Obviously, Demitra's play this year did not encourage the Minnesota Wild to re-sign him, and he's a free agent as of July 1st. Seriously, thank goodness we are getting rid of this slacker instead of one of our top scorers, Brian Rolston. Even though I think Rolston needs to start taking shots OTHER THAN THE SLAPSHOT, he scores waaaaay more than Demi 2008-05-15 09:44:49 PDT http://technorati.com/search/styleandsports.blogspot.com/2008/05/pavol-demitra-vancouver-canuck.html 2 2 http://www.kuklaskorner.com/index.php/CandB/comments/busy_days_from_vancouver_to_vegas/ http://www.kuklaskorner.com/index.php/CandB/comments/busy_days_from_vancouver_to_vegas/ Thu, 15 May 2008 09:42:52 -0700 From Scott Burnside at ESPN, Busy times in Vancouver as new owner Francesco Aquilini cries to the local papers every time he reads something that rankles him and with new GM Mike Gillis throwing everyone connected to the Dave Nonis regime under the bus. Now, Gillis is starting to rebuild the Canucks in his own image, announcing that he’s hired longtime NHLer Scott Mellanby to be a conduit between the team’s hockey operations and himself.

Fleury and Osgood have silenced their critics. The Penguins have proven adept at playing a strong defensive game and the Wings forwards have proven more than a match for their opponents with their physical offensive style. Another factor has been the ability of their top forwards to lead the way offensively.

COACH DAVE TIPPETT: We’ll tinker around a little bit. We’re certainly looking for answers, looking for ways to win games. So that’s where we’re at.

The Dallas Stars will have to be a lot better in Game 5 on Saturday if they're going to prove Wednesday's 3-1 victory over Detroit wasn't just a last spasm of pride.

In fact, hockey is probably the last thing on a lot of players’ minds at this point. But whether they’re aware of it or not, the upcoming Stanley Cup final can ultimately decide what kind of moves will be made in the offseason We might as well pencil it in, folks.

Yes, the players that make a difference offensively for the Red Wings now were all selected in the afterthought regions of the NHL entry draft. Pavel Datsyuk was 171st overall in 1998; Henrik Zetterberg 210th in 1999; Tomas Holmstrom 257th in 1994; Johan F 2008-05-13 18:21:08 PDT http://technorati.com/search/nhltalk.ca/?p=1128 3 3 http://nhltalk.ca/?p=1127 http://nhltalk.ca/?p=1127 Tue, 13 May 2008 18:21:08 -0700 Q You were in this situation in the last round against Colorado.

It worked out well last time. I think part of the reason it did was we were mature, stayed focused and played a really good game. And I think that’s what we have to do here, is we’ve got to be really focused. And we tried to get that back on track h 2008-05-13 18:21:08 PDT http://technorati.com/search/nhltalk.ca/?p=1127 3 3
