I was scolded for a 2 hour pissing contest from 15 poster that special teams don't matter much

the 23 pp goals the flyers scored a few years back in the playoffs had little effect on them over achieving and making it to the finals vs the hawks

That's a great anecdotal example

I wouldn't like it if they traded Larsson and I hated the Franson signing from the beginning and said so about it last summer. If we can get a decent return for McGinn, Murray will probably do it but I think he'll make a hard pitch for him in free agency.

So the Ducks apparently need Goltending and Forward help, as Stewert is down with a broken jaw...not sure when he is set to return...but power forwards with a broken jaw aren't too powerful.
How about McGinn, CJ and a pick for Shea Theodore...with the pick being one of our 3rds. If necessary, move the 3rd to our 2nd and get their 2nd in return.

I don't think you'll see that big of a deal, especially out of Anaheim, nor do I think they move Theodore. CJ seems destined to go to SJ.

I also wonder how many buyers are left? Without looking at their cap space I would assume LA, Anaheim, Florida, Dallas, Pitt, NYR and maybe Detroit.

Bogo had another great game. I'm hoping this isn't a fluke

The alumni game was so amazing last night. The nhl needs to commision an old guys league. 12 game season with a 2 round playoff. It would be popular as hell.

Yes, but I believe you are forgetting that he sucks, and we traded Myers along with a bunch of perennial all-stars for him
- Mentalorgasm5


Armia, Stafford, and Lemieux are perennial all-stars? Do you even hockey, bro?

Lots of dummies trying to pee on people around here. All throwing shade wherever to see if it will stick. Trolltastic!

As exciting as a big move is, I can't forsee that happening now, but do see it at the draft. Moves now will be to clear room for younger players and to gain draft pick currency. Mortagaging young talent will only happen if a top 4 dman is made available and they have term left on contract. As for McGinn, he is 3rd liner, playing above his talent level. This most likely result of who he is paired with. Address the bigger picture in off season when prices are lower and teams will need to get below the cap. Then we will be dealing from position of strength with picks and prospects available and cap space.

they would have a tough time making any trade today as they are on the west coast and only have one spare part (lesser o'reilly) with them. Maybe 1 forward can go but I don't see it happening. Possibly Johnson to SJ if we get a goalie back since he could make it to LA to backup crazy eyes.

That's why Cal is with the team. To fill in for any trades. And the game isnt until 11 they could fly someone there if they need to.

Since the two duds in the second week of Febrary, Lenner is 1.39GAA and 0.

Overall 2.34gaa and 0.930sv%.

He needs a break one game every two weeks.

Take the best offer for CJ and let the equipment manager play backup.

Hi Holmes.

I think Bogo is fine, and I don't know why he's been singled out.

There are dozens of examples of guys who are paid $1m more than they should be - probably one on every team and I'd bet 2 or 3 on some. Let's not get in a Kasdorf battle over $1m.

He wasn't fine most of the year +another injury which he seems to get every year.

Hey, if he plays 30% of his games like he did last night I have no issues either
