  1. Willie D has managed to do in 20 games what the rest of the league couldn't do for the past decade: shut down the Sedins.

      Actually it's called age. It catches up with everyone. (Well almost, there's Jagr). 

      Sedin's: 26 and 23 points.

      Iginla: 11 points

      Zetterberg: 28 points

      Rick Nash: 20 points

      @Ghostsof1915 - you're not wrong, but that isn't the only reason for their poor performance. Botchford linked some stats that show the expected goals for % of every line that has been given a full game together this season. Out of the 9 are 4 different Sedin line combinations - all 4 of them are in the bottom 5. This isn't just a case of getting older - this season is putting the Torts season to shame. They're aren't playing well at all and in the last 10 games are producing less than our 2nd and 3rd lines (I blame Willie's decision to play Megna with them). 

      Willie needs to put the Sedins in a place to succeed if we're actually going to make the playoffs and putting Megna on their line is doing the opposite.

      Split them up - They've always done well on seperate lines, and are nowhere near as predictable.

       

  2. Baer + Scorevat = 100.

    Why? Because #47 + #53 = 100.

      It would be in our favour right now, relatively speaking, so I'm all for it.

      Regular season SO = fine

      Playoff SO = bad

       

      That Russia US game going on to another OT frame would have been great.

      IMO, continuous OT makes the gold medal game an endurance test, which is a far greater factor in determining the better team. Much more so than some 1v1 individual skills competition.

      Oh goshy gosh! I know; I am out at dinner, and was trying to take the red paint off the thing that surrounds the windows of my other place that I have to the 29th. There's something about red paint that just does not want to come off...

  12. Well...that happened.

  13. So who won Dec. 7th?

    1. Drive-By Body Pierce

      Drive-By Body Pierce

      I did! It was a long ass day, but my first ever power supply design worked after a single prototype.

    2. Drive-By Body Pierce

      Drive-By Body Pierce

      You apparently won May 7th, 2015!

  14. I last won on May 7, 2015, yet it still congradulates me.

      It's all good.

  15. Be sure to check your closet for a House Hippo. Those pests will steal your chips.

  16. That Zibanejad injury looked brutal in slow motion.

      Yes, it was an ugly sight indeed.

  17. That moment Markus Granlund has the same number of goals as McJesus.

      McDavid has 19 points in 18 games so it doesn't really say much about him IMO

    3. Cramarossa

      Cramarossa

      That's the unfortunate part. They are tied in goals yet McDavid is a point a game player and Granny...isn't. He's got great hustle though. 

    4. Where's Wellwood

      Where's Wellwood

      McDavid has much more offensive players around him to get those assists.

  18. It could have been Bernie.

      It's his own party's fault for that.

      Trump probably would have beat him too. 

  19. Nothing good will come from this election.

  20. Do you think they'll put up a picture of Al Montoya with the Habs logo behind him as a gesture of support on Facebook?

  21. YEARS SINCE THE CUBS LAST WON A WORLD SERIES: 0.

  22. Rain Delay? Why not?

  23. The one thing I like about us this year is that we make every team look beatable. We could have won against the Ducks had it not been for a few defensive mistakes, and see came back from a 3-0 deficit against the Kings. That never would've happened last season.

    1. BoomBoomBoeser

      BoomBoomBoeser

      Would like to see the Twins being a bit more dominant offensively but maybe its their age catching up. I guess we can't 'rely' on them solely anymore, or hopefully its just a slow start. If they can get going, Loui wakes up, and Rodin coming back, our team is at least a playoff contender. At least they are playing with heart this year, and making it exciting!

    2. Green Building

      There is still a completely different look to the games we play against LA and ANA. Burke must secretly love the truculence those 2 teams exhibit against us. It's that tough, western conference hockey that shows up in spades during the postseason, and while it's nice to see competitiveness in those 2 recent games, it also shows a little where we're weak, at least where we were weak on said night.

  24. Think Virtanen will get suspended?

      Good info from Kerry.

       

      In his last sentence he states: This is not a hockey player and must be eliminated. That's pretty harsh Kerry. :rolleyes:

       

       

    3. ShakyWalton

      ShakyWalton

      I think that is a misprint...I thought the same and it should read "hockey play"..

    4. Salmonberries

      Salmonberries

      Yeah, he put his head into the turnbuckle like Bulldog Brown there. 

       

      I bet he gets a few games for it.

  25. Power goes out in OT. :picard:However, I did get to witness some of the greatest Sedinery of all-time. Plus, we won in the end. GCG!!!
