lol, it's funny how when you are wrong, you don't admit to it, you try to change the argument so as to make it seem like you were right the whole time. Your argument had nothing to do with playoffs, it had to do with the fact that if our top 2 lines do not score 180 goals we will have a .500 record, I proved you wrong and you jump to the playoffs? Let's look at LA then, as John pointed out they only scored 188 goals last season, which was 2.29 g/g, yet they won the stanley cup, they couldn't score all year long, but they managed to win the cup after getting a "sub .500" record

i think emmerton will be scratched before andersson, so helm will center the third line while andersson centers the 4th

lol old injury or new one, he injures himself while healing from an injury, or you could just take a guess at which one of his many old injuries it could be lol. Either way he is sucking the life out of our cap space

2011-2012, 2.92 g/g = 239 goals scored over the season. now lets look at our top two lines last year Zetterberg 22 Franzen 29 Datsyuk 19 Filppula 23 Hudler 25 Bertuzzi 14 that brings the grand total to *drum roll* ~ 132 So your point about being sub .500 if your top two lines don't score 180 goals is ridiculous, considering our top two lines got 132 goals and we were 7th in the league in scoring, and 9th overall in the league in points with 102, with a point % of .662, not sub .500

possibly 4-6 games? That is certainly great news!!! We miss you badly Helmer, but you better not come back unless you are %100, can't afford to lose you after 2 games if you rush back too early

That is great, now how do you propose we get all 4 of them, let alone keep them in our lineup at the end of this year/next year when their contracts are up and demand raises?

Andersson does not have speed, and Zetterberg is a much better center then flip is, so I would keep Z at center and flip on the wing. and those top two lines can easily produce 120+ goals

Yes, fire the man who managed to keep us playoff contenders when kenny was unable to secure a top pairing dman, or a power forward... I don't like the cleary-pasha-abby line, but you have to admit babs has done a good job coaching our young roster

Omark and Brunner have good chemistry though, it would be interesting to see if Brunner and Omark could play well together in NA too, could you imagine if he could play well here with Brunner, the line of Omark-Z-Brunner would be awesome, then Filppula-pasha-perry (assuming Holland trades franzen, and a prospect for perry)

With Helm, Flip, and Sammy returning shortly he will have to be sent down anyways, they probably want someone responsible defensively playing alongside datsyuk until flip and sammy come back, because helm will be back soon too and centering the third line again, and then cleary will be on his wing unfortunately

so what you're saying is, and correct me if I am wrong here, that Tatar who has 8 points in 27 nhl games, 7 points in 18 games this season is worth more then Perry who has 214 goals and 453 points in 554 nhl games? right now perry is a ppg, and two years ago he had 50 goals and 98 points, if you think Tatar is worth more then that there is something wrong. I personally wouldn't be opposed to giving up Tatar, Andersson, and a first rounder for perry, he is only 27 and would be amazing on pasha's line

I really hope it's Xavier Ouellet, so we can call our d-corps the x-men

I personally believe this is more of a move to bring nyquist into the top 6 cause he is better defensively and drop cleary/abby down to the 3/4 line

do you purposely leave franzen and filppula out? franzen is a borderline 30 goal scorer every year, and filppula is one of our most accurate shots, he just needs to shoot more.

get him and quincey out and you free up 6.5 million in cap space, and it wouldn't hurt our defense any either.

was the answer dipietro?

their ability to overcome all the controversy surrounding the d-corps following Lidstrom's retirement, and my smile proving most LGW fans wrong, as I said from before the season started they will finish top 4 in the conference, and so far I have been right

not if Holland fulfills your every wish and trades flip before the deadline

why it's good for a few laughs lol

now he is lmao, at the start of the season he was still on the nhl roster lol Either way, most overpaid ice girl. I would have no problem being the laughing stock of the nhl and ahl for the money he gets lol

when was the last time a player scored 80+ goals in a season? not since the gretzky era, so your when he doesn't score I mind it logic is nonsense. By that logic Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Filppula, and Brunner are being overpayed because they don't get goals every night...

Rinne*

Hot line tonight, keep an eye out for abby to net at least 4 goals, cleary will have 12 breakaways with that great speed of his netting 6 of them, and datsyuk scores from the megatron

yeah, wouldn't want to mess with that super effective second line of cleary-dats-abby

Because they were not reported does not mean they did not occur. Many, and I mean many retired players have gone on record saying they played through these injuries. Hell, Mickey talks about it all the time while he commentates the games, with medicine the way it is now, and the internet we are more informed about these injuries then ever before, especially the long term effects, so players are now taking the proper precautions, but that doesn't mean we should turn hockey into figure skating
