it is stupid to trade away goaltenders when you have price as your starter. the queers of quebec will certainly be rioting a little early if that scrubber plays 60+ games.

how did it feel to lose last year to a team with an inferior goalie to price?

NHL11 demo is sweet!


So sharks pick up Niitimaki from tampa. I hope he can help out some. Sucks that Nabokov had to go but clearly it was time for a change. Nabby goes to flyers. Bittersweet.

haven't tried it yet.

not a bad pick up for you guys. a very decent goalie, but certainly not a game breaker. Once in awhile he will steal a game though.

welcome to salary cap land...

I predict that Carey Price will be the most hated man in Montreal by next New Years.

he already is since the halak trade.

i predict that by NYE we will still have a 23 year old goalie that has won at every level...if he sucks or is a god (that is how it works with hockey in this city) either way this is the year that the experiment is either over...or gainey/gauthier look like geniuses.

remember marc andre fleury? he sucked anus, but when he won the cup everyone shut up. Price has a better skill set/pedigree. Goalies take longer to mature, so it is put up or shut up time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carey_Price

his numbers are good...the team is average at best.

price blows and they should have traded him when the hype was huge.

nice troll, but i'll humour anyways.

-chl goalie of the year

-whl goalie of the year

-he won the ahl championship in his first professional season.

-he won the ahl mvp

-led canada to junior world championship gold (6-0, 2 SO, 1.41 GGA, .961 save percentage (which is beyond insane, and if memory serves me right is the best save percentage ever in the history of the tourney)

- also won a silver for canada at a the same tournament 2 years prior.

-he is the only goaltender in hockey history to be named CHL Goaltender of the Year, World Junior Championship's tournament MVP and win the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy, all in the same year. He is also the only goaltender in hockey history to win the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy the same year as playing junior.

at 23 years old he has these nhl totals:

gp = 134

w = 60 l = 48 t = 18 GGA = 2.73 save percentage = .912

all of these stats are way above league average, he plays for a mediocre team at best, he plays the hardest position in hockey ,(non debatable..posiibly even the hardest position in all sports...goalie for the montreal canadiens. there are not many teams in sport under the microscope 24/7 like the habs, and the position has always been for the lack of a better word intense.) and has still managed to do this way before the majority of nhl goaltenders have played regularly in the nhl. (can't find the stat but i believe that the average age of entry (2o games + per year at least) is around 24 years old.

not to mention he is 6'3"...but yeah i can see how he has never accomplished anything, nor why a team would want to draft a player like this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc-Andr%C3%A9_Fleury

his numbers are better than this stanley cup champ was at his age...and fleury went through the same hype machine as price. when fleury matured and was surrounded by a better team, he realized his potential.

the biggest downfall to carey is that he is not mature enough yet and was rushed into the fold without properly being taken under the wing of the team. the habs made that mistake, not carey.

first, it's funny that you use the word troll. you never post anything useful in any part of the forum and there are even threads about how you are the biggest troll here.

second, if we start taking non-NHL into account then you must think chris drury is wayne gretzky along with a lot of others who have shown promise, but never amounted to anything.

he's gotten toasted in the playoffs and was responsible for getting umberger a sweet deal. queerland clamors for the next roy, but this guy isn't even brian boucher. with more playing time, his numbers will be worse. just think about when he's tired in front of that mediocre d. who is going to bail him out?

youalso bring up fleury who still sucks. he's just on a stacked team that the league favors. easier to play goalie when your team is on a constant powerplay from the no-touch rule on cindy.

he is 23 years old, you still live in the armpit of america.

carey wins.

better than living in the san francisco of a second rate country that nobody gives a shit about. besides, you've never been to nj. there must be a reason why so many wealthy and successful people choose to live here.

as for price, winning is something he doesn't do. he doesn't do this because he blows more cock than your whore of a mother. take his dick out of your mouth, get off wikipedia, and turn on a game. maybe you'd see this too...

the NHL wii game looks immense

give my best to snookie and tell new york thanks for financing your state by dumping all of ts garbage there.

new jersey, the garden state..should be replaced by new jersey: new york and pensylvania's toilet...i've been to jersey many times...i even have seen a habs vs devils game. you guys have such an amazing fan base. the place was half full, and your new building is in an area that makes the state look so rich.

ps luongo had worse numbers at 23

well seeing as i'm a rangers fan, your insults fail. if you think all of nj is newark, jersey city, and the meadowlands then you fail again. the state is rich, go look it up. some of the most expensive and best places to live are right here in NJ. you're probably just jealous because you could never afford this place in your wildest dreams. after all, playing garbage tech house in a dingy club (basement) to 15 chin strokers wouldn't do much to pay the bills.

Oh, I think i just found out who jchab87 is on the espn forums. hahah...hahaha...hhaa

anyway, luongo is decent, but not the best. In the olympics he looked shaky to say the least and his playoffs haven't been great. of course in queerland, they always think a frenchy is better than they actually are. hell, remember when huet was playing there and they were kissing his ass. he sucked, but nobody in queerland wanted to admit it.

Wow this took a turn.

i love josh gorges...thanks LEN for letting us have him!!!!

Ya no prob...cuz Rivet really filled the gap. Fuck that trade.

not to mention that we got a 2nd round pick that turned out to be max paciorety...by no means a superstar and really young...but i think he can be a good 2nd or 3rd line player one day.

people who don't want to sift through pages of stories on the flamers and queefs. espn hasn't missed a big story and unless you are playing fantasy (nerd), you don't need to hear about every 4th line scrub that gets signed.

i'm pretty sure that if we had sex, zombie bob probert would return to destroy everything.

Khabibulin was sentenced today. Think the Oilers take a shot at Niemi?

Associated Press

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Edmonton Oilers goalie Nikolai Khabibulin has been sentenced to 30 days in jail stemming from his Arizona drunken-driving conviction.

The four-time All-Star received the sentence Tuesday in Scottsdale City Court. He was also fined $5,100 and must enroll in an alcohol-treatment program.

He was ordered to report to jail Saturday, but that could be delayed because he's appealing his sentence.

The 37-year-old played for the Phoenix Coyotes from 1996-99 and still has a home in Paradise Valley. He was pulled over in his Ferrari on Feb. 8, after the car was clocked at 70 mph in a 45 mph zone.

Police said an officer smelled alcohol and Khabibulin was arrested after a field sobriety test.

Khabibulin signed a four-year, $15 million deal with Edmonton last year.

Stay Classy Kahabi!

CHICAGO -- Former Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Antti Niemi has decided to accept a one-year, $2 million deal with the San Jose Sharks, according to a league source.

After helping lead the Blackhawks to their first Stanley Cup title in 49 years, Niemi and Chicago went to salary arbitration. The Blackhawks submitted an offer of $1.5 million, but the arbitrator awarded Niemi $2.75 million.

Montreal should have made a move on him. This will be a nice replacement for Nabby.

good pickup for a great price.

the habs did not even have him on their radar...it was just rumours.

San Jose just needs one cup for now. They have been loading the team up with two year potential guys just trying to get to the big show. Will Niemi be the missing piece? Doesnt seem like the sharks made many big moves this off season. This news is about the biggest. Damn I wish I lived back home and could go to the practices and see how they are looking.
