Beaglefan2:
I really hope Backstrom is hurt, because if not, he is the slowest and least energetic guy in the NHL and it's going to be a long three more years.
Thought Jensen struggled tonight, but he gets a pass.
I said before that Sammy would be out of the league in three years..... make that two.

Let's get the playoff sweep over with and then start dismantling this roster. They've been painful to watch at home almost all year.
waynerivers:
Going forward, the only guys I'd definitely keep (not including the youngsters) are Ovie, Wilson, Sheary, Dowd & Hathaway up front. Fehervary and Orlov on defense. That's it. Everbody else should either be available or actively moved. Backstrom and Oshie need to be released or retired. Just eat the salary if you have to. If they want to keep a goalie, it has to be Vanacek but they need a real #1 guy who can be relied on for long stretches. As for Laviolette, I haven't been impressed. They need a good, young coach not a retread who's been passed around the league for years. I'm sure there are plenty of guys in the minors or on other team's staffs who have the goods to be NHL head coaches. As for the FO, can they fire themselves?

Oooh - Fahhhh
Pathetic. A win and they play Rangers. A loss and they get Panthers.
I guess they decided they'd rather lose to the Panthers than to NRY in the 1st round. (Prolly a lot more golf courses in FLA and figured better get to them before it gets too hot)
WTF is Sammy's problem with losing his stick? I've never seen a goalie who loses it so much. That AND his net. Like someone else said - great skills, but FFS he should know where his net is by now and how to keep his stick.
