As bad as Pistons Darko right ahead of Carmelo, Bosh, Wade and Lions Ebron ahead of Aaron Donald, OBJ, and Lewan. And it's not like Zadina ever even got remotely close to flashing high level NHL skill. Even when a guy fails you can usually see where the attraction was - he shows you something occasionally where you can see where the potential was. We never saw Zadina do anything on NHL ice that even teased he could be a top level player. I think there was one season Blashill did have him doing a decent job as a fore-checker (a 4th line job), but that was it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothfacekilla Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Word I've seen is that the Wings would have taken Bouchard if Zadina wasn't there anyways. Still would have worked out way better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordstanley Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 Oilers, wow. Didn’t see this coming. I guessed tonight would be 6-2 Florida. 4-2 with a couple of empty netters. Instead it is 3-1 with 12 minutes left in 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Pretty terrible last 30 min from the Oilers. I didn't think think they where going to wake up in time to hold on in this one and that once the Panthers went 6 on 5 they'd be sure to tie it up, but pulling the goalie seemed to finally wake the Oilers up a little.

Return is a future first (draft after the upcoming one) and a 23 year old D prospect. So would probably be like a future first + Johansson or maybe Tuomisto. Not a huge overpay but decent amount for a 34 year old goalie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Florida is giving away the Stanley Cup. Their defense looks terrible, Bobrovsky hasn't looked strong in net the last two games, and their powerplay is non-existent. Edmonton is going to win the Cup now it seems, they've got all the momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I really think Edmonton is going to pull this off tonight. What an incredible series this has been. Some of the games haven't been the most exciting to watch as they've been one-sided affairs. But to see Edmonton battle back game by game is itself exciting as hell.

lordstanley Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 2-1 Florida after 2. Good game so far, although 2nd period didn’t sizzle like the 1st. Edmonton will be dangerous in the 3rd but will Bobrovsky slam the door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
