Ahhh, now to sit back and watch what CF does with the roster.
*grabs popcorn*
What can he do? Poms is overpaid. Vanek, Koivu, Parise and Suter have NTC. Coyle is overpaid. Granlund is pathetic. el Nino? Zucker?...They have little value.

Wild
It's been clear to everyone for a long time except for the one person who could have done something about it. But nope...we'll even load on some extra PP minutes.
Start behind the bench, then go from there.

Don't worry. You'll outgrow "happy to be here" syndrome soon enough. Our fans have. Our GM hasn't.

We have a lot of years of fail to go before reaching that status. Besides, the Blues are on that train now.

He's smart enough to realize this team isn't capable of beating the Hawks, nonetheless competing for a cup. He's gotta make changes, he just has too. But it's going to be very tough with the contracts we have. Very interested to see what he does.
I don't know, the last time we've reached the finals was...12 years ago.
Sharks have been disappointing for years (but still managed to get to the playoffs for almost 20 years with 2 years (this year and 02-03) missing it). But they at least got to the third round a few times before falling off. This team could easily turn into the Sharks if they don't start changing things.

No words. Can't bury goals until the game is too far out of reach with too little time left. No one on the team knows how to pass anymore. Pominville and Vanek continue to be useless. This team can't win as they are right now. Next year is our last year of contention before major changes and we may not even make the playoffs next year.
Coyle is a good 3c and will probably become a very good 3c.He is not a 2c now and I doubt he becomes one.
Pomminville and Vanek were second and third in points and don't deserve some of the hate they get,this team would be a lot worse without them.
Granlund was good in these playoffs.I was all for dangling him in trade talks now I am not so sure.
That line of thinking is what keeps the latter employed. Vanek is more costly than anything and more often than not ended plays in turnovers.
Pompoms at least has a history of showing up and performing on this team without being a complete anchor most of the time. Though it would seem he forgot how one-timers work, which is a tad worrying.

Nah.
There are turnovers all the time in hockey, a lot of very good players have high turnover rates.If you expect Vanek to be a heavy forechecking board grinder you are gonna be disappointed.
It seems like moment got to big for the vets, while the kids (Dumba, Granlund, Nino) rose to the occasion. Sort of the opposite of the way it's supposed to be, no?
Suter and Koivu were especially disappointing. Looked old and slow, which is scary considering the dollars involved.

That didn't go the way I hoped or thought it would. It was a very nice run. Horrible ending but probably the most fun team for me not called the North Stars. After all it ends badly for all but one team. Now I believe that team is the Hawks. Tip of the cap Chicago. Great squad. Cya next season boys.
