I hate that because the Hamburglar is hot and he's having a Roy/Hextall type rookie run.

Well you can't have your cake and smell it too.









But seriously, who the F is Andrew Hammond? And how badly is his fall back to earth going to be in the playoffs?

Also good to hear your boy dupuis should be ok for next year. Blood clots are nothing to play around with.

Yay, Ottawa! And y'all still have a game in hand!

Down with the Bruins!

And they've made up exactly zero points in the wildcard race during this stretch. Still not mathematically eliminated, but making up 8 points in 9 games ain't gonna happen. Funny how playing like shite for 3/4 of the season and then putting your foot on the gas at the end doesn' work out.

I knew when I saw the Preds on the schedule tonight that we weren't gonna win that fricking game.

Can the playoffs hurry up and get here already so we can get punched in the mouth by the Sens?

I was at the Preds / Habs game tonight. Couple of things:

1) preds appear to have regained the ability to beat a good opponent. The Habs outplayed them the entire game, except for one player.

2) that one player was Carey Price. He may be the first Vezina winner to let in a goal as shitty as the Ryan Ellis goal.

3) forseberg for Erat has to be the trade of the decade.

4) how many minutes should PK play a game? Seems he was on the ice the entire game. He is probably my favorite non ranger player but a guy only has so much in the tank.

It’s not as if the Penguins don’t know.

It’s not as if Jim Rutherford, a hockey man for more than a half-century, doesn’t see it from the press box. Or Mike Johnston, a career coach, doesn’t see it from behind the bench. Or all the many capable evaluators on both men’s staffs haven’t noted it in report after report.

They all know Chris Kunitz is … well, if he isn’t done, then for sure he’s not getting anything done.

And concurrently, they all must know this terribly uncomfortable situation for all concerned requires a real solution sooner rather than later.

Man, that’s no fun to write. It never is when criticizing an athlete, a person who’s achieved so much. And Kunitz has achieved more than most in the sport, between his 223 NHL goals and 510 points, his Stanley Cup in 2009 after arriving in a beauty of a trade a couple months earlier, and his stick-it-to-the-world huge goal in Canada’s gold-medal championship in Sochi last winter.

But that player, sadly, no longer takes the ice.


quote:

Why not Kasperi Kapanen?

And yes, this is serious. He’s only 18, he’s still a little on the thin side, and his next NHL shift will be his first. But the team’s most recent first-round draft pick, who would be available as soon as his Finnish Elite League team is out of the playoffs, has been playing among adult pros for years now — and playing well — and he’d be one of the Penguins’ best skaters and shooters the moment he goes over the Consol boards.

If not now, then … well, why not now?

This team is built for the now. We hear that all the time, so let’s see it in action. Think big. Think about Crosby being healthy, Malkin being the same once he returns, and having Marc-Andre Fleury enjoying a career year, then ask why the organization wouldn’t put Kapanen in this position?

Whatever the solution, it’s got to be clear to all that rolling Kunitz — or Bennett, for that matter — onto regular shifts and power plays is akin to slamming one’s head repeatedly into a goal post.

Down that route lies four-and-out.


Poor Kuni.

Almost forgot. The kings own the Rangers. Man it sucks to have your team be so good and not be able to get a W against a team that is scrapping for a freakin' wild card.

stars win again. whatever, numbers and stuff. I'm sure it's just variance

Max: what is Kari's record over the last 15? I know it's good I just don't know the numbers and they haven't said it on the post game show

Not sure on his stats but he's won 9 straight road games. First time in Dallas history a goalie has done that. Only other guys that have done that this season are Price and Dubnyk.

Yeah I noticed this as well, do they have a game in hand like against Boston? Do these 3 teams play each other again over the last 9 or 10 games left?

I had a drunken dream that we blanked Edmonton 5-0, so there's that


I know our chances are literally slim to none, but I have had more fun watching them since the Cole trade than I have all season
