NHL playoffs

Our slim chance of getting Parise this offseason is getting slimmer by the game.

I know, its what we're all thinking. Once they made it to the Cup finals though, I think we were screwed either way. Come this close and lose and he will want to try again. Win it all and they would do everything they could to keep him.

Couple of articles I've read said there was 0% chance we'd get him if they win the Cup. But the only guy who really knows is #9.

And then if we do get him...who is changing numbers, Mikko or Parise?

He might take 11 like his Dad did. Parise that is.

Whats the difference, we get Parise and its like having 2 Kiouvu's. I just dont see it with Parise, Not worth the money. Hes not a super star.

LA has proven that you can buy the cup...they have been in a league of their own all play offs.

I'm with sscsavre on this one. I think he's a very good player that will be commanding GREAT player money on the open market.

Kind of the same way I feel about Suter. I think he's good but life will get a lot harder when he's not paired with Weber.

If I had to pick one of the two I would take Suter every time, we need a stud D in a bad bad way. With that said I would still love to have Parise on our roster as long as its not some crazy number. He just scored 31 goals and 69 points after a major knee injury, before that he put up 82 and 94, that is star material to me. He likely never breaks 90 again but I could see him up near 80 for several more seasons. He has also scored at least 31 goals in the past 5 years he was not injured, only 4 guys broke the 40 goal mark this year so those 30 goal scorers are worth their weight in gold these days. Sad but true.

Our top scoring guy, Heatley, ranked #81 in the NHL in pts. Put Parise on the line with Koivu and Heatley and you'd have something. I'll TAKE him.

I think Parise returns to a 75+ point guy too.

NJ guts out a 3-1 with an ENer at the end. I missed the first two perios so I am not really sure who was playing better. Next game should be fun, LA is 10-0 on the road this post season. That might be a record that is never broken, especially if they win in NJ.

I'm actually happy the Devils won last night. I was out fishing, so I didn't get to see it.

[Bear55]

I have to be honest, I only tuned in on time to see if the cup was coming out. I was lucky enough to catch all 4 goals and go to bed early. Win win!

[walleyehunter80]

sure hope the kings can pull of the next game with a win

[OnAFly]

Last game is tonight. Kings in 6.

[Bear55]

My plan backfired tonight, tuned in late to see the Kings up 4-0 and 21 minutes away from the cup.

Congrats to the kings, bring on the draft!
