its not getting attacked, its generally people just pointing out their opinions and disagreeing with your statement. Thats no more an attack than you taking something personal.
- Joel_Eh


no, you're missing my point. Someone saying 'eller is much better than bolland because.....' is disagreeing.

saying 'ya okay genius leafs suck and keep dreaming 1967 blah blah blah' is a stupid attack.

I'd rather have Price in net for Team Canada than Lou. Laugh all you want, I don't think Lou has the confidence to carry the team at this point, and Price has all the talent in the world.
- TheJerseyDevil1


I agree with most of what you say... but Price has had problems of his own last year after a great start.

If he's playing his best hockey, I believe Price is easily one of the best goaltenders in the world.

Sadly, he has yet to show it on a regular basis for a whole season/playoffs. Always has some stretches of bad games. Last year it happened at the end of the season + playoffs and we didn't have the team to win without him being at least very good.

I expected people to disagree on so many parts of this stupid lineup.

But Price being in net was not one of them.

kessel > pac
bozak < pleks ( i gave you that one but you're too angry to notice)
kadri > eller
lupul >galchenyuk (we're talking TODAY)
jvr > gallagher
clarkson > briere ( i know habs fans don't like players who hit and fight but try to wrap your head around physical hockey.

so to answer, like i originally said, for NEXT year only pleks cracks our top 9.

- clark_griswold

Kessel > Briere
Bozak < Gallagher
Lupul < Pactioretty
JVR< Eller
Clarkson < Galchenyuk
Kadri < Plekanecs

I haven't been following it that closely but I remember hearing some critics of the goalie coach situation up there? Maybe Carey'll hit his stride when the season gets going and take some momentum into the Olympics.

Yeah, hiring Stéphane Waite as our goalie coach can only be considered a good thing... the guy did very well with Niemi and Crawford in Chicago so I'm happy he gets to work with Price.

Hopefully you're right about the Olympics, I except team Canada to pick the "hot" goaltender when they make their choice, could be Price, or another.

i didn't know briere was on your first line. I also didn't know gallagher was your first line centre. Eller must be a second line winger for you and saying he's better than JVR is a comple joke. Pac vs lupul would be close it could go either way but it should be kessel vs pac. But yeah, creative.

Forgive me for speaking this bluntly, but this is an incredible stupid conversation/argument. Someone had to say it.

I'd be inclined to agree

Or he's just such a good debater that his points are completely lost on us...

I'd go so far as to call him a master debater.
