    WCQF : Chicago Blackhawks vs. St. Louis Blues

    I dunno how even Hawks fans haven't wanted to go up and bash in the sound booth everytime they hear that damn song.

    WCQF : Chicago Blackhawks vs. St. Louis Blues

    I really thought they'd win Game 5 in that first OT. They had tons of chances and were flying, carried the play for most of it, but of course Kane had the puck when their D broke down and it was in the net.

    WCQF : Chicago Blackhawks vs. St. Louis Blues

    Yeah true. Unless they face Holtby in the Finals. Jones is playing well for SJ, but the Hawks would light him up if given the chance.

    WCQF : Chicago Blackhawks vs. St. Louis Blues

    Almost 5-3. Off the crossbar.

    Fixing this mess....

    And Hossa wasn't even a guy Holland went after. Hossa's agent contacted Holland and of course he signed him. edit- Just saw your post above after I posted this. lol

    WCQF : Chicago Blackhawks vs. St. Louis Blues

    Brian. Elliott. He's just not good enough to hold the Hawks off when they get going. Does Crawford get winded every game or is it just me?

    WCQF : Chicago Blackhawks vs. St. Louis Blues

    Are you ******* serious??? Up 3-1 in the series..let the Hawks back in...up 3-1 in another elimination game..blow it and give them the lead. They're gonna choke again. Thanks for making these playoffs suck even harder Blues.

    Potentially new GMs

    No argument concerning Holland's past contributions and successes, but since 2009 it's been a steady decline, and it's getting even worse now that Z, Dats, and Kronner are all in the twilight of their careers, Mike Babcock skipped town, other staff have left, he hasn't been able to sign any significant free agents, hasn't gotten lucky in the draft, has traded assets for broken down vets at the deadline who end up doing nothing to help, etc. It's time for him to move on.

    WCQF : Chicago Blackhawks vs. St. Louis Blues

    s***!!! Cue the annoying goal song....

    WCQF : Minnesota Wild vs. Dallas Stars

    He did pretty good in San Jose, but ya, nothing special. Lehtonen isn't all that great either though. He came into the league with alot of hype. Drafted second overall and should have been s star franchise goalie, but never lived up to it.

    WCQF : Minnesota Wild vs. Dallas Stars

    Yeah, one of my fave players for sure.
  12. Ya, I need the Paypal address as well. $6 US converts to $7.60 CDN, so i'll make it an even $10 CDN.

    Official 2016 Detroit Red Wings Offseason Thread

    Yep. But Illitch should have told him if he didn't want to move up, then GTFO. I doubt he regrets not doing something like that, because Holland is still around when clearly it's time for him to go, but I don't see how he can't be thinking about it. That and Nill turning the Stars into the highest scoring team in the NHL, and a cup contender, or at very least almost there. I know many of us think about it.

    WCQF : Chicago Blackhawks vs. St. Louis Blues

    3-1 Blues, but it's only the first. Chicago could turn this around before the end of the period, but I hope tonight's the night.

    WCQF : San Jose Sharks vs. Los Angeles Kings

    Kings defeated by the goalie they let go. Sharks closing it out in 5 against them is impressive. This might be the year they don't choke...

    ECQF : New York Rangers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

    Regular season success? I do feel bad for the guy though. Sure, he wasn't very good in this first round series, but in past years, it didn't matter how well he played, the team couldn't get it done in front of him. He'll be 35 by next season's playoffs, so the door is closing slowly for him to get his cup.

    Official 2016 Detroit Red Wings Offseason Thread

    I def agree, thought it was pretty stupid as well, especially at this point with the team in transition. Can't give up desperately needed major assets for one year of cap relief. A 7+ million ghost contract is very worthwhile to a team needing to absorb cap.

    WCQF : San Jose Sharks vs. Los Angeles Kings

    Sharks already up 2-0. Series could be over tonight.

    Official 2016 Detroit Red Wings Offseason Thread

    I was just reading that some insiders are saying if Dats doesn't play next season and Holland does find a team to move the contract to, they'll most likely want a major asset like a first rounder along with it. So should the Wings just absorb the cap hit for the one season, or possibly lose assets to get rid of it?
  20. Datsyuk about his current health after last night's game: Gonna miss those comments.

    M1. Washington Caps vs W2. Philadelphia Flyers

    Theres the dagger in this one, Philly back in it with a shutout win. Wow Caps. lol Who woulda though Neuvirth would come in and win two games, one by shutout. Good job!

    M1. Washington Caps vs W2. Philadelphia Flyers

    Just turned to game on. Can't believe it's this close and Philly is on the verge of getting back into the series. Yep. Looked like a sweep, but now the history of choking is starting to rear it's head.
