He's got a pretty good beer gut.

Guy is going to look like Keith Tkachuk once he retires.

What he hell man? Dude needs a treadmill.

You guys can make fun of this all you want.

But this is what peak male performance looks like.

If the Panthers lose, it will be the greatest collapse in professional sports history

Moreso than Bills losing in 4-consecutive Super Bowls?

Moreso than Bills losing in 4-consecutive Super Bowls?

Definitely yes. There's far more scope for psychology to have a material impact in hockey, compared with the "chess with steroids" of NFL football.

Yankees in 2004.
Especially given the intensity of the Yankees-RedSox rivalry and the fact that they had dominated the Red Sox for over 85 years...to the point where many believed in a curse.

Of course not.

I think if Florida scores first they have a good chance. Florida looks tired now, but a momentum shift in the final game could spur them on to win. They haven't had a lead since Game 3. Both teams seem to be tough to beat when leading. I hope Edmonton scores early again. Early and often.

This series, the team who scores first is 5-1. Florida is 9-2 when they score first these playoffs, the Oilers usually score first, they are 13-5. The first goal in game seven could be huge either way.

I just hope whoever wins there is no controversary and the boys in the review centre in Toronto can take the night off.

He's definitely going the way of the O Dawg.

Do we know which officials are getting the game?

NM

• Jean Hebert #15 – 13 seasons, 96 playoff games, 2nd Cup Final.
• Steve Kozari #40 – 18 seasons, 148 playoff games, 5th Cup Final.
• Dan O'Rourke #9 – 23 seasons, 199 playoff games, 7th Cup Final.
• Chris Rooney #5 – 22 seasons, 167 playoff games, 7th Cup Final.

O'Rourke and Rooney based on experience?

If pld can be traded Gally can be traded

Not without retention.
I don't see Hughes committing to retain for 3 seasons.

Nah. That was in the ALCS, this is for the Cup

Gally isn't 25 and didn't have back to back 60+ point seasons before last year.

The only thing I know is a game 7 victory for Edmonton would be good for hockey.
I mean the last time it was done in a Stanley Cup Final was so long ago no one even believes it's possible.

Who are they going to loan him out to?
Don't want that distraction on your farm.

I hope several posters on this board have an appetite for crow.

 

[le_sean]

I hope several posters on this board have an appetite for crow.

And I hope several posters start focusing on Habs prospects instead of other teams. People talk about Michkov more on this board than on the Flyers board.

 

[Hope Of Glory]

If Philly/MM can negotiate so he comes over before his contract is over, could we do the same with Demidov so he plays in Laval next year instead of rotting in the AHL?

That is a long wait...

 

[Habs10Habs]

I hope the first time Reinbacher is on the ice against Michkov. He puts him through the boards.

Rotenberg was asked about Demidov in a recent interview (the context was about Michkov leaving). He pushed back against a Demidov buyout.

Edit: For completeness' sake, here a link to the Rotenberg interview.​

Yeah let’s put on blinders about everything else that happens around the league, in the out of town thread nonetheless lmao.

 

[Whitesnake]

The thing is this though....NOBODY in the Habs managemen have ever talked about him leaving soon or not, the decision why they didn't go with Michkov. Sure, some posters were too fast to thing that he wouldn't leave....but as far as management is concerned, it could clearly be based on a pure hockey decision. Obviously, HAVING somehow to go with a righty D, is an explanation. But maybe they didn't like his overall game period.

Not sure how him coming soon changes their evaluation.....Them, liking Reinbacher and his position changes nothing to Michkov coming today or in 5 years.

Yeah let’s put on blinders about everything else that happens around the league, in the out of town thread nonetheless lmao.

Whether, you, I or any other poster in this board have blinders or not is insanely irrelevant to what happens in any teams in the league...lol. We didn't have to power to pick Michkov....
