Originally posted by DuBam Geesh, I just took a peek at the Edmonton roster, some players in there that I really, really like. Penner Cole Hemsky Horcoff Souray Impressive. Don't know who Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers is, but your goalie section looks a bit weak.. imo Dwayne played in Finland during lock-out, his showmanship was in a league of it's own. And a fine man outside the rink too, as far as I can tell from the few interviews I've seen. Sorry to hear that mate. I know how it feels to loose a friend.

Yeah goalie is a bit of a question mark. Mathieu Garon was excellent last season when it came to shootouts, but he still has a lot to prove. Dwayne's numbers last season were poor, and Drouin-Deslauriers has come up from the minors so he is too inexperienced to count on at the present time.

My younger brother is an avid Pens fan. He reckons they'll be a perennial contender for the Cup as long as they keep together their core of young superstars. Without a strong supporting cast, I'm a little skeptical.

Detroit are hard to look past, they have virtually the same roster plus the addition of Marian Hossa. It pretty frightening!!

Originally posted by DuBam Roenick, Ozolinsh.. Talk about getting old lolol. Still I'd say you have one of the top 5 goalies in the league, Marleau and Thornton as centers. I'd be very positive if I was you. Defense looks pretty solid too, is Blake signed?

Ya as far as I know Blake ( 1 year/$5 million), Boyle, Lukowich got picked up. Might be whats needed to shake the playoff monkey. That some good defence. Blake doesnt have many seasons left in him so I expect a machine out of him.

Im very positive about my team. Tons of talent. Torry Mitchell is out for 8 weeks so that sucks. I love watching Nabokov...the guy is outstanding.

Im pretty sure Garon will play about 60 games this year. He is a better goalie than Roloson. As far as the team goes, Cole was great pickup in the off season. The Oilers should make the playoffs this year I think.
Its pretty tough though, being a Flames fan living in edmonton. I get razzed lots, but the Flames have had the oilers number for years now.

A good day for the all the young Finns I taketh?

Sharks looked great last night. When I was at the game on thursday, they had their AHL guys in against the ducks starting 6. All the ducks fans were thinking that it was some kinda ass kicking. Last night had some starting sharks and resulted in a 5-2 win.

The Finnish Flash is one of my all-time favourite players!!

Hopefully the Ducks can clear some salary cap space to re-sign him

They're pretty close to sealing the deal from what I've gathered..

The deal is sealed, signed for two years, let's hope he still delivers.
