Lundqvist gets my vote, he is consistently good every season, you see a lot of guys, come and go with hot years here and there, he's always just solid.

[thugnificent]

I agree.  The Hawks were deflated for at least the second half, but it should have been 2-3.  There was no interference on that second goal.  Like, it sucks they lost, but I'm more pissed for the lack of penalties called against the Red Wings and that goal taken away than anything else.

nah the goal shouldn't have counted, the rule book clearly states you cant impede a goalies movement in the their crease, doesnt matter if you actually touch them or not

[Mooley]

Detroit are putting on a fucking clinic this year. Babcock is just straight out-coaching everyone. 1 shot on 3 powerplays for Chicago? Crazy.

[Nick..]

So the Avs hire Patrick Roy as their head coach. I'm excited to see what changes the Avs can do with Sakic at the helm and Roy as coach. Apparently Adam Foote is going to be brought on staff as well. Might as well bring in Forsberg and Bourque while they're at it, unreal.

[frisco]

Go Pens.

I hate Boston LA and SJ

Ideal cup final for me would be Wings-Pens

[Beeda Weeda]

how about them wings? wow.
i hate the bruins rangers series, ever game is soo fucking boring and I hate both teams
I would rather see Pens v hawks cup series,  good passing, fast skating and high scoring.

Might be more exciting seeing Roy fail miserably......I bet Keane will be in the mix there too....

Pens/wings was pretty good last time.....

We shall see, but anything is better than Sacco as a head coach.


Anyhow, I hope the Pens sweep the Bruins, fuck that team, and EA Sports for this bullshit they're putting in NHL 14.

I'm actually pretty excited about what they have going on for next years game. I might as well start an NHL 14 thread right now, if there isn't already one

All I know is that the graphics are going to be slightly better, there is going to be a new fighting engine and bugs from 13 are going to be fixed hopefully.

One touch dekes are gonna be big too - will make the game way more interesting

[thugnificent]

so when does next season start?

[tag_king]

I hate Marchand when he plays against the Leafs, but I loved it when he blasted past that goon Cooke, scored, and then beamed him instead of celebrating. I was loling so much at that game last night. I hope Boston sweeps them and then loses to Chicago. I know too many annoying Pens fans, it would be great to see them embarrassed.

I wonder which goaltender will get the start tomorrow - Bruins seem to have no problem putting the puck past them.

I know, they got them both dialed. Maybe put Crosby in? He hasn't been scoring and is good at stopping the puck with his face?

Despicable performance from Fleury. Pressure, lack of confidence, or terrible positioning?

Exactly how I feel. I've never like anything Marchand has done until yesterday. I'm kind of shocked I want the Bruins to win that one, but the heart wants what it wants. Hopefully Chicago hoists.

Yup. Boston in 4 over Pittsburg, and then a fast and hard 7 game final with Chicago winning, in a perfect world.

[ice nine]

hopefully Pittsburgh gets swept and they become hella desperate and show interest in luongo

don't care who wins, Chicago, Boston or LA

[raunchyrick]

Pittsburgh in 4, then Bruins slay another original 6 team and hoist the cup.

[thugnificent]

you are out of your mind

[macgruber]

Still hoping for the Pens to turn it around but they played like dog shit in game 2, the whole team. poor passing, a lot of giveaways, falldown defense and a lot of frustration. 2 goalies who weren't on point didn't help either. Game 1 pucks just weren't dropping and they weren't at the top of their game, but game 2 was just embarrassing. I got two buddies that are Boston fans and couldn't be happier they were out of town for that one so I didn't have to watch the game with them.

Its not too huge a stretch, send Fleury back the other way to try and balance the salary. Clearly Vokoun and Fleury are not going to get it done.

I just dont want the Canucks to buy out Luongo, what a shit storm that would be

so then you'd have to pay fleury 5 mill to be schneiders back up

[frisco]

the teams going to be a shitstorm next year.

I am still devastated by the Kassian-Hodgson trade

As long as Gillis stays GM I doubt any big moves will go down.

Either way we're going to have to take back salary and a shitty contract from another team who we trade Luongo to. I would honestly rather see Luongo to the Pens as he has the best chance to win a cup there

[Nick..]

I don't think I could handle hearing about Luongo all summer... again. Anyhow, draft day should be interesting since all 7 rounds are going to be on one day.

[frisco]

Interested to see what Colorado does. They pretty much can't go wrong.

I would take Mackinnion over Jones personally. Especially after the Memorial Cup Final last week. I just have a feeling Jones could be  Tyler Meyers/Victor Hedman type pick, they haven't really panned out. Obviously different play styles but honestly, who would you rather have on your team right now Victor Hedman or Matt Duchene?

Regardless of who they take they are getting a solid player, even Drouin who is the most underrated of the 3 will be a stud.

[raunchyrick]

Hopefully Tuukka and the gang can take out the trash tonight with a sweep!
