Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

[dash]

Can't get more bargain bin than promoting an assistant like Cameron - unless Woodcroft gets the axe and finds his way down south. Image him and Cameron working on a Flames power play together.

My team has a history of bargain bin shopping for head coaches, no chance that Coach Q was coming to Calgary even if he was available.

Have i got a bargain for you !!!

But on a positive note, Spencer Foo has his first career NHL goal tonight.

yeah, isn't that something.
Horvat seems OK.

Leafs did the Devils a favour by playing their worse goalie last night instead of taking the revenge they so surely should have pursued (no I have not yet forgiven you for this: New York Islanders - New Jersey Devils - April 8th, 2007).

(They’d probably make the playoffs anyway)

Nice to see Hall get some playoff games. Kincaid was very impressive in goal. Building sounded pretty loud. Things looking up in Newark.

Brodeur and Roy only others. They were saying, in order to accomplish this you need to be a phenom, you need to get in the league at an early age and win the starting job. Fleury probably has the best shot now. Lundqvist is the closest but he'd need about 50 games played the next 4 seasons.

"a VERY important points"

I think that was a great game. Pens did what the Pens do (quick strike attack), and the power play was a difference. But 5 on 5, the Jackets held the Pens down, invisibled Crosby and got a couple softies on Murray.

Nuticaara, Sedlak and Foligno get back this could be a good series. The two teams are as close to a coin flip as you can get.

Speaking of favours, my father told me that the reason they pulled the goalie so early last night is because Lamoriello wanted to help the Devils make the playoffs. Apparently the GM makes the call on that kind of stuff.

The New Jersey Devils have never clinched a playoff spot without Lou Lamoreillo in the building

Still.

I mean, maybe Babs looks up at the press box and sees Lou scowling in his general direction and just takes it as a hint?

Good to see the Devils in the playoffs again. Hall in the playoffs will be nice.

If I was a lottery team, I'd see if the Devils don't play that night and if they don't I'd invite Taylor Hall to be my team's special guest for the lottery. If that is considered tampering, then I hope Jim Benning doesn't frequent the hoop.

Evgeny Malkin is a piece of shit and should be suspended for the next, say 7 games.


Smith could have gotten really fucked up. Only a double minor.

Practically anyone else in the league gets booted.

On another note, congrats to Sid for playing in all 82 games in a season for the first time in his career. Good for him, Gotta be a huge relief for him.
