I think this is good for both teams, but I'll comment on Montreal's point of view in a few points.
Free up almost $3 million to be put towards signing Price
Get bigger by 5'' (Bourque 6'2, Cammalleri 5'9)
Bring in someone to score the much needed dirty goals, and not the pretty ones
2nd round...
Although Tortorolla is known for his 'tell it like it is' attitude, I think he did have meaning in his apologies. But crap, I can't find his apology press conference. It was on yahoo yesterday.
As to paying the fine, yeah...I doubt he cares.
He's probably done for good, but won't retire until his contract runs out. He's 37 and has a major concussion.
That's what Marc Savard has done. Savard is obviously never returning to hockey, but he has yet to say that he has retired because it will hurt the Bruins' salary cap.
As far as I...
Am I the only one who likes this deal?
Spacek has been so injury prone. He's also very old in hockey terms. And sure, Kaberle is locked up for a few years at a high cap hit. But with good reason. He's still a great defenceman, and the only reason he's been struggling is because he's been...
Went out to watch this game.
Fantastic playing by Crosby. First shift he was noticeably rusty, and he missed a pass in favour of not getting hit open ice in the offensive zone.
But after shaking off those jitters, he definitely made his presence known. One has to feeling happy for the guy...
For anyone who doesn't understand the 1-3-1 forecheck, this is the cause for concern:
I have mixed views on this system. Tampa uses it because their forwards are so strong, so if they force a turnover they already come back into the offensive zone 3 on 2 or at least over-matching the...
Datsyuk finally turning it up in the last three games. He's coming off two multi-point games. Zetterberg, also, has definitely had a better November than October.
As RipCity32 said, you can't keep top talent in hiding for long. Chances will eventually start bouncing their way, and it looks...
The Pens are already playing so dominant this year. Just imagine them with the addition of Crosby.
Pens did this right, concussions have ended stars' careers in the past with the likes of Lindros, Richter, and Lafontaine. The Pens, let alone the league, couldn't afford the loss of their...
Yeah, we should all move on from this. Pacioretty has, and he's playing the best hockey of his young career this season.
If Pacioretty wasn't able to play hockey again, or if this had been in the nature of Bertuzzi on Steve Moore years ago, maybe this case would have some validity.
