PrintLast night, step one in a five step process that will result in the Montreal Canadiens missing the playoffs took place. Here's what else needs to happen to give us one hell of a chip to play in future trash-talking:
- The New York Rangers need to win both games against the Philadelphia Flyers.
- The Philadelphia Flyers need to take one of those losses to overtime or the shootout.
- The Boston Bruins need to pick up just one point in their last two games.
- The Toronto Maple Leafs need to beat the Montreal Canadiens in regulation in Montreal.
Now, that last one tells you just how hard it is going to be for everything to play out exactly as we hope so light candles, go to church, sacrifice a virgin, or whatever you need to do to curry favour with the hockey gods. On a completely unrelated note, I will be in Kingston this weekend. Onto the links:

5 minutes left in the game, Modano gets a standing O in his (likely) last game in Dallas.
Modano ties it up with just over a minute left.
Modano wins it in the shootout.
Everything that was great about the Mats sendoff last year, except he’s playing for the right team this time.

Growing up, when I first started playing hockey, I had three favorite players: Teemu Selanne, Steve Yzerman, and Mike Modano. And soon, all three will be in the HHOF. I chose wisely.
The greatest Finn, greatest captain, and greatest American to ever play hockey.
I've always wanted to be a PPP Princess. You see kids, you can be anything you want to be; so long as Jay Leno doesn't also want to be that.
Jari Kurri was the greatest Finn.
Teeder Kennedy was the greatest captain.

LaFontaine might have been better than Modano skillwise, but with the injury, well never know.
And Yzerman was THE definition of what a captain should be, with all due respect to Teeder.

I think the General is right though, Stevie Y was the captian he was, because captians like Teeder laid the groundwork on how it’s done.

Hey Minnesota remember that time we moved your franchise to Dallas where they were consistently successful and then gave you a team that made the Devils look like an uptempo offensive juggernaut?
Well Mike MODANO IS BACK.

Norm Green should really get more rat poison in his diet. Modano is an American Hero.
Considering they’ve already honored him as a Star before: http://www.startribune.com/sports/wild/15350656.html and have nothing else going for them for the last game I’d be very surprised if the hokiest team in hockey didn’t do something for the occasion.

Remeber, eight place corresponds to the sap that gets blown away by washington in the first round, which is kind of like missing the playoffs.
Not even the Toronto Maple Leafs could kill my optimism

From the MLHS article:
“A scoring winger, a veteran forward who can contribute offensively, a checking-line centre and a depth defender should be the priorities — in that order — entering the off-season, in this blogger’s humble opinion.”
Seems like a decent opinion and the writer provides some rationale/support in the article.
Seems like a good point of discussion as well.
I keep hearing Raffi Torres will be signed this summer, (a rumour anyways). Maybe he fills the “veteran forward who can contribute offensively.” Not entirely sold. But meh, maybe.
I noted Rob Neidermeyer as a checking line centre, yesterday. Maybe, maybe not.
Ideas?
Wendel Killer Joseph
hahahahhaha
no. Torres is a 2nd or 3rd line scoring threat for a team that already has a lot of talent on it. He has no place on a rebuilding team, especially considering the fact that he’ll be over paid.

You could never be a scout in the NHL; you have no ability to assess talent.

On a team lacking top level talent in the middle of a rebuild, what we definitely need is an overpaid 2nd liner.
I've always wanted to be a PPP Princess. You see kids, you can be anything you want to be; so long as Jay Leno doesn't also want to be that.
worse than having Caputi or Stalberg out there? I don’t think so. Plus, he won’t be overpaid. No one is going to offer him 2 million again.

As least with Higgins there’s hope he can score 15-20 goals and be moved at the deadline. There is no hope for Lundmark.

Yeah, it is. Higgins would eat up too much money that Stalberg or Caputi would save us and allow us to develop their game. Higgins would be a waste of a roster spot for the Leafs.

I don’t how it hurts the Leafs. According to Mirtle, Higgins is one of the best defensive forwards in the game. Sign him to a one year, 1 million dollar deal. Have him play in the 3rd line, killing penalties, whatever. He’d be a better option than Stalberg or Caputi have been. You’re not losing any offense, and you gain defense.
3rd line defensive forwards dont make this team any better. After we got Sjostrom, the PK has been chugging along at over 80 percent.

we shouldn’t just be handing out roster spots to Stalberg and Caputi. They’re only up in the NHL because the Leafs traded away 5 forwards.
And aside from Hagman and Poni, they all sucked.
I've always wanted to be a PPP Princess. You see kids, you can be anything you want to be; so long as Jay Leno doesn't also want to be that.
it bothers me that Stempniak has been amazing for the Yotes while Poni has done nothing for the Pens, except take a dumb game misconduct.

i like lombardi
he got a bad wrap in Calgary. Defensively sound, speed to burn and good offensive instincts and hands from what i saw. He just wasnt used in an offensive role, and got very little PP time there.
Now? He’s being asked to score and is doing so. I wouldn’t break the bank on him, but I’d absolutely throw a few years on him. Not sure how much cash.
Hilariously, he reminds me of a faster, slightly better version of Matt Stajan. As long as we could pay him less than what matty got, i’d be happy with that
