He's actually surprisingly competent with hockey for being someone associated with ESPN. If you are looking at this past 3 p.m. (when it ends), I'm pretty sure the transcript of convo will be there. http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=22612 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DatsyukownzU13 1 Report post Posted September 19, 2008 Update: For those that don't want to read through the whole transcript, here are the questions that regarded the Red Wings: With the signing of Marian Hossa in the offseason, the Detroit Red Wings stacked their star filled lineup even more. Do you believe that there are any glaring weaknesses anywhere in their lineup? Pierre LeBrun: No. I really don't ., I think on paper, this is the most complete team. I think if there are any struggles with this team, it will be from within. The Cup hangover has been significant since the lockout. But I know from speaking with Mike Babcock this week, he'll get on that right from the start of their camp that their offseason was only 7 days shorter. But the Wings are definitely poised for a back to back. Pierre, who do you see playing in the Cup Final this year? Pierre LeBrun: I'm still debating among four or five teams before I put in my picks. But I'm being put on the spot, am I? I'm going to go with, how about Montreal-San Jose. Pierre LeBrun: Even though I know the Wings are the team to beat. What do you think the Blackhawks chances are of making the playoffs this year? Assuming they make the playoffs how far will they go? Pierre LeBrun: I think they're very good. I'd be surprised if they didn't. Campbell was a huge offseason acquisition. They always say once you get in, anything can happen. But I think the Detroits, San Joses, Dallas, Anaheims of the world are still the top tier, but them getting to the playoffs would be a lot of fun. Pierre, What numbers do you expect out of Chris Osgood this season? Pierre LeBrun: I don't think that Detroit signed Ty Conklin to be a spectator. I think they signed him to give Osgood the odd break. I think Conklin will probably get in there to spell Osgood enough that you won't see him play more than 60 games.

Good responses, however I'm pretty sure the person meant what kind of *stats* does he expect (I.E. SV%, GAA, SO's, etc.), not games played. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
