I never thought that would be possible but I've been proven wrong once again.

So I guess there's that?

By 'douche', you of course mean 'among the very greatest hockey players of all time, despite jealousy so intense from others that it becomes hatred', right?


I'll put this in terms you should understand completely. Crosby = Brady.

Ha!

Fair enough there Gorgon!

Told my brother that many of times...if he played for your team you would love him. We just got lucky in 05 when they drew our teams name from the hat

Yeah I don't really get the whole Sid the Kid= league's biggest d-bag argument... particularly when there are guys like Marchand and Lucic out there.

Or, like, the entire Canandiens team and fan base?

They're just a passionate people. They riot when they lose AND when they win.

Have you watched how Sid played this finals? And you're still questioning it?

In other Penguins news, looks like Fluery will become the Knights new starter.

That's just some good old time hockey right there.

Someone had to do it to those scrappy Preds.

Can anyone remember when a Cinderella team won it all? It seems they can make it to the final but run out of steam versus the favored team from the other conference. Preds died in the Final this year. Northstars in 90 or 91. Panthers get there in 95 or 96. Sabres lost to the Stars. As an 8th seed Kings beat the Canucks, but won the Final against the Devils, who weren't that favored. That team was arguably much better than their 8th seed status.

Funny how people point out Mr Slew Foot getting a few love taps to the helmet. Subban tried his Slew footing 25 years ago on Wayne their would of been hell to pay.

Totally agree. It's a totally different NHL now. Sadly, Lucic is the closest thing to a Dave Brown, McSorely, Probert, Boogaard type and he's a rarity. Miss the good ole' days.

*edit* oops.

Protection lists are released.

Anyone surprised by their teams choices?

Nope knew Fluery would being heading to LV.. no way in hell they getting Sid, Geno, Tang, or Phil

Ducks left Manson and Vantenin unprotected. Bet there's a deal in place there to keep them. I'd love to see Manson in a Hawks jersey like his pops years ago.

Not sure why Preds left Neal unprotected. He brings a lot to the table, perfect for an expansion team.

Blues protecting Reaves instead of Perron? Not sure about that one.

It's a head fake...

Perron has value, but I can see this as a means to get LV to pick him in order to free up some cap space.

We have plenty of new guys who can take Perry's spot.

Good read by the Blue's own V. Taransenko:
