Watched Vinnie against my Hawks in T-Bay's 6-1 spanking by the Hawks and he was a non-factor. Floated around up and down the ice and was outplayed by a bunch of rookies.

Well, he's got that no trade clause and he doesnt want to leave

Today, Lecavailier. Although that answer could change next week.
Offer Sundin a decent chance to with the cup, (Detroit or Anaheim for example) and he'll jump. Trade deadline comes early this year, February.

The NHL head office should study their atlas a bit better...last time I checked, Nashville to Vancouver is not a exactly a short trip.
BTW...Luongo apparently has bruised ribs, which made it difficult to breath.

Why couldn't Luongo be injured when the Nucks played my Hawks...?

Question is which Kings team will show up?
The one that beats the Sabres 8-2.....
or the one that can't even beat the Coyotes this year.

Lundqvist or Lecavalier and I'd go with Lundqvist..
Rangers are a horrible defensive team and numbers wise one of the worst offensive teams.. Has to go to Lundqvist..

And this is the Rangers team that some "experts" in the press have picked as Cup faves with their free agent signings?

The Pens got thumped last night. But did you see that beating Roberts laid on Eager?

they just can't score goals... so i'll give you the worst offensive. lundqvist for the win. but their not resting him enough and will probably sputter out midway. i hope not but i think he will get run down.

Very undisiplined game by the pens last night from the second period on. Hey if you can't beat 'em, might as well beat the hell outta of em. I just wish we didn't have to wait until the end of January to play them again!

All this without Bergeron and the #1 and 2 goalies. The young guys (Lucic, Nokelainen, Stuart, Sobotka, Kessel) are looking great.

FWIW Kopitar schooled 'Bulin with that shot.
...and JS Aubin =
3 goals on 6 shots
12-13-2007, 10:38 AM
how did aubin even make it to the NHL? his pre-nhl was less than impressive and he hasn't really shown any promise in the pros. at least kings fans can rest assured he can be dumped after a year.

He won 9 in a row playing for Toronto 2 season's ago and played well. At best he's a backup on a mediocre team. Which explains why he's on the Kings.

Aubin got lucky when he won 9 in a row for the Leafs.
He has shown ZERO brilliance this year.
Lombardi got beachball = BUST
Lombardi got Aubin = BUST
I'd be happier if Hextall left the front office and suited up.

The last thing we need to do is dumpster dive for some has been goaltender that goes on a hot streak, and kills our pick chances. (See Burke)

The Kings and their goalies issue is like the Chicago Bears and their QB issue...

...so, what CleanCL is really hinting at is that we should contract the League. Re-concentrate the talent level...which therefore ALLOWS for that "good" team he was alluding to and then, let the other team trap.
But, wait...if you contract the league, that means ALL teams get their talents equally dispersed more or less...that would mean, the talented team does NOT need to trap! So...no trapping!

I guess your prediction was right Dom, one of the worst games I've been to. Not because of the trap either, both teams just played really bad plus there were about 50 fans in the stands. Seemed more like a pre season game.
