wow, post #900 in this thread!! congrats to us
we saw how far those 'stacked' teams (det, col, phi, tor, nyr, dal) went the last couple of yrs, i think its more about team defense then anything these days. car, ana, and cgy dont have near the skill as those other teams, but they made it to the final base on great team D (and of course a super hot goalie). i think the domination of 'stacked' teams are over, at least for a little while.

I think it's consistient playing and the will to win and keep winning

[superkaratemonkey]

im sure 99% of the players in the nhl have the will it takes, but consistency is really hard to come by, even for superstar players. when the stars are align, then your team will have all their players playing at the top of their game and u'll win the cup

[trizz251]

well if most of the team of stars just don't care and have no ambition to win cause they all touched the cup b4 and they are just playing cause they want more money, then they are a big losing team who doesn't care

[superkaratemonkey]

haha, ru talkin about the rangers??

[trizz251]

well who else

[superkaratemonkey]

mabbe philly, and wash from a couple seasons ago, mabbe u can say dallas too.

[trizz251]

I don't think philly, but wash and dallas for sure, they are one of those slacking stacked teams

[superkaratemonkey]

philly constantly have like a 60M payroll but havent made it to the final since 97

[trizz251]

but now philly is a strong team, maybe even a nhl power house in the near future, all i know is colorado, detroit, toronto, new jersey is up there now, and teams like vancouver, tampa bay, philly is going up there

I heard the time usually reserve for Hockey Night in Canada... is now broadcasting movie... host by Ron Mclean... but not Don Cherry.

[superkaratemonkey]

why would they want ron mclean to host a movie broadcast???

[James Ko]

why would they want ron mclean to host a movie broadcast???

No idea, I assume maybe he already sign a contract might as well have him do something.

[trizz251]

don't don Cherry has a contract too, so he should be on too

[James Ko]

don't don Cherry has a contract too, so he should be on too

Maybe a different contract because he just sign one after last season and probably the folks at CBC knew that there might be a strike which would void the contract or something.

While Ron McLean has a different contract and probably get paid regardless of the hockey season so they got to have him doing something...

[superkaratemonkey]

then again ron mclean is mr. everything for cbc, aside from HHIC he does olympics and other stuff too, so i guess it make sense. its just dat hes usually doing sport stuff and movie just doesnt seem like his forte

[trizz251]

doens't ron mclean also do the nhl awards and that canadian broacasting award thing, the emmies?` can't quite remember correct me if i'm wrong

[superkaratemonkey]

i know he does the nhl award, not very well tho. if i can fall asleep during the ceremony, something must be wrong

[trizz251]

i skip it every year i don't think he's good too, so i just catch it on nhl.com and see who won, but i doesn't matter who wins, it's just recognition that's all and ya my roadrunners beat the bulldogs 3-2 OT yesterday, that's one win on the chart, man it's gonna be a great season, can't wait for your moose to showup in town

[superkaratemonkey]

dont mess w/ my moose, king have 7 goals in 4 games
