I think what you posted is common sense. I believe everyone will agree except for andy. He takes the losses badly and blames Sak for all of them. It's ok andy, we all understand your frustration. I would prefer if you called the game as it was and not with Anti-Sak glasses on.

By the way Barry, you were the main one who called Theo out before and after the big contract was signed. Good call so far, this guy should have been signed to 1 year max to prove his worth. Remember last time he signed the big deal, he stunk up th joint the following year.

We need the next one against the B's.

...and your rose-colored glasses regarding Saku!

...I just thank BG that he is signed on a year-to-year basis (gee...I wonder why...who else does this with their Captain??? Anyone??? Who else has to do this? Why would you???).

I cringe to think about what centre he matches up against when Sundin gets back.

And-o, you keep singing the same tune, even though the evidence is squarely against your positioin. Saku was not on the ice for either of Lindros' goals. Get over it!

And-o. For a fleeting moment in an earlier post, You wrote like you might know something. As I read each one of your posts it becomes clear to me that you do not like Finnish people. Is that it? Because your arguments about Koivu matching up against Lindros or Sundin or whomever do not make any sense.

Like I stated in an earlier post, teams put out a checking line against the koivu line! Watch the games( do you watch the games?). Review the tapes and look who koivu squares off against. THE CHECKING LINE!!! The reason for that is most teams first line cannot match up against Koivu/Kovalev/perez's speed in this "new" league( maybe Ottawa... but the are in a class all by themselves this year me thinks).

So for you to ask how Koivu matches up against Lindros or Sundin etc is just a lack of hockey knowlegde...or is it just the finnish people you don't like?

Come on And-o. Your Koivu comments are clearly incorrect. You MUST know it and just enjoy the posts your comments get. That is the only explanation for your ridiculous arguments.

That explains it, and-o's a swede!

Well I don´t like Koivu either(although I am from Finland too), but that is his person I don´t like and I mean outside of the rink. But captains role is just like made for him and when he is healthy he is good player too cause he gives 110% all the time when he is playing. And for And-o if you are Swede little newsflash for you we don´t like swedes either

Who does? (I don't really think he's a swede!=

Let's not get off topic and let's be careful of maintaining diversity here. I'd hate to have to close or edit a thread because of uncharitable remarks.

We don't want to act like a bunch of Tuckers and Domis now do we?

See, i think there's only one guy to blame for the loss...............................Theodore.

On the first goal, he was on is back doing the bacon or something, on the second he was on is knees and off position before Lindros shot and on the third, his lateral slide was just plain aweful.

I say, put Danis in net against Boston and if he does well ride him until he screws up.

Dagenais shouldn't even play in the Ahl never mind NHL.

When it comes to Saku,I don't expect any positives to come from 'ol Ando. Koivu could score a natural hat trick and get 4 assists on top of that and we'd still hear he lost 2 faceoffs to a bigger centre.

This is a nice true statement about And-o. He loves to hate Sak. He's got a thing for big men ;)

And-o digs the jesting...and he ALWAYS shows up for taking his licks!

Just make sure all jesters are here when the foot migrates towards your mouth though!

I actually laughed out loud JohnM. I think the post was meant to be funny...

I will be here, I always am. Just make sure your saviour Bonk shows up, does he have any points yet?

Yup Muller it was a good jest towards Andy.

By the way I was watching a special on the NHL network about the 93 cup and it was Muller going through every detail of Game 5. Brought back great memories.
