Yup, ancient history, no real rivalry today.
And we already covered that NBC makes up rivalries... so....

Oh you bet Yumcha-rants.


I believe in conspiracy theories and so, I pray the Count et al do NOT award either 1 or 2 spots to Edmonton.

Pronger is under contract with the flyers, Pronger is employed by the NHL department of player safety. Philly gets the #1 pick despite not finishing last in the league.

I'll puke if the Oilers get McDavid or Eichel.




Let them ruin another player instead...not generational talents, please. Good for the NHL if they are not sent to purgatory/hell.

First of all, it's McCheesesteak.

Second, if I ever see a bunch of stray maple leafs running in the street I'll be testing the limits of my steel bumper not trying to help them find their way back home

I can't imagine the lengths you would have gone to if it was a Finlandian breed. Dog would be eating T-Bone right now.

Ahh but my team only kinda sucks, they don't completely suck so we'll never get them and even if we did we'd trade them away for the highest paid 3rd liner we could get.

LOL ...habs 1st overall y'all can say whatever ya want but the numbers do not lie, however I must say that the rangers look very impressive. If the habs can somehow find a way to either beat tampa in the playoffs or hopefully tampa gets beat out then MTL has a great shot at the finals this year. I can see the east final going down to the rangers and habs yet again. things will be different this time around with price between the pipes

Price for hart and vezina??

yea I'm also concerned about the presidents trophy, if I'm not mistaken last team to win the press trophy and the cup was detriot or maybe the blackhawks??

although tokarski was very solid last year in the ECF, he however is no carey price by any means. MTL plays a very different game with price in net, they are able to take more risks on both ends.

Needless to say , rangers and habs are different teams then they were last year. I really hope they do play each other in the ECF, it would be a excellent series!

Considering his team imploded in front of him, I think you need to level your comment a bit...and besides, Mr. Fleury has a Cup ring...aside from Roy getting it in 93, I don't see anyone with one from the Habs...

Although, I do remember getting into a nice e-slapping contest with Ack about needing to shore up team D but, I think we're all good now as he sees what a commitment to defense does for a team and well, ANY goalie.

And yes, who cares about name-brand goalies.

look at the average age of the habs, very young team doing a lot of great things right now, we will be a great team for many years to come so get use to it

My argument was that it wasn't the D alone that caused the collapse. I certainly won't argue with a league leading 9 shutouts though
