I agree - that whole play was fantastic. May Day would probably be second for me though - even though i've only ever watched it as the clip on youtube

I think the NHL's expansion plans have gotten a little out of hand! :P

Also, what more is there for the guy in the Q? He tore it up this year. There is no challenge for him there. Guarantee him a roster spot, let him then fight to get ice time

The last game of the season (i think - near the end anyway), he was a beast - best guy on the ice. Proving you can play against professionals is meaningless, there are professional players in the UK, doesn't mean they would hold a candle to the AHL, likewise the AHL doesn't hold a candle to the Finnish league, and SM-liiga o the NHL The rookie camp is concerning, but i'll reserve judgement till i see this season

Grigo was a non-factor playing for 4 minutes a game on a line with Scott (but i do appreciate he didn't domiante to earn more ice time. Girgenson has never played in the NHL and had a pretty mediocre AHL season (especially the first 48 games) by all accounts - yet people think he will be a stud? Grigo has proven more than Girgs

Hoping youre not just going to quote his play last year, despite the fact he was the youngest guy in the entire NHL. Why do you say that?

Man I love Lidstrom. His play on the ice was so understated as well. Never that flashy, just pure effectiveness. I can't wait for him to make the HOF

They took their Finnish scout up on stage - that is an understandable thought. I would imagine he would know how hard the other teams work on draft day, so could make an informed decision? I also don't think he was suggesting they work harder, but never stop having meetings and discussing the players. It is not unlikely that some teams, when the season has ended, create their list and stick by it as these guys won't play any more hockey or have any more tests to change their rankings

Not to mention, as he is footing the bill, i have no problems with him have an input in vague ideas such as "harder to play against"

Yeah i thought that as well - that is the most interesting thing i found in that episode. I'm loving these series, just wish they did it more

I think this next season will have a lot of 'surprises'. I think the shortened season gave a really false impression of both teams and individual players. Even little things like a fraction of players coming in out of condition etc. will have had big effects

[insert Gerbe joke] My problem with Deluca's arguments are that they are rarely consistent, he always compares what makes that individual team/player good to what is bad about the Sabres. For example, he thinks Lucic is better than Bergeron because he is tougher, despite the fact that Lucic is MIA during the last few years playoffs. However, he then complains when a certain player disappears in the playoffs for the sabres, but never applies that criticism to Lucic or Kassian

Phaneuf Lupul Kessel JVR Bozak McClement Liles Kadri Colborne Gardinier Franson That is the list of guys on their team Burke drafted or traded for (off the top of my head). Kulimen, Gunnarson and Reimer are the only pre-Burke guys on the team

He is the new Foligno. By the end of preseason people will be demanding he is made captain to lead the new core. He has that exciting all round good but not excellent at anything style that folks here love. I would rather we slowed his development and had him top line centre, playing all situations for 20 minutes in the A than on the 3rd/4th line playing 12 (a.k.a. The Foligno) here. I think Grigo was rushed because fans really want stars on this team. They want that name to rally around and they want that guy who can be your best player, play all situations and be the captain (Toews). I think we have the guys to do it, but we need to let them learn to play those roles in the AHL before the NHL. Not to mention, we have all said Grigo's biggest development hindrance is that he is not ready for the NHL but too good for the CHL. Well i imagine it will be the same with Girgs

Inherited Burke's team?

Got a keg and played beer pong for the first time on Saturday. I felt very American (only thing missing were those red and white cups) :P

Only him and Gretzky ever got 8-point games :P

Tried some Monkey Shoulder last night. I liked it. I might buy a big bottle. My aim is to get Shackleton whiskey soon

Aren't the bruins miles over the cap now?

Wow that is shocking As they have lost next years they have to make sure it isn't high. Imagine if they get the first overall! Their record was awful without Kovy

Have you watched six feet under? If so, does it portrait the job accurately? Sorry to momentarily derail the thread

When I rowed I was fit. Then I quit but continued to eat as much as I did. Now I need to lose some of the weight. The finals hit and so I haven't had time. My aim is to get fit this summer. I plan on doing Hight Intensty Interval Trainging as it is a lot quicker than normal running and probably more fun! Otherwise I normally play rugby and ultimate frisbee. I also love croquet, but that doesn't exactl push yoj arobically! I also quite like to swim because I'm so bad at it it means I get a lot of exercise in a short amount of time. One of my friends runs 20km a day on average, it would be nice if I ha that drive. She also came too in her year. Life is unfair

We need wingers not centres
