Anyone could be playing goalie for the red wings next year. There are quite a few options via trade or free agency. Some notables are Belfour, Biron, Luongo, Gerber, JS Guegierre (sp??), Nabokov...I think a lot of people assume Osgood is back but only as a back up...he might be able to challenge for the starter position. But the Wings have a lot of capable prospects including Jimmy Howard, Stephane Liv, Drew McIntyre, and Joey McDonald. So who knows :S

Fantastic! I finally found a fellow Sabres fan in YA. Where have you been? I've been posting in a desert here. The Buffalo Sabres are the surprise team of the NHL this season (along with the Carolina Hurricanes) and I'd love to think they can win it all... But there is the dread Buffalo curse ("NO GOAL" vs Dallas in the 1999 Stanley Cup final and of course the Bills' 4 straight Super Bowl defeats in the '90s), so try not to get your hopes up too high. Whatever happens, we have the best young goaltender in the league (Ryan Miller) and a club that works hard and plays like a team. We have as good a chance as any of the favourites. Let's Go Buffalo!

There is no doubt. Tom Renny is in the running for the Jack Adams Award (best coach), Hank is in the running for the Calder Trophy(rookie), and Jagr is almost a shoo-in for the Hart and Art Ross trophies. As for the person who said "D", I dont think we have the best offensive defense, but they are excellent in their own zone. And with Jagr, you dont really need the D to contribute much. The only thing that can be held against them is experience. And youre very right, I cant wait until the Carolina game.

I've got to disagree with Biggie...GAA can win the Hart (2002 Jose Theodore, 1998 AND 1997 Dominik Hasek) though it is rare compared to the point-getters taking home the hardware.  With all the buzz surrounding Jagr's production this year, he became the media favorite, but since his trade from Boston to San Jose, I'd say Joe Thornton deserves to be the league's MVP this season.  At the time of the trade, the Sharks were not a playoff team, and the offense generated by Thornton and Cheechoo propelled them into the five seed (while Jagr's Rangers went from first in their division all season to third, and sixth in the conference).  Thornton's 96 assists and 125 points were tops in the league.\n\nWhile Kiprusoff may be as deserving as anyone in the league, including Thornton, this NHL season was all about increased offense, shootouts, and wide open hockey -- it will be tough for a goalie to take home the Hart for the next few seasons (if for no other reason than image-reform).  Get the Vezina ready for Kipper, though!

My head says yes, and i hate myself for saying it. With as much talent on the team as we have i think Babcock is going about breaking up the trap the wrong way. I think (and i realize that he knows a bit more than me) that instead of splitting the talent over all 4 lines he needs to Bring Zetta and Datsyuk back together and put Willie with them for a speedy tricky line that can break past the trap. And Legacy needs to come out, he's given up to many easy goals, especially in game 3. But i do give props to Edmonton. I always hated them, and now i hate them even more, but MacTavish had put together a smart style that has shut down the wings "explosive offense" (in MacTavish's words)perfectly. If the Wings can't beat the trap then they are out to the Oilers.

I would like to see the Rangers win the cup.  I think that they will end up being my surrogate team (seeing as both Minnesota and Phoenix have not a chance).  Unfortunately though, I think that the Wings will end up beating the Rangers in 6 games.

I'm a Devils fan, but Stevie is my favorite hockey player of all time. It will be sad to see him go. But, they all have to some time. He's one of the last true greats that was loyal to his team through thick and thin. So was Barry Sanders for the Lions. I guess there is something about playing in Detroit that keeps people around. Stevie, if you go we'll miss you. But you have done your job. If you feel the need, we'll understand. Cheers!

No knock on Crosby but Ovechkin is the total package. His blend of talent, effort, skill and intensity is unrivaled. I think he's the most complete rookie I have ever seen, and I've been following hockey since I was 4 years old. It staggers the mind to contemplate the fact that he will only get better! If the Caps can begin surrounding him with talent, he'll achieve the heights previously known only to Gretzky and Lemieux. He's just that good!

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.

Not sure what is wrong.  Caps started off doing pretty well, now have lost 6 in a row :-(   I agree that Semin should help Ovechkin out.  Let's hope both can get on a roll - remember still long time to go in the season

Yes!  Barry Melrose, the analyst/commentator, was pretty bias.  But it seems he roots for the underdogs.  I've seen him on Sports Center many times ripping on the Wings, Avs, Ducks, any team that's not Canadian...  I think he also has some connection to Boston.  I'm not 100% sure, but I think one of his sons' played hockey there.  I looked at his bio on ESPN.com, but couldn't find anything.

I am a disfranchised Hartford Whalers fan who loves great goaltending. Marty's my boy... guess I'm a Devs fan by proxy.

Cheap hit?  An Edmonton player knocked the Carolina player into him.  \n\nBut I agree, it's a shame his season has to end this way, and it is a shame for Edmonton to lose him now.  I think he still has a chance to be playoff MVP (depending how the series finishes) for his stellar play in the first three rounds.
