Some people don't know when to quit.

He was born in Minneapolis but moved to Faribault in 89. Look it up. Meaning he wasnt born and raised in Minneapolis. Drives me insane when people say oh he's from wherever when they dont have a ******* clue where he's from and are going just by assumption.

even though he is really old he is really competitive, imagine you had a floater on your team cough Fr -cough-ranzin... and you have Dom backing up that night and your lazy ass shift is over and you skate back to the bench and then you get ripped in half by Hasek. All the guy ever wanted to do was win, theres nothing wrong with a guy like that on your team.

Cam Ward is a far better goalie than Niemi is.

For 24/7 purposes alone, I hope this happens!

Seriously, did anyone think this was possible a few months ago? What a story they've become.

Final game tonight, London v. Shawinigan, 7PM EDT on Rogers Sportsnet, RDS, streaming online from the website and on the NHL Network, as well as both radio coverage and online on The Fan 590 (Toronto) and Newstalk 1290 CJBK (London). Go Knights Go!

Agreed. Our near future is certain... elite talent willing to give it their all to retain their status as 'top-dog' after two 2nd round and one 1st round exit. Long-term future, lots of you seem to doubt our organization. We have been going strong for 20 years now, and yes every good thing comes to an end, but why would you think now? There's no real concrete evidence IMO. We went from 02 to 08 with nothing, and I bet the same crap was being spewed about Detroit's dynasty 'about to fall' then!

I'm not talking about pinning the whole organization on two guys. I'm just saying that it makes no sense to say that our future is any less certain than any other team and that it would have an effect on those guys wanting to be in Detroit.

The only place they are ranked higher is in old, non-updated articles. I said that on another thread too. P.S. I don't feel like going to find it. I believe it's either on the early part of this thread or another thread that got heavy into the prospect situation.

Overestimating the potential and talent of our prospects. And I wrote a huge comment regarding my opinion on all our prospects and what I think of them and why. Feel free to dig it up. It took forever so I'm not going to type it out again though.

I tried to take in what you just said here but I totally got sidetracked by the aliens. Aliens. aliens...

Would it really be worse than the Conklin situation this season?

Get er done Kenny!

Depends on the definition of elite but I think we have at least three guys with potential to be top notch guys. Smith, Nyquist and Jarnkrok. Smith will have that star status because of his play style, and will be come a fan favourite. He'll snipe on the PP than turn around next shift lay a guy out and beat the s*** out of that guys team mate trying to defend him.

Ya'll guys can get back at the islander fans and JT,by voting for pekka,Please vote for him Can't let a east player be on the cover

Haha... Talk about overestimating. What world do you live in? Try and be objective.

I want them to win because: 1. I don't like the way the Rangers have been playing and giving the "Who? Me?" faces on the ice and after the game. 2. NJ winning the Cup would probably place their names in with the Wings as the "Best team in the past 20 years" as they would have 4 Cups in that amount of time and we all know that they have been mediocre at best a few of those seasons. 3. Parise won't leave if they win.

Didn't you know that unless every player on the farm is comparable to Ovechkin or Stamkos then they're terrible and should immediately be waived and replaced via free agency? Wait, you knew that right? For example: Tatar isn't Datsyuk so he's worthless. In the minds of the simple that's pretty much exactly how it works on this forum. Good luck in your future endeavors, but please, don't be optimistic or else you'll be considered a self diluted homer with no real hockey sense and only a messianic faith in Ken Holland.

I'm bumping this thread for the lulz. First-round exit!

Ask, and ye shall receive.

I question the credibility of this list.

Improve? Yes. But you can't pin the stability of an organizations future on two FA's who may or may not sign

Looks like their team is improving each and every year. I can track back to three years ago when their third line center was Wellwood and they just traded for Boyle. Pavelski was youngser back then. Next year Couture emerged and they signed Malhotra. Still no Cup. Now they have excellent three-centers punch in Thornton, Couture, Pavelski and they just signed big body Handzus. In addition to that they traded for Burns, signed him, and signed White as well. I see then way better than they were last year. Personally, I think there is no way for us to get past them in the play-offs with Helm and Abdelkader as 3rd and 4th line centers. So, the actual question. Does someone see them as champions next year? To be honest, I do. I wouldn't bet a dime if we meet them in the play-offs.

This may be a bit extreme but if Holland signs Hasek as a Back-up or any other roster spot on this team I'll officialy call for Holland's Head on a Platter for examination.
