Thx my friend. Besides being a seer when it comes to relationship advice, you are a man of your word not that I ever once doubted it. But now you can clearly see Tampa is the real deal this year...not the worst thing too be wrong about that as they should be the best chance too put the Philes out of their misery as we don't want them making it to the Cup finals.
That my friend would suck and be very stressful for all of us to have too deal with. You and I are now officially huge Lightning fans and I do mean HUGE Lightning fans...lol
To come out of the East, 100%. But I’m pulling for the winner of the Colorado/Dallas series. I really thought we’d see a Colorado/Boston final. Looking more likely to be Tampa/Vegas.

I have Tampa Colorado on my NHL.com bracket challenge and tho it's not looking all that great, I'm not giving up either. If Colorado holds on too this 6-3 lead which who the heck knows in this bizzaro world series, all the pressure is on Dallas for Game 6 seeing they lose that one, I'd be shocked if the Av's don't pull it off in 7. We'll see how it plays out.

Fun fact: Corey Perry once scored 50 goals in a season....lol
In all seriousness, he's had a solid NHL career and was good for awhile...arguably really good for fantasy purposes for 5 year stretch but his fall from grace came very very quickly.
He really needs to hang them up. Surprised quite frankly he still has a gig.

Corey Perry won the f***ing HART trophy. Insane. Him and Hall will be the only Hart winners not in the HoF , right? Now that Lindros got in.

Ya know...never thought about it that way but yeah your right both Perry and Hall will almost certainly not be in the HOF.
I've got a hunch Jamie Benn will go the same route as Perry has. He's already started the downturn for past 2-3 years since a 4 year stretch of greatness. Alot of power forwards have this shit happen too them as all the punishment they give and take absolutely takes its toll. Hopefully Krieder doesn't go this route tho he's never played as heavy a game as Perry or Benn play. But still it's a concern going fwd.

Was still a good pick on draft day. Can't really complain about them going boom or bust in the 3rd
You love it. Admit it!

Perry was always an interesting Hart choice for me. He was always very good, but not really someone I thought of as one of the top players in the league. But there was that one seson where everything more or less came together.
Even that year, I felt he was Anaheim's second most important player, maybe even third --- but Getzlaf missed 15 games and Selanne was out for 9 of them.
It was almost like a perfect storm. But it just felt like, "Corey Perry? Hart? Really?"
Personally I had St. Louis and Sedin ahead of him.

Perry won his Hart in the last few days of the season by getting to the 50 goal mark. Daniel Sedin definitely should've won it

Domi Danault Poehling to NYR for Strome, Hajek, Andersson and 1st (Canes)?? too much
Domi didn’t get along with the coach in Arizona and now it’s seems to be the same story in Montreal. No interest. None whatsoever.

I wouldn't mind him here depending upon the price we'd have too pay. Domi on the Rangers could be a damn good fit and with the talent he'd be surrounded with would it really be surprising if he couldn't get his play back to his 2018 form?
Besides that...his Daddy played here and was beloved. I think we as a fan base would love Domi as his style of play is certainly enticing.

I recall that year I thought Stamkos would win the Hart and when Perry won it I was like "huh?". Perry did score a ton of goals the final quarter of the season to somehow win it. But yeah there were a few others who easily could have won the Hart that season...the aforementioned St.Louis and Sedin, Iginla had a Hart worthy season as well.
When I thought about Perry it was that for "fantasy purposes", he was one of the top guys too get as he chipped in PIMS and filled the scoresheets. But from a NHL point of view, I never once ever said "holy shit...Corey Perry did that"....lol
So yeah...it really was a "perfect storm" for Perry. That said...it's time for him to hang the skates up. He hurts Dallas more than he helps them from what my eyes see.

I use to be a lot more interested in Max Domi than I am now. He is not his dad. He's very average in a lot of things and he can fight for his size but he's not that physical really if that's what you're looking for.

Galchenyuks potential always was so enticing with his 30 goal 2015 season dancing in my head and so I even drafted him in my longtime big money league 2 years ago after the deal too Pittsburgh thinking he either plays with Sid or Malkin...no way he can screw this gift horse up...right?.....ooopsie!
Needless too say, not one of my better draft picks I've ever made...lol

If Bergevin accepts that offer, he should be fired on the spot
Yeah...no question that's way way too much for Bergevin too accept. Heck I'd still consider doing it even if Danault was taken out of the deal....lol

He doesn't need to be his Dad and you really can't compare the two. Tie was great as fighter/agitator. Max has more talent in his left pinky toe than his Dad did and he has a bit of snarl too his game and pisses off opposing teams which we could definitely use.
I dunno Domi is still just 25, he obviously plays center, a crying need here and the way he played in 2018 I was sold on him hook line and sinker and can't strike that from my head. I think he's well worth the gamble and I can see Quinn and the rest of the coaching staff insuring Domi stays in line.
As I said before as well, with the talent he would have surrounding him, I think depending upon what Montreal would want, if I'm GMJG, I'm on the horn too Bergevin now before the draft too see what's what.
