Around the NHL XX: The Post-Season Looms Near

[Rangerfan4life90]

I think Habs are definitely a threat in the East. Never underestimate a team with an elite goaltender. Probably 3rd best team in the East behind Isles/Rangers. I'm not sold on Tampa. I also think Caps are much more dangerous than Tampa.

I just feel the Habs rely TOO MUCH on Price, which likely won't fly in the playoffs.

I don't know how you aren't sold on Tampa Bay. They're the team that scares me the most in the playoffs.

I know this is a bit out there, but with Arizona bleeding money and McDavid being the best prospect since Crosby, anyone else half expect them lottery balls to fall in their favor?

What happened last season?

Tampa is a bad match up for us but apart from being a threat to us I don't consider them a threat to come out in the East.

I want him out West, preferably to the Oilers.

No, they've ruined enough young players.

Steve Cangialosi and Ken Daneyko

Worst broadcast team in sports?

 

[darko]

Arizona/Edmonton drafting 1-2 please.

I wouldn't be too upset if Buffalo gets him. Law of average would say that by the time they are good we'd be on the way down.

The teams in the Metro don't worry me as much as the teams in the Atlantic. Tampa and Montreal are going to be tougher outs than the remaining Metro teams.

I'd also like to avoid Boston as a wild card team. Rask can takeover a series.

I actually like Dano as a commentator. Cangialosi sounds like a cat trapped in a buzzsaw.

Who cares. He's not our player.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

If the Oilers manage to ruin McDavid, that's their problem. I think it's ridiculous to put all the blame on Oilers management for Yakupov, Eberle, Hall, Nugent Hopkins etc to not live up the high expectations. Maybe it's the players themselves who are to blame a bit in this. Yes, Oilers management sucks, but I feel a guy like Hall has himself to blame as well.

 

[The Gloaming]

I'd like to see McDavid become the best player he can be. That's not happening in Edmonton.

 

[The Gloaming]

Good job, Devils. Keep winning. Won't make the playoffs, won't pick top 10.

 

[RangerBlues]

Yotes have embraced the race for the tank.

Have you seen that forward lineup? Might be worse than what Buffalo ices every night.

Love it. Keep on winning.

Amazes me that Shane Doan wont entertain a trade to a contender

Krejci out 4-6 weeks for boston. Looks like they are a sinking ship and FLA can take advantage.

Also, DET losing tonight would be nice for us overall for the east. It will tie them with us in GP but we'll be 2 points up.

 

[Raspewtin]

Did they just play a pop punk cover of Royals in Anaheim?

Not looking great at the moment, Datsyuk was left all alone on an island to score.2-0.

The dude is retired. Making a boat loaf of cash, living in a warm climate. It amazes me that so many of these vets are as competitive as they are, uprooting their lives to play grueling hockey for very little additional cash. I suppose that's what separates these guys from the rest of us though. Well, that and talent.

The Ducks are such an unimpressive team. How the hell do they have the 2nd most points in the league?

The Kings are coming out of that division.

Top heavy talent + shootouts
