If the Pens make the playoffs, Sid the Kid is the MVP. He might be regardless, but I think the Pens making the playoffs cinch it.

I know I'm probably biased being a Devils fan, but Brodeur should get a strong consideration for MVP. He leads the league in shutouts, wins, and is second or third in GAA and save percentage. Without him the Devils are nothing, so he shouldn't be overlooked.

All players mentioned have strong cases. Luongo in Vancouver as well. Pronger in Anaheim too I'd say, but his injury and time off might knock him out of the running.

I didn't even know they played today, im talking about possible making the playoffs tool.
Like no other team has blown a 3 goal lead, give me a fucking break. Even if they blew and 3 goal lead, oh, they still fucking won. |

Philly looked fast last night. Don't know if this is a turn around for them or just a one game thing.

Supposedly the Oilers are gonna see how Ryan Smyth fares on their road trip, and may trade him if he doesn't do so well. Not sure how smart of a move that would be considering he is the face of the franchise, and the flat out best player on that team. They'd better get a team leader for him, and not something like the Thornton trade last year.

We need a huge win here tonight. Would put us 6 points out and keep our streak going. Huge roll right now ... keep it up Bruins.

Forsberg is a scratch against the Leafs tonight. Rumour is Forsberg to Nashville for Scott Upshall, Ryan Parent and a couple of draft picks.
Would be an amazing trade for the Preds. Sullivan, Kariya, Forsberg=

Seems to be confirmed. Upshall, Parent, 1st round pic, and 3rd round pick for Forsberg.

FORSBERG TRADED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FORSBERG TRADED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/artic...15_191535_2880 To Nashville -Peter Forsberg To Philadelphia -Scottie Upshall -Ryan Parent -1st round pick -3rd round pick. Short term - this might ('might' being the key word here) be a tremendous deal for the Preds provided that Forsberg stays healthy. With Forsberg, Sullivan, Arnott, and Kariya up front, combined with the fact that they now have two legit #1 goalies (one of which might get traded for even more forward or defensive help), the Preds are now the odds on favorite to win the cup; no question. However - the Flyers got an amazing package for this as well. Printer and Upshall have pretty big upsides. Those added 1st and 3rd rounders are also great for an organization that is clearly rebuilding. Personally? As a Canucks fan, I am GLAD that we didn't get Forsberg. For one thing - his health is in question. Secondly - there's a huge chance that he'll go back to Philly (or even Colorado) once the season ends (from what I hear). Looks like the Flyers were asking for quite a bit, and I'm glad that Nonis didn't bite. VERDICT: -Great deal for the Flyers (short and long term) -Potentially great but potentially bad deal for Nashville. That's a lot to give up on for a guy who might not be 100% healthy and most likely won't re-sign at season's end. Anything short of winning the cup will be a disapointment for the Preds IMO. p.s. HAPPY FLAG DAY! ![]()

wonder if this will get the ball rolling on more trades. I think once more teams feel they are out of it, and that will be soon, you'll see more of this. Teams don't want Nashville to trump them on the run for the cup.

Gonna be interesting to see what Kenny Holland does in Detroit. He is not going to take this lying down

I heard rumors that the Rangers were interested in acquiring either Tkachuk or Bertuzzi. Martin Gerber will also probably be moved (more than likely to Tampa.....if Anaheim/SJ/Nashville's asking price for one of their goalies is too high, then Gerber becomes good trade bait). Leafs might be looking to re-acquire Gary Roberts (Leafs will NEVER be sellers since they're in constant denial about being cup contenders :P). Montreal will be interesting. I've heard a lot of Sheldon Souray rumors, but I doubt that Habs will move him. Samsonov could go if he's part of a package (maybe to SJ where he'll be re-united with Thornton). As far as the Canucks go, Nonis has gone on record stating that he won't make a deal unless it makes sense (i.e. not selling the farm for a top player who'd be a UFA at season's end). Nonis said he wouldn't mind adding another defenseman or a center than can play with Naslund. |

Even if Forsberg does get injured, Preds are still a huge contender. As for the Leafs, good God, if they hope to make it past the first round (if they even make the playoffs at all), they've got to make a big move.
Of course they won't, as Ferguson is a moron. |

Buffalo's been bitten by the injury a bug a bit, and their lead over the Devils is only four points, so I wouldn't say they have it locked up.

As for the Forsberg trade, I really like it. It gives Nashville an even better group of fowards, and without him they were already first in the west, so they should only get better. I always wants the Devils to win the cup, but if they can't Nashville would be a nice team to get the cup.

Def hoping for a Nashville cup win (you know, in the unlikely event that Toronto doesn't win it
).

Oh man, did anybody see the Flyers/Ranger game? Knuble and Shannahan had a collision in the middle of the ice on the blue line. Neither man was looking and they nailed each other inadvertanly. Shannahan had to be taken off on a stretcher, and Knuble got a cut above his right eye, and needed some help off the ice. Knuble is going to have an x-ray. Shannahan was possibly out cold. It was a scary incident, and hopefully both player will be able to be okay.

I would say I'd like to see Nashville win the Cup, but there is talk that the franchise might be moving because they can't generate the money from Corp. Sponsors. As far as I'm concerned, with no disrespect to the players and regular fans, them winning and then moving (perhaps) in a year or two, puts a sour taste in my mouth.

Talk of them moving to Seattle. (forgot to add) a team in Seattle would be good for helping cut down on the travel west coast teams have to endure, but my hopes still lie with a Winnipeg franchise.
