Detroit would be crazy to let him walk. If he leaves, look no further than Toronto. Maple Leafs will want him more than a draft pick. lol
Good night if you want more hockey. Canucks and Preds stay alive. Now we get 4 games tomorrow. Isles game at 3. I would love to see them win and force a game 7, but the way they lost combined with their D being destroyed by injury, and it is going to be tough for them to win IMO. With that said...go Isles.
Caps strategically took Isles off their game and the Isles responded by playing human missiles as Caps unloaded pucks behind Halak. Isles unloaded 35 hits in the first period alone. And all it did was exhaust themselves the rest of the game. And on top of that, more injuries plagued the Isles. They may be down to 3 defense men. It will be tough to win Saturday's game. The Orpiks, Carlsons, Wilsons, Chimeras, Gleasons, Lattas, & Laichs have punished the Islander skill players into submission. Caps are one mean machine. Blues drubbed Wild in their building, 6-1. It's a best of 3 series with two games in St. Louis. Before series I thought Wild would win this series in 7. I still think they will. For Nashville to win series vs Hawks, it's do-or-die for them.....must win game 6 in Chicago Saturday. It is on Rinne's shoulders. I can see another OT game. Preds must learn to win on the road. It's like watching two different Pred teams; the dominating home team & the mistake-prone away team. I picked the Hawks because of Preds jekell-hyde persona. Western Canada has real barn burner in the Calgary-Vancouver series. Canucks escaped with their playoff lives in beating Flames 2-1, with Flames leading series 3-2. I picked the Canucks to win this series thinking Miller would excel vs Flames. So what does Canuck's coach do? He starts Lack over Miller and the Flames go up 3-1. Can Canucks sweep next two games? Sure, but now I'm leaning toward the Flames to seal the deal Saturday nite with Hiller playing exceptional in goal. Unfortunately, for either of these 2 teams Anaheim Ducks sit home waiting for their next opponent. Eastern Canada rumble is way different. You need to look no further than Montreal's Price. He has literally shut the door on Ottawa. Montreal should close out the Sens tonight. Ottawa was the Cinderella team to the Ball. All Price has done is turn them into an ordinary hockey team. All it took was 1:17 of game 4 for the Bolts to get the upper hand in series between them and Red Wings. Mrazek and Wings were that close to taking a commanding 3-1 game lead in this series. Enter Tyler Johnson and the Bolts even this series 2-2 and I do not think it's even that close. Bolts should win this in 6.
