Plus he is doing it with bottom pairing minutes. You are not impressed with his offense ? You must have very high standards because at 17 minutes avg per game and 3 goals he is the Rangers offensive dynamo ! :) - donpaulo Fri, 11 May 2012 20:39:51 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4615-may-11-2012#comment-20797 Modulok, top players are always discussed in what-if scenarios. Jordan Staal is getting discussed in trades, Suter, Weber, Luongo, Schneider, Parise, the list goes on. It happens every year. We speculate, analyze cap and financial issues, playing histories, connections with college/junior linemates and coaches, everything. Nothing against New Jersey or the Devils organization, it is just what we do as puckheads. We all have biases, and we all have other parts of our lives. Only Parise knows what he is going to do, and I bet he isn't !00% on it yet. A lot of organizations are in transition periods now, the Devils included (for financial reasons and potentially goaltender as well), so there will be a lot of speculation everywhere. There will be changes happening everywhere. It's all good my man :) - Ross The Boss Palmer Fri, 11 May 2012 10:02:44 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4615-may-11-2012#comment-20796 Reasons for hate playing in NJ? - modulok Fri, 11 May 2012 09:03:56 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4615-may-11-2012#comment-20795 Modulok...what is Parise supposed to say? I hate it here? - buck0198 Fri, 11 May 2012 08:53:48 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4615-may-11-2012#comment-20794 Busy two days at work - sorry gents. Haven't had the opportunity to share my thoughts on the game. Will get to it for tomorrow's ramblings. - angus Fri, 11 May 2012 08:10:41 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4615-may-11-2012#comment-20792 No Rangers/Capital ramblings, same goes for when the Devils dominated the Flyers. I guess if there is no Giroux, Malkin, Crosby highlights it's not worthy of coverage. - modulok Fri, 11 May 2012 06:21:55 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4615-may-11-2012#comment-20790 More likely than not, the Devils won't be able to sign Parise because of financial concerns. The team is on verge of bankruptcy and Kovalchuk's salary (not cap hit) jumps about $5M more next season. Doesn't leave much room to sign anyone let alone Parise. - Knuckles Fri, 11 May 2012 06:18:36 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4615-may-11-2012#comment-20789 How was there no recap of game 6 of rangers/caps between today and yesterday's ramblings? Just because neither of them are Canadian teams doesn't mean they should be ignored. - jimywho1 Fri, 11 May 2012 06:09:16 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4615-may-11-2012#comment-20788 Jagr in Vancouver on a line with the Sedins is interesting, at the right price. - dynamo45 Fri, 11 May 2012 05:18:34 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4615-may-11-2012#comment-20787 I don't understand the statement that Ilya took away prime offensive minutes. They played on the same line for most of the year. Ilya moved to RW only a few weeks into the season. What about when Zack played center with Ilya? What about Pittsburgh? Would you say Crosby took away prime offensive minutes to Malkin when he came back? I hate reading all of these Parise comments everywhere saying he won't re-sign. Every interview he says he wants to stay with the Devils. They are playing up tempo fast paced hockey, but 'analysts' keep saying he's going to leave because he wants a Cup, money, and more offensive freedom. Ridiculous! - modulok Fri, 11 May 2012 04:35:33 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4615-may-11-2012#comment-20786 No mention of Ottawa signing Swedish defenceman Fredrik Claesson to a 3-year ELC. I forgive you Angus, sort of. The 2011 5th Rounder played with his future Sens teammate Mika Zibanejad (2011, 6th overall) in Sweden this season with the pitiful Djurgardens team that ended up relegated to Hockey Allsvenskan — the second division of Swedish hockey — for 2012-13. Claesson is basically a defensive beast - there is nothing about the defensive game he doesn't excel at. Offensively, he is limited, but an NHLer he will be. When you can say that about a 5th round selection, you know you did something right. Kudos to Bryan Murray and his team of scouts yet again. Welcome to North America and Bingo next season. - notch4077 Fri, 11 May 2012 03:51:20 +0100
