Carry on my wayward son!I watched many Caps games last season and his -35 was arguably the laziest, worst defensive season in NHL history by a player of his offensive caliber and hardware.

One widely reported rumor had the teams discussing a deal in which the Habs would acquire Lecavalier for Tomas Plekanec, Chris Higgins, Josh Gorges, and a prospect. That sounds like a high price in hindsight — Plekanec ended up developing into a very good two-way center — but not completely unreasonable. That is, until you hear the name of the prospect: P.K. Subban, who of course went on to win a Norris and establish himself as one of the league’s most exciting players.
If that sounds crazy, wait until you hear the sequel. According to Sportsnet’s Jeff Marek, Lightning GM Brian Lawton claims he almost landed an even bigger package: Carey Price, Max Pacioretty, a first-round pick, and either Subban or Ryan McDonagh.
Cashville:
Not here to start an argument as it's your home base. I just wanted to point out that a vastly inferior NSH team (to the current iteration) gave you guys a pretty big scare in 2010 on your way to your first cup. If that Erat blind pass and your SH goal in Game 5 doesn't happen, NSH would have been up 3-2 heading back home for Game 6.
That was the last time we met in the playoffs. Not sure why you'd write off a materially better NSH team with home advantage so easily.
From Grantland's piece about NHL trades that didn't happen.
That's just a jaw-droppingly bad almost-trade. Worse than some of the worst of the trade boards.
Montreal fans lucked out that it never happened.
Is that the trade in which one owner refused to make trade and other owner wanted it?
Thus Bettman had to block it (You cant have trade when 50% of ownership demands it not happen
At least if I recall that was situation. Also I recall Bettman unfairly getting blamed by Hab fans who screamed he was "Protecting a failed market" or something of that nature

Edmonton up 2-0 on Boston in the first.
Should've started Subban.
Edit: Well.... 2-1 now. Kiss of death.
Emelin missed hit and crashed into boards
Appears to have injured his shoulder
AgreedI don't know where to put this but Saad turned 22 four months ago and is on pace for 25 goals. Just awesome.
Chia already has that Seguin deal haunting him + Boychuk deal has been disaster
I have a hard time seeing him getting fired though given the B's have won a cup and lost a cup over last 4 years
How has the Boychuk deal been a disaster? He hasn't even picked the players in the draft yet. Boychuk has cooled down after his hot start. 12pts in last 27GP.
