Bruins - MILAN LUCIC Sabres - Pat LaFontaine (know his brother, great family) Canadiens - Sakku Senators - Yashin, thought he was great when i was younger Leafs - Wendel Clark Devils - Parise Isles - Palffy haha idk Rangers - Leetch Flyers - Leclaire Penguins - Ron Francis Thrashers - Kovalchuk Hurricanes - Irbe Panthers - Vanbiesbrouck Lightning - Vinny Capitals - Adam Oates Flames - Al MacInnis Avalanche - Alex Tanguay Oilers - Gagner Wild - Mikko Canucks - Bure, no doubt Blackhawks - Amonte Blue Jackets - Nash Red Wings - way too many to try and decide on one Predators - idk, i guess weber Blues - Hull Ducks - Kariya Stars - Modano Kings - Wayne Coyotes - J.R. Sharks - Nolan There were many teams where i wanted to use a player again but i tried to use each player once and what team i'll always remember them with. Except J.r. i'll remember him with chicago but i need someone for phx haha

so what you are saying is that two players with on avg 100 pts a year for five years wouldn't make it in? Plus one of those guys having 4 50(+) goal seasons wouldn't get in? A calder trophy winner with two Hart trophies 4 (i think) all star game appearences wouldn't get in? Ovechkin is 4 games shy of 400 and has over a pt a game. There is no way he'd be denied if he had a career ending injury

During the 2008-09 season the wings were giving out flags with players on them. I was just wondering if anyone knows how many they gave out, in terms of how many different players. I have a hossa one and have a zetterberg one on the way. Any help would be great. Also, there are 2 verisons at leaast of the Hockeytown song. I'm looking for the older one. If anyone knows where to find it please let me know. This is the song that I'm looking for, obviously without the ken daniels and company

Thanks man, sending an email in just a sec.

i have a serial numbered mario lemiuex card from the Q

Everyone knows that Bettman feels like now its a 50-50 chance for crosby to make it back to the finals... lol

Carlos, where's Doug?

Seems like someone else is the biggest idiot "in the league" http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=324366 Love it Edit: Link should be fixed

dion phaneuf, patrick kane, does it really surprise you that they'd go two hawks in a row? ***

Beat me to it

So is there a cap in the AHL? Like what happens if they waive Huet to put him in the minors, there is no cap hit on the Hawks right? And i highly doubt anyone is gonna pick up his 5 million dollar contract? So how does that work? It seems like a logical way to free up a good portion of money to sign some cheap people while not having to dump as much.

That was sweet

haha crazy

First: what is the name of the play by play in that cuz i really like him. Second: I hate the blackhawks and i hate byfuglien, i hope pronger knocks the s*** out of him next game

i don't know that anyone was saying that philly should be where they are now, but once they got to the finals i knew they had a good chance. A lot of ppl thought that chicago was going to dominate, but philly has a great team. Plus, it's the sport of hockey, where any team can win any given night. Here's to hoping this year's finals ends up going the same way last years did.

I love Ken and Mickey, and i agree with the pierre mcguire thing. It's fun hearing him point out the absolute obvious facts. I didn't enjoy some of the coverage ppl that vs has. Mastadonic pad save! I also miss Gary Thorne.

Perfectly stated. Go Philly!

Ok well they are great right now. Both consistent. We aren't talking about the prime of each player's career. We are talk about RIGHT NOW. AO was consistent in the playoffs. 10 pts, 5 g 5a in 7 games with a +5, which happened to be 2 behind nick in 5 less games. And last time i checked this wasn't a head to head arguement. He asked who was more consistent and idk if you watched hockey this year but crosby was his usually self, plus he scored more goals, while lidstrom struggled to be a top defenseman. Plus yet again we weren't talking positonal. We were talking about who is more consistent since Nick is supposedly th emost consistent player. But yes Drew Doughty was more consistent along with chris progner, mike green.

Well the wings sure screwed holmstrom then. Easily Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby.

2006/07 Nick Lidstrom +/- 40, 2007/08 +/- 40, 2008/09 +/-31, 2009/2010 +/- 22 say whatever you want about a depleted roster, but when you are the best defenseman youre +/- shouldn't drop 20 in two years or even almost 10 in one year. What does the longevity of Draper being in the franchise have to do with the fact that their are 3 better players on the team whose contracts are up and going by your logic should make more money than players who aren't as good as they are. There are much more consitent players out there now. Three years ago you could say this, but today you can't. Did you watch the playoffs at all? Nick was exposed. Yes he is still good but he is not the most consistent player out there. Unless you are talking only Red Wings in which case you may have an arguement. But even then it's gonna be an arguement.

I love it. Pronger is doing exactly what he needs to do to get under their skin. As much as i hate pronger when the wings, he is a phenomonal player. Hopefully the Flyers win the next two at home and make it a series Pronger wouldn't/can't waste his time dropping the gloves in this series. He has to play against some of the top players in the league and if he has to sit for 5 minutes in the box than he is just setting his team up for failure.

Wayne Gretzky so again his declining +/- had absolutely nothing to do with it. I guarentee you if the team was healthy his +/- would have dropped from the year before. This is just another excuse. I said THE best, not one of the best. THE best. that can only be one player. Now that i think about it idk if i would say nick was top 5 last year. I think he can be, but he's gotta step up. and bring on the "who would you rather have" because last year there are plenty i would rather have had, but this year i'm glad we got nick. It's a new year and hopefully he proves all us who think he should've come for less wrong. My point is Eaves/helm/abdelkader shouldn't have to make less than a guy like draper (who also has a ntc) whe they play so much better. IF. last year he did not play at that level so how can management expect to pay him that kind of money if it's unknown whether or not he'll be worth it. No one said he was. There are ppl who think he deserves it tho and that is just stupid. I wasn't sayin that we have to find a new goaltender. I was just saying that just because he played well last season doesn't mean he'll be equally as good this year. But i'm also not saying he won't be better. Because who knows. I just hope he's been workingon his five hole lol.

Over the past 4 years his +/- has been dropping, who's to say he doesn't break even next year? Don't get me wrong i still think he is great, but i would much rather him take a little bit less. between 5-6 million would be my range. Thus proving my point that he is no longer the top defenseman in the league. did i say he wasn't top 5? no, i clearly said he is no longer the best. So clearly we should resign Helm, Eaves, and Abdelkader at 1.5 million because that's what draper makes and they are all better than him. I didn't say he was overpaid. I'm saying he needs to perform at that kind of level to prove that signing him to that much money this late in his career is worth it. Agree. I wouldn't go above 6 million tho personally. But he IS NOT a league maximum player anymore. I'm glad we resigned him, but i just wish it was for a little bit less so we'd have some more wiggle room if that right free agent was there or a good deal at the deadline. And I do think Nick is still good, but he's obviously declining as we all saw in the playoffs. Hopefully the long summer will help him out.
