And the penalty he drew, the cross check he took to the head didn't slow him at all. No "omg, I got hit in the side of the head, ouch, look everybody, ouch, someone hit me with their stick! "

My absolute favorite part of that Nyquist goal was when Mickey says "Oh My.........Oh My God"

Did you guys hear Ken Daniels quoting Babcock on Glenny: "Other than Nick Lidstrom, Steve Yzerman, Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Crosby, Toews, and Bergeron, Luke Gendening is the most competitive player I've ever coached."

Glendening is shutting down and pissing off the likes of Crosby and Stamkos in his rookie season - and he wasn't even suppposed to be on the roster. That's huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge. Goals will come. He's certainly had his chances.

Then we miss the playoffs. Anderson was and could not be our #1 center.

It's weird. If this were pretty much any other season except this one, I'd want the Flyers or Rangers like whoa. But this season? They both scare me. (Not counting my chickens, just saying.)

This is what makes Datsyuk so special amongst Russian forwards, his ability to play both ends of the ice is second to none. It will take a special kind of Russian in the NHL to be Captain and lead his team to a Stanley Cup. Dats is really the only one that could do it, we saw his level of play at the Olympics on one leg, best player on the Russian bench. Ovie is going to need to go through a transformation as you pointed out like Stevie Y did if he wants to get to the promised land.

f***....Christian Folan (This year's Dekeyser only he's Swede and right-handed) signed with Minnesota... Per Pierre Lebrun

LEafs fans deserve every bit of this. Sure there are a few good Leafs fans I feel sorry for. But their general fan base? This looks good on them.

As Grumpy Cat would say......ah, No.

That's awesome. The kid is a revelation. What he's doing is, to me, as impressive as what Nyquist is doing on the other end of the rink. The sort-of irony is that having a(n admittedly offensively-challenged) shutdown stud anchoring your fourth line should, in theory, open things up a bit for your other three lines, which can make all the difference in the world in a tight-checking best-of-seven. If, say, Zetterberg doesn't have to shadow the opposition's biggest gun on every shift, he can focus more on scoring, maybe get more o-zone starts, maybe get some favorable line matchups at home. IMHO, that's largely where postseason series are won. The matchups chess match.

To sum up the name of this thread: They don't. They really don't.

From what I've ready everyone's always said how good a 2 way player he is and is defensively responsible... Might also be a reason he's up in Nashville and forsberg is still in milwaukee I can't read swedish so I'll have to take your word for it ... But I know he went on twitter and said all the rumors were false Embrace the thread lol ... Help it reach 100 pages

If you're counting on Jarnkrok to shadow Crosby you're going to get destroyed, that's why he isn't even considered for Miller, or Glendening's roles. He could play in Andersson's spot that he's currently occupying, but at the time Calle was traded, Andersson was on the checking line which is the absolute worst place for Jarnkrok to play. Emmerton wasn't even in the NHL at the time of the trade, he was only called up because another center went down. Had Jarnkrok not threatened to go back to Sweden necessitating the trade he would have got his NHL shot with the Wings right then. And before anyone claims that the idea of him going back to Sweden was made up, he admitted it himself to Swedish media. http://arbetarbladet.se/sport/ishockey/1.7003458-jarnkrok-jag-var-nara-att-flytta-hem-till-brynas- Headline translates to " I was close to moving home to Brynasgatan"

This thread already induces headaches. That sentence does not help...

There are gonna be so many people on these forums eating crow once Weiss is healthy. And I cannot wait.

I may be the only one, but banging on the glass like that is one of the d-baggiest things that can be done at a hockey game. You block the view of others, and if it's distracting to one team, it's distracting to your team. Also, that's a damn funny video.

The dude is built like bull, a hockey machine, every ability you could want is there. If played like Lindros he could be better than crysby

Not sure if people know but Tyler Bertuzzi is back from his serious injury earlier this season and is now leading his team in the playoffs. 3 goals and 1 assist in 3 playoff games so far. I know quite a few (looking at you Richdg) who completely counted this kid out and wrote him off for nothing. Glad to see he's back and seeing success.

Sorry Mr. Hall of Famer! Don't get your panties in a bunch!

That's Tatar not Smith.

PHI and PIT with 2 goal leads in the 3rd!

I'd like to see at least a pre-season game with Z-Dats-Mantha.

Same as we need this year. Big forward that can score and a second pairing puck mover who's better than Smith. That's it.
