Wasting your time.....Vokoun played a near perfect game last night. To think Fleury would have been a part of a different outcome is ridiculous. Some people equate blind loyalty to being a fan. It is like a parent who wont believe their kid did something wrong even when showed surveillance footage of said kid shoplifting/fighting/etc.

I was really surprised when I heard the Penguins were starting Vokoun...he played a spectacular game though

Funny, the poll won't accept "0" as an answer. I tried repeatedly to get the poll set with "0" as an answer but it wouldn't let me.

Changed the 0 to the letter "o" -- that works.

Ahhh thank you for the clarification. For the record I voted 1 anyways.... as I stated from the start Bs in 5

I don't know if this was discussed already, but did you guys see the tweet that said Malkin could get 15M tax free in the K

Not saying he leaves, but that's a scary thought

- RickJames77


Isn't this obvious? Take any star from the NHL and they're salary doubles over there. They just have to be satisfied playing in a much lesser league against lukewarm talent in substandard facilities (by North American standards anyway). Plus...there's that flying around the country on Russian maintained aircraft issue.....no thanks.

I actually thought the Pens had it. I counted AT LEAST 5 posts they hit last night.

Yeah scary thought indeed. I flew on Aeroflot about 5 years ago and it felt like I was getting slingshotted across the Atlantic

Malkin

Edler, Kesler, Gaunce, 1st rounder, 2nd rounder

The Pens have no 1st or 2nd round pick this year, and no 2nd round pick next year. Gotta think that moving Letang can help fill that void.
- rival22



The haul from last year though, the additional 1st rounder and Doumolin from Carolina, make the loss of the pics this year a little easier to absorb.

They seem to fall out of the sky a little more frequently over there. I'd say pay me 14 mil and I bring my own crew of mechanics.

If I'm Shero I hang up the phone when I hear the name Malkin then block that guys number in perpetuity.

You should start with Letang...

That could work, but I don't know if you want Kesler's injuries.

MAF

Campbell, DAL 2013 1st, DAL 2013 2nd

Im not so sure I want Malkin's injuries, or the fact he doesnt win faceoffs and his position is centre

But we'd save Malkin's $9-$10 million cap hit...

oh, and pick up $14.50 mil in more salary.

That's pretty terrible. Maybe one of the worst proposals ever. Malkin and Letang/Nisk for Statsny and Johnson??????

at least the only question is whether or not Malkin would remain healthy enough for the Avs to benefit from the deal.....

Plus he realizes that picks/prospects MIGHT be needed to even things out. Like say, Colorado's 1st for the next 153 years.
