They both sucked all year - Jussi was no better... his performance in the finals came right out of the blue..

Conklin made (I think) $1.9 million last year - that's why he was on the bench... If he would have won that game #1, he would have started the rest of the way... it was his series to steal, and instead he handed it to Carolina...

Maybe there is hope in Edmonton? Finally, a guy in charge who doesn't believe Lennart Petrell is a legitimate roster player.
