Ya the pens got rly lucky with that bs lottery 2005 draft

Yup. Crosby is a rare gem that comes around once every so many years. You can have 4 first overalls in a row and still not long a player on his level.

Wheres all the Couver trolls these days?

Sure are a quiet bunch after losing a couple games.

In their own thread crying about how the refs and the NHL and every fan of other teams has Nucks hate and are jealous. True story.

Boston built a yearly contender and winner through great UFA signings, trades and second round picks.

Surprising saying they traded Joe Thornton for nothing.

?

Good post?

He disagrees.

And I can't blame him. Just because Kessel doesn't lay huge hits or get loud doesnt mean he has no heart.

I love Kessel on this team.

And they got Malkin the year before and even that turned oddly enough out to be a big break as they lost the Ovechkin draft.

Horrific trade. Although right after they started doinmg things right.

Apparently Anaheim wants right handed dman. Cody franson, trade him. He's been awful and drives me crazy

Exactly.

Lets worry about upgrading Lupul, Kadri, Raymond etc before we think about trading Kessel or JVR to improve the team....

Definitely didn't get a good return but it opened tge door for them to sign big Z as their franchise guy. What a huge mistake by OTT taking Redden over Chara when they went UFA.

Franson Lupul and a 2nd for Perry.

Love it. Great idea

Phil not being physical will give him another 3-5 prime years.

Rick Nash already looks well past his prime.

I didn't say he has to hit and be loud idc about that at all just the way he is on the bench with his head down all the time and not showing up to play for half the games just floating around not doing anything. Any sport announcer would agree he does this and its not a good thing but yes the past 3 games hes been trying again and that's why we won them. He just need to bring it every game and he doesn't.

If it wasn't so comical and exasperating it would be really, really sad.

Exactly.

Yep cuz sport announcers are the judges of heart.

Sounds like the old Sundin whine....

wrong. I've been assured he will be a key part of Canada's Olympic Gold medal win.

I'm glad Nonis Barely beat you out for the GM position.

Those announcers are so insightful. Ottawa's gonna win the cup baby!

For who? Hes a under preforming RFA maybe Shea Theodore or Rickard Rakell.

Nah. Too lateral.

If they called and asked for Kadri or Lupul....giddy up.

Idk how you can disagree if you watch all the games. But w/e its your opinion and i have mine.

Disgusting they would take Nash over St.Louis...

I was disappointed.
