whoever said the other day "this team can't handle prosperity" yeahhh - basically sums up my thoughts watching Anaheim score those 3 goals
its funny seeing the Ducks players/media toe the line on complaining about the UC ice. Neither teams have great ice surfaces, but thats not the reason this series is 2-2.
I know Q said TVR wasn't going to play game 4... I haven't seen anything about 5 but going to guess they don't want to throw him out on the road. What are the chances he is on the ice for game 6?
These teams are starting to wear down some... Our team looked like they were on fumes. Be really nice if we could win tonight and close out in 6....
I know they weren't. I posted that he scares me and then his defense took a shit on his chest 30 seconds later.
What a horrible period... be nice to kill this and put one in the back of the net to tighten this shit up
Do we assume this guy just walks right into the team? I'm ready to trade Bickell away for a can of baked beans at this point.
Yeah, I didn't necessarily mean he would skate on the 2nd line with Kane and ???? (curious to see if Richards will take another vet min type deal), just that Bickell is almost assuredly gone and there will be a spot open.
yea hes a lock and iirc Bowman set up the deal where if he doesnt make the team he can go back to KHL (aka Q has no choice but to play him)
On my cell so its tough to look up but what do the lines look like next season? Going to guess Sharp, Bick, Richards, Vermy all gone... JO, Timmo and Rozival gone. Does Versteeg return?
could feasibly keep Sharp with this i think Saad Toews Hossa Sharp (Vet Deal) Kane Panarin Teuvo McNeill Nordstrom Kruger Shaw Keith Seabrook Hammer Johns Pokka TVR if you go to hawkscap.com he breaks down a lot of scenarios with #s
Bickell, Vermette, Oduya, Kimo, Rozsival all gone Sharp and Richards I'm not as sure about. I could see Richards going. Sharp would be more of a surprise, IMO. Saad - Toews - Hossa Kane - ??? - ??? Teuvo - ??? - Sharp ??? - Kruger - Shaw Panarin will slide into one of those spots. Maybe they can get Richards back on a manageable deal if they shed the likes of Rozsi, Oduya and Bickell. Versteeg could also fill one of those spots. Beyond that you're looking at Nordstrom and somebody else already in the system. Then D probably looks like this... Keith - Seabrook Hammer - ??? ??? - ??? I'd expect Johns and TVR to fill two of those spots. The last one will go to one of Pokka, Rundblad (I think he sucks and hope we get rid of him), the Swedish dman they just signed (Gustafsson?) or Cumiskey. I haven't really done the math on any of this and no more capgeek
That's probably what will happen as Fran said, moving Crow won't be easy. Niemi is a FA. Bring him back
