The Bruin owner is an idiot. He is behind all of these deals. First Thornton now Samsonov. I am glad he traded him out west (Rangers Fan)...Sergei should thrive with the Oilers.

I think Florida got the better deal. Bertuzzi is now showing how over rated he always was. He's nothing, he's a goon and he won't be able to perform without some one like Naslund there feeding him pucks. I've never hated Todd, but I've always hated the amount of attention he received, I think he's an excellent third or fourth line winger who can rattle teeth when the time is right, but other than that, he's not much. I think Vancouver will probably be kicking themselves when they see Allen emerge as a top player in Florida. As for the goalies, Auld will be good, Luongo will be good. They are both at about the same level right now and I don't think Luongo will keep asking for all this money once he realizes that with the cap in place, nobody who has a glimpse of the playoffs in there dreams let alone a chance at winning the Stanley cup has enough salary room to afford him. He'll have to settle. And as for the whats his name that Florida sent over with Luongo, he's a flash in the pan, I think the Vancouver scouts made a big mistake in wanting him. We'll have to see how things pan out during the next season though. The true test of how good the deal was will be when the goalies show us what they've got. I personally would have liked to see a straight across trade, Auld for Luongo. That would have been better for Vancouver. Now let's see if the Oilers will be stupid enough to trade Chris Pronger...

Close but no.  Pronger has been great, but as a team the Oilers were consistent and Roloson was HOT.  He is actually third this year so far behind:  Joe Sakic and Scott Neidermayer.  Colorado would not be in the 2nd round but for the leadership of Sakic.  This is his team and he shows up every night and leads the charge.  Neidermayer was the best player in the Ducks-Flames series and stabalizes the whole team.  So my top 3 are all out West.  Which means someone from the East will win the Cup.  My pick as of today: New Jersey

Tampa Bay beat Calgary in 2004... Mighty Ducks didn't make the finals that year. I think they did in 2003, when they lost to the New Jersey Devils.

Picking up those three defencemen doesn't seem to have been the solution.  I think that this season is a lost cause for them.  However, Mika Noronen is an improvement over Cloutier.

A team dresses one back-up goalie. Conklin just so happened to be the back-up that night.\n\nBesides, I think the Oilers had lost that game already by the time Conklin came in.  They had blown a huge lead; it was their game to lose no matter who was in net.

He went there because he was going to get sent down to the minors. He said he would rather play over there to get better and hopefully come back to the NHL later on.

jazzie please be joking.  assuming you are, i cant imagine a worse general manger. my favorite trade of his....getting kvasha and parrish from florida in exchange for luongo and jokinen. as for the bruins, yes i would.  rebuild.  everybody out.  a few names stay...hannu toivonen, bergeron, stuart [who is really underrated], axelsson, and boyes.  that team needs help.

Changes are needed, focusing TOP DOWN; New GM was a good place to start, but, until further changes in upper management is made, it doesn't look like things will change all that much. \n\nOn the ice, I liked the goaltenders; I think that Raycroft was off, mostly due to contract stuff at the beginning of the year, and he never got on track.  Toivanen looked good, until he got hurt.  I have no idea what to think about Thomas; he came out of nowhere, and was impressive.  But was it an illusion? We'll see; as he is signed for a few years.  If all 3 goalies round into form, one could be used in a trade.\n\nThe defense showed some promise; young defensemen (Alberts, Jurcina) began to look OK after some coaching by Ray Bourque.  Need some help there, especially mobile defensemen who can move the puck thru the neutral zone.  More players like Brad Stuart, less players like Hal Gill.  Gill has a place, but as a 5th or 6th defensemen, not so much ice time.\n\nBiggest need will be with the forwards; need more scoring punch to help Bergeron, Sturm and Boyes.  Hopefully Axelsson will come back.

Moore from Colorado got suckerpunched to the back of the head from Bertuzzi on Vancouver Cunucks. This was in the 2003/2004 season

No, I bet he'd rather be on anaheim, go MD's!!!! He would make a good fit on the oilers though and I bet all the nhl teams would want him.

I'm very upset to see thhe great season down the drain. but hopefully this will teach them a lesson for next year. I'm not gonna make excuses here, just facts. Lets see, Edmonton, first off, did one hell of a job. Pronger played like he needed to and Roloson showed up hungry. The Wings went in overconfident I think and Edmonton stunned them for the first 2 and 1/2 games with their great teamwork, goaltending, and lets not forget that tricky neutral ice trap style defense that worked out great. Detroit was not slow at all. In every game since game 2, Detroit controlled the tempo, had way more ice time in the offensive zone, and nearly doubled Edmonton in Shots on goal. The wings did great, they got great scoring chances but just weren't finishing on them. Stevie Y and Lang were in the trenches of every play of their shift. Zetty scored at least one goal every game. Maltby did one hell of a job blocking the passing lanes and forceing turnovers on the power play. Shanny had many of opportunities. It's not that we didn't play well. We had the chances, but just could not convert them into points. Now don't get me wrong on this next part, I like Manny Legace a lot, but every game, he allowed over his goals per game average and in nearly every game he allowed 2 goals within the first 10 shots and one game where he allowed 2 goals within the first 7 shots. Ya can't do that in the playoffs. They couldn't pull him and let ozzy play, cause ozzy was injured. I think Manny is an excellent goaltender, but he just had a really bad playoff run. Possibly due to inexperience. I just hope they don't fire manny for it. He got us the Presidents Trophy and he's been one hell of a backup for the past few seasons. lets not forget when we had Hasek and Kujo, Legace was third string and both Kujo and Hasek were injured and Manny played nearly as many games as Dom and Kujo combined, and we won the presidents trophy that year too. I say keep Manny, he just needs more experience as a starter. Hats off to Edmonton for a series well played. they won fair and square. All except for the third goal that was reviewed in game 6. It was def hit down with a high stick that the refs didn't call and then a very controversial kicking motion. but oh well. Maybe next year for the Wings. (((( KEEP MANNY LEGACE ))))
