I always wonder about some guys... they won it all (and some, multiple times), as their career winds down, do they really want to go chasing another one after playing a whole career with one team.

I get a guy like Bourque going to Colorado. That makes sense.

I dunno.

What if the potato is evil?

I guess it depends on a multitude of things, such as what their family situation is, what the opportunities actually are in terms of contending teams looking for their services, how badly they want another cup... even if they don't win another one, as you're implying those core guys in PIT will have had great careers.

give it some sauce and some cheese, and let poutine take over the world...

edit: obviously not Putin though, lol.

wow, I just realized that this song is actually titled "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", I always thought it was "in the garden of Eden" because of that simpsons episode

classic !

Why would Malking move when he wouldn't be THE MAN on Dallas?
- AdamFrench

most overused joke in here

Supposedly they knew this might be coming and so have already had discussions with the Penguins about adding Malkin later in the season.
- BINGO!

well they have a shot at a cup allright...

I guess the answer varies a lot from one guy to another ?

but Testosterone man, I mean we get heated playing in local leagues, really wanting to win and all, imagine at the NHL level ? I can see it easy to get motivated !

Joel Armia says hi..

Why take an old broken down Malkin when they could have Dvorak and Armia for just another $1million or so more cap hit?

More than enough space with the Seguin LTIR!

Joel Armia says hi..

more of a confidence issue in his case imho

Like I said, I get it for guys that never won.

And maybe even for guys that won once, especially if they were young or were not a main part of the team back then.

Yeah, players play to win.

Sure.

But at some point, your chances to win a cup depend on so many factors, being traded to a good team does not mean you are gonna win one.

He’s Confident that he can’t get motivated?

on another note, it will be interesting to see what the Stars will do with Seguin off the books for 4-6 months...that 9.8M

then Realised that Benn will be UFA, thats 9.5m...
- Xizord

perfect. seth jones can back home.

- pete26

he's motivated to be the best player he can be, but not confident enough to fully use his skills...?
