Even if Melrose leaves, you will be stuck with the *new* owners

Lecavalier just signed an 11 year $80,000,000 contract extension so i doubt he'll go anywhere. Marty, i don't know. i'd MUCH rather see Melrose replaced than have Marty leave

I said it before , Melrose has to go , he really has no idea what he is doing . They should go get Bob Hartley or Marc Crawford , they both would do a better job .

the owners i'm not so ready to place blame on just yet...time will tell i guess.

we DO need a new coach though. i'd say bring back Tortorella if he weren't just going to inevitably chase away Smith and Kolzig

 

[Dawn]

Ted Nolan could be a good choice too

 

[Mauser98k]

we need someone new and fast

Red Wings repeat?

 

[TheBurglar]

2- Owners were not happy with the power play. In a pause between two periods, they went into the dressing room and told with *x* and *o* what they wanted the players to do on the PP. :eek:

Do you have a link to an article about this?

Sadly not. I heard it from Jacques Demers on french radio. Demers isnt speaking without solid info, he can be trust. As a former TB coach/GM, he still have *good* infos about Tampa.

In regards to our game, Lucic is a beast! New saying on the ESPN NHL message boards. Hope we can shut him down for tonight!

 

[Dawn]

Lucic? Good luck. Komisarek got him in his face for 7 playoffs games. I think Komisarek is still blue all over from his hits. :eek:

Do you have a 6'3 225lbs forward or d-men? Thats what you need to face him



From a different perspective, you will be able to see a star-in-the-making. In Boston (and Montreal), Milan Lucic is considered as a sub-Cam Neely. Who doesnt want a Lucic in his team? A real power forward. The scoring will come as he grow up.

 

[Nikkifan19]

Steve Bernier is 6'2 225, Shane O'Brien is 6'4 225.

Steve Bernier is 6'2 225, Shane O'Brien is 6'4 225.

They will end the game exhausted. Excellent matchup tho

 

[Nikkifan19]

Don't know Boston's line combos, but if Lucic's on the top line, he'll be seeing a lot of Kesler/Burrows and Mitchell/Bieksa.

Fire barry melrose.

Carolina 1 - Montréal 2 (after 1)

Plekanec and Tanguay scored for Habs. Tanguay = 6 goals this season so far

 

[Mauser98k]

on Lecavaliers' 2nd goal of the night, an assist went to Steven Stamkos! congrats on your first point kid. now get that first goal!

 

[Mauser98k]

TB wins! 3-2 in Toronto.

Stamkos was close as hell on a wrap around attempt to his first goal.

Lecavalier's second goal was amazing!
