I think he hurt his core.

Is Hudler seriously starting again tonight ? Put Draper in on the fourth and move Eaves up or something.

Surprise, surprise. One bad game and here they come.

Probably not. I was just trying to make a funny.

Hey everyone. I was browsing stats this morning when I noticed how huge of a percentage Crosby had of his teams goals and points (Crosby has 24 goals, second place guy has eight). I thought I'd dig a little deeper and compare him and the Pens to the other top teams in the league. I looked at the top two teams in each conference (Washington and Pitt in the east; Detroit and Dallas in the west), and looked at their top goal/assist/point producers and what percentage of their team's total they owned in each category. I also looked at the top three players as a combined total. In some cases, the individual with, say, the most goals was not the one with the most assists. In such cases, I have included full lines for each player, bolding the category in which they lead the team. Same goes for the player triplets. For example, two of Detroit's top three goal-scorers are not among their top-three point producers, so I included multiple combinations. Note that the sets of three are not necessarily an actual line, just the top three producers in each category. Make sense? Here's what I came up with: Pittsburgh Penguins Crosby: 27% goals, 15% assists, 20% points Crosty Kunits Malkin: 45% goals, 30% assists, 36% points Crosby Letang Malkin: 42% goals, 38% assists, 39% points Washington Capitals Semin: 19% goals, 10% assists, 13% points Ovechkin: 13% goals, 15% assists, 14% points Semin Ovechkin Backstrom: 44% goals, 38% assists, 40% points Dallas Stars Richards: 16% goals, 15% assists, 15% points Richards Neal Eriksson: 43% goals, 38% assists, 40% points Detroit Red Wings Franzen: 14% goals, 5% assists, 8% points Datsyuk: 9% goals, 13% assists, 12% points Cleary Franzen Zetterberg: 38% goals, 19% assists, 26% points Datsyuk Lidstrom Zetterberg: 23% goals, 35% assists, 31% points So. What do you think? It seems obvious that of the top four, Pittsburgh is the most imbalanced team, while the Wings are the most balanced. Does this matter? My gut is to say that we're in the best position because we would be the most resilient to injury (if Crosby goes down the Pens lose a quarter of their current goal production), but could it mean that no Wing is really playing a dominant game this season? Does it not really matter? Is there a better way to look at team scoring balance (I'd thought about doing it by actual lines, but that's problematic too because lines don't always play together)? Also, this is not a Crosby thread -- that's just what drew my attention to this whole issue. tl;dr -- discuss team scoring balance.

wings win 508924850823532 to 0~~ BOOOOOOOOOOM~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Poor Panger, he seems like a ripper bloke.

It certainly does. Just go to the top of the page and click the down arrow by your name. Then click on "manage ignored users". It will prompt you from there. I'll warn you- if you put Mindfly on ignore, you will be missing a great deal of comic gold. This, of course, does not in any way eradicate the possibility that he might be mentally challenged or annoying as s***. (j/k Sebastian- you know I love you.) EDIT: Forgot what I came for! Wings will bounce back and win this one. Wings: Kronner, Huds (OT) Preds: bounce off Huds' skate LGW goes nuts trying to decide if Huds is a hero or a villain.

huds will get'r goin, now with mads out, gotta shoot some more and he'll find his game....gotta have faith lads!

And I clicked on this thread hoping to see some video of somebody getting their bell rung. BAH HUMBUG!!

wooo looking forward to watching this one when I get home from work. I fully expect a good game and a red wings win tomorrow Also, does this forum have an "ignore" user feature? I seriously believe Mindfly is mentally challenged, and is annoying as s***. Thanks fellow true red wing fans

Yeah, guys, lets try to not blow the forum up this time...

I'd pay good money to see an attempt like this. I'm in full agreement with you on the intent to blow stuff when a whistle hasn't been blown yet after it crosses the goal line, but I can't really fault the refs when an example like what last night happened. The ref has to blow the whistle dead at some point, just sucked that it happened when the puck squirted loose and in after he eventually did blow the whistle. I don't particularly like it but under the current context it's hard to find fault with officials for this, even though they are a joke overall. For everybody else (EDIT: the people who are pumping their chests trying to tell each other off, you know who you are in here), f**king get over yourselves for crying out loud. Nobody gives a s**t who was right or who was wrong if you guessed the game outcome correctly or not to the 2000th power.

Uh...what "collateral damage" was done to Marc Savard? Or are you admitting fault, Campbell? Because none of this made Savard look bad. It was you, f***stick.

I love people on this site who predict that the Wings will lose every game (ie. Mindfly) and then when they do occasionally lose they act like they are the mesiah of hockey predictions !

Michigan was hungry and ate half of it.

Only worse... Wings are paying him more to Leino us. At least Leino was useless and cheap.

I'll be in the student section. Go Blue

I'm hoping for a game played on Lake Superior between Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan. It would be called the Gitchigumi Heritage Classic.

This is a really dumb poll. When I found out it was made 4 games in, that made it even dumber.

Less posting and more thinking please

Someone make a Hudler thread
