Re: Who Tampa doesn't want to see in the fin

FWIW, I don't think Tampa is worried about anyone. They may still 'beat themselves with overconfidence, or hit a hot goalie, or get out coached, but they are just as likely to bulldoze.

Chara - 1 more year

Took a cap friendly deal of $2M with ~ 1.7 in incentives. He is 42 now, but ... only McAvoy and Krug play more minutes per game, and anchors the 3rd best defense in the NHL.

If he is willing to take on this kind of contract, happy to have [more]

Re: Leafs Playoff dilemma!!!

Not a dilemma. Playout the string and rest Anderson and accept being the away team for Boston. Don't over exert in an effort to catch Boston. Montreal is on the bubble, and may not even be able to get to where Toronto is now. Falling to them [more]

Re: Overheard - surprising

How can a team have only 4 (Vegas) or 6 (Leafs) fighting majors in 70+ games. That too is nuts.

Re: Eastern Conference

Lightning clinch Presidents' cup ... with still 9 games to go. And with the team behind them (Bruins) having the second highest point total in the league. Nuts. They should rest a plenty.

Re: Freddy Andersen

I recall last year that he was near the top in games played for goalies. His backup had good numbers and the playoff situation was not in jeopardy, yet It looked like they overplayed him.
