Flyers’ Daniel Brière wheels past Penguins goalie Marc-André Fleury after his clearly offside goal put Philly on the board to begin their remarkable comeback.
Justin K. Aller, Getty Images
Just a bit of a platform for you to discuss with calm and civility (c’mon, you laughed at that…) the results of last night’s Conference quarterfinal openers – the Flyers roaring back to beat the Penguins in OT; the Predators holding off the Red Wings; and the Canucks falling to the Kings.
Talking points:
• Brière’s offside goal and the late icing waved off in Pittsburgh;
• Shea Weber’s incredible double face-plant into the glass of Henrik Zetterberg at the buzzer in Nashville… suspendable?
• The Canucks’ Olympic-year diving (common thread on the Internet) vs. Los Angeles in Vancouver.
Or, continue on about how the Canadiens are praying at the grave of Frank Selke Sr. for their next GM. Your choice.

It should be 5-2 for the Blues, they are dominating.
They have no finish… they need someone like Rick Nash.

Habs 1st and 3rd overall to CBJ for Nash
Nash to TOR for 5 consecutive 1st AND second round picks
Niemi’s getting ALL the action, no wonder these Blues goalies have great stats, they see no shots.

Doug murray from Sweden…weird.
Pretty hard to hang a loss on a goalie when your team can’t scrape up one goal
Hmmm…Braeden Holtby in OT vs the Bruins looked awfully like Carey Price in OT vs the Bruins last year.
Hmmm…nice night for a troll eh?
Wouldn’t know. Why are you here?
Because this is HalakInsideOut, and I’m having fun!
Is halakinsideout just a newer version of huetinsideout?
That was before my time.
Were there Huetalites back then?
Thank God, I missed it.
“HalakInsideOut” has been copyrighted by the St. Louis Blues hockey club, and cannot be used by anyone. The NEW site is: “FormerHabsGoalie WhoWillLeadHisNewTeamToTheStanleyCup”.
Even if the Blues win the Stanley Cup, and even if Halak wins the Conn Smythe, people who love Price, will still love him.
You guys are wasting your breath, but are highly entertaining.
L Elle,the huetities and the jaroslaves are the same people just 3 years older and with different user names.
Why,thank you!
the bruins goal kind of reminded me of when rivet tipped in the canes series winning goal on huet.
Sorry I don’t watch Boston Bruins hockey… or Washington Crapitals.

Why are you apologizing to me? I really don’t care if you watch them or not.I was talking to the much larger group of people that did watch the game.
Anyone else watching the playoffs and thinking it’s not a bad thing the Habs didn’t make it? It’s clear we weren’t good enough to make it, but also feel we didn’t have that extra gear good teams are playing at right now.

Halak is cold, any quick shot might beat him
Damn, the Caps lost
They were playing their third-string goalie tonight. Boston only managed one on him, but it was a weak goal, unscreend slap shot.

Welcome to HalakInsideOut.
The Rules
Halak Inside/Out encourages lively debate, but there is a zero-tolerance policy regarding Carey Price, including his choice of attire.
We will, without warning, ban those who do not idolize the departed goalie, so as to minimize the enjoyment of readers and participants of both Blues’ and Habs’ fans.
That’d be funny as hell if it wasn’t true…

Cut halak some slack.The guy has faced 22 shots in 3 consecutive periods of hockey. Thats usually what he faces over 2 games which usually covers a 2 or 3 week period. The guy must be exhausted.

Remember when everybody thought that the explosive offenses of the Pens and Caps were going to blow Montreal out of the water in 2010? Caps haven’t been the same since then.

Halak is robbing everyone of a goal
He’s been pretty solid.
Don’t think he’s been spectacular (only watching out of the corner of my eye, tho!) but the fur is definitely flying out there…

Ottawa looks more like the team which was essentially “handled” this season by the Habs.
The defense is running around and Anderson looks ordinary.
Niemi’s cap hit is the about same as Halak’s.
Price should get 4 years, 16 million. That sounds reasonable to me.
I concur, add incentive bonuses (all-star, vezina etc…)
Can’t get incentives on anything other than an entry level deal or an over 35 deal.
that sucks

Few days ago some one brought up that Price’s agent won’t want to waste too many of Price’s UFA years getting paid an RFA contract. I say 4 years 20m, to keep him happy. It may be a bit much for an RFA, but once he’s a UFA he’ll want more than even 5m.
he may not want to sign anything too long term if he is not offered huge money, as u said he will not want to burn up the UFA years ditto PK

If you would trade Price straight up for Grabovski, skip to the next post.
If you wouldn’t, Grabs gets 5.5 million.
Pleks gets 5, and Price > Pleks.
He’ll be getting Ward/Rinne money, or just a touch less as he is RFA, but only for another year.
Brad Richards & Ryan Callahan solid hockey players and leaders you can follow, I dont think Ottawa has to much hope in this series, will they ever score on King Henry

