Anyone know if the new guy we just signed Mike Zalewski will be playing tn? It said he's joining the canucks for the road trip.

Also I predict Kassian and Jensen will have good chemistry if they ever get on a line together (Kass Schroeder Jensen please)

 

I would love to see that line play together

Well, the draft pick thread had me hoping for a string of losses but last game has rejuvenated me. I wasn't planning on watching it all but it was very entertaining and we're still in the thick of it, although those games in hand are daunting.

I can't help it we finally got playoff weather in Calgary here and I love playoffs, even if it's only 4 games. :)

GO NUCKS !!! :towel::canucks:

- Ovechkin averages 20:49 minutes a game. (Kesler: 22:08 / Daniel 21:14 / Henrik 21:04)

- Ovechkin's ice time is only inflated on the PP he averages 5:09 a game. #2 is Malkin at 4:20.

The team is a -9 sitting 3 points out of a playoff spot.

Ovechkin is over a PPG.

Even if the defense is poor that is still unreal to have a -27 with all those factors.

I am also speaking from just watching him this season and years past as a fan of one of his rival teams. Ovechkin doesn't help the defense or his goalie at all and if anything helps give up high scoring chances. Some Caps fans themselves will even joke and say he doesn't play bad defense he just doesn't play defense.

SKIP TO 0:43 IN THE VIDEO

Extreme example of course but that is the way AO is prone to being on defense. Lazy and just doesn't bother. If I was confident about anything in hockey it's that AO is as bad defensively as he is good offensively.

I'm Not sure if you noticed, but I never said he was good defensively, I just said the -27 stat was overblown. He isn't good at defense, and he isn't in the league because of defence. The guy is here because he can score.

He has 1 less this year than Henrik, Daniel, and Kesler combined.

We desperately could use a player like Ovechkin on this team.
