Wrong. By any statistical evaluation he was the 4th best D-Man on the team the year he played. His minutes were #6 but that was because WD had a hate on for him for some reason.

Bullsh*t penalty to kill the goal. The San Jose players stick went up because the Colorado backchecker lifted it. Not his action. Clear the NHL has told the Refs to penalize the Sharks whenever possible. I am not cheering for the Sharks but the NHL is compounding the previous error which allowed them to win the Vegas series with bad officiating in this series. This is the worst of the 'Even Up' style of Reffing which happens in the NHL all the time when an incompetent Ref make a bad call then decides to fix his previous stupid decision. NHL needs to have automatic video review on all goals for 1 minute prior to the goal and the option for a team to call for a review for any reason. That would have erased the stupid penalty on Vegas and this stupid penalty causing a no goal.

I was not a big fan of his writing, but sad to see someone so young pass away prematurely. Best wishes to his family.

#1 If the Sharks squander the opportunity Jones is giving them with his goaltending, they will be in trouble. He is trying his best to steal the game... but is getting no support. #2 Erik Karlsson is playing better in this game than at anytime in the playoffs so far... he is skating and passing well... not Ottawa level, but if he can get back to 75% of what he was with the Sens, that will be a huge factor. #3 MacKinnon is a BEAST.

#1 priority after the 1st pick has got to be for Benning to sign Tryamkin and bring him back to Van. He is everything which the Canucks need... a big intimidating stay at home D who has reach, who can control the boards and can wheel out of his own end when the opportunity presents itself. His acquisition would immediately make life safer for EP, Boeser and the goalies. He is exactly the type of player who would thrive in the playoffs.... just like Chara does.

This is the guy the Canucks should be targeting. If it means giving up a piece to Edmonton, then so be it.
-
Broberg is the guy... he is in the Canucks slot in the Draft rankings too. Big, mobile, and intelligent.... the second coming of Alex Edler. (Eddie before his back injury cut down on his skating and hitting)

NHL Apologizes to George McPhee

Kelly Sutherland gets a pass because he does exactly what the League wants him to do... fix the playoffs in favour of those teams with inside pull. -
Calder Trophy finalists unveiled
*Buzzsaw* replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
I know the playoffs supposedly don't count for the Calder voting, but I really think the deeper the Blues go into the playoffs, the better Binnington's chances are. He was supposedly not eligible for only playing part of the season, then supposedly not eligible for being older... but was nominated anyway. The NHL knows the St Louis market has not been doing great for 15 years, and having a Calder winner will sell tickets next year no matter how well the Blues do in the post season. I think the NHL, given a close comparison, will pick an American player from an American team anytime over a Swede from a West Coast Canadian team. -
Objectively the Leaf's situation is not that bad. Yes, they will have CAP problems... yes, they did throw money around and inked some stupid signings. But they still do have an excellent young core and they will be able to unload some of their poorer signings. Nylander should garner a decent return... assuming they realize they need to trade him. They should ask for prospects, they don't want CAP coming back. Leafs are in nowhere near as bad a shape as Edmonton. But Leafs management needs to realize they will have to scale back their ambitions and realize they are still in building mode for the next two years.

The year of the upset... I picked the Caps to win it all again... but they always have trouble with their first round series. This game was wrapped and done at 3-1 and then the Caps let their foot off the gas and let the Canes back in. The Caps are definitely a better team, but Rod Brind'Amour is definitely got this Carolina team believing and working hard to achieve their goals. Not sure Carolina will get much further, but give them credit, they are a TEAM.

Sharks really didn't deserve to win... the refs call for the Pavelski dump was not a good one... that was a simple hockey play, at best a two minute interference play. Was not an intentional injury by the Vegas players. And I thought Vegas was the better team in OT. But that's hockey. My prediction is the Sharks will not get past the Avalanche. The Sharks are too banged up. Erik Karlsson is skating on 1 leg, Pavelski likely gone for a game or two... Joe Thornton looked like he was gonna have a heart attack in that OT.

I really hate the way Marchand plays dirty... but he is a hell of a hockey player. On the other hand I really love the way Bergeron plays... the definition of a complete player. MacAvoy is a gem... great young defenseman. Chara is a sonuvab*tch, but also a hell of a player. And Rask gets the job done. I really dislike Boston, but no question they have an excellent team.
