    ECSF : (4) Washington Capitals vs. (1) New York Rangers

    When did the Capitals play against Real Madrid?

    Kronwall

    Can we all just agree that he's been underwhelming in the postseason the last few seasons? Fenwick and Corsi sounds like a defensive pairing actually.

    WCSF : (8) Calgary Flames vs. (1) Anaheim Ducks

    I doubt it.

    ECSF : (4) Washington Capitals vs. (1) New York Rangers

    The Capitals came into the NHL in 1974. If I'm not mistaken, they've only been to the Conference Finals one time in their 40+ year history. Pathetic.

    Where did the Capitals get all these right handed shots? Holland has been looking for these guys for years.

    ECSF : (4) Washington Capitals vs. (1) New York Rangers

    So much parity now in the playoffs, that being up 3-0 or 3-1 in a series doesn't mean anything anymore.

    Kronwall

    A poll on this forum, maybe. How about a poll of forums around the league? That would be more unbiased.

    ECSF : (4) Washington Capitals vs. (1) New York Rangers

    The Capitals have a terrible playoff history. That has to be on their fans' minds right now.

    Dominic Turgeon signs 3 year Entry Level Contract

    If you want to play this game, you have to learn how to spell his name right.

    Kronwall

    So do 30 teams have a #1 center? Is Abdelkader a #1 winger?
  11. GMRwings1983

    Kronwall

    He needs to play like he's a top defenseman. Especially in the playoffs. And we didn't really need another thread on this, imo.

    Any chance we can get Domi's son?

    Babcock granted permission to talk to other teams

    How would Hitchcock fare in Detroit? Or is Blashill definitely the coach if Babcock leaves?

    There is no Presidents' Trophy Curse

    In all fairness, in 2004 and 2006, we lost to teams that came very, very close to winning the Cup that season. So it's not like we were the only ones that got beat by that team. Same thing in 2003, although we fell just short of the Presidents' Trophy. You're not guaranteed a Cup by winning the Presidents' Trophy, but being a one seed is more likely to result in a Cup win than any other seed.

    ECSF: Tampa Bay Crying Coopers vs. Montreal Complaining Canadiens

    You mean playing your 4th line over your top lines in key moments isn't a good idea?

    Babcock granted permission to talk to other teams

    It all depends on how "he" views our kids. Whether you're excited about them or I'm not is irrelevant. Babcock will have to decide whether he wants to coach young established stars or guys who may/may not become stars. Somehow, I don't think our roster fits this description. Besides, a coach of his caliber likes challenges. The challenge will likely be to win elsewhere than to attempt to bring this team back to prominence.

    Babcock granted permission to talk to other teams

    Yeah right. It's like banging the same girl. You get tired after a while and want a new one. Not sure why he'd want to stay.

    ECSF : (4) Washington Capitals vs. (1) New York Rangers

    Not just that. You could make an argument he's a top 5 winger if he retires tomorrow. 1. Howe 2. Richard/Hull 3. Hull/Richard 4. Jagr 5. ???????????? I can see Lafleur, Bossy or Ovechkin being in that 5 spot. Some would put Bill Cook or Sergei Makarov in that spot as well.

    Babcock granted permission to talk to other teams

    Are any teams allowed to talk to him or just those with vacancies? If it's the latter, it's not a very long list.

    At What Point Does Holland Deserve Blame?

    That's a scary thought, but that's likely the correct answer.

    WCSF : (6) Minnesota Wild vs. (5) Chicago Blackhawks

    Problem is, Chicago has that in spades. The way the new playoff format works, Minnesota, Nashville and St. Louis will need to figure out how to get past Chicago if they even want to make it to the WCF. Aren't there usually twice as many people in such photographs in real life? EA Sports

    ECSF: Tampa Bay Crying Coopers vs. Montreal Complaining Canadiens

    The NHL is stupid enough to flirt with an Anaheim vs. Tampa Bay final. A league that truly could care less about ratings.

    ECSF: Tampa Bay Crying Coopers vs. Montreal Complaining Canadiens

    As I said in previous pages, how do you know Montreal would have been an easy way out? We don't score goals like Tampa Bay can. And we didn't own Montreal and Price the way Tampa Bay did in the regular season. Other way around, in fact. I just wanted to watch two more weeks of playoff hockey and witness an original 6 matchup. That's what I'm most butt hurt about.

    ECSF: Tampa Bay Crying Coopers vs. Montreal Complaining Canadiens

    I'd love to see Brian McGrattan do unpleasant things to that punk in a closet.

    Does Philly still want Dan Cleary or has that ship sailed?
