Meanwhile I get to watch the young Skating W's, who will be good as soon as they learn to score more than one goal in four playoff games.

The Wild still need an upgrade in talent before they can take the next step. Lemaire did an amazing job with a cast of mostly journeymen hockey players, but they will be hard-pressed to repeat next season the success of this season. There is some talent on the way, like Mikko Koivu and Matt Foy. I'm not sold on P-M Bouchard, though; he's offensively talented, but he might be too skinny and small for the NHL.

Minnesota needs to draft a goal-scorer in this draft. They should trade up to land U of M star Tomas Vanek.

As an AV's fan I will miss Patrick. That run in 96 when the AV's beat the Wings with the most victories ever and in 2001 when they won the Cup without their best player.

As far as Eddie being better I belive its Patricks 4 rings to Eddies 1.

I'm glad he's retiring. The way Roy came out of the goal, I would rather have Denis Lemieux in there. I think the coach should have tied a bungie cord to the back of Roy and limit him to 10 feet out of the box. He probably would have lowered his GAA by a half point. My favorite Roy game? When Detroit blew Roy away in a shutout and they finally had to pull him before he committed suicide.

LOL. What's the name of the goalie in Slapshot. The one that charges out when Reggie lets him know that his wife is a dyke?
