I have all the faith in the world they will choke like they always do in the playoffs.

To make it to the Stanley cup they will have to get through Tampa Boston and probably Carolina. I just don’t see it happening.

Their goaltending is once again suspect. If they win it’s due to either Murray or Samsonsov going on a run more then anything else. Depending on who they play I wouldn’t be shocked in the least if they are out in the first round again.

Koivula = one of the most intensely boring players I’ve ever seen in my life.

We can only hope that PP1(the players from pp1)wasn’t out the shift before the penalty was called AND they score real quick to never give that abortion of a line a chance to get out there.

No they don’t. Barzal, clutterbuck, Bailey, Wahlstrom. That’s three players from our top 6 that may be out the rest of the season. Pretty crazy.

Ahh, got ya. On a separate note, we have not had enough suck for Lou to move players for assets, IMO. I read today that Armstrong GM of blues may be using assets from Taresanko and RO’R to go after Meier. If so, that’s brilliant. I’m hoping Lou doesn’t think the Isles have a chance at getting through the B’s, Canes, Rags, or even Leaf’s and makes the appropriate moves at or before the deadline to help this team next year and in the near future.

Lou thinks if we get in we have a chance to win the cup. He thinks we can get through all of the teams you mentioned. I for one do not think the rangers are that strong if a team. The rest yeah besides the Leafs. I think ROR will help but don’t think their goaltending will hold up but who knows. Sometimes goalies go on runs. With all of that said Lou thinks this team can win the cup and he’ll throw whatever he can at it to try and make that happen. Problem is we don’t really have anything left to throw.

The only what I see Lou making a move at this point is if the team goes off the rails between now and 3pm March 3rd. Then he becomes a seller.

I highly doubt that anything will fall in his lap to add.

Soldiers we have are the ones that are going to battle. There are no reinforcements coming out of the tunnel.

Edit::: with Barzal out I could see LOU doing this.

Miller inked a massive new seven-year, $56 million extension with the Canucks back in September. It feels like trading for Miller and his hefty deal would be a major risk for any team to take on, though he would immediately bring in top-six-caliber scoring to any playoff contender.

This years 2nd, next years 1st, Dufor, and Salo

When Butch says it's a good start for the 4th line and Brendan says that's the 3rd look out

Holmestrom koivula and Johnston may be one of the worst lines in nhl history

Don't wake up ross .......Butch we used to say that about gillies.......

What a God awful analogy, Jethro is a hall of famer and Ross is in his 7th game of the year and has more pims that time on ice. I know he's not saying ross is gillies but man that's so far off

I think he’s comparing them as far as throwing ‘em down and in no way anyway else

Amazing because the jets owned that 4 on 4 and set up a great play and sorokin bailed them out