The best way to build a championship team in the salary cap era is to have players who play better than what they are getting paid. Players are almost always overpaid when they are free agents, so the easiest way to get underpaid players is to draft them. Having young players make an impact on the roster is useful because they are still on entry level contracts.
It should also be a goal to try and get a lot of good drafted players to enter the league at around the same time, so that you can maximize the talent on your team with the minimum cap hit. If you only have 1 or 2 new players join the team every year, then by the time you build up a good group of guys, the older players will demand higher contracts and you will lose some of them.
Obviously the best way to get more than 1 or 2 impact prospects to make the team at one time, is to have as many draft picks as possible in a single year, as well as have someone who is good at drafting (Timmins). Next year MTL has 9 picks, 4 of them being in the first two rounds. Next years draft will definitely have a major influence on the direction MTL goes in the future.
But why not give ourselves a better future by acquiring more picks for next years draft. The only way to do this is through trades. But our team is made up of guys nobody wants, and guys we don’t want to lose. We don’t really have a lot of guys that are valuable and expendable. That’s why I think this summer is when we should go out and get 2 or 3 guys that will take short term contracts and are able to fill important roles for playoff teams. Not because we want to keep these guys for our own playoff run, but so we can trade them at the deadline and possibly get another couple picks in the top 60. We sign them, so we can trade them. Signing, trading and drafting are the only ways to add assets, and drafting is the cheapest.
It usually takes approximately three years for a drafted player to develop so realistically, this years draft (4 picks in first 3 rounds), next years draft, and the year after, are important in building a good wave of valuable players who will either be a core part of our team, or future assets to trade (cyclical).
This is what my brain was thinking about as I watch the playoffs. Anyone agree? Any FA’s this summer that will take short term contracts and who we can get a good return for at trade deadline day?
I could see us possibly trading one or two guys like Bourque, Kaberle, Gionta, Moen, One of our centers, one of our bottom six guys we have log jammed on our roster, or maybe a couple of our prospects who we don’t think are developing good enough. We could use a couple more solid guys to trade though. Can never have too many.
Paul Gaustad go BUF a first round pick this year! He’s a FA this summer. I think he might try to break the bank this summer in both salary and term, but if we could somehow get him (or a guy like him; I know he isn’t like by our roster) for cheap and only a couple seasons, we could easily deal him next spring for at least a second round pick (perhaps more if he has another year inb his contract).
This is something I think GM’s are afraid to do but trading new players is looked down upon, but the best asset to have is a draft pick, and the only way to get them is by trading, and the easiest way to get guys to trade is by signing them.
Burke will offer moen a contract
That really is not a bad idea, especially since 2013 draft years is supposedly one of the best in a while.
Seth Jones, Nathan Mckinnon and Local boy Anthony Duclair to name a few, front runners for top 5 next year. By the way Seth Jones is the son of former NBA Player Popeye Jones, Seth was born in Texas, that would be a first in the draft.

This isn’t very different than much at what I have been saying for a few years now. I like the strategy you suggest and agree.
I have also bemoaned in that time that the Habs have done the opposite of what you are suggesting for far too long.
My hope is that the new regime will change this tendency and start thinking long term.
Too many guys let go with little or no return. To be fair, a lot of those guys weren’t worth much when they were let go though. However, the goal should be to never let a player walk away for free, or retire (with few exceptions), because that is essentially the extinguishing of an asset.
Watching teams like PIT and CHI, who were able to take advantage of 2 or 3 seasons of good drafting, which makes them competitive for 10 years.
Niemi 20 saves.
Hlock (as prounounced on NBC feed) 13 shots, 12 saves.
Yes, I am stirring the sh1t.
Ya wanna stir some? Check out my trailer below, the signature after the Edwards/Bruins pukes one… yeah, that stirs it real good.

Considering the booing of the the US anthem in Mtl, I’d keep my mouth shut! The minute the Habs left to Forum class wnet out the door. The most pathetic display: the bimbos they employ at the Bell Center to stoke the crowd in the cheap seats.
pretty sure they were booing the war.
nyr fans aren’t cheering for the war tonight, so i don’t think they’re directly related.
If only Americans had enough balls to boo also for Bush’s invading Iraq. You know. The illegal war. The weapons of mass deception. The strategic disaster. The elimination of the only secular regime, albeit a dictatorship, in the region.
Gimme an effin’ break. Class.
The big mistake, in my opinion, was not taking Rumsfeld’s advice and just nuking those useless bastards after 9/11. Three weeks later, who would have given a shit that those people existed. I was there that morning in lower Manhatten – the first one flew over my head on the West Side Drive as I headed to work – and lost several friends in the Towers.

