1) The Conroy deal was no surprise, but its hardly a huge deal in our opinion. Conroy is NOT the player he was 2-3 years ago His numbers have slipped significantly, and his age(36) is probably beginning to show. From a Calgary perspective they didn't appear to give up too much anyway. Lundmark is a BUST and a 2nd and 4th rounder isn't anything these days for a playoff team to give up.All in all this deal isn't going to tip the balance of power in the tight NW division.
2) One has to wonder how much longer Dave Lewis will last in Bean-Town. His Bruins were trounced last night by a mediocre Ranger team, further injuring their slim playoff hopes. Many thought the Bruins were poised to return to the post season after acquiring FA's Zdeno Chara and Mark Savard; The cream of the UFA's last summer.
3) Thus far the team has been a big disappointment, and as usual the coach is first to feel the heat. New GM Peter Chirelli will likely be pressured from on high(Harry Sinden) to make some changes. While personnel changes are possible, it is becoming more likely that a change behind the bench could be soon forthcoming. Its to bad as Dave is a good guy who we at FAUXRUMORS have known since his Islander playing days. Unfortunately, he may be one of those who is a better fit as an assistant and not the top man.

the brutal bruins got hammered by the sabres 7-1 tonight, so thats out scored 13-2 in the last 2 games...ouch. the annual beantown fire sale will begin soon. bruin management will blow it all up again, then spend bananas money on free agents...the viscous circle will continue. as for dave lewis, he frightens me a little, that stache reminds me a bit too much of that dude who was on the losing end of wwii.
1) Yes, after watching the Bruins the last 2 nights its clear that they have given up. That's death to a coach. Lewis, regardless of his bad choice of facial hair, is a goner
2) The Bruins are seeing (hopefully learning) what many teams knew already, that you can't win with free agents alone AND you need quality goaltending, else nothing else matters
Good point, Faux... I see Adolph Lewis' days numbered in Beantown... Where would this team be without the great off-season acquisitions of Zdeno Chara and Marc Savard? But, who cares about the Bruins? Isn't it all about the Celtics and Tom Brady, anyway?
