Yeah, Grats to the Hawks on their Cup, they deserve it.

Now Toronto is the longest without a cup

And props to Phillys unsung heros, Boucher and Leighton.

A bit premature for me to bring this up, but during the coming off-season months:

Is Price as good as gone from the Habs now? Halak demonstrated that he is a franchise goalie. Or do the Habs cash in on Halak's playoff value and attempt to gain some star power in the goal scoring department?

Hate to see Price traded away, he had a great "prologue" with his junior career, world junior performance, Caldar Cup performance in Hamilton, but he's hit some stubling blocks with the Habs and his development as a successor to Roy and Dryden.

Lecavalier? Could he return to being one of the league's elite with a move to his home in Montreal? Or would he cumble under the extreme attention and pressure with playing in Montreal with such high expectations?

edit added:

Do the leafs make a push for the playoffs? Do they still have a first round pick for next year's draft? Do they continue rebuilding in hopes of a high pick next year? Is Wilson gone if they leafs are out of the top 8 come November?

There was rumors that they intend on keeping both.

Trade rumors with Philly for Halak if I remember correctly as well.

Hate to see Price traded away, he had a great "prologue" with his junior career, world junior performance, Caldar Cup performance in Hamilton, but he's hit some stubling blocks with the Habs and his development as a successor to Roy and Dryden.

That would be beyond awesome, but having three centers, Plekanec, MoneyWhore and Vinny may be clusterfucking it up.

edit added:

Like the last 4 years...

Do they still have a first round pick for next year's draft?
No, they traded that as well. Everyone knows they cant draft for shit so why not trade the picks.

Do they continue rebuilding in hopes of a high pick next year?
They would have to start to continue.

Is Wilson gone if they leafs are out of the top 8 come November?
If they win 1/8 I would be surprised.

Sharks are probably dying to get rid of Nabokov.

I'm hoping too see some changes to the Flames this off-season and I'm curious what happens with the Caps goal tending situation.

Kinda got lost on NHL.com with the Hawks winning last night.

Reports: Rob Blake to retire


Wednesday, 06.09.2010 / 4:53 PM / News
NHL.com



According to an exclusive report on Comcast SportNet Bay Area, San Jose Sharks captain Rob Blake will announce his retirement in the coming days.

The report indicated Blake is waiting until the conclusion of the Stanley Cup Final to make it official and an official announcement is expected early next week. The Sharks declined comment on the report.

Blake has played 1,270 regular games with the Los Angeles Kings, Colorado Avalanche and Sharks. Blake was a member of Colorado's 2001 Stanley Cup championship team.

He was named Sharks' captain prior to the 2009-10 season, appearing in 70 games, scoring 7 goals and 23 assists. He had 1 goal and 1 assist in 15 playoff games this spring.

Also, have to say upon reading more into the Leafs history, I have come to the conclusion that they are the most insanely fucking stupid franchise in the world.

My reasons.

1) They had the territoral rights to the first and only defenseman to win the league scoring title, Bobby Orr. They took a pass and Boston got him, albeit not cheaply.

2) 1990 NHL Draft - They had 10th overall pick, Martin Brodeur was taken 20th.

3) A player who was offered 8 million for a one year deal in 1995 to sign with Vancouver, but turned it down because the Leafs made an offer although at a MUCH lower salary then backed out due to not wanting to spend so much on an older player.

That player then went to the Rangers. He retired April 19th/1999 as the current holder of 61 league records.

Wayne Gretzky.

4) Total points by the 9 players chosen by Toronto in the 1999 NHL Draft? 1


If anyone is a leafs fan, just try to argue, I dare you.

Toronto was an abysmal defensive team before Burns and Fletcher came aboard. They scored in bunches though.

Toronto's failure in the 70's and 80's had alot to do with Harold Ballard was is quite possibly the worst owner in the history of the NHL.

The Leafs were on the way down in 95 FA so I doubt Gretzky would have made any impact so that point is retarded.

In its near 100 year history, they have had only 5 fifty goal scorers, 3 were the same guy.

Ballard hands down.

Sundin put up 90+ points the following season. Gretzky would have broken 100. Would have been only the 3rd leaf to do so.

The leafs were horrible in th 95-96 season. Gretzky wouldn't have made the difference.

Who cares if they have only had 5 50 goal scorers. Kovalchuk scores 50 every year and can't get out of the first round.

Seguin, Read somewhere that oilers intend on Hall.

Still can't believe they traded all that for Kessel. Though they do have a nice defensive core in phaneuf, kaberle and schenn.

Hoping the Leafs re-sign Kulemin, but Kulemin is holding out for alot of money. Really liked the chemistry shown by him, Kessel and Bozak.

One free agent that I'd like to see the Leafs take a run at is Colby Armstrong. Hard checker, scores between 18-20 goals, solid pk guy.

I'm guessing the Leafs are going to sign Aaron Asham since they want to fill the spot vacated by Jamal Mayers: someone to fight all the players that haven't been murdered by Colton Orr.

Dion Phaneuf named new Leafs captain


Monday, 06.14.2010 / 3:20 PM / News
NHL.com



Dion Phaneuf was introduced as the new captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Real Sports Bar & Grill at Maple Leaf Square on Monday. He becomes the 18th captain of the Maple Leafs and the 22nd in the long history of the Toronto franchise dating back to the roots of the Toronto Arenas and Toronto St. Patricks. On hand to assist with the special announcement were former team captains George Armstrong, Wendel Clark and Darryl Sittler.

