NHL Conference Finals Thread

Lundqvist is already 26 years old. Loui is only 23 and put up 31 points and a plus-5 this season.

I know which one I want to keep. Of course, I also know which one has more trade value...

Already 26? Geez, I haven't really felt old before, but that statement made me feel old (at 29).

It was an ugly finish to the season but much love to the Stars putting together a strong playoff run. Detroit is like a freaking all-star team.

Erickson really impressed me the last 2 months of the season. He is going to be a great 2-way player.

The young D core is great. Grossman and Fistric add some size and muscle. Both need to improve on moving the puck but with Turco back there he helps alleviate some of their shortcomings.

Daley and Robidas add some speed on the backline and Robidas really stepped up his play on the PP.

Niskanen tailed off at the end of the year but he still had an outstanding year for a rookie and is only going to get better.

As for the forwards I think Hagman's contract is up, which is a shame because someone will overpay him for his 25ish goals this year. I like him for his speed and his desire to drive to the net. Now if he could only regain that regular season scoring touch...

Will Modano be back? Barnes? Zubie & Norstrom? If so do they have enough in the tank to contribute? Lots of questions but should be an interesting off season.

I get the feeling that Niskanen is a star in the making.

not too mention that we beat detroit at getting this young prospect...

Dallas Stars sign coveted Swedish product

 

[numbereleven]

So will he play for Dallas immediately, or will they start him in Iowa?

 

[OrangeBlooded]

I'm guessing immediately.

I guess I don't understand how he didn't get drafted, but who cares at this point. Sounds like a monster get.

Well, at least we lost to the champs
