Souray
(Preview)
What is everyone's take on him? I love his PP work, physicality, and leadership, but am concerned about his zone work and decision making. Can he survive as a top-four in a faster NHL? Can he make the adjustments so he doesn't become the Pylon Highlight of the Night?

Why I'll be upset if we let Danis walk
(Preview)
Recently there has been a lot of talk that Bob is going to keep Aebishcer and Huet which would pretty much put Yann Danis on the outside since he is a unrestricted free agent. Danis is a great goalie and could be a NHL starter in a couple years and he could certainly fill in well as a backup for Huet.

So it has finally come to this...
(Preview)
The "Canes" have eeked their way all the way to the finals, fueled by poor officiating and fluky goals. We had 'em beat, and now they're the ones who made it all the way, lead by Staal (whose face closely resembles a poodle's anus), Brind'Amour (whose face looks like roadkill), and...

Should Gainey...
(Preview)
Should Gainey allow Francis Boullion to ride off into the sunset or resign him?
Personally I like the depth that he brings and he fits the new NHL mold as far as mobility.

The Blueberry - A Return With the Habs?

What is up with the rumors about Mario Tremblay joining the Habs' staff as Ass Coach? Ass is just an abbreviation for assistant or is it? Can you tell I'm not to keen about the rumors?
Seriously though, I have nothing against le bluet but why bring in someone who created such a soap opera while he was hea...

Setting Huet's marketvalue to the Habs...
(Preview)
And-o has been just absolutely blown away by the perceived value of Huet to the Habs in terms of a dollar figure per year.
Perhaps And-o will try and make his point with a simple question...
...given that Craig Rivet makes $2.565 million and Radek Bonk is making $2.394 million, do you...

"Conky" or "Juicey"?

Anyone think Pronger could strap the pads on for the 30 other minutes he isn't carrying the...

Salary Cap Game
(Preview)
Well Bettman says that the revenues are way up (record in fact) and that the cap will look something like 44 million next year. At that pace, I would not be surpised to see cap of about 48 million 2 years from now. The question I have is this: Will George Gillette move up with the cap or will he tie Gain...

Oilers/Canes
(Preview)
Okay, so I did so well with the Buffalo/Caroline series (not) thought I'd give it another shot and go for Oilers in 7.
Guess I'm a Pollyanna but I think Buffalo would have won if..........
Any takers?

Oilers/Hurricanes Game 1 Thread
(Preview)
Watching Game 1. Pronger just scored on a rare penalty shot by a defenseman.
That's one of those calls that (1) if it works, makes the coach look like a genius or (2) if it doesn't work makes him look like a fool. It worked this time. That Pronger is hot!
Great to see Rem Murray play...

The ref made the right call against Carolina to give the Oilers a penelty shot and they showed their class by sarcasticly aplauding the ref, Pitiful reminds me of when Tucker put up the white f...

About the Oilers...

1. There were at least three teams in the Eastern Conference that could have/would have beaten them in the finals.
2. Without Chris Pronger, they are just plain 1st round'ish.
3. And-o is here to tell you all that they won't even make the playoffs next year!

Bad Rule

I don't want to make excuses for Buffalo losing (even though I was cheering for them), but that rule about shooting the puck over the boards in your own zone being a penalty should be changed. It cost Buffalo a goal last night when Brian Campbell shot it over the glass, and of course Carolina score...
