I see another imperfect pattern there too. Most of those teams have either a Norris defender or a Vezina goalie or sometimes both.

Yeah after looking at the last 4 years i noticed a pattern that neither team in the finals had either a norris trophy nominee or a vezina trophy nominee that season.

Maybe not nominee but most definitely Norris/Vezina calibre.

As touched on, I think Anaheim has yet to meet a real 'contender'. It will probably end up being a Chicago Anaheim Western Final, at which point we will see what they are truly made of. But I do agree they've looked excellent thus far.

As far as the conferences go, perhaps in general the teams may be a bit slower (although I think it's tough to gauge) but certain teams (like Montreal for instance) generate good team speed, so I think would match up fairly well against some of the western teams here.

I in all honesty don't think Chicago has the goaltending this year. And I would have agreed with you on the NYR, but they lost to the Caps and I don't think the caps are very good. Montreal has good team speed but much like the Canucks, they can't engage in games that get physical & are too small, but I could see Montreal playing for the cup this year.

Funeral?

Yes but I was talking nominated. only 2 seasons since 2006 has a player not been nominated or made the finals that were a selke candidate.

Appreciated thank you. lol my fiancee was reading the wine conversation you were having today. She wants a list from you guys on which wines she should try. She figures you gentlemen have a much better idea of which wines are good. Granted we don't live in BC so wines that may be here in MAnitoba.

If RNH can have the same conversation that Bowman? gave to Stevie Y. Then probably Edmonton will have a real dynasty.

Lol I drink mostly N Grape and Sol.


I use to drink Chateauneuf de Pape * sp when it was 8 dollars in Montreal and Malbec when it was 6 dollars. Now CNDP is like 63 dollars a bottle. I am not a fan of Mission Hills or Jason Triggs?

I raise the price of wine. I drink lots of it when it when it is under 10 dollars raise the stocks because of sales , soon it hits 14 dollars a bottle and then guys like Vintage and Cuban raise it to 50 dollars for that same bottle

Try Joie if you can find it. It's just over $20 a bottle and probably the best white wine coming out of BC.
