I hope he comes back, but that is why we should have taken anything for him at the deadline, a 6th would have been fine, not to mention may have helped with a mini tank at the end for a better pick

He'll never win a Cup............ beware of the Alpha dog in the NHL. It rarely works.

Watching these 2 teams play just shows how far off we are to make the playoffs.

I don't think you will see the " Leino " effect with him but I see where you're going.

There's just not enough of a sample size to commit a ton of assets. I think the reason Murray did the 1st for Lehner is because he knows him so well despite his lack of a good sample size. And that could seem like he gambled when he didn't think he was. The gap between 8 and 21 is massive. I wish I could find the article which showed the chances of each pick in the first round being successful in the NHL. Somewhat surprisingly and not really at the same time is that 2 has the best chances of being successful because of players like Stefan, Daigle, and Rick DiPietro at 1.



Even Bob McKenzie (frank)ed that up. Yikes. Sakic, Lafontaine and Richard?

Not a weakling player on the roster of the Pens. Every damn guy just brings it. Same could be said of the teams out West.

My take on all of this ? Fill out the roster top to bottom. Don't need a superstar.

Nashville and two VERY strong teams stand between Big Joe and the Cup

not to say I don't want to see the cup....he is 2nd on my list

1) Ovi
2) Thorton
3) Lunqvist

Big Joe is not in that league as Ovie is ...... Stamkos even. He's anti-Ovie in fact.

Only part of the solution, gotta be deep with 4 good lines.

Unfortunately OV is right back to where he ends up every year. I'm pulling for big joe and the sharks as well. I always seem to cheer for the sharks for some reason, but I think some of those guys need to be moved if they don't get it done this year

I was basically comparing him to Dirk everyone saying he couldn't win the big one this could be the year

I think I'm missing something. Who the (frank) is "Dirk"? Am in line for a ?

Also the Sharks have made the conference finals a couple times with Thornton and looked really good until Nabokov choked.

If he stays in Colorado, yeah definitely. They're the definition of dysfunctional.

The sad thing is although Thorton could do it with the Sharks....Lundqvist and Ovi are gonna have to find another team to win it with

even though they've spent their glory days with one team

*sigh*...sounds like Dom.