Toronto Maple Leafs President and General Manager Brian Burke said, "Today is a very important day for the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Leafs have had many great players fulfill this role in the long history of the franchise, and we wouldn't be taking this direction if we didn't think it was absolutely the right step. We liked the impact Dion made with players, coaches and fans alike since his arrival and we consider him a building block toward future team success."

Phaneuf, 25, was obtained by the Maple Leafs in a multi-player trade with the Calgary Flames on January 31, 2010. He played in 26 games after his arrival and recorded two goals and eight assists while picking up 34 minutes in penalties. He averaged 26:21 in ice-time with the Maple Leafs. Overall in 2009-10, he collected 32 points (12g, 20a) in 81 contests.

The native of Edmonton, Alberta leads all NHL defencemen in goals (77), powerplay goals (48), game-winning goals (22) and shots (1237) since entering the league in 2005-06. He has played in at least 79 games in all of his five NHL seasons since entering the league in 2005-06.

He was runner-up for the James Norris Trophy as the NHL's most outstanding all-around defenceman in 2007-08 and was a nominee for the Calder Trophy as the league's top rookie in 2005-06

The Bolts should go after Price, young and talented, he's got so much promise. I could see Lecavier going back to the Habs in the deal. There's more factor than the 1 to 1 deal here.
We'll see.

Blues acquire Halak from Montreal


Thursday, 06.17.2010 / 4:36 PM / News
By Dave Lozo - NHL.com Staff Writer



Jaroslav Halak, who was being compared to Patrick Roy and Ken Dryden during this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs, had his rights traded Thursday by the Montreal Canadiens to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for prospects Lars Eller and Ian Schultz.

The 25-year-old goaltender is set to become a restricted free agent on July 1 after one of the more remarkable and unexpected runs in playoff history. If the Blues are unable to sign Halak, they will receive compensation depending on the size of the offer sheet.

Halak carried the eighth-seeded Canadiens past the top-seeded Washington Capitals and defending-champion Pittsburgh Penguins before running out of gas in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Philadelphia Flyers. Halak finished the postseason with a 2.55 goals-against average and a League-leading .923 save percentage, but the Canadiens decided to hitch their future to Carey Price, the 22-year-old who became an afterthought once Halak got hot toward the end of the regular season.

Price has yet to build on his outstanding rookie season of 2007-08, but now there is no one in Montreal to stand in his way. Halak went 26-13-5 this past season with a 2.40 GAA and .924 save percentage. Price went 13-20-5 with a 2.77 GAA and .912 save percentage. Both Halak and Price entered the offseason as restricted free agents, but it was Halak who was shipped away despite an outstanding performance this spring.

The Canadiens trailed the Capitals 3-1 in their best-of-series, but Halak stepped in after being benched in Game 4 and stopped 131 of 134 shots over the final three games of the series to spark the upset. Halak continued his heroics in the second round against the Penguins, making 71 saves on 76 shots to help win Games 6 and 7 and overcome a 3-2 deficit in that series.

It's hard to find a comparable situation to Halak's, but goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin backstopped the Tampa Bay Lightning to a Stanley Cup in 2003-04. He posted a 1.71 GAA and .933 save percentage that spring, but wasn't brought back when he became a free agent after the lockout and signed with the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Blues were looking for an upgrade at goaltender with Chris Mason hitting the market as an unrestricted free agent this summer. Mason finished 2009-10 with a 30-22-8 record, a 2.53 GAA and .913 save percentage. Ty Conklin, who is signed through next season, will likely be Halak's backup.

"Jaroslav's play in this year's regular season and Stanley Cup Playoffs was remarkable," Blues president John Davidson said in a statement. "He has had very impressive numbers in the NHL and we are thrilled that he will be wearing the Bluenote for us."

The 21-year-old Eller is a native of Denmark who spent two seasons with Frolunda of the Swedish Elite League before playing for the Peoria Rivermen of the AHL this past season. In 70 games with Peoria, the center had 18 goals and 39 assists. Eller also had 2 goals in 7 games with the Blues in 2009-10.

Schultz, the younger brother of the Capitals' Jeff Schultz, is a more raw prospect who currently plays with the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL. The 20-year-old right wing had 24 goals and 31 assists in 70 games this past season.

I hope Bob gainey, and Gautheir and who ever else all lose their heads for this. Seriously, fire them all. Montreal is making the playoffs this year, unless they sign another top 3 forward and and top 2 defence. Seriously if this is just to clear space to re-sign Plakanec than they are retarded, the guy was a non-factor in the playoffs. I expect big things to happen by way of trade, or signings or I am seriously question the sanity of Montreals managment.

Oh you mean like Craig Anderson who got hot in Florida and stayed hot in Colorado? And Halak was better then Price all season long. Stupid choice to trade away the better of your two goalies.

It's all about the team around the Goaltender.

Blackhawks goaltender sucked, but yet they were the best team. In Salary Cap era why would I spend extra money on Halak who got outplayed by the medicore Michael Leighton?

You just finished stating it's all about the team around the goaltending in one sentence, and then ignore your statement in the next. Philly outplayed a tired and undermanned Montreal team. If it wasnt for Halak, they wouldn't have gotten out of the first round.
