From the most recent census numbers (2011) if 11 million Canadians saw at least part of the game, thats one of every three people

Just imagine if they get to the finals!

Sam Pollovk literally wrote the 67 expansion rules specifically to benefit the Habs and screw everyone else as much as possible. He basically created a dynasty by himself

I dunno, seems like a fair system to me. :smuggo:

Maybe they could soften it a bit by instituting a "cap hit per km from the player's hometown" rule.


I have this a shot for Edmonton and surrounding area, it wouldn't be that bad. The fourth line is awful (Fistric gets pressganged into being a centre because of a lack of literally any other forwards) and there's no backup goalie, but its a pretty solid top 6 and decent defense.

Ray Whitney - Vernon Fiddler - Jarome Iginla
Joffery Lupul - Tyler Ennis - Bryan Little
Jason Chimera - Gilbert Brule - Brenden Gallagher
Matt Kassian - Mark Fistric - Matt Frattin


Dion Phaneuf - Jay Bowmeester
Andrew Ference - Derek Morris
Deryk Engelland - Johnny Boychuk

Pierre ascending to general management of any team would be a dream come true for everyone. Satan designed the worst of hell for anyone who toys with my emotions on this issue.

Satan just retired yesterday, can't you give the man a break already?

I think having a single season as a legit starter where his GAA and SV% weren't average or below average would probably help. His two best full seasons he was like 14th and 15th among starters in SV% and was 10th in the lockout season where he was splitting starts with Emery and the Hawks were going ham on the league.

Sample size will always bear out the truth and his 200+ mediocre regular season games are a better indicator of his talent than ~50 playoff games. He is an average goalie who can occasionally play hot in the postseason, that's about it.

So he's Chris Osgood?

The West is better and anything else is a war on facts. If you're tired of hearing about it, imagine how western fans felt between 1990-2008.

West:
Edmonton (1990)
Colorado (1996, 2001)
Detroit (1997, 1998, 2002, 2008)
Dallas (1999)
Anaheim (2007)

East:
Pittsburgh (1991, 1992)
Montreal (1993)
New York (1994)
New Jersey (1995, 2000, 2003)
Tampa Bay (2004)
Carolina (2006)

West had the team with the most wins, East had one more cup overall. I don't know what the overall record is but there were a few west sweeping east years in there

2013-14: 21GP, 91.2%, 29.2 SA/60

Lundqvist:

2011-12: 20GP, 93.9%, 25.6 SA/60
2012-13: 12GP, 94.4%, 33.9 SA/60 ( :stare: )
2013-14: 20GP, 93.7%, 28.5 SA/60

Quick is playing worse than his previous playoffs, Lundqvist remains remarkably consistant
