If he still wants back here, we may get him for a reasonable price. No more than 2 or 3 year term I'd hope. Exactly why we won’t shop for him. He would not fit the profile of the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Dallas looks softer than I thought. Other than Benn and Marchment they really don’t make the game punishing. No matter what happens with all the Canuck UFAs they have to find a way to keep a good balance of toughness 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it hard to create a culture of accountability when you allow those pylons to disgrace the franchise with their refusal to learn how to play defence. Bouchard, at least, is a big contributor at the other end. Until tonight, nurse has been pretty bad in all three zones. Again, if they back check, commit to team defense and don't cheat on breakouts then they handle Dallas pretty easily. I'm surprised at how exposed Dallas' dcorp has been this series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 F the Coilers and anyone who posts anything positive about them. Unbelievable we have Soiler fans here. Can’t wait till your team loses and your hero, The McPimple Loser, is whining. Loser team. Loser city. Loser players. Loser fans. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteyBoeser Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Stars will win two straight and kick them out in Edmonton! or go to game seven and give them more of a heartache. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could hold the fort until Willander is ready. A short term solution if Hronek is too expensive. He knows Hughes already. Its only his penchant for injury that could be a minus. Its a risk, but worth that risk if for a short term, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckMan Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I’m against bringing Tanev back. Knowing our luck he would only play 50-60 games and be too banged up in the playoffs. I’d rather go with someone younger that might become a long term piece. Whether that’s Hronek at a good contract or someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is he will always be injured when you need him the most. It’s just the style he plays. He will never survive 4 rounds of playoff hockey. We need to go younger and bigger.

Zadarov please and thank you. We are toast if we let him walk without continuing a major overhaul. Juulsen's got a job next season, almost certainly. He's young, has some size, and likes to bang. QHs Hronek Soucy Juulsen Those are the only guys we've got so far for certain. Pretty sure Myers re-signs, same with Zadarov. That leaves one spot. Nothing wrong at all with our D-corp from last season. Another year together would do wonders, Cole out, Juulsen in. He's young, has size and likes to bang. Plus he's a RHD which is always nice. If we could upgrade Myers that would be nice. Think their plans are to re-sign Lindholm and move EP to the wing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers played some good hockey for us last season. Has size and would be happy to see him come back. Worked well with both Zadorov and Soucy. If we could somehow get them both then we'd have a formidable blueline. Juulsen as our 7th D is quite the luxury. QHs Tanev Zadarov Hronek Soucy Myers Too good to be true. Out Mikheyev, Garland.

-dlc- Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 The Oilers outhit Dallas 47 to 24 last game. You have to smash those idiots and get them rattled (their egos think they shouldn't be touched so it puts them behind as they whine). When they go untouched they prance all over the ice....more physicality, please. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league has wanted a Final with the Rangers (their biggest US revenue club) against the Coilers (with their biggest promoted star player) from the start of the season. We almost overcame the blatant cheating. Dallas will do it. And hopefully Florida can too. Stick it to the league. Cheating bastards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely not give up Garland to get it done; just causes more holes up front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beartooth Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 As for " Canada's " team. The Canucks had 9 Canadian players. Dallas has 15 Canadian players. The Oilers have 24 Canadian players. I'm a Canucks fan but can't stand the Oilers so it's Dallas for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip The Mesh Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I did some soul searching late last night, because of all the talk about, "Well yah gotta root for the Oilers because they're the last Canadian team left, and two things hit me. 1) There are different nationalities playing on all NHL teams. 2) The Oilers are one of, if not the most arrogant bunch of players in the league. I do believe I dislike them more then Boston. These dudes gotta have their aspirations dashed.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
