Jason_R Posted May 7 Posted May 7 McDavid isn’t going anywhere until the end of his contract. In the meantime, he will hold Stan’s feet to the fire about goaltending and other roster issues. I don’t know who Edmonton has that would meet Detroit’s needs and be a comparable asset, but Edmonton is desperate for a goalie and Cossa spent time with the Oil Kings. There will be Cossa to Edmonton rumors until McDavid’s wish for a new goalie is granted Quote
lordstanley Posted May 11 Author Posted May 11 (edited) Habs about to take a 2-1 series lead over Buffalo, up 6-2 with 4 minutes to go. Canes should have at least 10 days off. Alex Lyon was in for 4 goals against in Game 2 against Montreal and 5 goals tonight, so doubt he will start Game 4. Edited May 11 by lordstanley Quote
GalagaGuy Posted Thursday at 03:49 AM Posted Thursday at 03:49 AM I feel like we could just skip ahead to Colorado vs Carolina. I don't see any way either of them lose their next series. Quote

He knew it wouldn’t be a waste even if he couldn’t sign him long term. Even if it’s only 2 years, it’s been a massive success winning their first playoff series in a decade. Couldn't help myself 😂 It'll be interesting to see what they can do moving forward without a first round pick this draft and their 2-4 missing the following draft. Their prospect pool is already bottom half of the league, they have to hope Stramel is a guy especially since they have no center depth (or a number one center) on their nhl roster. They have like $12 million in cap space next season but they have a lot of roster spaces to fill so it isn't like they can acquire a premier player. Their non-Hughes/Faber defenders were pretty damn bad. I guess it is nice to win a playoff series but that is a flawed roster with a tenuous future moving forward. Quote
Hongbit Posted Thursday at 06:01 PM Posted Thursday at 06:01 PM No team should ever count on non-lottery 1st rounders on their team for at least 3 years and even if they make it at all. The lack of picks won’t have any impact on their team for a few years at least. The Wild took a big step forward this year. They will have another shot at it next year. If things don’t turn out how they want, they will be able to trade Hughes at the deadline for a big haul. Honestly; I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a playoff with two teams that look so dominant. It’s like nobody else has a chance. Can’t fault Minnesota for losing to that wagon. (Watch both lose in the conference finals now that I said that 😆) Quote

Well ya if they were using that to make the pick themselves, but they don't have that ammo for a trade to acquire anybody either! If you don't have prospects to deal you're probably hoping people want your picks. Their center options in free agency are....Malkin and Boone Jenner? They wouldn't be able to afford either them if they want to fill out their roster too. Malkin is going back to Pitt anyways if he doesn't retire. So Jenner and....Jack Roslivic? Roslivic is projected to eat up almost half of their available cap space! Quote

Carolina maybe, I think Ottawa and Philly were very weak opponents. Habs go up 3-2 in games on Buffalo with a 6-3 win. Montreal will be on fire Saturday night. Quote
lordstanley Posted Friday at 02:49 AM Author Posted Friday at 02:49 AM Mitch Marner with 18 pts to lead the NHL in playoff scoring this spring. If the Leafs are back in playoff position at next season’s deadline, they may wish to trade for him, as a proven playoff performer could help the Leafs get far. 1 Quote
slothfacekilla Posted Friday at 05:17 PM Posted Friday at 05:17 PM The only good thing about a Vegas cup win is Marner taking the cup back to Toronto 1 Quote

lordstanley Posted Sunday at 12:56 AM Author Posted Sunday at 12:56 AM 3 goals on 3 shots against Alex Lyon. Quote
lordstanley Posted Sunday at 03:02 AM Author Posted Sunday at 03:02 AM (edited) The Pistons’ 21-pt win tied an NBA record for biggest margin of victory for a Game 6 by a road team facing elimination, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Buffalo did the same with their 8-3 win at the Bell Centre tonight. Edited Sunday at 03:03 AM by lordstanley Quote
slothfacekilla Posted Sunday at 05:05 PM Posted Sunday at 05:05 PM Apparently that's the first time all four goalies have played in a playoff game without an injury, wild game! Quote
lordstanley Posted 8 hours ago Author Posted 8 hours ago (edited) Not only do the Habs have a 2-0 lead after the 1st period of Game 7, but both goals have been scored by Quebecois. Edited 8 hours ago by lordstanley Quote
lordstanley Posted 7 hours ago Author Posted 7 hours ago Habs had been sleepwalking through the 2nd. This 2-1 goal better wake them up. Quote
lordstanley Posted 7 hours ago Author Posted 7 hours ago 2nd straight game that the Habs, with a chance to win the series, have blown a 2-goal lead. Quote
lordstanley Posted 6 hours ago Author Posted 6 hours ago (edited) Olé, Olé, Olé! Edited 5 hours ago by lordstanley Quote
lordstanley Posted 5 hours ago Author Posted 5 hours ago Before the overtime, two big 3rd period calls. No penalty on a late hit on Dobes. The Sabres tied it off of the next faceoff. Then an early whistle prevented what could have been a go ahead goal for the Sabres Quote
