Howard hasn't been good lately. Time to give Osgood a few starts.

less talky more drinky. I know it's a weeknight, but the team needs you.

Don't say white, don't say white, don't say white, don't say white... White way.... damn it!

Don't be too proud. The only reason that Canada as you know it never participated in slavery is quite simply because it isn't old enough, even if you go as far back as 1867. You might also want to do some reading on pre-confederation Canada. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Canada Slavery is as old as human history, and I get really hacked off at the modern day PC propaganda that slavery was something that was only done by white europeans to black africans.

That's not what the coach thinks “I didn’t think he had an opportunity,” Babcock said of Howard. “The last one, he got a shoulder on it and it went in the joint. I don’t know what you want him to do on the other two. Both of them were the same kind of plays by the net. Our (defense) should have had the first one sorted out, and the second one went off (Ericsson).”

What could we get for Datsyuk?? I'm thinking one of the bubble teams might want some of our guys, maybe Hank or Franzen to assist them with their playoff runs. Obviously we won't be in the situation to challange so we might as well load up on picks/prospects.

Or like Bill Jeanerette calling us "the rings" during a radio commentary a couple of years ago. Now that was a freudian slip

Thomas has two losses, an overtime loss, and he played the first 40 minutes of a 5-3 loss to Washington which ended up being credited as a loss for Tuukka Rask. In the four Bruin losses Thomas has played in, the Bruins have scored three or more goals three times, and were shut out once. Rask has been in net during seven Bruin losses. The Bruins scored two goals twice, three goals during the Washington game, and one goal in each of the four other losses. Thomas is having a great season, but so is Rask. They are playing for the same team; why are their win/loss records so wildly different? The answer: because the offense has not shown up for Rask. Rask's only win was a 4-0 shutout where he made 41 saves, but Boston's second goal didn't come until there were only five minutes left to play. Thomas is very valuable, but Boston is not in a situation where Thomas is carrying a team that would otherwise not be winning to a bunch of wins. Boston averages 3.93 GF/G in Thomas' wins. Both of his regulation losses were the Bruins being shut out. His OTL was a shootout loss to break a 3-3 tie. So as you can see, The Bruins' ability to win rests on their offense, not their goaltending. The offense has simply had more 'off' nights for Rask than Thomas, which has led to Rask's poor W/L record.

For Sale: 2 tickets to Friday's game against the Habs.

More like Brett Stuart.

Penalty killing was very good in the 2nd. Need moar goal in the 3rd.

I acutally agree with you. He is getting chances and then ******* them up. Rather then not getting any chances at all.

Thank god for Ericsson. Wow, never though I'd say that.

I'm here. Opening a beer in a moment.

Will you have hot females in the age range of 21-26 years of age with you? If you say yes, then it will be for your liquor and women!

Still applies. Good riddance.

You seem to be confusing the most valuable player to the most talented player. Crosby is carrying his team more than Datsyuk. The Pens would be WAY worse off without him in the lineup. The Wings would survive without Datsyuk.

With Crosby, it's not only the point totals, his defensive game is actually pretty good. He's improved year after year, which is largely not noticeable, but this year, a lot of people are actually noticing his defensive game. He's not going to win the selke this year and is not on the same level as Dats yet in terms of defensive game, but I woudln't be surprised if he gets there at some point in the next few years, he just seems to have an uncanny ability to go away during the summer and work on a part of the game people think is lacking and comes back for the next season vastly improved in that area.

i just about pooped myself laughing at your where's hudler avatar pic. that's probably as funny as all the hudlers laughing at selanne on someones profile. off topic, but worth mention i think.

those are all good candidates. if crosby keeps playing like this he'll have the hart on lockdown

Look, I don't mean to go all Carman on you here, but have you seen Crosby's numbers this season? Have you seen his numbers compared to his teammates? I love Datsyuk all day long, but hands down Crosby is the MVP right now, and it has nothing to do with a league bias or crush on him.

Yeah...and that is ridiculous. To be living in such overly PC-ified times that you actually end up feeling horrible and getting a knot in your stomach for making an innocent mistake in speech, that meant nothing more than being a simple slip of the tongue in two words that are nearly identical, is a sad state of affairs.

Is that you, Al Sharpton?

it sounds like something elmer fudd would say

Less posting and more thinking please
