    I dont mean in the sense of adding pieces at the deadline.

    I just mean a scary, deep lineup. A bit cheap/chippy. However, no support from goaltending. Couldnt get over the hump as it would eventually do them in.

    Except Pittsburgh has already gotten over the hump ... they have already won the cup, they are like ever team since the lockout of 04/05 trying become the first team since the cap era to win a second cup ... obviously that will change this year.

    And Fleury has a cup championship ... obviously something has gone wrong in his game, whether it's confidence or something he's not doing technically. Goaltending really was only an issue in game 2 in this series, only scoring 2 goals in 3 games with 2 former MVP's should be the concern. I'm also surprised that Iginla hasn't been moved to the Crosby line full-time ... thats a head scratcher.

    Im not talking historically, Im talking about now. And who they remind Me of. It just seemed they were going to get bit at some juncture once we saw them in the Islanders series.

    ...and when they won the cup a couple years ago they were close to gone in the first round as well.

    I don't like the bruins, I however think they are a good blueprint for building teams in the salary cap era.

    Choke or one of the greatest comebacks in the NHL? ;)

    When I think choke, I think of the Houston Oilers. The one you are talking about is just another A-Typical Leaf game/season/decade/(s).

    sucks to see the KIngs take early leads in games 1 and 4, only to eventually lose both games.

    So much for that Powerhouse Penguin team.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    I stand alone without beliefs

    I'm so happy I won't have to hear any more play-by play .. minute-by-minute of Crosby now on CBC.

    2 goals in 4 hours of hockey?
    WOW!!!! :shock:

    The Leafs should of played the Pens in the first round.

    oh well, don't feel as bad now...at least the Rangers weren't swept :fp:
    Hope either the Hawks or Kings at least makes a series out of the finals

    Rangers in 2014!

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    How old is the guy 39 ... Dallas has nobody in their system that his ice time would be better served giving it too :lol:, well Jim Nill is from the Detroit system and they like the old players :lol:. I hope he has a no trade clause, and if it becomes evident that Dallas is going nowhere he holds them to that clause ...

    I don't understand this sentence at all. But I'm guessing what you said is meant to be negative.

    Dallas has no defense to really speak of, short of Stephane Robidas and Brendan Dillion. If Nill wants to restructure and hire proper defensemen, I welcome it.
