Question for Solo and the rest of Habs-Gaf that's left here that I was thinking about today:
Do you think Giroux could have developed into the player he is now in Montreal? I know there has been some hindsight saying that it was a screwup to not pick up the French guy that one time, but we've seen how important the physical part is to his game and how he gets fired up over it. Do you think he could have developed that same style in Montreal or is that somewhat unique to the Philly system?

Defense passes to center, back to wing, back to center! Center holds it! Holds it! Holds it!!

Preds are one of the best teams in the NHL last year and this year, not sure about tose other teams though. Red Wings will retool in the offseason, Nucks will trade Lou and be even better next year, I still think Hawks advance and even if they dont they will be better next year. I am not sold on the Blues or Kings going forward.
So fucking good.
good form! I was going to post the same thing... too bad I fell asleep :X
I also picked the Kings, but I have to admit it was sort of like a "haha, I'm going to pick this huge upset because I like the Kings and I want to spite canuck gaf!"
great question, would love to hear a serious answer. From his interviews it sounds like he developed his "fire" when he was in juniors/younger age. I watched an interview about it, and he said his coach pushed him to be that way.
Flyer-GAF: If/when we get Grossmann back, I say bench Kubina over Gus. Agree/disagree?
also, this rest is huge for everybody. JVR didn't look like he should have been playing, I just think lavy had an option. Rinaldo blows.
well done my friend, well done.

I want Gus to stay in the lineup he had a really solid game and I am excited to see his development going forward.
Giroux wasn't a day one superstar. So sadly, Montreal media would probably have ruined him before he reached his potential. I'd love to have him, but Philly Giroux > what Montreal Giroux likely would have been.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
This would also be an accurate representation of the Penguins' power play offense during the playoffs.

As shaky as Bryz was I was really surprised they didnt just throw the puck on net, and instead kept trying to make perfect plays.

Things always work out really well when you start talking trash to them.... Remember game 1?

I am so glad he is back. It would have sucked so much if his career had ended on a bullshit hit like that. I think the Sens are going to do it tonight. Just need the first goal so that the Ranger will have to try and play both ways.
Remember when I called them overrated and said Sens in 6 then they win Game 1. Then the haters came out saying it was going to be a sweep.
I am going to pull out those quotes tonight.

We've been getting that all year here, "LOL Ottawa", "Buffalo and Washington will make it in etc."
The 4th win is the hardest, just ask LA and Philly. That being said we're getting the captain back and we're 4-1 lifetime in games where we can eliminate our opponent. There's talk on Hfboards that Lundqvist has a flu and was on IV last night as well.
This will be the hardest win, we have to end it tonight and not let the series go to 7.
Your fall is only as big as your expectations. Next time, don't expect it all.

as a Montrealer who is not a Habs fan; I say no
Montreal plays defensive offense and doesnt give their young players enough ice time. With Martin/Cunneyworth system, lol hell no he wouldn't have boomed there
look how rookies are making a big impact for the Flyers. Lavi lets them play and allows them to develop over time and provethemselves. Something that Montreal does not do.

Or maybe next time come in and actually talk hockey rather then saying over and over agin that it is destiny and no one else evens stands a chance. There are lots of other people here who support their teams passiontely, and none of them get the shit he gets because they are not annoying about it.

Heh, co-worker complaining that the King's away jersey looks like a cigarette pack. Hard to unsee.

Ahh, I remember making fun of this logo so much back in middle school when it was first unveiled.

Good times.
Hopefully that will not be true anymore. With Gainey/Gauthier/Martin/Cunneyworth gone, there is a great opportunity for a complete culture change in the franchise.

Canadian favourite spelling fail
NHL 99 wasn't too bad. I remember playing a ton of that and Madden 99 over the Christmas holidays in 1998.
Government town, we cant spell.

Everybody hated the "Pooh" bear sweaters. They are still one of my guiltiest pleasures for terrible tastes.

I like those ones in the so bad, they're actually good way. These ones, however, I think are among the worst, if not the worst:

The second version of this jersey, where they replaced the Gorton's Fisherman with the regular Islanders logo, is actually pretty good.

1997-1999, I believe. I barely even remember them myself.
ITS SNOWING WTF IS THIS SHIT.
Hell froze over with Ottawa being the only canadian team left.
What? where do you live?
We switched. It's been cold here in Calgary for the last while. I remember being jealous of how warm and hot it was back east while it snowed in Calgary.
Today's supposed to hit 27deg and sunny.
