Was it Mike Ricci that he dethroned?

Ok, so earlier in the month he did ok and lately he hasn't been good.

In one of those four goal games I listed, he gave up 4 in the first and then didn't reurn. On the whole, his numbers are really bad (3.43 GAA, .890 save percentage).

How was that interference on holmstrom?

When Barch scores, and Jason Williams has the principal assist, it's generally a bad night for your squad.

You're playing Dallas. I think Holmstrom gets hosed everytime Detroit faces the Stars.

Edit: And Anaheim.

The NHL would have been a better place if Ericsson had cracked Steve Ott's head open at center ice there.

Leafs beat Montreal and are four back of Carolina. Kessel and Bozak both score two, Kessel has six in the past five games, and even Brett Lebda scored - his first in 80+ games

This. Ott makes Avery look tame.

But no, Ericsson is the archetypical soft Swede who rarely uses his size to his advantage. So in other words, he's a perfect fit for Detroit.

Seventeen years ago today, the hockey world lost one of its two greatest voices.

Just finished this off on the DVR (was at Preds game last night...zzzzzzzzzzzz). Kessel was terrific last night. He made Gill and Hamrlik look every bit their age. Toronto's charge is most impressive; they played with far more conviction last night than Montreal.

Has Kessel lost weight since the all star game? ;):D

Heh, he certainly may have! Whatever he's doing now, it's working. He's always streaky, and right now he's hot. He has more goals than Ovechkin. That's kind of shocking, no?

Preds traded Andrew Sulzer to Florida and put Sullivan on IR. I think they're going to make another move for a Center; they're really thin down the middle, particularly after losing O'Reilly and Goc for the season in the past 2 weeks.

All it takes are a few posts which could mean the difference between a cold streak and having hot mitts. Also don't discount the fact that hockey is a team sport. Toronto looked better against boston last go round than they did in any of their losses. If your teammates aren't carrying their weight, even the best goal scorer in the world will struggle.

Who would have thought lucic would be the bostons #1 goal scorer. Who would have thought Marchand would be one of the top rookies? I give Senguin slack since he is just a kid and isn't given the same opportunity as guys like skinner, hall, or eberle. That said, this is why hockey is one of the better sports. you can't look at a guys previous stats and come to conclusions. A. Daigle kind of showed us that.

On playoffs, I think some luck is going to be involved with how teams fare. Injuries are really screwing some teams over, so the healthiest team come playoffs might be a favorite regardless of where they are in the standings.

No Rangers in HD for me tonight, because apparently it's very important for the game to be blacked out on NHL Network even though it's only being shown on MSG2 (which isn't available in HD on my cable, not sure if it is elsewhere) in favor of the Knicks on MSG (OK, I guess maybe that makes sense since they just made a big trade) and the Debbies on MSG+ (what? as if anyone wants to watch that). Thanks, MSG. :rolleyes:

Edit to add: MAN Ovechkin is good.

Edit again to add: The rest of his team, not so much.

Sooo... now you know how we Leafs fans feel most of the time! :D

Tonight, I have to watch the Penguins feed rather than HNIC because we're in the Pens market -- even though we're 3 hours from Pittsburgh. :mad:
 
Re: 2010-2011 NHL Season Part II - Concussions Are Serious Business, Savvy?

Awesome OT win by the Wild last night. Pierre Marc Bouchard scored on a breakaway with 3 seconds left. Made up for my college team :)

I am surprised how everything is coming together for the Wild. Our coaching is looking solid team is playing okay without Koivu and we are in line for a playoff spot. Which I didn't think was going to happen in the fall.

I've never understood TV territory rights. It seems archaic and arbitrary.

Although, after seeing the MLB tv map, it makes the hockey one look smart.

aparch, thought I'd pass something along...have always associated you as a Thrashers' fan; not sure if that's totally accurate. Anyhow, Rick Dudley was on Montreal's Team 990 yesterday. I listened to the interview, he said he thought that Ben Maxwell will be up sooner than later. He also said that Bogosian is not in play, but qualified it by saying, "If Wayne Gretzky can be traded, anyone can be traded".
 
Re: 2010-2011 NHL Season Part II - Concussions Are Serious Business, Savvy?

In more recent news, the Minnesota Wild have not made a trade.

While I am somewhat smitten with their chances, no one should be happy that it took 2 breakaway goals and 40+ saves to win that game. That's not going to get many wins in the playoffs should they even get that far.
 
Re: 2010-2011 NHL Season Part II - Concussions Are Serious Business, Savvy?

Some player movement today:

Bryan McCabe to the Rangers for a 3rd and Tim Kennedy.

Marco Sturm claimed by the Capitals.

Nick Boytnon claimed by the Flyers.

Craig Rivet claimed by Cowlumbus.
