• Comment on Avalanche won't take Jones with No. 1 pick
  Agree 100%. Bruins GM has a Cup and perhaps 2 to show for those astute moves.
• Comment on Avalanche won't take Jones with No. 1 pick
  While it was not an in depth review, the one thing they were spot on about was Price. A few quotes: 1. One of the most remarkable facets of Montreal's success last season is that they finished with such a strong record despite subpar goaltending. 2. It's not that a team can't win without good goaltending, but Montreal has been built, to some degree, on the premise that Carey Price would provide above-average puck stopping and that's not what made the difference. 3. While he has the pedigree to be an elite puck-stopper, 25-year-old Price still has to put it together. Since he arrived in the league, in 2007, Price has a .915 save percentage, which isn't bad, but it ranks 15th among goalies with at least 200 games played. Clearly TSN's Cullen sees it correctly w/respect to the Canadiens' season. We had a solid regular season despite subpar goaltending. Sadly, in the playoffs, weak goaltending was the reason for our early elimination.
• Comment on Avalanche won't take Jones with No. 1 pick
  I would do that in a second, of course Avs would never be that silly to trade 1st overall for the 15th best goaltenderder in the league who is getting paid to be top 3...
• Comment on Subban toasts Norris Trophy win with a little wine
  Timo - agree w/you. Seems MB gets a pass becuase he looks and acts like a non Gauthier. A closer look at his moves (and there have been a handful of bad ones) thus far leaves me wholly unimpressed (w/the exception of Prust).

  MB should not be immune to the criticism. He is responsible for Price's ridiculous contract, Moen, DD (that one's for you Timo), and missing the boat on signing PK long term a year ago (he will pay dearly for that one). Another year of poor decisions like those and MB will be able to proudly take a seat at the table with Gainey and Gauthier.

  I would get rid of Markov for a 2nd rounder (and I don't care what team) at this point. He is no longer the D he used to be, very slow, and we'd save close to $6MM. Pre surgey Markov was a gem. Post surgey Markov is no more than a 4th D @ this point in his career.
• Comment on Subban wins Norris Trophy as league's top defenceman
  Congrats to PK for a well deserved Norris. MB will pay big in a year to keep PK. Where did he spend his dollars long term -- let's see, for the Vezina trophy winner? NOT. Trade Price, use those wasted dollars to sign PK long term.
