Joel Ward's pretty good in Playoff Hockey

dude, i'm at work and i was jumping up and down out of pure joy :sweetjesus:

:awwyeah:

Holtby had to be the most unexcited post-series win interview I have ever seen haha.

Rooting for the Caps. Great victory

Then hes gonna go deep in the playoffs

Good job
i can never root for the caps tho, just my opinion
I can see Philly steamrolling through the east

Dam glad it was joel ward who scored that goal! guy was a beast against us last year in the playoffs

with boston out in the first round, it makes our first round exit sting a little less :)

Go Caps! Clutch goal by Ward. The brother beats the Bad News Bruins! Bye bye bitches!

He's goooood
a little too wild for me...needs to smother the puck better.

The interviewer was kind of a dick IMO. Basically said, "You sucked so bad in the AHL 2 months ago, you got pulled. What happened?"

it's weird but...i feel so...at calm and at peace with the universe right now.

Holtby shoulda said , "I turned on beast mode."

holtby pretty much said that he felt that playing in the nhl was an easier step for him because he feels like he's able to rely on his defenceman and guys to help him more. where in the ahl it was the opposing team vs him. i guess in the ahl it's more about personal stats than a team thing? everyone is trying to pad their stats to make it to the nhl.

However, most players that move on from the AHL to the NHL have okay to moderate stats. Ex. Kesler only had 58 pts in 78 games before being fulltime with the Canucks.

Holtby is just unflappable and very composed. Holtby starring down Pevs like a boss :fullofwin:

Hm.

Toronto is a good trading partner, they got a few players who would improve the canucks. Schenn and steckel forcing manny to retire?

i wouldnt want schenn on this team, id rather take the chance with connaughton. seems like lu wants out if hes submitting the list.

That is very interesting.

Given Gillis accused Burke and Nonis of tampering before the Sedin's got signed, can't let something like that get in the way of business if it makes your team better.

That being said, Burke is on record and has strongly voiced that he opposes front-end loaded contracts. However, like Elliot Friedman said in his blog, a GM when looking at a player thinks to themselves, would this player help my team. In Toronto's case, a good goalie could have been the difference between the playoffs and not. Does Burke push hard for this in an effort to save his ass.

What would Toronto have that the Canucks would want now?

I'd really like to see Clarke MacArthur ^^

Schenn.. :heckno:

gardiner or their 1st otherwise fuck the rest of their team lol

Alternate angle. Not slowed down. Holtby, what a boss.

You mind telling or showing me where you found this? Cuz the only article I can find has Shero saying "'Our goal is to re-sign both of them''. Meaning Crosby and Staal.
Penguins sticking with Bylsma, core of Crosby, Malkin, Staal
