i was thinking we could take advantage of their recent slump...alas no.
Ducks are good this season

Sharks, Predators and Ducks are always favorites in the West, but I think Red Wings, Canucks and Flames (especially after bringing back Comrey) have better chances to win the West
Well, the streak has ended.
Wings went 175 consecutive games without being shutout...its over
0-1 to the Blues.
wow, thats an awesome streak..leafs on a 4 game win streak
this thread is dead lol, red wings always have a great season but imo they don't have what they need to win the cup this season
Speaking of West contenders, Forsberg is officially a Predator now
Nashville got every good end of that trade.
This is a good trade for Nashville, I wonder if he will resign with them next year, but for now who cares, they have got themsleves a uva pick-up. I hope my Red Wings do pick up someone of significance, but do not make a trade just to make a trade and not improve the team for the playoffs.
Holy ! I missed the news. Off to tsn.ca...
Blues are back in the playoff hunt
leafs are so up and down this season, nashville picking up forsberg is big he should play great come playoff time, plus they have one of the best goalies in the league
Nashville; done with moves. Rightfully so, they have every barrel loaded for the playoffs. Should be one uva team down the stretch.
Detroit; needs Bertuzzi, Roberts/Simon/Lapointe and a rugged defensemen. Beyond that, this team will be lucky to win one round in the playoffs (too soft).
Edmonton; cooked
Colorado; cooked
St Louis; cooked. Will deal both Guerin and Tkachuk before the deadline. Maybe even Brewer.
Buffalo; will add a forward (like Anson Carter or Modin). Injuries are biting at the total wrong time just like last year. The GM will address that before the deadline.
San Jose; I dont know if they can do anything. Theyre problems arent an addressable issue like toughness or grit. Its more consistent scoring, yet they have Super Joe, Cheechoo and Co yet still have problems scoring.
Anaheim; With their solid goaltending and very top-heavy defense, they should be feared. But beyond Selanne, they dont have much scoring (which is rearing its head as of late). Brian Burke is one of he best GMs ever in the NHL. He will address the gaping hole in the middle.
Ottawa; set for playoffs. One of the more balanced teams in the league. Maybe add some depth, but thats it.
Toronto; cooked. Wont make the playoffs, will be beat out by any number of other teams including Carolina and NY Islanders and even Tampa Bay.
Dallas; got a really nice player in Ladislav Nagy (potentially). He is a proven scorer who hasnt scored much this season. Should prosper on a much deeper team in the Stars. I think they gave up too much, but there is no price to high if this team goes deep and maybe even win the Cup. Turco has alot to prove again...he must have a really strong playoffs. Or his regular season greatness will be the only greatness he ever achieves.
Montreal : struggling big time since december 23rd, when they were 5 points behind Buffalo.... apprently, Habs love to take stupid penalties
plus huet is done for the regular seasonMontreal : struggling big time since december 23rd, when they were 5 points behind Buffalo.... apprently, Habs love to take stupid penalties
Yeah, but we still have solid goaltending ; Halak has been good
Ok, we have won the last 2 games ; good test tonight @ Nashville vs Forsberg & co, considering the injuries : Kovalev, Higgins, Begin, Huet....

WOW !!! WE WON IN NASHVILLE!!!
We showed some character
Wow those trades :
-Guerin to SJ
-Bertuzzi to Detroit
-Perreault to Toronto
-Zubrus to Buffalo
-Ryan Smith to NY Islanders : a shocker, and it was announced after the deadline
-And Bob Gainey doing NOTHING !!! We are 7th in the East, other teams chasing a playoff spot in the East are getting better, and Mr Gainey
Big Bert to the "D"
Im loving it. He has been my favorite player inthe league since his NYI days. Big, strong, physical, mean and talented.
If God created the perfect hockey player (in my mind), it would be Todd Bertuzzi.
totally agree, Bert is one bas of player, and I mean that in a good way. If he can get healthy and into game mode, he will greatly improve the D's second line.
Bas in a good way??? Steve Moore would certainly disagree
I post in another forum about hockey, so I am going to repeat myself.
Are you trying to compare the Detroit organization to Vancouver?!
Vancouver couldnt wear Detroit's jockstrap in terms of track record, lockeroom or leadership.
im glad montreal did nothing it helps the leafs out alot, with the return of tucker coming soon, but NY getting smith is gonna decrease our chances if we stay around 8th place until the end of the season
That Moore incident was no different than the McCarty/Lemieux tussle in '97, save the freak neck injury. Sucks for Moore but it isn't like it is something new in hockey...
One of my favorite hockey fights ever. I heart Bob Probert.
