Hell yeah that Suter/Weber pairing is pretty killer!

As long as we have Forsberg (Peter) and Volkoun, we'll be fine. I'll miss Upshall though. I think Radulov is the spark this particular franchise needs and I think he'll be around for a long time.

David Legwand has been a rock for the franchise. This might be finally his time where he gets the recognition he deserves.

I’d make eye contact with him and fart. I did it all the time for like two years. I didn’t even know his full name, just heard that his coworkers thought he was a nut for complaining about “the guy who would fart on me in the break room”

Some luck arrived along the way.

For example, there was hidden good fortune in a trade request from Martin Erat – a lifelong Predator with more than 700 games on his resume – during the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season. He delivered it directly to Poile while the team was on the road in Edmonton.

"He comes up to my room and says: ‘I need a change, I don’t think we’re going to win here,"’ said Poile. "As a manager, you never want to hear that from anybody. I tried to talk him out of that for basically two or three weeks before I even made a phone call, or what have you, and he said ‘No, I’ve got to get out.’

"So we weren’t going anywhere that year and he had a no-trade contract, and to make it worse he only gave me a few teams."

The list was "no more" than five. One of the teams on it was the Washington Capitals, who were trying to get over the hump and had a highly regarded prospect named Filip Forsberg in their system.

"I called those teams and I said: ‘Here’s what I would take,"’ said Poile. "And actually, in my own mind, I was prepared to wait until July 1 because then Erat would have one more year left on his contract and I thought that maybe might even get us more.

"So I just told the ‘X’ number of teams that this is what I wanted and Washington said ‘yes.’"

Also, Barry Trotz and Ovetchkin have 37 years of NHL experience between them and neither has been past the second round of the playoffs.

It's amazing how many people who watch and follow hockey still believe in TYOOL 2017 that defense is only played by defensemen.

Anyway, have an amusing quote from the crack team of hockey experts at NBC Sports:

quote:

Now the guys from the place that calls itself “Smashville” have a chance to become the first franchise to win the Cup in its first try since Carolina did 11 years ago.

How DARE they forget the world famous "BBC" line of Rod Brind'Amour, Erik Cole and something called 'Bates Battaglia'!
