Re: Hockey Pool
Sep 25th, 2010If we don't get the tenth then I'm killing the idea.

Avro, since this would have just been a hockey pool for fun(not for any prizes/money) I wouldn't think it would be that big of a deal. However, you are the one that set it up, so in the end it's up to you. Just wanted to post my opinion on it, is all.

Can't get ten people on a Canadian web site.
Perhaps if it was the NFL (No Fun League) people would be interested.
Life goes on....

Not me. Hockey and baseball are the only two sports I follow on a regular basis.
So, what is your honest opinion of Montreal's chances this year, Avro?I think the Habs made a mistake letting Halak go and keeping Carey Price. While I am not a Habs fan, I think that Halak would have made them a better team.

I discussed the trade in the Canadiens thread.
To sum it up the trade was a good idea. They neede cap room to sign Plekanec and got a future top six forward in return for the right to sign Halak.
Price, I think, has more upside in the long term....I just don't buy into the one trick pony Halak.
Ian Shultz(part of Halak trade) might just make the NHL one day as well, see's himself as a Lucic type of player. Time is the true test of this trade.
Considering how the last 17 years have gone I am probally completely wrong.

For any hockey fans living on Vancouver Island, I've created a group called the 'Van Islanders' on the Hockey Night in Canada Fantasy Pool (CBC Sports - CBC Hockey Night in Canada Fantasy Pool presented by Kia - Intro). Password to join is "paradise". Hey, even if you wish you lived on Vancouver Island you are welcome to join! Hope to see you there.
