But yeah Big Snake was first nations I believe. Fought a lot too. Was a fan favorite not just for the name. Shame he didn't make it!
Are you serious about Indians?

Top D pair: Kronwall-Chelios
2nd D pair: Fischer-Schneider
3rd D pair: Quincey-Smith
Healthy scratches: Kindl, Ouellet
Starting G: Hasek
Backup G: McCollum

That first line and top D pair are relatively good.

Who are these guys? How do you know they exist? Are you following top 200 prospects?

Seriously, how can you not like a guy described like that. Also to note, it seems that he was rated much higher than he was selected. I'm in, Maybe he turns out to be like Holmstrom or Hornquist.
He also looks like a young Zetterberg. I guess he is the man.
May we also draft a unknown russian from Yekaterinbourg in round 7?

I really really like what Steve is doing. Big mobile defensemen is what made St Lous champs this year.

One thing I noticed. It does not matter whether we are the best of worst in the NHL we keep shooting at posts. How many we had this game? Two already?

I'm 9yo doing my English homework here.
The problem with Holland is that he has no ideas what he is doing. If Mrazek wasn't the goalie of his choice he should have traded him 2 years ago. Instead, he created a toxic conditions for him last year exposing him to expansion draft and openly trying to trade him. Now, the net result is no return for a goalie that still has much better potential than anyone we have in our pipeline. We basically need a goalie right now as Howard is going to play even worse having virtually no competition.

This has to be a troll or a kid.
Confused it with expansion draft which is basically the same thing as waivers. You definitely got my point but decided to pretend you had no ideas what I'm talking about

I'm guessing this means they had no intention of qualifying him this summer, so they got at least a 4th for a guy they were going to lose for nothing later, and potentially quite a bit more. 4th (or more) > nothing, especially when there isn't much of a market for goalies. Holland did a good job.
Well, 4th round selection is nothing.
Of course, Holland had no intentions qualifying him. That is called bad asset management.

Another glory day for the brand new Red Wings! First treating Mrazek like s*** by exposing him to the waivers and then trading him for nothing while also retaining salary... And all these having no goalies in the pipeline. Well done!!!
For the Flyers it has all the potential to be "reserve" Bob trade.

It is funny that some people here truly believe it is about sports

Ha! This stuff reminded me the gladiator introduction of Ottawa Senators back in 2011 or 2012 play-offs. There are good, ok, and bad intros. This one is in its own land...

So far, Howard is playing the best hockey of his career. I personally didn't even think he could be that good.
-
Tried to find highlights on nhl.com but it seems those are unavailable for preseason games. Is this true?
-
I have a feeling we'll sign one or both... Athanasiou will play in Russia while Svechnikov and Bertuzzin in GR. It is becoming more and more frustrating.
-
I voted Datsyuk simply for how Red Wings started to look like once he departed. However, it is as close as one gets.

14 hours ago, kickazz said:13 minutes in the best league in the world vs 20 in a s*** league with mediocre players and a 40 year old Datsyuk?
the problem is that 40 years old Datsyuk is miles ahead of everyone except for Zetterberg on the Detroit roster.
As a fan I don't like what Athanasiou is doing but I can understand him.

Tomorrow we'll have no goalie for the future... F......!!!!!

Well, the absence of trades like this is a problem with Holland. Beaulieu and players like him won't save us immediately but he would have been huge upgrade over the likes of Oulette, Sproul, Jensen of whoever we going to play in top 4 this season. And we have like zillion 3rd round picks this year. Multiple trades like this may make a team gradually better.... we are instead looking/waiting for some magic, where someone is going to give us franchise D for nothing.

3 hours ago, shocky2002 said:You know what the sickest thing about the Penguins repeating is?
They're essentially the 2009 Red Wings. With all the injuries, they keep winning, they keep being great at puck movement, they still have good goaltending and they've got the best coach in the NHL. The 2009 Red Wings didn't repeat. But this Penguins team is probably going to do it.
This. And I honestly have no issues with them winning it two times in a row. They are, in fact, the best team right now and they also proving (similarly to the Red Wings back in 08 and 09) that having two elite and matured centers is enough to win the Cup.
However, I still have mixed feelings about Pens winning in 09. They were definitely not ready but the NHL used all the tools they had to push them to the Cup. I still believe that 09 Pens is one of the most undeseving champs over 30 years I'm watching NHL.

It all starts at 29.05.

Can we get Evgeni's brother Andrei drafted next year? He is miles ahead of Evgeni in terms of talent and stated multiple times that he wants to play with his brother.
Dabura reacted to this -
Have you noticed their 1st D pairing? Werenski - Jones. Two top 2 D logging a lot of minutes. In my opinion, these two guys as well as Bobrovski are the reason they are playing so well,
Eddog vs. Seider

What a nice thing to have them both. And also Soderblom who is even bigger than Edvinsson. This season is the first entertaining one since 2012 or so and the next will be even more interesting.
