    Did the Hawks get a little lucky?

    Maybe that's what the league needs every year to have an exciting Finals and high ratings. Really s***ty goaltending from both sides. I thought it was fun to watch. Like a throwback to hockey when I first started watching in the early 90's. I can remember all kinds of soft goals going in during that infamous 1994 Finals between NYR/Van

    Leafs changing jersey; naming Phaneuf captain

    Well, I know Aki Berg has been the butt end of Leafs fans jokes for years. That guy was a wonder to watch, especially when he fought. I know Kukkonen because I like the way his name sounds. I'm actually becoming quite an expert on Finnish culture ever since I started watching Kaurismaki's movies. I may come visit you sometime. You and Mindfly on my Scandinavian voyage.

    2007-2008 team

    I remember there was a video here after the Finals, where each player on the team announced who their favorite player was growing up as a kid. That was a cool video and I haven't been able to find it since then.
  4. Somewhere in French Canada, Martin Lapointe is lifting weights and grooming his beard, wondering what happened to his career ever since he left Detroit. Although, he did get paid big bucks by Boston, so maybe it wasn't a total failure for him.
  5. Why don't we just put Hudler, Leino and Kopecky on the same line and make that our 4th line? We could call it the soft euro line.

    Leafs changing jersey; naming Phaneuf captain

    I always thought my boy Aki Berg was being groomed for Leaf captaincy, but sadly, they released him several years ago amidst rumors of subpar play.

    Did the Hawks get a little lucky?

    Thanks to Martin Erat they did get lucky. But after that, they were the best team in the playoffs. Hey, my troll is back. I missed you buddy.
  8. That lineup looks softer than butter. Leino's surge is partly from playing with a tougher lineup in Philly, and Kopecky could never play without his b/f Hossa.

    Do NHL Players Read Forums?

    I must break you -Andreas Lilja- I may have understated my involvement with LGW when I talked to you that day.

    I guess this means Kaberle isn't returning.

    Adam Burish: Chris Pronger Is The Biggest Idiot In The League

    Steve Leach is the worst fighter ever. Steve Webb isn't far behind. Russell would destroy either of those guys.

    Would you want Byfuglien?

    No.

    Tollefsen headed to Sweden

    Not a big deal. That Leino guy didn't turn into anything special, so we didn't lose much.

    Adam Burish: Chris Pronger Is The Biggest Idiot In The League

    Did he shake Pronger's hand in the line?

    Adam Burish: Chris Pronger Is The Biggest Idiot In The League

    Not that their website is always right, but if you go on dropyourgloves.com, you'll see that he loses just about all his fights.

    Tomas Kopecky

    Stay on topic guys, or I'll be forced to close this thread down.

    Ville Leino 1/3 of Philly's offensive unit

    Leino is a guy who only plays well in the playoffs, so we should have kept him. He finds the regular season to be quite boring and meaningless. It'd be us skating the Cup now and not Chicago.

    Bobby Ryan

    Filppula for Ryan. Just tried it for my NHL 2010 game. Didn't work.

    Adam Burish: Chris Pronger Is The Biggest Idiot In The League

    He might be the biggest punching bag in the league. Have you seen his fight record? He's worse than any of the players you've mentioned in those threads that you've started within the last week.

    Toews: Most undeserving Conn Smyth winner in history?

    I wonder how Toews feels about Tyler Kennedy's picture being used for his likeness.

    Early Predictions for next season....

    Doesn't sound like people are expecting much from the Hawks and Flyers.

    Next year's roster (Zherdev edition)

    Is Zherdev coming back to the NHL next year? I heard he had a bad year in the KHL and I know he wasn't on their Olympic roster. He doesn't seem like the kind of player we need just because his work ethic has been questioned before.

    Early Predictions for next season....

    Leafs and Kings in the Finals. Rematch of the 1993 WCF.

    Adam Burish: Chris Pronger Is The Biggest Idiot In The League

    There's a lot of people who think Adam Burish is an idiot too. Pronger would be a bigger idiot, but this is the pot calling the kettle black.

    Jeremy Roenick

    He was such a loudmouth prick, that I'm glad in a way that he never won the Cup.
