True. It's better than Russian cuisine, so I might be spoiled.

Best case scenario: They don't match and we get Mitch Marner.

Worst case Scenario: We made sure the Leafs don't get any sort of discount on him.

I feel it's still worth it.

You could really mess things up for them by offering Kapanen 4 million too, and if they dont match, you get Kapanen for a 2nd round pick

damn, the Leafs got him an iphone gig. Get my blackberry on the line, we'll make sure they match

Juulsen is my trophy wife. Marner is my girl on the side.

Alright, get the PDF form and I'll fill it out.

You think so? They're a one line team with suspect goaltending. Things could go south real quick if Smith isn't playing like a Vezina winner from the first two games.
- AdamFrench

not sure I follow the "Calgary is a one line team" logic......they have 70pt players on the 2nd line. they have a very strong top six.

if you're going to argue that one of these 2 teams is a 'one line team' it's very clearly Colorado.

I would say, of all the teams who are currently down in their series, Cgy is probably the most likely to turn it around, followed closely by Boston.

I'm not a huge Kapanen fan.

I'd rather sign Johnsson if we're gonna target a "lesser" Leafs rfa.

English cuisine?

I'd offer sheet him.

I don't care how many Juulsen's I need to give them.
- Scabeh

Marner is getting 12 million......meaning you guys would have over 30 million invested in 3 guys, and no first round picks for the next 4 years.

Marner is an incredible player, but you guys would be beyond (frank)ed if that ended up happening.

56 shots against in a 1-1 series is appalling.

Agreed.

Except for a good fish and chips.

Boston and Toronto would save everyone a lot of time if they just skipped right to game 7 in Boston. there's no chance that series is ending any other way.

you could be right about the Flames but they're starting to run out of time to get into gear.

Agreed.

Such a "beige" dish, but yeah it's good

up 2-0, Carolina at home in a do-or-die... it was kind of inevitable. those teams were only separated by a couple of points in the regular season. it's a fairly even matchup.

Well I knew the canes wouldn't go out easily, but still, a 5-0 win is pretty impressive... The caps definitely have the most talent "on paper", for what that's worth

Finnish? Etiopian? Nepali? Mongolian?

Hurricanes will be without Ferland and Svech. Could be the difference maker. They don't have too much depth at forward.

I'd take Kapanen... younger, bigger, right handed shot and he's got more bite to his game... to each his own I suppose Scab!

oh good now BINGO can come in here and tell us how Greg McKegg and Brock McGinn are basically second line players just waiting for their chance.

What about Mongolian fondue?
