Just thought of this. Tonight could be, but hopefully won't be, Lidstrom's last game wearing the winged wheel.

I know it's the most misleading stat in hockey, but Ericsson's +/- is even. Tied with Nick Lidstrom for best among blueliners.

Misleading stats are misleading!

I would guess Lidstrom's ice time in relation to most others is much higher. So it stands to reason he will be on the ice for more goals against or for.

Check the post again. I broke it down ignoring special teams. Ice time is also negligible under this assessment.

Brad Stuart is the weak cog on the blue-line. Every other blueliner is practically at zero, equally on ice for both DET and NSH goals. Brad Stuart is almost -10. On ice for almost every NSH goal and zero DET goals.


*edit* At this point, I'd take DAMMIT Janik! or XLB over Brad Stuart.

Now excuse me as I go scrub my computer clean from typing that...

yeah, Stuart checked out of Detroit and into whatever California team he thinks is going to sign him already.

Would you take Lilja back? Just wondering how desperate you really are.

A friend offered me free tickets to tomorrow night's game. As you can imagine, I'm pretty psyched.

Even Lilja?

HELL NO!


He's doing just fine being a screw up in Philly with Braydon Coburn. I'm glad that Lilja and Lebda are gone.

I just realized that even with all of the crap in this Philly-Pitt series, Matt Cooke hasn't really had anything to do with it. He has turned over a new leaf, hasn't he?

Re: NHL 2012: Playoffs! Pick Your Overtime Winners!

WTH. I was expecting 10 goals between Philly and Pitt.

Just as I type, the Pens tie it.

Yeah, the high-sticking minor he had in Game 4 was the first penalty he took in the series. Of course, he then got an additional minor and a 10-min misconduct for holding the stick later in the game.

Can the Penguins offer the referee to just award a penalty shot than allow the Flyers back on the power play? They are killing penalties at a lusty 37.5% so far.

ETA: 35%

So, you think their goaltender(s) can give up less than 37.5 on penalty shots?

I'd take the "over" side on that bet.

There's the ballgame folks. First one to score has won all series between NSH/DET.

Don't necessarily like Jordan Staal (maybe because I hate Eric), but man, if he could only stay healthy.
