To SJ.

Anyone know if the draft lottery is going to be televised? Not seeing it on my TV guide.

San Jose seems to be a good fit, but who knows, Lack could fetch more!

Anyone giving the Pens any love? Are they done if they don't win tonight? or can they eke out some wins at home and actually make a series of it?

I take you are not a fan? (Rangers are looking good, though, and when you can hold Crosby and Malkin off the score-sheet it could be a short series)

Whatever makes the team better. If Lack could be moved for a good young player that is still cheap, that might be the better move.

I like Lack more than Miler. But part of the reason he is so popular is the fact that he is the backup and an underdog to a certain extent, besides his easy going personality. If or when he goes through a rough patch, it will be interesting to see how he tackles the adversity and how the general public reacts.

Of Crosby? Great talent, but no, I'm not a fan of his - at all.

I think Vancouver fans would (and yes, I hate to use this word but...) riot if they traded Lack (although if it did end up giving us a quality roster player and/or combination of good roster player and high-end prospect, anything is possible I suppose.

Good point, however, with respect to how Lack will handle adversity. As thus far, things in general have gone very well for his career. Inevitably, there are going to be down periods and we will have to see how he handles such situations and whether he can retain his focus and positive attitude.

I remember you you're the one with the signed Lemieux onesy

Yes, Crosby is certainly a polarizing figure. You either love him or hate him, I don't really thing there's much middle-ground. It will be interesting to see what happens in the off-season if Pittsburgh gets knocked off in the first round (Babcock perhaps?)

If Lack was part of a package deal to Buffalo , no one would complain

Things have gone pretty good overall. Good record and stats, not outstanding, but pretty solid. Really hasn't faltered much to question his ability to bounce back. Seems inevitable though that a goalie will have a rough patch.

With the cap and it's unknowns, trading Miller sounds like the smarter move. But we will see what options present themselves, that damn goalie market.


Fun game to watch last night.

Lemieux was arguably the greatest talent ever, he was a whiner too, like Gretzky; guess it comes naturally to those guys.

Buffalo might be a good trading partner - they've certainly had a bit of a goalie carousel the last couple of years and could use a talented and up and coming backstop. I'm not sure what kind of package we would be able to get, however, as Lack is still a bit unproven (see comments from Hillbilly about him being able to handle adversity in the future). I think quite a lot will depend on how he fares the rest of the play-offs, as the pressure increases exponentially each game/round.

He is 10 times better than what they have. And cheap


Buff GM just said he would listen to offers but it needs to be huge

ok, no Zogg gift basket for you, Monsieur Lefty! yes, the timeless argument of who was better - it definitely provides for some quality (and lengthy lol) debate. But yes, at least we both agree that each player had his share of whining

Are they really doing to draw this out for 30 mins?

I have a feeling Buffalo will win the lottery, which is good for both them and Arizona...two great talents at 1 & 2.
