We kept hearing the same thing about trade deadline and a lot of big deals never materialized. <BR/><BR/>The free agents available this year seem pretty low key and if the handful of high profile guys sign early it could be a long off season.Pink is for MEN!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11994701400435690204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-88633128454226379532008-06-06T10:02:00.000-07:002008-06-06T10:02:00.000-07:00No one watch here in quebec no good quebecer on te...No one watch here in quebec no good quebecer on team winning cup stanley.La Grenouillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170869898862758301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-433658911513542512008-06-06T09:59:00.000-07:002008-06-06T09:59:00.000-07:00when you get on a rant here faux you never give up...when you get on a rant here faux you never give up. It was clear that Osgood was betetr than Fleury over the 6 games. Fleury may have had the game of his life in game 5, but the other 5 games Ozzy was the betetr goalie. The team with the best goalie usually wins. It happened again this season regardless of what you nmight want to thinkVLAD THE IMPALERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13364902582872816443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-41454040082971408782008-06-06T09:57:00.000-07:002008-06-06T09:57:00.000-07:00Faux hear anything about our coaching sitaution up...Faux hear anything about our coaching sitaution up here.

While I guess they didn't boo or such, I think they were watching the Cup being awarded more then making some giant classy gesture.BackDoorIs4Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202702477210165732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-32737622549947250632008-06-05T21:47:00.000-07:002008-06-05T21:47:00.000-07:00Yes Congrats to the Champs and much credit to the ...Yes Congrats to the Champs and much credit to the Pens! Have to agree with you there.<BR/><BR/>Though the horse may be long dead, I am going to beat it once again! I think goaltending WAS a factor in the series. Think back to Game 1 and 2 where Osgood shut out the Pens. Both those games the Pens had moments where they outplayed the Wings and Osgood was the difference while the Wings found their Cup legs. <BR/><BR/>Game 5 you mentioned as being Fleury's difference maker, and I would argue that Osgood's shakey play in Game 5 was also a factor, as was Fleury's shakey play in game 6. Two of the three goals he let in were saves that a stanley cup champ goalie needs to make. <BR/><BR/>So goaltending was a factor, but perhaps not in the way many wish it was. <BR/><BR/>I also think the Euro Captain angle is way over played. How many teams actually have Euro Captains? Sundin, Alfredson. <BR/><BR/>And something tells me this is going to be a busy off season. Several coaching moves which will likely lead to many player moves either trade or free agency route.BackDoorIs4Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202702477210165732noreply@blogger.com
