To be fair, you are looking at what rounds the teams were eliminated in, and I'm looking at how he contributed to such run when he had stated he wanted to challenge himself and help the team win a Stanley Cup since they hadn't won one, which he didn't really do. But of course we can agree to disagree like usual.

Also being closer to the cup is somewhat irrelevant because close doesn't mean jack if you can't actually win it all as you should know.

Also this...





Suited him better in still not winning the cup for a team who has never won it and is now a part of a franchise who has won a cup taking away the special feeling he described in the original interview.

Holy Christ.

Said he'd get closer to Cup with Washington. Got closer to Cup with Washington. Pretty simple.

So get this, there was an outdoor hockey game in the Brisbane CBD last night.

It was only a 4 on 4 demonstration on a small-scale. But I was absolutely astounded by it. It's all part of the Winter Festival that just started last year. They charge people $30 for 45 minutes of public skating on a tiny as hell rink and everyone happily pays the fee for novelty factor. There's a tent with bar, couches and a fireplace set up behind it. So I rocked up in my Selanne 3rd jersey with my mate and watched 3 15 minute periods which occurred after each public session.

Luongo converts back to forward. Centers Kessel and Lupul on Toronto's top line. Vancouver receives Gardiner, Leaf's 1st round pick, Dallas Eakin and Dave Nonis's head on a plate.

Panthers sign Jason DeSantis (2-way) to the AHL. Seems to bolster that it's either Ellerby is trade bait or perhaps Garrison wants a very, very large payday. I hope it's the former which makes Strachan on the team full time and most likely Petrovic to be on the call-up list.

Shit load of tweets today about the draft and trades. FUCKING HYPED.

[KingHenrik30]

Carolina won't get Nash. There's a team that needs to retain their young players on cheap deals and build.

 

[Solo]

Real talk: I would probably have seriously considered dealing Subban for the #1 and Yakupov.

Habs have a number of good D prospects who could potentially fill Subban's void in a few years. On the flipside, they have no secondary scoring at all and no real potential scoring stud prospects. So yeah, I think I might have pulled the trigger if I were Bergevin.

You never drove your head into your teammates crotch after scoring a goal?

Hopefully those get ironed out.looks better than 12 though.

Nope, though I was never one who overly celebrated a goal. But yeah hopefully those get ironed out, still want to hear more on online be a GM after the latest news about how the draft is nerfed for online and what not which I wasn't thrilled about.

Lol are you fucking nuts? Good thing you aren't GM, that would be actually retarded, especially with how random this draft is, and scouts and some rankings have players like Galchenyuk at #1. You're acting like Nail is the next Crosby or something.

Wouldn't surprise me if we go off the board and take Hampus Lindholm. Murray likes to go off the board, especially with Swedes.

I remember when Karlsson was drafted, "WTF is that ?"

Nail can put pucks in net. Something no one in Montreal can do aside from like 4 guys. Don't care if he's Crosby or not. And we (Habs fans) overrate Subban to an extent.

Habs are going to miss the playoffs again without secondary scoring.

For him to think Yakupov is the next Crosby, you'd have to think Subban is the next Lidstrom.

Who here would not prefer Yakupov over Subban? How many of us are "lol fucking nuts"?

 

[DopeyFish]

Like Kadri and Schenn.

There is still hope for all of them

People seem to forget schenn was crazy good in his rookie season and since his drafting he is somehow in the top 30 in the NHL for even strength points (!!) while basically being one of the top defensive hitters in the game. He's only like 22 or 23.

Kadri is still young too...

Luke Schenn is only a year older than gardiner

Everyone is fucking nuts.

Got a question regarding offer sheets, if a crappy team like Colombus wants to offer sheet a player, does he have the ability to say no and not sign anything or is obliged to sign with them.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Looks like it is down to Tampa, Detroit, and Minny in signing Brunner (from the Swiss league I believe). Hopefully if we do sign him he doesn't turn into Leino 2.0

I'm sure Karlsson will get a bunch if he's not signed by July 1st.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Well you've got less competition now:

Pitt and Tampa out quick, now we have to fight Minny, I'm starting to hate them more and more with them wanting to outbid everyone for Parise as well as wanting Suter and now Brunner. Can't they just stay in the basement and not try to play with the big boys?

You would almost want Columbus to do that. They'd have to pay in excess of $6M per/yr and if Ottawa declined to match, they'd get something like four 1st round picks from Columbus in compensation.
