Relic? He is 33! Many outstanding goalie started to perform really great around that age!

Cheers,

Agree....Fleury is still a star in NHL....a big plus for Vegas....and Subban will and should b the back-up.. Indeed quite sure Pens miss him. Should play tonight.

 

[gaby]

Blues....Schwartz and Pietrangelo out for some weeks,,,,2 gros morceaux...ca risque de faire mal.

Other defeat for the Sens 3-2 vs Buffalo.....wow... c'est la bataille pour la dernière place dans l'est......quelle déchéance pour Ottawa....very sad.

Many team wanted duchesne... overhype player you think? Many where willing to trade half the habs for him

Cheers,

You're correct but i believe Matt Duchesne would have been a better fit on the Habs playing next to snipers Pacioretty and Galchenyuk. Who does he have in Ottawa? Mark Stone? Mike Hoffman? Give me a break!

Matt Duchesne would have looked great in a Habs jersey! :thumb:

Fleury against Pens tonight.....shoul b interesting.

 

[gaby]

YES....FLEURY-GKNIGHTS ont défait les PENS-MURRAY 2-1.....first win for Fleury against his former team.......happy for him and Vegas qui continue à impressionner.

A true hockey player retired yesterday.. Chris Neil :canada:

He was always there to make sure there was zero nonsense while on his beat

Although he always played for one of my team's arch-rivals, i always liked & enjoyed what Chris Neil brought to the game. Toronto nearly acquired him a few years ago during the Brian Burke regime. But Neil wanted to remain with the Senators and probably lost a lot of money with this decision. No wonder he was pissed when the Sens no longer wanted him. As a player.

I watched TBay 6-5 on Colorado......crazy and exciting game.....11 goals in the last 2 periods......it was 5-1 TBay and bang bang bang..hat trick Landeskog and a spectacular goal by MacKinnon....5-4........but too late......good game to watch.

 

[gaby]

Incroyables ces Golden Knights....ont défait l'équipe la plus hot soit TBay 4-3......vraiment impressionnant.

Vegas Golden Knights lead the Western Conference. #1 seed:

Again....Golden Knights blank Caps 3-0....shutout for Fleury.....great great great.....they are 15-2-1 at home......they are spectacular.

Orr's 1970 Goal Remains Top Moment in NHL History

Here is the video of the goal:

Perfect give and go with Derek Sanderson. You don't hear too much about the Sanderson assist but he put the pass right on the money part of Orr's stick.

 

[gaby]

Vegas 4-1 on Ducks.....always #1 in Pacific Division...and #2 in the league.....just incredible.

 

[gaby]

Wow....again Vegas blank Preds 3-0....yes Preds for their eight straight win....second shutout for Fleury since he returned....et la magie continue.....congrats.

 

[Doc Holliday]

......and the Habs losing streak continues. And continues. They should have blown this whole thing up a month ago when most of their underachievers still had value. Sad.

Le jersey des Black Hawks a été voté comme GREATEST NHL UNIFORM....1956-2018....6 millions de fans ont voté.....pas mal d'accord....j'aime bien aussi celui de Columbus.

I also agree with the selection of the Chicago Black Hawks jersey as greatest from 1956-2018. Beautiful jersey! :thumb:

Yup, my Oilers suck, probably no playoff unless a miracle happens after the all star break.
