The NHL Thread

I'M from Montreal, so guess what team I root for.

Many good transactions since Theodore : Zednik's gone, Ribeiro's gone, Niniima is now here, a nice battle for #1 goalie will take place between Huet and Aebischer, Koivu started his season in full force, as did the #1 trio, Komisarek will develop into one hell of a defenceman, Ryder will surprise many.  I think the Habs will be able to finish at least in the 5th slot for the playoffs.

Yeah, the Avs got the bitter end of that deal, Theodore sucks. 

My Canucks have Luongo in goal, so we have nothing to worry about in the crease.

I have Luongo in my fantasy hockey league.First time in awhile I had a decent goalie.

oooo

You're lucky, he's playing really great.  I've been watching the guy, and it seems like a conventional shot never beats him.  A team has to bank one in off a defender's skates or tip a slapshot to the top corner.
