NHL and other ice hockey discussion

It's like in Tampa when he said he was their second choice behind STEVE YZERMAN


I find it very, very hard to believe McGuire fits in any coversation with Steve-Y

How can he KNOW he was the 2nd choice at all? (Mind reading of the Lightning's owner? )
BTW he will probably be considered BUT I don't see him getting the job (Hopefully)

In other news, I guess Malkin belongs on NHL 13 eh I haven't voted yet

I'd rather see Giroux on there in terms of guys who haven't been on the cover yet (otherwise Stamkos would be an obvious choice too)

[samarchepas]

Same here, either Giroux or Malkin

Fair enough. The experiment was dead.

Twitter is blowing up with people talking about that egg-head Pierre McGuire... please tell me that's just a joke

Oh God, as a GM he would probably trade the whole team and arena for Sidney Crosby since he has a 24-hour boner for him

Another reason NOT to sign the guy The Habs have a good core that should not be touched...but those around them should (Price,Subban,Pacioretty,Cole,Desharnais,Gorges and Emelin...don't really care about the rest )
The Team NEEDS a big center and will probably get one on draft this year.

I'd trade Pacioretty while his stock is so inflated You know you have a bad team when he's your best player. I'll eat dirt if he scores 30 goals again next year. He's just not that good at hockey...

I'd put the under-performing PK and the undersized Desharnais up for grabs too if I was running the show. Hell, Phaneuf isn't a guy I'd build a team around, and half the roster has just generally underperformed against their salary. Time for a big shakeup isn't it... The GM situation in Montreal is as ugly as Burke's run in Toronto.

sorry but...F!@# NO!!! (I will remember the "I will eat dirt if he scores 30 goals again next year" because he will )

Cool, please do. I know he's a fan favorite, but the guy is just not that good

Not that good? He pretty much did the same thing last year (14 goals in 37 games....thanks Chara...)
lets put it that way...its as if I would tell you Ryan Kesler is overrated...not

[samarchepas]

No chance LA is suffering one of the biggest let-downs of the last few years. Look at their 'top' guys... Kopitar has a pathetic 17 goals, Gagne has 7, Penner 5!!! What a joke. And their top two defensemen combined for 12 before the big trades.

They looked like they could win the Pacific and instead they just simply blow

Remember this? (I know they didn't win it but still)
All that they needed was a hot goalie and forwards that woke up

LA v NJ for the Cup

LA could be great a finalist team but NJ? (Worst possible matchup in term of fun? The Devils vs the Coyotes...unless you'd like games that end 1-0 with 3 or 4 OT periods )

Nice job predators, assholes. Well betman you got what you a western conference finals that no one will watch

[Teh One Who Knocks]

LA and Phoenix are hockey hotbeds

Flyers score!