And let’s be honest spanking it over Vimy Ridge kinda pales in comparison to Antietam.

Weber makes 7.5 million. He was fined $2,500. That’s a hit to him of 0.033%.
To relate it to the average guy, that is the equivalent of fining one of us who makes $100,000 the exorbitant amount of $33.33 (that’s a parking ticket). If you make $50,000, it’s the equivalent of $16.66 (that’s a movie ticket and a coffee).

Once again the hockey world sides with me…Gosh Gorges not invited to team Canada.

He’s a good D man that will try and pump up his team whilst saying anything to the media”true or not”to try and keep the calm”good luck” !The man does block the puck real good ….
He’s an extremely good defenseman, Dude.
Defensemen don’t need to score a lot to be a good.
That’s what forwards are for.
Forwards aren’t generally paid a lot for their defense.
$4m is a great price to pay for a guy who is going to be a leader on the team, and give his heart and soul for the CH.

I think Burl is gonna get the job by default. Tremendous!
Don’t fret Ian. I have it covered!
I am sure you have all heard the reports that Canadiens had asked Detroit for permission to speak to Jim Nill(when the playoffs were over).
Has anyone heard that Pierre LeBrun who originally broke the story is reporting that Jim Nill has DECLINED. (not interested).
This mornings news. Looking good for your guy, looks like he is the only one who wants the job
Of course, that eliminates him under must be possession of his mental facilitates prior to taking the job 
I disavow any knowledge of anyone that you may be speaking of.
Until I have assurances of my family’s safety.
You have to leave your “thick skin” on, even during the summer around here
Totally unrelated to hockey. But this shows how stupid extremism can be.
Remember this is a class project of two friends.

Here’s the opposite…or, not really, but interesting as well, and certainly related in a strange way
Sweden trying to remove gender distinctions totally:

Habs have to draft best offensive talent available. Not some gritty two way Swede. Not some defenseman. Offense. Talent. Only.
Here’s a piece of trivia:
Who was the last Hab in the top 10 in scoring and when?
A: Mats Naslund 1986
That’s 26 years ago. Top 10. Not even no.1 – just top 10.
Habs have to think offense offense offense going forward.
Loving the Habs since 1965
I was 22.

Habs got to go with a defenseman. The offensive talent might right itself a bit with a proper blueline, plus when offensive players leave and become offensive talent elsewhere, it just shows that getting a good offensive forward isnt necessarily the fix. Oilers and Isles have plenty of offensive talent….
[Disclaimer]: I’m a hockey fan. I care about the habs, but probably not as much as you.
JM is that you??? Hopefully we draft an offensive talent, as the last experiment in overpaying veteran “talents” went horribly wrong. D cupboard is overflowing in Hamilton, got to get that gamebreaker that has been glaringly absent for way too long!!!
A couple of RoadRunners would be great.

Man wouldnt it be great to have Yvon Cournoyer clones on the tean now.
I know many would disagree but I’m okay with anyone except the bruins,nashville,st. louis win the cup. Boston because of the rivalry,Nashville because they mortgaged alot of early draft picks to get acquisitions like Gill,Kostityn and Gaustad so I would love to see them have nothing to show for it with suter and weber maybe leaving at the end of the playoffs. The blues because halak is with them lol
Looking from afar Nashville seems like an intelligent Organisation who’s done quite well considering their financial disadvantages over the more affluent teams out there and they have had more than their fair share of UFA leaving them in returns for draft picks over the years a the trade dealine….. now that its their turn to challenge for the Cup they just didn’t sit on it but ACTED on it by aquiring 3 players and accepting back Rudolov to the rostor…. all good for the fans, all good for the team….. I wish them well event if it mean that they will need to disqualify my second favorite NHL team/organisation in the process in order to get there.
Such gratitude…what an ingrate you are. Go Halak.
I haven´t read anything about it, so forgive me if it has been discussed before. Did Gorges get no invitation from Team Canada? I mean they can´t really invite Marc Methot and ignore Gorges, can they? And that about DD?
Gorges got invited as a goalie.

I dont think Gorges was invited. One reason wa sthe larger ice-surface wont be ideal for his game.
When I spoke with him in Brossard on Monday, Josh said he’d not received a call from Team Canada “and if they were going to call, they’d have called by now.”
That said, he said that after 18 months of dealing with a weakening knee, the tearing of its meniscus, eventual complete lockup and the surgery that then required massive, exhaustive rehab, “I need a physical and mental break.” He’d not have gone to Worlds had that call come. Smart move.

Makes sense but I would have really enjoyed watching him win a medal for Canada, especially after a season like that. Thanks anyway!
