definitely
after thinking about it a bit more.. the fact toews is a rookie and scored a goal just as sweet as nash's makes the toews goal even better (rick did have nearly 50 a few years ago so the guy can score) but yeah.. either way both goals were gorgeous haha
although personally i think my fave all time (or one of my faves all time at least) is tuomo ruttu scoring on team canada at the last world cup finals for finland.. i mean, he wasnt going against guys like derek morris and jovo or whomever nash went by but instead guys like scott neidermayer and i *think* rob blake (when he was still really good) and scored on martin brodeur he basically undressed 3 future hall of famers and the soon to be winningest goaltender in league history

i liked that one too but the fact that rick dipietro signed a 15 year contract roughly a year ago is just funny
(his contract will end at the same time as AO's will now i think, either that or the year after)
yeah wang's the isle's owner
he hired ummmm.. something smith.. i forget his first name.. anyways.. he hired smith to be his gm.. then i believe a week or two later fired him to be replaced by.... the backup goaltender, garth snow... to make matters worse, snow counted against the cap as a player because he was above a certain age where he couldnt "not count" (35 or 36 or something).. so even tho the backup goalie retired to become the GM he counted against the teams salary cap AND cost them money to be paid as the GM AND he had ZERO experience as a GM while smith (neil smith btw) worked as the GM of the Rags for years and shit
so peter forsberg is lookin to come back and i hope to god he does cause i'd love to see that man play hockey again at the nhl level and at his standards
also dion phaneuf is likely to sign an extension with the flames :O
(and by god is that kid talented)
and finally according to some dude who runs a hockey rumor the habs have a shot at acquiring olie jokinen?!
the sens are up against the cap pretty hard right now so i dont think theres much they can do for a big name guy (but they may go after hossa, forsberg or another top 6) guy
it'd be disgustingly interesting to see hossa, heater, alfie and spezz on the same team.. fuck i could play wing on one of those lines and pot 25 goals
theres a lot of teams in that boat right now so it wont be easy!
teams looking for top 6 forward help off the top of my head:
montreal (to play with saks and higgins)
vancouver (to play with the sedins)
pittsburg (someone to ride shotgun for sid)
ottawa (add to the top 6 to spread out the o)
dallas (to play with modano i think)
calgary (for the second line w/ tanguay)
colorado (injuries and add to the top 6)
supposedly anaheim and detroit as well
the only teams i can think of not looking for top 6 help and that is a team expected to do "big things" is san jose but they badly need a d-man, as does carolina but theyre not as big a favourite as the sharks
then theres the teams that really want/need to make the playoffs and are likely willing to make big trades to get there (like the isles did last year w/ smyth) and you have columbus, maybe the caps, isles again, maybe the wild and coyotes and possibly the oil as well (the oil absolutely need another goal scorer.. too many playmakers not enough goal scorers)
theres also a lot of teams looking to add d-men but that list is probably longer haha
