Montreal ought to wear skirts onto the ice their next game after that.
And someone needs to slap Todd McClellen and remind him that he has a backup goaltender.

That might suit Plekanec.

Embarrassing loss, obviously. Time to see what the team's made of. They don't have long to figure it out....

So. If you ignore the atrocity that was the Red Wings game...the Bruins are 6-0, outscoring opponents 30-5 in the games I've attended this year.
Hell, even WITH the Red Wings game its 6-1, and 31-11. Not bad, not bad.

Re: 2010-2011 NHL Season Part II - Concussions Are Serious Business, Savvy?
hate to say I told ya so, but last night proved to me that montreal was not in any way collectivly in the teams head in a bad way. Last nights game wasn't even close.
Two big wins against two teams that need them. the PP looked better, the team hit, they skated, they won KEY lose pucks in the offensive zone. Marchand out muscling Subban AND gill to keep pocession dosen't show up on the score sheet, but should. Thats pure heart right there
Does anyone else think Subban is going to break the slap shot record? That kids got a ****ing nuclear missle. I wish he was playing for boston!

Did the Rangers even show up for the first two periods of that game?
The shootout was pathetic. Yeah, lets send out Christensen to take the first shootout attempt. I wouldn't worry at all about him being stiff or mentally unprepared, just because he sat for (I believe) all of the third and OT.

Re: 2010-2011 NHL Season Part II - Concussions Are Serious Business, Savvy?
Despite the fact that Christensen was cold, he's pretty clearly at least one of the top 4 shootout guys in the lineup last night (along with Zuccarello and Wolski and Prospal), and has been one of the team's main guys in those situations all season. Most of the team's other skill players (Gaborik, Stepan, Callahan, Dubinsky) have shown that they aren't good at shootouts. Of the four guys who it might make sense to use, I don't know why he wouldn't have gone with Prospal (40% in 15 career shootout attempts, 5:34 in the 3rd, 1:01 in OT) rather than either Christensen (52% in 42 attempts, no ice time in the 3rd and OT) or Zuccarello (56% in 9 attempts, no ice time in the 3rd, 0:26 in OT), in addition to Wolski who is good at shootouts and also was playing significant minutes (43% in 49 attempts, 3:17 in the 3rd and 0:46 in OT). But the order doesn't really matter, because A) it's not like Christensen would have been any looser if he was the 3rd shooter coming off hardly playing at all, and B) he would've been somewhere in the first 5, and nobody else scored anyway.

Re: 2010-2011 NHL Season Part II - Concussions Are Serious Business, Savvy?
I know normally Christensen is money in the SO, but dang, the guy hadn't been on the ice since the second period. I disagree on the order. I think there is a huge difference mentally between being the first shooter and the third shooter. I would much rather have a player who has actually been on the ice in the past 40 minutes or so go first. But I guess that is why I am watching from home and not from behind the bench. Of course, I rarely understand much of any of Tortorella's line combos/benchings/scratches anyway.

Re: 2010-2011 NHL Season Part II - Concussions Are Serious Business, Savvy?
Well, maybe you're right. I mean, I'm not behind an NHL bench either. I do maintain that it's basically moot since none of the other guys (who had more time to prepare mentally) were able to get it done either.

Question (said in a Dwight Schrute voice): Does the individual who opens the penalty box door have any responsibilities besides opening and closing the door?
Question: How does one get that job?
Question: Why does that individual (usually a male, just an observation) have to wear a tie? Is there a casual day concept?
