Shock started right about the time the Bolts took Connolly instead of Gormley. And continued. Wonder what or why those two D got passed over so much? Nothing I had heard about either of them appeared to be bad. They both dropped like a lead weight for a bit.

Hello

Over at BSH we’ve discussed (for eternity) who will be the Flyers goaltender next season. The UFA crop is pretty thin, but the potential positions are even less so. I really only see options for a #1 tender in Philly, San Jose or Tampa Bay. What do you all think will happen regarding the Lightning goalie situation, I’d be very interested to hear. Is Mike Smith a legitimate #1, do you have anyone in the AHL that could be called up etc?

yeah, it’s been very mixed since he came to Tampa. we got to see his potential after we got him from Dallas and things looke good for the future. then, a certain Vinny Prospal accidentally runs him in practice, and it’s been downhill ever since. I still want to see him get one more shot though. I think if he focuses and gets his mind straight, he can be a good starting goalie.

Jay Pandolfo dislocated his shoulder in like October (at the same time Paul Martin had his horrible arm injury). He recently had surgery to repair the shoulder (like in May). I went back and read some of the stuff on Fire and Ice, and the reports said Pando had a dislocated shoulder. I guess a player wanting to be on the ice and helping his team sometimes overrides logic.

Oh, definitely. Steve Downie speared himself in the gut one night – freak accident – and he left the ice on his own power. They later took him to the ER to get checked out. He then took a cab back to the arena on his own, suited back up, and was playing in the third period. Idiot coaches for letting him do that.

you know, he’s been talked about alot and has always had high praise, but I never saw it. now granted, I’m far from being a pro scout, but it seems like he gave up the puck to much, couldn’t skate back to make up for his mistakes, and just didn’t seem like the smartest player out there.

From what i’ve seen from the comments on BSH about Parent, i take it you don’t like him. So you won anyways.

That’s why some people are pro moving him before we lose him for nothing. He’s got one year left at $5 million before he’s RFA, so the Flyers could get compensatory picks or assets now. He’s a natural goal-scorer so he’s pretty valuable

Devils have a similar problem w/ Parise. Though It’s doubtful that he gets traded, mainly due to most of the Devils $$ coming off the books in the coming years ($4.5 mil from Arnott, $2.8 from Langs, $2.5 from Pando in 2011, $5.062 from useless meatsack Rolston, $3 mil from White, $2.9 from Salvador and up to $5.2 from Marty), so it’s not a problem.

Carter isn’t the #1 star forward for the Flyers, Richards is. IMO Parise is the undisputed #1 for the Devils, and so that’s why he is more likely to be kept.

Plus Richards signed a long term contract. It seems pointless to trade someone with a long term contract anyways, Carter has 1 year and is an RFA afterwards, meaning teams can negotiate a new deal w/ him.

Bernier had a tough season, which may have been due to a sports hernia. Grabner wasn’t going to crack the top 6, and really isnt a 3-4th liner, in that his D is suspect and he certainly isn’t a grinder. The 25th pick, I’m not losing any sleep over. The only problem I have is Oreskovich. I’d much rather have picked up McArdle.

If the talent is there, why not? I mean the Bolts have guys int he system, but is it quality guys in teh system or Quantity guys in teh system?

Wow, am surprised. I know 3 other fans (Oilers, Devils and Sharks).

The number of NHL fans in NZ must be reaching double figures. :)
Not bad per capita. Surely this is reason enough to put it on TV.

Prospal is not coming back. Sorry to come off stern on this but three times already with the Bolts, and yet he is STILL being counted against the cap for his LAST time with the team, because he was bought out.
