  1.  

    I could be wrong, and correct me if I am, but last I heard the Bruins weren't keen on shopping Subban last year, I doubt they ship him for 2nd round picks; he's, from what I've gathered, I highly touted goalie prospect, something we don't have (minus Ulmark).

     

    You're not wrong, Subban is one of the higher rated goalie prospects out there.

    As LGR is fond of pointing out, top-rated goalies don't get picked high. In recent drafts they generally go between pick 20 and pick 40.

    Subban went at 24 and it's not like he's suddenly become something no one was expecting.

     

    I'm pretty confident we can get a prospect as strong as Subban with our second pick, or a late first obtained by trading one of our UFAs.

  2. Miller has to be traded; every GM knows this and only a few are interested.

    It's the definition of a buyer's market.

    the Blues want him, but a first (or Edmonton's second) is probably all Armstrong will have have to pay because no one is going to beat that offer.

  3. Not saying this dude is credible, but he also co-founded Octagon sports agency with Mike Liut, who is Ryan Miller's agent. I don't see any reason for Lawton to make anything up?

    So this isn't the Sabres camp floating a fake rumour in order to spark better offers, it's the Miller camp doing same?

  4. Not sure if it was on the American broadcast, but the US had been warned earlier in the game about whacking the goalie after a save.

    Doesn't change the fact that was a horrible call on lamoureaux.

    And I am surprised there isn't more bitching about the penalty call on Wickenheiser's breakaway. Since when has a one-handed push on the butt, away from the boards, been a penalty?

     

    But hockey games aren't that simple, especially between two teams this close.

    American keeper made a boneheaded play on the tying goal and was very slow coming across on the winner.

    Canadian keeper was huge in the first minute of OT.

    US relaxed too early in the third, opened the door and lost their composure.

    Poulin had the puck on her stick twice with the game on the line and was ice water money.

     

    Hope the game tomorrow is that entertaining.

  5. That staked lamb just keeps looking juicier. There's no way the Islanders pick isn't top five now.

    And if this is one of those nine-month ligament issues, the Islanders might be opening their Christmas presents with a Rolston-sized lead in the McDavid derby.

     

    I've always thought top five this year they have to defer, but with a recovering JT and not Vanek, it's tough to see them not being a bottom-five team next year too.

     

    This is looking more and more like Darcy's best trade ever.

  6. If the team isn't sold on Nolan, why fire him at this end of the season when it will be controversial?

    With our talent base, it's almost inevitable the coach who starts next year will be fired before we turn into a contender. That's the hockey way anywhere but Darcy's Buffalo and David's Nashville.

    Ted can be that sacrificial lamb as well as anyone else.

  7. Putting the trash talk aside for one moment of weakness:

    Americans look good, but they haven’t played anyone with our ability to play defence.

    Then again, we haven’t played anyone with their ability to score goals.

    Quick is better than Price (Miller is better than both) but not enough that it it will be the difference.

    I think it’s a pick ‘em.

    Now back to lining my septic field with Phil Kessel hockey cards.
