I'll wait one more season of misery before accepting Markov sucks now.

Well a full training camp should help. A few months of regular season play should be easier to see if he has indeed lost a step or is capable to get back to where he was before he got injured i guess.

Not a fan of the Yotes...
was rooting for Smashville in that series...but doesn't look good.

Either way, LA is going to the Cup.

I kinda wish for LA vs Wash..... who would have predicted THAT?

I think the cup will be in the East, no matter who comes out of it.

Exactly what I think.

I don't expect him to be the dominant player he once was.... but surely he can still be alot more effective than Kaberle.

Hmmm, yeah... Was looking at the Callaway RAZR Hawk, which is currently on sale at Golf Town close to my place. $298.88




Edit: what's the deal with all the screws on the Taylormade??!

I'm not a great golfer... far from it.
- Pecafan Fan

Tried it last week, there are some weights whether you hook or slice, in order to counter-weight it. And the screw could be to change the angle of the club.

I still think he is done.

trade him for something.
- Habssuperfan77

You know how unsuccessful you are with this.

- Scabeh

yeah seriously. That's crazy.

- Habssuperfan77

Until he proves he is capable of being the player he once was, he is Kaberlol like worth in trade proposals and likely even less.

meh, I'm more like 30/70 since calling the Bergy signing.
I will increase that % when they name Crawford as coach.

Ah yes..... those were the days!

Honestly not sure he is the right guy to coach the habs.

has anyone answered the question, when the last time an 8th seed won the Cup?
- Habssuperfan77

Never.

*very interested in seeing how DD plays/progresses this year*

*even more interested in seeing how Gallagher does in training camp and in the pre-season*

At this point, I'm wondering if they should trade that pick.
- Pecafan Fan

For what? I think it's best they draft the best available prospect in their opinion, and add him to the mix than trading the pick away for a good player that will be here for 2-3 years and leave.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Gallagher make the team out of camp.

But some time in Hamilton wouldn't be bad for him at all.

It seems like a very odd predicament indeed, not sure what which would be worse really, him at the leafs draft table or Montreal's. I get the feeling that he is going to be asked by Burke to be at neither. I don't remember anything quite like this ever happening exec wise. The fact that it is between the habs and the leafs will magnify it to something outta nothing x 1000. Was funny reading leaf fans calling the habs classless because of them wanting to hire a leaf exec, how it should be or is borderline illegal, considering the habs have lost more than their fair share of coaches and execs the last few years to this.
- Prolific_Scorer

didn't the habs just hire another team's exec as GM a week ago?

And if they trade the pick + for Huberdeau? Is it worth it then?

Yeah, only Hawk fans didn't cry about it.

- Prolific_Scorer

Of course...I doubt Tallon would be interested...and it also depends on what exactly "+" is.

Never.
- mr.peanut

Pretty sure that no team lower than 5th in their conference has ever won the Cup.

Yeah, only Hawk fans didn't cry about it.
- Prolific_Scorer

They're still upset about the Bettman Coyotes.

Finally someone with the answer to my question...

Because the Leafs have a fleet of executives and lost the only one that matters.
