it was crow's time. he hadn't done anything with a stellar group and he had to get canned and bear the punishment. I think that they will stick wiht the triplets (Carter and the Sedins) but Jovo is next, then watch for Bert and Morrison. Maybe watch for a new goalie to be brought in.

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...

Ok.  definately not Mike James for Giricek under no circumstances.  I shouldnt even have to explain why on that one. James and Nacbar for Miller and Smith is a maybe.  If you are struggling in producing assists you might want miller since he averages 8-10 apg.  But then again Mike James is a pretty good scorer and if you have 20 managers mikes james might be one of the best on your team.

Hi there.\n\nLegace will not come back.  Ken Holland, GM of the Red Wings, confirmed this.  He's not back.\n\nIMO, he is gone due to 1st round exit.\n\nThe Wings have a history of doing this, impatience, most recently CuJo.  I remember that when CuJo and the Wings lost in the playoffs, his team only scored like 12 goals in front of him.  Clearly not his fault.\n\nFurthermore, Legace had a great season and doesn't deserve to leave.\n\nI hope that the Leafs sign him -- they need a starter.\n\nAnyway -- I want to address someone's post on here.  Detroit, is not a good team.  Their record, is obviously not indicative of how good of a team they are -- it just shows that they're in a bad division.  Out of 24 games played with St. Louis, Columbus and Chicago,  Detroit won 21.  They also went into OT at least two times with them, and lost.  That's 44 of their 124 points, bringing them down to 80 (obviously they wouldn't have lost all 21 wins).

They'll go past the first round of the playoffs then lost in the 2nd round. They've got a bright future ahead though.  With two great goalies (if they keep them both), they'd be a threat for a few years. GO HABS.

Well for starters don't listen to that idiot above me  hollisterdude57'. He's been asnwer all the questions like this. And all he talks about is CHuck Norris. \n\nALLEN PARK, Michigan (Ticker) - Coach Rod Marinelli watched Shaun King have some success with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now he's hoping King can do the same for the Detroit Lions. \n\nKing, who did not play at all last season after spending 2004 as a backup with the Arizona Cardinals, signed a one-year contract with the Lions on Friday. \n\nIn Detroit, King will compete with Dan Orlovsky for the backup job to Joey Harrington. \n\nThe Detroit Lions now head into Phase Three of the rebuilding process. Having solidified the coaching staff and the new aggressive philosophy, they now have to weed through their 53-man roster and look for three types of players: playmakers, role-players and dead weight. \n\nOf course I think it may take a couple of years for anything be to be noticed.

I am extremely happy, I hate them, and all of their players. They are a bunch of conceited assholes!!!! I think losing serves them right, since they always seem to think that they are above and better then everyone. The owner sucks too, he things he and his teams are the best that there is, WRONG. I am hoping that the AV'S win, but it's not looking so good.

Make him the GM  Get rid of John Ferguson.  It appears his decisions on Belfour, Lindros, Sundin, et al were not as expected. Its his players who are not performing.

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.

I think he is done for the playoffs for sure. When he got clipped, it looked pretty bad, and i doubt the Canadiens want to risk any further injury by playing him. He'll be back next season.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!\n\nAZ, SF & Det are all gonna' stop playing hard, and checking out the youngsters very soon.

very nice team!! however, brad miller is out for about four weeks, so you might want to put him on the bench.

they boo him because back in the day, he either injured Marco Sturm, Owen Nolan, or Patrik Marleau in a regular season game which really messed up the team finishing record that year. I think they even missed the playoffs.

Marc Andre Roy was signed by the Pittsburgh Penguins this past year. He was injured most of the year with I believe a shoulder problem.

Niedermeyer is a great choice. I like Dion Phaneuf of Calgary, too. He's a rookie, so he's going to be around for awhile.

Considering that it is a player's league, it was probably the right choice to get rid of the vagabond Brown.  Only problem is, the man running the show and wanted him in the first place (Zeke) should have just as much blame heaped upon him.  The team he assembled is absolute garbage, with too many conflicting egos and not enough leaders.  And now he wants to coach that mess?  Zeke needs to find a coach out there that can (and wants) to take the NY media abuse; if he stays on as coach/GM, his goose will be cooked by the all-star break next year.\n\nI think that the Knicks have some excellent young talent, and Brown probably helped behind the scenes in practice to improve their games, but there is no way guys like Marbury and Francis were going to give the ol' professor the time of day.  And if a hall-of-famer like Brown can't get through to them, Zeke won't be able to.  I don't care how much lipstick you slap on that pig; it is a no-win situation all the way around.\n\nRight choice to fire; wrong choice to coach.  Blow it all up and start all over again, Knicks.
