NHL Playoffs Opening Night – Open Thread

been saying that for years – yet, they kept all 3 so far.. who knows moving forward though

What made you think we were talking about Brad Richards??

I wonder how long Staal will want to play behind those 2. They could win cups every year but playing behind those two gives a guy little to no real recognition. At some point does he feel like jumping ship to try to lead the way himself?

What made u think we weren’t talking about B Richards?

Oh, haha.

I thought we were still talking about Sundin leaving Toronto for Vancouver and how he said that he loves playing in Toronto and how that means that just because Kessel says he loves Toronoto, doesn’t mean he won’t leave when he becomes a UFA.

I was saying that Sundin didn’t want to leave, but he wasn’t offered a contract by Toronto.

only so many $’s to go around..

we if u believe what Dreger says we offered him a higher annual average then New York.

In my opinion B Richards went to New York more for the fact that it wasn’t Toronto, he could reunite with Tortorella who he played his best under and best team with a chance at a cup while staying in the East.

bitz just leveled someone hard from behind

take that over a hit from behind or full elbow tot he face anyday
