serge 904 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Unless some unforeseen comeback in both series I am hoping for Boston to have a Bill Buckner like loss...Feel our pain. All the teams I have backed are losing or lost..so be careful Hawks fans. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I dont think we will lose players like Malkin.. But we will lose a lot of players like Maxim Afinogenov I hope you're right! And thanks for those stats Zach, I didn't realize the numbers were so low. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 There were 6 goalies each of the past two seasons. Hmm...can I name them? Bobrovsky, Bryzgalov, Nabokov...Khabibulin...Varlamov...I can't get the last one. Link to post Share on other sites

Fenxis 99 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Does this help or hurt Wiercioch? Helps. Patrick Wiercioch In the early days of fantasy hockey, Wiercoch would have been a legitimate sleeper going into next season, what with year-end stats (19 points in 42 games) that were good but not amazing. But in this era, Wiercoch is on everyone’s sleeper radar, which means the temptation to grab him might lead to you drafting him far earlier than he should be selected, or trading too much to get him. Wiercoch does look to be poised for success at some point, but that still might still be a bit down the road from now. The reality is, in the 17 regular season games that Erik Karlsson played Wiercoch only dressed for 12 and had a grand total of four points. At this stage, I’d let someone else draft Wiercoch in a one-year league, as the chance that he breaks out is a lot less than him having a season that would lead to disappointment given the price it would take to get him. What this "crack" analysis is missing is that with Karlsson around that would have put Wiercoch at least 3rd in the o-dman pecking order. Note: actually sounds like the KHL-Gonchar thing is just an offer at this point . But possible given it's a) his last season b) he'd probably only sign for 3-3.5 M in the NHL c) Sochi. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

There's no guarantees that just because Boston did well that Toronto would have. Link to post Share on other sites

I would expect Gonchar to sign extension with Stars but has KHL offer. Mike Heika: Stars acquire defenseman Sergei Gonchar from Ottawa. Hope to sign him to a 2-year deal. http://t.co/Z58gL2esec Seems insane to give Gonchar a 2nd year; I'd do one NP. Link to post Share on other sites

At work today my boss asked the foreign driver if he was Russian or Ukrainian, to which he answered, "I was born in the USSR, but now it's Ukraine"... so both. Link to post Share on other sites

Fenxis 99 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Sarge was pretty good this year, wasn't he? The Pens really still haven't replaced what he brought. Except for the last two games of the playoffs vs Pittsburgh and the first ~month of his contract he's been pretty good for the team. Esp, given all of the injuries to the defence, he's had to log a ton more minutes than he really should have. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 He can still play. Man, he's probably not quite there, but I wonder if he'd get any HOF buzz when it's his time? Link to post Share on other sites

Consider me ashamed. Also, the actions of the fans along the glass is equally, if not even more disgusting. First one of you that comes back with the "But the Czech guy was taunting" excuse loses my respect for at least 15days. Link to post Share on other sites
