Laine has played 46 games in 2 seasons. I won't judge him until next season.

No.. the hype was about having OUR best players which happen to be NHL players playing at the International Level.. Russia had their best.. why not ours.. It was the NHL that held that back.. The curtain fell in 1989 and the World Cup of Hockey started in 1996..so yes these events still matter...

They whined about it a lot, because the 72 summit series was such a hit.. so to your point, there was a lot of chatter about it.. I played against the Russian Red Army Midget team in 1976. In Thunder Bay, my first year away from home at 17 playing hockey. The demand was huge.. (I can post the...

He is the one that saw an opportunity.. he was right.. but to your point, i agree.

Not a peep in the 70's and 80's ? That is BS.. The 1972 Summit series created such a buzz that there was a push to allow NHL players to play in the Olympic games. The IOC only allowed "professional" players to play in 1988. It was the NHL that didn't allow it until 1998. In the mean time after...

Billington made some great saves, however he let in TWO goals that he should of stopped, in games like this we need both, great saves and routine saves.. that was the difference.. having said that we didn't create enough scoring chances.. The USA D is pretty solid.

i just wish MSL would play 92 with 13, and 14.. just give it a try

It is relevant.. very much so. We have a young team that needs to learn to win.. how they play after the break allows to see where we need to add and subtract..

True, and that will come. we are the 2nd youngest team in the league ; at this point in time, none of top 5 youngest teams are in the playoffs, Columbus is close (we are younger by an average of 2 years)..

Lets see how the team does after the break, they have 5-6 games before March 7th. This team has hit a wall. Tough schedule they have been on. LH is not the same player of a few weeks ago, Suzuki is missing chances, the passing is off etc..

Of course, however i would be more concern if he had those numbers on a real good team..

those were pretty shitty Laval teams so really not a good gauge

I agree , i think Newhook is better set as a winger in the NHL

Primeau has the talent and size.. it is his mindset that needs to develop.. what he has done since going back to the AHL tells me that he can be a NHL goalie.. i think he will get traded over the summer and will be playing in the NHL soon.. same thing happened to Monty, he had the talent when we...

That sounds like a Maga response

but you dump on Monty for the same thing..

mine was a 1967 Valiant Slant Six..

That's not desperate that is smart..
