Red Baron 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 While Begin can be an agitator, his offensive skills lacked any real threat. Clearing up him and Dandenault gives Montreal a bit of room to find a PF for their playoff push. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 That game was awesome. Got heckled and yelled for much of the game, but the Leafs won in the end. Vesa Toskala is the worst goalie of all time. Jason Blake is the man. The hit on Hagman was dirty as shit, leave it to Islander fans to boo the penalty. How rare is two SHG in a game? Because I saw that tonight and I think it's really cool.

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 That Witt elbow on Hagman was disgusting. It was bad because of Hagman was trying to deke around Witt. He should get two games for the suspension though for the elbow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2009 So, I know I'm the new hockey fan around here. But I've watched all 55 televised Kings games this season (including Kings/Wings which is on now), 4 games online that weren't televised, the occasional game between other teams, and I've attended nearly 20 combined ECHL and NHL games. The one thing I still don't understand about the sport is this- why do guys get kicked out of the faceoff circle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the other hand, he's not gonna score 20 anywhere else in the league, since no team is going to stubbornly give such a Clydesdale first-line ice time for eight seasons.

Haha. Antropov also is streaky, it seems like he'll go weeks without scoring a goal. He's really not that good, as CG said, he's lucky that the Leafs are the only team that think he had some potential. I remember when he was included in every trade rumour for a big name player, and the Leafs wouldn't budge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate the fucker but a top 4 of Chara/Pronger/Wideman/Ward all but guarantees conference finals. And most likely you will be losing Kessel, Bergeron or Krejci in this deal. IF IF IF any of those players are involved, the deal isn't made. Period. Chiarelli understands what has gotten the Bruins this far has been their young players stepping up big. To trade Kessel in the midst of his breakout year would be stupid, as would selling low on Bergeron. Krejci might just end up being the best of them all. For one of them to go would just be crazy. They can fit Pronger's salary in by dealing Kobasew and assorted parts (Lashoff, Stuart) and draft picks (though the Bruins do not have a 2nd this year).
