Yea some HUGE things happened. Iginla to Boston? WTF... how uncomfortable will that be when he's in the dressing room for the first time with Chara and the boys? LOL
I agree Greenie, Dallas with Ruff as coach will be tough to play next year!
Alfredsson choosing to go to Detroit BLOWS MY MIND! In reality it doesn't make much sense. Detroit isn't exactly a powerhouse. Had he gone to Boston, ok I could see that but Detroit? They finished 7th in the west last year, same as Ottawa, and went no farther in the playoffs than Ottawa. And quite frankly, with the moves Ottawa made I think we're a better team than Detroit!
Ottawa/Detroit comparison:
-First Line:
Ottawa: Jason Spezza, Bobby Ryan, Milan Michalek - Advantage Ottawa
Detroit: Pavel Datsuk, Zetterberg, Johan Franson
-Second Line:
Ottawa: Kyle Turris, Cory Conacher, Clarke MacArthur
Detroit: Stephen Weiss, Dan Cleary, Alfredsson - Advantage Detroit
-Third and Fourth Lines are pretty close
Defence - Advantage Ottawa
Ottawa: Erik Karlson, Chris Phillips, Mark Method, Jared Cowen, Joe Corvo, Patrick Weirkoch, Eric Gryba
Detroit: Niklas Kromwell, Johnathan Ericcson, Jakob Kindl, Brendan Smith, Kyle Quincey, Ian White
Goalies - Advantage Ottawa (2nd est GAA in the league behind Chicago last year)
Ottawa: Craig Anderson, backup Robin Lehner
Detroit: Jimmy Howard, backup Jonus Gustavsson
