloads and I wake up on the floor w/ blood pouring from my nose and ears...

I will never forgive him letting the Devils' most dangerous player slip behind him like that. Brutal mistake in a game 7! They win that game and who knows...

I don't really care who buys it as long as they let Lou do what Lou wants to do
