Hurricanes in 2006 and teams with bad defenses (Penguins in 2009, Flyers in 2010) have made cup runs in the past.
Dont forget Tampa

We'll see how much stronger with Malkin. Still a little worried. Just saying . . .
Pronger, Gonchar, and Hedman are number ones, we don't have anyone of that caliber healthy.
If any group of guys can rise up and overcome the odds it's this one. Our team has more balls and clutch performance than any team we've had in a very long time. Call me crazy, but I'm confident we can repeat even without Letang.
So at this point you have to figure out how bad the Letang injury is, and whether its going to be chronic cause you may be able to get him exposed to vegas if the news is dire enough and save another dman
Expected this, really.
Shattenkirk, yea, we shoulda went all in to land him BUT even then we might not repeat and he 100% bolts to another team.
Perhaps JR can now turn his focus on an Alzner, Trouba or Myers who'll play here for alot longer than 1 PO run.
Is it wrong to think that if the Penguins avoid Washington in the 2nd round and avoid Chicago in the SCF that they could still win it all? By no stretch would it be a gimmie, but I think there's a pretty big drop-off between those teams any of the other playoff teams.
Tangers isn't going to retire. I mean unless I missed something big. I'm at work so no videos load. But I hate to use the classic "the best ability is availability" garbage, but this is the time we need to at least explore every option.
You simply cannot waste the next 4-5 years. That's our window. If Letang cannot be reliable, then that's something the team needs to think about. I hate saying that. It's terrible to think and say, but we can't make those moves unless letang's money is gone.
Just a crap situation. Really crap situation.
Does he have a full NMC? I assumed so, which to me means we're resigned to the situation for better or worse. I was shocked he had 5 years left on his deal. For some reason it seemed like he signed it forever ago.
Just curious if anyone knows how the cap situation well be if Kunitz and Fleury are gone after the season? Don't really follow the cap stuff a whole lot. Letang is so injury prone at this point they almost have to go after a big name dman. Maybe old man river can work some magic and sucker someone. Feel so bad for Tanger. The guy has been through a lot.

Alzner would be awesome.Expected this, really.

One has to wonder how brutal his offseason training regimens are have something to do with his inability to stay healthy. I'd say yes. His body never has time to recuperate.
