yeah. that series was very irregular. however, if they dont learn to acquire some discipline they wont win the cup again. their talent would have gotten them past the majority of teams in the conference, but eventually you come up against someone good enough that talent alone wont cut it. it just so happened that was the first round this year.

as far as trading one or two of your guys, you may have to move one because of the cap. looking at 2 is ballsy. hey if you can improve your team, youd be foolish to not look at any deal i guess. you already know that theyre gonna need some size and good defense, and the stud defenseman is a valuable commodity. it literally seems like half the league is searching for a defenseman with size and a shot who can clear the crease and yet man the powerplay. theres just not many of those guys around unfortunately

Yeah definitely. Both of those teams are insanely talented... It annoyed me that the Pens only started to concentrate on playing hockey after the 3rd game.

I'm not overly worried about those kinds of defensemen. The Oilers owner is also the owner of Rexall pharmacies. I heard he rents out Weber for 2 months a year in hopes of cloning him. Apparently they have a warehouse full of them.

no doubt about that. im still just too busy laughing over the gagner for letang knee slapper though haha

That was serious. Sam Gretzky had 8 pts. In one game. ONE.

before him, there was no term PPM (points per minute)

So how many more OT periods is this Caps/Rags game gonna be? 8? 9?

I had to ship off to bed. I'm spent after two periods of watching Braden's mom the game

Price at #2?

And Thomas is still definitely top 5 in the league... Next season Schneider will be in the top 5 as well.
- laughs2907

Price is going to be remembered with Brodeur and Roy.

Thomas is number 7 for me.

Braden's mom has got it going on...

I haven't really been paying attention that much after the 3rd period... I was busy looking up porn information on volunteering at the local retirement home. Were they still showing his parents?

When you put Price at #2, are you talking potential, or right now?

paul martin once went a whole period without being a minus player. so shall we call it an even swap?

TAKE THAT HOLTBY'S PARENTS!!!!!

i definitely think price is insanely talented. however, those guys won cups. i have trouble banking on the team in front of him to turn it around, but anythings possible i guess.

Price is very, very young. His name will be on the cup a couple times before its all said and done. Way, way to good.

Holtby's father kinda looks like Kessel.

Right now. The only goalie better then Price in the entire league is Lundqvist. He is that good. Yes, I have him above Rinne.

I don't know if Montreal will trade him...

I'd put him in the top 5, but below Lundqvist, Rinne, Thomas, and Quick... So basically I'd put him at #5... Even though Schneider hasn't played many games yet (and I hate Vancouver) I think he'll rape the league next season.

Brighter days are ahead in Montreal. That team will be turned around quicker then some think.

I wouldn't argue about Schneider. He is another ridiculously talented goalie. He just needs the opportunity. It looks like next year he'll finally get it. How he performs in 55+ games remains to be seen.

They'll be better I agree. Cups? I like Price but some fantastic goalies have never won the Cup. Just look at Fred Brathwaite.

Call me crazy but I think Dubnyk makes a huge step next year. he looked way better once they gave him the reigns. made some truly 5 bell saves.

I'm very intrigued to see what he does with 50+ games
