LA trade Bishop to Dallas for a 4th round pick?!? Even backup goalies are traded for more than that...

It's a market flooded with similar goalies that might be available. Bishop doesn't really stand out from them at this point.

I don't really know they upcoming UFA market but who will be available? Bishop despite his average year seems to me one of the "best" available.

I'm very happy Ottawa got through, I'm rooting for them since Blackhawks collapsed, they're nice to watch :)

Looking forward to the two last matchups to finish, it's gonna be a nice round of Conf Finals for sure !

And the Capitals are dead again in the second round. This team is still going no were with all that talent on the ice and on the bench too. :doh:

I'm a bit sad to see the Oilers go. I liked them as underdogs but at least we still have Ottawa remaining.

What can they do when they face the Penguins second time in a row at this stage. :-D

I'm sooo hoping Ottawa could win the Penguins!! I don't care who picks the Stanley Cup this year, just as long as it's not the Penguins. ;)

Nashville vs Ottawa in the SC final and we would have a new Stanley Cup winner. Always nice I think to have a new winner! :-)

EDIT: Oh well... I found out Ottawa won 1927 lol. First year in the "new NHL" era. :-D So I think it's about time. :-p

I don't wan't them to face the Ducks like in the 06/07 SC final where they lost. Carlyle also trained Ducks back then. ;)

Bishop has signed for 6 years close to 5 millions per year. That's a nice deal for Dallas I think! :thup:

Nashville lost Johansen for the rest of the playoffs. That's gotta hurt for them. :thdn:

Good job Nashville I hope they kick the Ducks out in 6. I really don't like the way they played this series. Bunch of rats. The arena was even empty after Nashville took the lead 3-1. CJ is probably more hardcore than thos people over there. :D

18 shots and 6 goals. Anaheim could've done better tham that IMO. :D I'm gonna take the Preds win though! Now I hope the Sens can make the come back but I've got a bad feeling about it.
