Doggy

You post implied he deserved the MVP based on our expectations of him not on whether or not he's been our best. He has been great but behind Lidstrom and Kronwall in my view.

I like the face on the equipment manager in the background. "This guy doesn't stop. f***."

I'm pretty sure MVP's go to a team's most valuable player. Just so you know.

Ellis.

Rebounds weren't an issue because Detroit didn't score off any. Not that I remember anyway. When facing a barrage of shots from a team like Detroit - no goalie should be worrying about rebounds. Because that's when they fail to stop the puck. End of story.

I think the streak would be for closing out series' with the first opportunity. So it's eleven. Regardless, as you said 11-0 over ten years for series winning games is an outstanding record.

Stuart is a quiet achiever. You don't notice the things he does. He's an extremely solid Dman. Like Lidstrom (but to that extent of course).

Ugh! Rebounds. His job was to stop the puck. He did that. Ellis giving up rebounds was not an issue for the Preds. The rest of the team was.

You're just like my mate. He's a Ducks fan. But only because of the movie - idiot. He annoys me though because he didn't even know who Teemu Selanne was until last year. He was pretty pissed at me when I was genuinely laughing with joy after the Stars won game 4. Anyway my point is GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS GO STARS!!!!!!

I want Avs. Flames would beat us probably.

I don't know if it's possible to sign him to one but I agree we should. He's a gun defenseman there's no doubt. He was excellent this series.

He's taken plenty of shots. The problem is most of them are too late.

14??? No, it's 13.

Wouldn't that make him third??

Sorry I don't want to be negative. I'm pleased we're through and I like this clubs chances but I can't get too excited about getting through the first round. As far as I'm concerned it's just not an achievement.

Awesome we've achieved more than Nashville. Bring on the ticker tape parade. The Wings have done okay but how much celebrating do you think Mike Babcock's doing?

I watched it. It was awesome. Sharks-Flames game 5 was better though.

I dunno - Detroit is yet to achieve anything. Hence, their lack of celebration.

I pried myself from my warm bed at 6.45am to say "Ellis! Ellis! You suck!" Feels good.

I didn't mean to be rude. I just wanted to hear what you had to say not that you had something to say. It's interesting hearing your POV as an Isles fan. Obviously, both Luongo and DiPietro have let you down but I must respectfully disagree with you. I think putting Rick or Roberto on a team like Detroit would take the pressure OFF them and they would flourish. I agree that Luongo isn't nearly competitive enough and your quote did sum him up. Pathetic attitude to have. Anyway thanks for your comments on the two - you've seen more of them than most.

Then do it.

He played two full season in Iowa that includes 06-07. I'm not sure why the NHLPA page wouldn't say that.

Brodeur's glory days are behind him? He'll win the Vezina again. Current goalies better than Osgood - Lundqvist, Brodeur, Luongo, DiPietro, Fleury, Giguere, Nabokov and Kiprusoff. I don't think any of these are arguable and then there are a bunch of others like Price, Thomas, Huet and more that are arguably better. Regardless, these are types of goalies that make more big saves than Ozzy. They don't need to be hall of famers. I love Ozzy - he's all class. But I'm not going to claim he's something that he's not. I'm not unhappy he's in net for us either because I believe he's good enough to get us to a Cup.

Jim Nill will do great wherever he does go. He deserves the position at a good hockey club.
