Agreed on Daniel sitting out... Disagree on calling this series a "lost cause". I think it breaks down pretty well for us. Finally win one on the road... Due to win one at home... Belief creeps in and we win another on the road. Game 7, anything can happen.
- DrChristianTroy


The odds are just so stacked against us, however, if you look at recent history teams have made it close. Obviously there was Chicago last year, Philly did it a couple years ago, Detroit got it to game 7 down 3-0 and I think San jose got it to 4OTs in a game six 3 years ago.

I'll say this, if we win game 4 there will be a game 6. I don't see this team losing 3 straight at home.

I think the worse thread is the Flyer thread. I posted a smiley face on there one night after a loss and got 2 days.

Yeah....I wonder what he actually did. Going through his final few posts it looks like he (hold on to your seats cause this is a shocker) was trolling in the Leafs blog.

He must of said something bad about Schenn when Ange was still around.

oh now back to the Luongo has no trade value comments.

his contract... his meltdowns... pretty sure Luongo increased his trade value but not melting down.

- Scooby_Doo



Is he tradeable or is there enough return to make it worthwhile? Pretty simple question Scoooooooooob

My sources tell me Leafman banned him in cordination with Angie...

His last post was in reference to Reimer being nomninated for the Vezina. Totally worthy of a 1 year ban, especially considering the as I see it fellow not being banned for diving, riot, luongoal, burrows hair pulling etc... comments here today.

No. No team would want Luongo. He doesn't possess the value of Gardiner, Kadri, Blacker or anything like that.

When the pricetag for another team to acquire him starts at a First Rounder+Top Prospect to even get in on the conversation, how could you undervalue his worth come contract time? Schneider is going to be one of the top goalies in this league and and should be looking at $3.5 to start. Just my two cents, not a bad problem to have that's for sure.
- Bozzy



top two? He's good, I like him, but top two? He's not better than Quick, Lundquist, Thomas, or Howard, really, if he was THAT good, he wouldnt be the #2. I'll even say the Bruins #2 Rask is better than Schneider. But what do you want for 2 cents...

I vaguely remember the flyers coming back from 0-3 couple years ago, anythings possible, just cant remember who they were playing so it must not be that important.

Ahh -- glad to see the old arrogance is back. What do you think you could get for him and his contract? Scoobers' plan was to go to him and ask him to waive his NTC. Seems like finding out if there is an acceptable return might be a good first step.

The acceptable return is making room for Schneider. Anything else is gravy. I'd look at it as if we lost him to free agency and the other team just signed him to a ridiculous 10 year contract.

I thought I read that there is a club option on his contract sometime not too far off??

Really? you'd find out the return for him first? I'd find out if and where he was willing to go before I worked on a return.

Maybe with Sedin coming back it will be similar to when Bolland came back last year?
