Because players need to get their timing back. And this was just a fluke, it happens. No big deal.

Go Wings go! Beat those frenchies! :octo:

Skill of course. We already have the World's greatest enforcer - Andreas "Pain Train" Lilja.

wow that's just awesome!

Conklin easily.

Phaneuf was finalist this year so..yeah.

Burkie could not even get a pick for him? LOL

Gretzky is average coach at best. Babcock is the best Canadian coach.

Roy would have no Cups or Conn Smythes if he played for bad teams. Hasek played for poor teams yet he managed to post better numbers than Roy. Vezina is given to the player mainly based on statistics, playing for bad team is no advantage. Yeah in 20's or 30's maybe. Soviet players easiy beat NHL all stars many times. Not to mention 'what ifs' are irrelevant. Canada had the best team on paper in Nagano 98 or Torino 06..guess who won it all? Euros.

Hasek was considered the best goalie in Europe, it just took time before GMs in the NHL realized his potential. Hasek, at the age of 16 was already playing in highest czechoslovakian hockey league. And he won the title too.

In that case Roy was good goalie (probably better than good), but he is overrated and his Conn Smythe trophies are flukes.

Yeah. Hasek is the best in my book too. Roy is 2nd, Plante 3rd

I'd rather have Franzen for 3-4 million than Hossa for 7+. That's for sure.

Good for Habs, they have pretty good 3 lines now.

Is Gordie coming back too?

No, it would not.

Yeah I agree. $7.2 million would be a steal. Hank could easily get 8.5-9 million a year if he decided to test the market.

Fair deal. Staal is awesome player

That's just not right.
