Niskaanen got his 46 point playing top PP minutes with Malkin and Crosby in his contract year. The last time he scored similar point was his another contract year (36pts). They are going to pay him 6M. Career wise Quincey production is close to Niskanen's except for the last season. A lot of things depends on the team and how coach uses his players.

Don't forget Hussey-Langfield-Ellis magic trio and Corry Corss at the D. Completely forgot Calder played for us.

I'm not mad at KH not signing one year wonders like Niskanen or aging guys like Boyle. We don't need them in fact and could have regretted these deal. I'm not mad at KH for signing Quickey. He is top 4. I'm mad at filling the roster with Kindls and Lashoffs and not being able to trade them for something meaningful. Play our youngsters on the D, Sproul, Oulette, Backman, Marchenko.

Vanek(6.5)-Parise(7.5)-Koivu(6.75) Suter(7.5)-Niskanen(? 7.0) ~35.35M what what the reason for those lockouts?

All scouting reports about Larkin remind me of another phenom we got in the first round - Cory Emmerton.

IMO, Niskanen is a product of Pens "all offense no defence" system. We will get another Quincey..

In spite of all these negative opinions I liked Bert in our uniform. Yes, this year he was useless but he was a good player for us. Perhaps, this is just my opinion as I was a big fan of him starting from late 90s and it was like a dream come true when we traded for him. So I wish all the best to him, the only player I truly liked who spent his best years not in Red Wings jersey.

Sign Gustaffson, bring Mrazek and trade Howard.

The simplest correct way would be Emdogov (Эмдогов) Sounds very strange in russian though.

to me his first video "Our way of life" is still the best. Pretty much sums up the best parts of hockey. in case you didn't see it

what do you guys think about trading Kindl for Engellang's right to Pens? We are getting rid of a clown and may sign a n ok 6-7 guy with a lot of toughness.

for national team of Belarus.

At least he has a plenty of experience playing meaningful games compared to those guys.

who are those small Euros we drafted recently? Mantha, Anastasou, Nastasuyk? I can only think of Matthias Janmark but he is not that small after all (6-0, 190).

they stopped calling penalties in the third. In this type of game Boston could score 10 against almost any team in the East, There is only one "but". it is not hockey PS Next game will be given to Monthreal. I'm going to test my "beloved" NHL with some money

a couple of additional penalties and the game is set.

I did.

Calling penalties on those "good old time hockey plays" make wonders. Being the only team from Canada helps refs whistles.

you're a bit late to the party. It is over.

team Canada as a whole had a bad tournament. Still Ekblad was noticeable especially with those first passes.... Don't know how big he is but he sees the ice very well.

the difference between us and Monthreal is that they have Price who can actually steal them games. That is it. It was all Bruins tonight just like in our series.

class doesn't sell tickets in the modern world.

this! With Monster in net I always feel the next shot goes in but it almost never happens This season showed how big of a mistake we made paying average goalie 5M per year. Gustaffson was clearly the better one.

Backman, Sproul, Almquist, Jensen, Oulette, Marchenko... Can we play any combination of these guys instead of Kindl and Lashoff?

Thanks for your post. I really hope those calling for Babcock's head will read it. I would go even a bit further saying that with the roster we have we play fairly good against one the best teams in the NHL.
