Bibeau shutout

Stopping 51 shots
Carlyle en route to ask Shanny to bring him up and give his system another chance!

Lemieux Interview

Lemieux: Yeah. You need speed. Look at Montreal, the way they’re built. They have some smaller forwards, but they’re all speedy and they’ve got grit, and they’ve got character. That’s probably what we’d like to have.

What alternate universe did I just fall into?

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 8m
PIT interested in player agent Pat Brisson as new GM but Brisson will have to decide if he's interested in leaving a lucrative agent biz.

Crosby's agent LOL

 

[Cake Boss]

Oh man Bryan Murray legit hard right now.

The 2 teams that have legit interest in Spezza had a dissapointing playoffs.

 

[Red_Man]

Crosby's agent LOL

Bit Mckenzie and Dreger said Habs were interested in him when we were looking for a new GM, but I never heard his name come up once.

St-Louis and Anaheim?

Who would you realistically want?

Emphasis on the realistically.

 

[FOOTE]

Spezza rumours won't die until the Blues finally trade Pietrangelo + to Ottawa to get him.

Shanny was at the game, he can drive Bibeau back to Toronto himself!

 

[Acid08]

Hello Ducks friends. Shit sucks, right?

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Suicide Pills are in the mail Heretic/Dastardly. I really wanted you guys to win too

I guess LA truly is the best California team.

Also Mantha is amazing.

 

[zroid]

Oh wow I missed that London took a penalty shot on Val d'Or. Considering it was a 1-0 game, that was a clutch-ass stop by Bibeau.

You shut your whore mouth!

 

[Acid08]

So we have the 20th pick. Can definitely see DW trying to trade up. Maybe he'll even make some crazy move for the first overall.

Ducks-age

Let's sing this one together. An oldie but a goodie.

 

[Marvie_3]

Sorry Ducks-age.....

 

[DopeyFish]

sooooo

glendale has paid out $24 million for the coyotes ($15 mil for team and $9 mil for arena) this year and only received $8 mil in revenue

loooool

edit:

wait a second i said $8 million! I meant $4 million!

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Hello Ducks friends. Shit sucks, right?

Sure does. Are we still banding against the Kings in our Alliance?

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Hello friends!!!!!!!

 

[zroid]

Looks like Burrows was not seriously injured by the knee-on-knee yesterday. The Italian player got suspended one game (for unintentional but irresponsible contact).

 

[Cake Boss]

Hello friends!!!!!!!

A signed Spezza for Etem, Smith Pelly and a 1st pls

Poor Etem, reduced to singing due to reduced minutes on the ice.

We'll treat you better here Emerson!

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

We'll keep Etem and Smith Pelly, thanks.

 

[Montresor]

Hello friends!!!!!!!

Sorry for being a dick with last night's comment. It was petty and retarded.

Welcome Ducks-age.

California, land of bikinis and palm trees, is amazingly home to three juggernaut NHL teams. LA, Anaheim, and (to a lesser extent, I guess, but only because of the recent 3-0 collapse) San Jose.

 

[Quick]

We'll keep Etem and Smith Pelly, thanks.

Only one black player per team.

Etem pls

No way man. No offence taken, but I appreciate the gesture. No forgiveness given because no apology needed.

California would be a pretty cool place to live. I'd personally live in San Francisco.

Classic GIF <3

I guess LA truly is the best California team.

Ducks are still the best, but Kings are the most consistent. So I guess that trumps a good roster in the playoffs.

Monsters.

I can see Etem and a draft pick going to the Canucks for Kesler this offseason.

With Koivu gone, we need a 2nd line center and more two way players.

 

[Freyjadour]

While it's complete fucking garbage to see yet another LA CHI WCF, every team that the Blues needed to win for draft purposes won. We now have the 21st and 32nd.

God I'd love for Fabbri and Schmaltz to drop enough for those picks.

 

[MacAttack]

"This is a very good team. There's some tweaks [to be done] here or there...," Chiarelli said. "It's very emotional. And it's my job to be unemotional about it...I'm not going to gut this team because some players didn't play well."

As expected, it sounds like most of the roster will be back for another run next year.

Unfortunately for Shawn Thornton, it sounds like he may not be re-signed, which would put an end to the Merlot line. They have been living off the reputation earned against Vancouver in 2011 but this is overdue at this point. Claude's insistence on not breaking them up probably hurt the team by not playing Paille on the third line when it was clear that Fraser wasn't quite ready to play that many minutes. Also, putting them in with 10 minutes left in the third in game seven had the opposite effect of what happened in 2011. The first line had just put tons of pressure on Montreal and when those guys came it out Montreal was able to push back and kill all that momentum.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

We still have enforcers in todays NHL and that does my head in.

 

[Merguson]

I'd love for the Leafs to draft Fabbri to be honest. Watching his highlights, he's unreal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSprrrIv7fc

It's possible. According to Trakios of the National Post (with the Q&A rounds Shanahan did), he told his scouts to look at high-reward, high-risk players in the draft. I think it's a good strategy moving forward. We've got a lot of depth but not enough high-end players.

To that end, new president Brendan Shanahan offered the scouting staff new guidelines heading into next month&#8217;s NHL Entry Draft. Where Brian Burke favoured size over skill (ie: Tyler Biggs) and Dave Nonis was admittedly safe in his selections (ie: Gauthier), Shanahan indicated this week that the emphasis would be on taking players with higher ceilings, starting with the No. 8 pick, even if that meant assuming greater risks.

Hello Ducks friends. Shit sucks, right?

Hello everyone. Shit does indeed suck, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that the Off-Season thread is not a kingslunk dominated thunderdome.

Melnyk is straight up trolling Cake Boss now:

As a Canadian - how can you not root for the Habs! Still, should be a great series! Enjoy it!

 

[zroid]

no words can satisfactorily describe this

I still don't understand why he was posting in the playoff thread hoping for a Ducks fans to vanish into this thread when his team was eliminated 3 weeks ago. His team doesn't get a second chance in the playoffs after Anaheim gets eliminated. Lol.

Spoiler

Lehtonen could have the powers to make this happen. Stealing games

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Melnyk is straight up trolling Cake Boss now:

I would rather die

 

[Cake Boss]

Melnyk is just catering to his other season ticket holders.

Come visit sometime

 

[Calamari41]

Kings fans waking up this morning shocked to read in the paper that there are two more rounds to be played.

Time to buy a shirt? Maybe after a couple more wins.

 

[Cake Boss]

Come visit sometime

Can I come too?

Always wanted to visit Cally.

 

[Calamari41]

You guys will always have a place to stay if you ever want to visit the Orange County coast, as far as I'm concerned.

Because of all the hotels.

 

[zroid]

Edmonton's too hot to handle for Guelph

 

[Samyy]

Godzilla was great :O
Sad I missed the Habs beat down though

 

[kingslunk]

Ready for some offseason trades to begin for the stars.

 

[Var]

Luke Schenn for Seguin and a 1st.

 

[zroid]

Tyler Bertuzzi looks like such a little bitch. Takes after his uncle.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Benn for Flieshmann + PITT 2015 3rd

DALÉ

 

[Fata1moose]

Benn to the Avs, in exchange I'll stop paying the officials in order to screw over the Stars.
