Big?

Unless the Kings are going to unload some serious salary contract players on the Oil....doubtful......not to mention Kings will want that Oil youth.....doubt the oil is going to give up the current/future talent for some big money half-ass talent.

So my guess is Stoll, Williams, Clifford, Muzzin, Martinez and some Manchester kids are in play.

My guess is Frattin for Hall and Nugent-Hopkins.


















Oh and that young goalie going to the Oil too. Probably for Scrivens.

That'd be a win for Edmonton. Frattin at least comes from a winning team that sniffed .500 hockey.

What's hilarious is if Poo reports it, it means it's not happening. Vaportrade, folks.


Expect something from left field between Kings and some other team. The Sabres, Cats, and Flames are for-sure sellers...

Hence why I put a bunch of and in my post about Poo.

Kings are not going to make a deal prior to the Olympic Break.

Don't diss like that! He's proven time and time and time and time and time again that he's the biggest fan.

I sure didn't know where the Cup was during the off-season. He followed it EVERYWHERE!

None of y'all can add that into your resume.

Zipit. I know that Ulf Samuelsson and Tom Barrasso suits up regularly still!


There's also a Luigi guy. He's related to Mario, right?

Real teams give up 4 goal leads with just over 10 minutes to play in game 7's.

Sweden
Finland
Russia
Czech Republic
Canada
United States
Switzerland
Slovakia
Yea I agree with Dom, what does this have to do with the Olympics? The Junior championships are for players who are developing prospects. The Olympics will be full of NHL studs. You're comparing apples and oranges. Just to give you an example: this year's MVP of the World Juniors, Filip Forsberg, has 1 NHL goal.
Last year's MVP, goalie John Gibson, has played 0 NHL games. The only Olympic teams who will have players from this tournament are the crappier teams that most likely won't win the tournament.

Like I said, I won't count Finland out completely, but they're definitely the lowest of the teams that actually have a shot at winning. I just don't think their superior goaltending can make up for their lack of offense.

^ I think Black Label may be sleeping with Finnish trainer or something.

We know he likes to have Tukka Raask over for Finnish meatballs every Sunday too.

Those rankings are for all international play not just wjc. Ftr, since 1988 Finland medaled in every Olympics except 2.

Sure. History has proven that.
Kings did the same thing when they won The Cup in 2012.

Even fired their coach too.

You would know this if you followed a real hockey team

I just know the Finns are going to win the fawkin gold after all this bashing and those toilet paper rankings will actually be meaningful.

Unpossible.

If you followed a real team you would realize the Stanley Cup Finals this year will be the Leafs V Finlandia

Both teams will play to a game seven draw.

Stanley Cup will be cut in half and given to each team.

Tim Lie-Weekly will have two parades for each half of The Cup.

Half of the Stanley Cup will be permanently on display in Finlandia......the half that has all the Leafs wins prior from '67 back.
