    So who are the top RHed Dmen?

    I'd like a solid right handed veteran defenceman who can play above average in most situation. Doesn't have to be flashy just reliable. We were 16th despite the fact Howard had one of his worst years to date. Considering that and the room for growth for many of our defencemen, it's not as dire as it may seem. That is not the Devils model. They also have smallish undersized offensive defencemen just like most teams. ie. Zidlicky, Greene.

    Next Seasons Needs/Team Future

    Well that's just plain wrong.. Conroy, Staios, Morrison and Langkow were all older than Kipper and Iginla, Jokinen, Sarich, Tanguay, and Regehr (among others) are right around the same age. Their core was not "young".

    Would You Trade For Matt Greene's Rights?

    This... San Jose is absolutely skating circles around LA and Greene's severe lack of foot speed is the main reason he hasn't played much. He's worn down a lot over the recent years and would struggle to fill anything more than a 6/7th spot in the upcoming season.

    Playoff playlist - song recommendations

    I'm not much of a fan of rap but Eminem does have some pretty damn good pump up/motivation songs and is obviously from Detroit.

    I can't imagine The Mighty Mighty Bosstones would have any "pump up" music lol Now if you were to say the Dropkick Murphys...

    Maple Leafs Name Shanahan New Club President

    Can't blame the guy for wanting to go home to Toronto.

    Apparently it can get worse in Vancouver.

    Well that's that. Bye bye Gillis.

    Next Seasons Needs/Team Future

    Figured I'd put this here. I think there's already far far too many new threads being started for needless things. Really junking up the main forum. /End rant. Athanasiou with another amazing move. This time in a playoff game when down 4-0. Hence why there's no celebration. http://youtu.be/YxUG3M_b0-E

    Lightning sign GM Yzerman to contract extension

    Devellano essentially did that and already occupies that position. He is around 70 though and I could see Holland eventually take his position.

    4/2 GDT - Bruins 2 at Red Wings 3

    Big game. 4-1 Wings. LGW! On a side note....the Islanders have a Nilsson, a Nielsen and a Nelson in their lineup tonight. lol

    Ovechkin and ES

    It's not even about being a complete 2-way player. It's about just giving a damn... Check out the video in the link on my previous post from the 24sec mark on. It's just a joke when your team is fighting for a playoff spot.

    What is everyones second favorite team?

    I've got a soft spot for the Flames. Dated one of Harley Hotchkiss's granddaughters for a long time. Met a lot of the players and saw them play a lot. Good people in that organization.

    Ovechkin and ES

    Another pathetic backcheck from Ovi that leads directly to a goal. It's not like they're fighting for a playoff spot or anything...
  17. Douglas Murray has a suspension coming. Just headshotted Kostka pretty bad with an elbow.

    Dive of the Year

    Looked like a head shot to me...expect a ruling from Shanny soon.
  19. Wasn't sure where to put this and didn't want to start a new thread. 14min interview with Babcock. Worth your time.

    Division titles have always been decided in the regular season. They're not going to change that.

    Ridiculous SO goal by Athanasiou

    Yup just happened this year. January I believe. Couple Canadians in a German league...

    Ridiculous SO goal by Athanasiou

    Creative goal for sure and I'm definitely high on Athanasiou but that's during a skills comp and it's clear the goalie isn't even trying... Nonetheless I can't wait for this kid to turn pro.

    Do Maple Leaf fans deserve better?

    Yeah...my better half is a hardcore Leafs fan (as is her entire family). I've learned well to bite my tongue...lol
