Edmonton is like the anti-Pittsburgh. They always load up with talent at the draft while Pittsburgh unloads all their draft picks for NHL-ready players. If Edmonton is serious about contending next year, they unload some of that young talent/draft picks for NHL proven players and some grit. The team is going to be so talented but it's soft. I wonder what it would take for them to get Lucic/Seidenberg out of Boston. Adding Lucic to their top 6 would make it a contender for one of the best in the league and Seidenberg would be that big minutes shutdown defensmen they haven't had in a long time.

If Edmonton can pull off something like this and add in some defense and nastiness, I'll be thankful they are in the West and I wouldn't have to worry about them until the Cup Finals.

rough OT.

 

Apr 19, 2015

Being a Capitals fan is rough in general, I wouldn't wish that upon anyone

 

Apr 19, 2015

Being a Caps fan is terrible.

Montreal Ottawa off to another good start, must win for Ottawa. They're up 1-0 for now.

Vancouver/Calgary later on should be great too.

You trade Shultz before you trade Fayne. Fayne is the only D pickup that has actually lived up to his billing. Shultz is lauded for his offensive capabilities yet he can't make a break out pass to save his life and he doesn't know what a slap shot is considering all he does is wrist shots from the point on the pp. He isn't needed and hopefully mgmt pulls their heads out of their a----s to realize that. They should go grab Sekera or Martin, and a righty like Michalek on a short term deal that or if LA wants to get rid of Voynov trade a couple 2nds for him if he gets the charges dropped. Drai, Hall, Pitts 1st, both their seconds and their 16 first should be enough to grab a legit number 1 D man from somewhere. I'd love to grab Shattenkirk for Drai plus a 2nd or even Pitts first.

I haven't followed the Oilers close enough to know which defensmen have actually been the problem there, I just know defense is their biggest problem.

Giving up on a talented 23 year old puck moving defensmen isn't their best move IMO. With what you described of Schultz, he sounds a lot like Kris Letang when he was the same age except the fact Letang had played in 100 more games at than Schultz at 23 and Letang was on a lot better teams that could cover up his flaws. If you put Schultz with the right coaching he has the potential to be an elite defensman.

Shultz is a lot more like MA Bergeron than he is to Letang. Letang isn't a puck moving d-man thats the reason he should go.

you guys have a new starting goalie coming your way.

Weird seeing Brian Flynn playing a decent sized roll in this series for the Habs. I grew up with him and my brother is pretty good friends with him. Kid was probably the biggest Bruins fan i knew. Obviously that s--- goes out the window when you get into the league, still weird though.

Flames just went up 3-1 early in the 3rd.

 

Apr 20, 2015

What do you consider Letang if he isn't a puck moving d-man?

Sharks fired their coach today...
I guess the team Canada coach isn't good enough for them...


Any team who needs a coach right now. This is probably the guy you want.
RIP Sharks

Nervous about the Wild game tonight, d--- it's gonna be fun though.

 

Apr 20, 2015

When the Wild play this smart defensive style, it really can lock up the other team's offense although the Blues got going near the end there.

3rd period gonna be a battle, probably need another goal to feel good.

Wild WIN!!!
