The West is gonna be a yawner folks, 1-0 and 2-1 games all the time, every time. I hope the Oil can put an end to this trend towards defensive hockey soon.:naughty:
Yes, that's accurate.and Carolina, a nontraditional hockey market that overachieved and beat a Sabres team that had its 19th defenseman playing 45 minutes a game because of injuries.
The blues....Finally, out of R1 for the Coyotes, yay. Who's up next?
2 of the last players I want to see raise the cup!I would like to see Lundqvist, Laich, M. Richards raise the cup most of out players who are alive.
i wish i didnt like people who wear suits for the predators so much• Nicklas Lidstrom said Barry Trotz told him "please don't retire"; on the Detroit Red Wings' Game 5 loss, the captain said: "I haven't had the feeling that this is it."
Only reason why Nashville wants that is probably because they don't want to lose Suter to the Red Wings in the offseason when/if Lidstrom retires.i wish i didnt like people who wear suits for the predators so much
and radulov
its a good thing i have compelling reasons to root against phoenix anyway but this feels dirty
That's backwards on Detroit and I keep seeing this: Detroit is farther from being a legitimate contender without Lidstrom. The incentive to buy players is higher with him, not without him. Cap isn't an issue either way.Only reason why Nashville wants that is probably because they don't want to lose Suter to the Red Wings in the offseason when/if Lidstrom retires.
My statement was mostly sarcasm. I really don't think a coach would be stupid enough to tell an opposing captain to "come back" because they want to sign another player.That's backwards on Detroit and I keep seeing this: Detroit is farther from being a legitimate contender without Lidstrom.

Detroit will go after Suter either way if they get the chance because he makes them better long term, but it's less attractive without Lidstrom rather than more because the need to rebuild is more obvious.
Given that he said it in the handshake line I kinda doubt it was tactical by Trotz either way. He's a classy guy who said a classy thing. Don't read so far into it.
