  1. then they announce a new captain next week when LE gets sent down
  2. I've despised that drop pass for years, it's like watching a slow motion car wreck.. I think it used to be more effective with the Sedins but now it's painful. you mention Caps 44% success rate at zone entry - where are we at? 25? getting set up is hard enough, without watching Leivo bobble a pass and starting over.. I've also noticed sometimes Bo will make a great rush and gain the zone, only to make a shot - why not wait for help and set up? I think it's a confidence thing, and as the team gels and Hughes gets more comfortable, the pp will improve.. if not, NB will likely be flipping burgers
  3. Our boys will have all that & more tomorrow.. no guff.. always nice watching the Flames lose too..
  4. I know right? I've been hoping they would try that line and that they totally crush it, just so we can have the 6 40 9 jackpot line.. can't wait
  5. not according to Detroit fans.. word on the street is he struggled the first 2 years in ncaa, then improved a bunch the next 2 years, but not enough to make any impact in grand rapids.. and apparently, at 25, he won't figure it out soon enough to see a day in the bigs..
  6. just turned the game on for that 5 on 3.. some serious oil & water on the pp.. has newell brown been on vacation or....?
  7. having not really examining the sched, I'd hope the boys run at .500 till the all star break and maybe at .700 from then on.. this gives a shot at making the playoffs with confidence and hopefully winning some games.
  8. how much longer is EP40's sophomore slump going to last?? this is unbearable..
  9. geez I knew Myers was tall but hadn't really looked at a photo.. that's a 2 scarf neck there..
  10. internet still works under all that snow? hyuk hyuk..
  11. this exactly.. it's a shame because he plays hard in the dirty areas, has talent and seems to be well liked in the room.. somebody had to go.. why not the guy who only plays half a season anyways..
  12. is Pearson better in the top 6 than Sven? not sure.. both had good chemistry with Bo..
  13. I would guess that he gets 10 games for this. it's unfortunate because the linesman got too involved in the play and should've just let them go.. you know Engelland was laughing his a$$ off about it, maybe he should've been ejected as well.. Kane can be a game changer if he could just hold it together. his first season in SJ, he put up points and was very effective.. then he had that whole tragic lost baby thing and maybe that was a catalyst but it seems like his anger is getting the best of him. teams know he has a short fuse, so they target him.. as the most penalized player in the league, maybe the refs are targeting him too, and now he will likely have the league after him.. I am glad he's not in blue & green..
  14. hmmm... I can agree with the first 2 points, but I don't find his offense any better than granny's.. if that was the case, wouldn't he be looking at a top 6 role? higgy might be a decent comparable tho..
  15. I agree with you, but I do wonder how many more times this will be said..
  16. ok but isn't that what 'they' used to say about Granny..? just sayin..
  17. that's how my boy started.. at 2 he had a wicked backhand.. he could send a real puck the length of the kitchen and dining room 4 ft the air.. (wife was not as impressed as i was).. this last season he was cheering for Boston, I cheered for st Louis.. great bonding
  18. you said do do game day is different now.. used to watch the game in the hot tub with many beers, or head to someone 's house.. now I play kitchen hockey with my little guy between periods. I would participate in shotgun Jake, but usually I can't..
  19. I had a feeling this thread could get nasty..
  20. I suspect that AG is intended to replace Sutter at 3C when that contract comes up.. While Adam has put forth a fantastic preseason, at this point he isn't ready to replace Sutter, especially weaker in the faceoff category.. He could likely see more short term NHL success on the wing, but that doesn't help his development at center. For this reason, in addition to the whole waiver thing, I believe he will start the year in the A, probably as the first line C.. And if history has shown is anything, it won't be long before Sutter is injured and AG is back up again anyway..
