I feel the need for stupid speed!

Come mister Tallon man, Tallon man banana....Toews and Kane come and the Cup then go home. 1 cup, 2 cup, 3 Cups won! Keith and Seabrook come and the Cup then go home.

How does a player acquire stupid speed? Does a team pay more for this? Can young players go to stupid speed schools in the summer?

Thornton has stated repeatedly that he has zero interest in leaving San Jose. He has a full no trade clause. He will retire a Shark.

I still recall years ago watching the Red Wings players making fun of Holmstrom for making a speech at the rookie dinner. Lidstrom tells everyone Holmstrom bought a new shirt just for the dinner and it makes it even funnier. Lol

Maybe not. He may actually get some playing time with the Leafs. Plus he's from Toronto. He could go to the Leafs and if he plays well, he could be flipped at the trade deadline for a draft pick.

Lindstrom, Yserman and Federov. I miss them all.

I can see a Phaneuf for Weiss, Smith and a 1st trade happening at the draft.

Miggy hit a bomb off Kluber the other day at Comerica. That was exciting. I miss hockey already. Lol

He likes to slash quite a bit.

Subtle Interference.

Well if he doesn't score 50 goals when he comes to Grand Rapids, he should be traded immediately for Dion Phaneuf. I heard Kenny is willing to trade him. Lol

I don't see Ouelette or Marchenko as any more than 3rd pair guys. There's nothing wrong with that. But to be a legit cup contender we need 2 legit top 4 dmen. Kronner and Dekeyser are here. But they need help. We need to upgrade like the isles did with Leddy and Boychuk. I know. Easier said than done. But this is what we need.

There is no question we need 2 legit top 4 dmen to take the next step. Who these 2 dmen are? I don't know. If Ericsson is on your top pairing then your defense needs an upgrade. I actually like Ericsson. Just not in the top pairing.

He can always wear number 69. Lol

Aw man. I love Kronner. But seriously? He does not compare to Hedman now. Maybe a few years ago. But watching these playoffs has made me realize that Hedman is one of the best dmen in the league. Kronner is the perfect #2 guy. Hedman is elite and is only improving. Sometimes I think you just like to be different just for the sake of being different. If you truly believe that Kronner is just as good or better than Hedman, that is your right. I can't really say anything more. I will agree with you on one thing though. Kronner is still very underrated.

Yes. But Tampa has what we don't have. A stud horse dman in his prime. Viktor Hedman. They can get away with having 2nd pair ponies to surround the stud horse. We used to have such a stud horse in Lidstrom. We even paired him with a Clydesdale in Ian White. He was that awesome. We need a horse. Stud horses are not available. So we need to trade for a horse. Who can this be? I still say Buff. Cuz he's got the stuff.

I thought this is what Damien Cox said Kenny was trading for Phaneuf. It was on the hotstove so it must be true.

We can get Buff. Remember...Wayne Gretzky was Traded! Why kr? He's Buff and he's got the stuff.

Yes! The age old justification for any player is available! Wayne Gretzky was traded. Anyone can be traded! I kept waiting for Mario Lemieux, Steve Yzerman, Joe Sakic to be traded. But it never happened. But they could have been traded by dammit! Why? Because....drum roll....Wayne Gretzky was traded so anyone can be traded!

What would it take to get Buff? He's Buff and he's got the stuff.

Caps are willing to trade Ovechkin. Pens willing to trade Crosby. hawks willing to trade Toews. Hi I'm Damien Cox. Look at my bald head for more bs rumours.

Its true because you say it is? Great logic. Lol I get that you're jealous of the Hawks. But it's ridiculous how you can attribute their success to luck and facing so called backup goalies. Bias can paint an ugly picture sometimes.

Even that wouldn't get it done. A blue chip defenseman prospect would have to be in any OEL trade. Coyotes will not deal him anyway. I'm psychic. Lol

I hope Tampa wins. But I think Chicago ends it in Game 6.
