1/15 GDT: Blue Jackets 5 at Red Wings 6 (OT)
marcaractac replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in General
This to me honestly feels more like 2008 than last season. Last season things were tough right from the start, and the depth wasn't there. In 2008, much like this season, they were flying high and playing really well until the injuries hit. Last season it was all long term injuries to key players, putting the huge work load on whoever was left. This year they have more depth, and a lot of the kids are getting a lot of experience. If we can be healthy come sometime in early-mid march, I think this will be a good thing for the playoff run, much like how the adversity they faced in February 2008 seemed to help out a lot for that cup run. Last season the injuries forced the team to rely on the remaining key players to be over worked because they were outside looking in of the playoff picture for a lot of the season. This year they are near the top of the standings and because of that they can spread a lot of the work load on the young guns being put into the line up, and players like Eaves who has really stepped it up. Once we get Datsyuk and Cleary back things will get easier, and hopefully the injury to Howard it not overly serious and that he only has to miss a handful of games. They'll have the last month of the season to get Mo, Stewie, and Ozzie back into game shape, so assuming there is no more significant injuries to key players they should be fine. The Allstar break coming up is a huge blessing as well. -
You make it sound as if Price has proved himself in the playoffs.

If I'm looking for a cap friendly goalie to build a team around, based on current salaries I'd go with Halak.

eberle is gonna be great as well. seeing him in the world juniors the last 2 years, he is retardedly clutch.

Stevie Y became my hero as a kid, and then I quickly fell in love with the team back in the early 90's as soon as I started watching them.

f*** that Howard save was HUGE!!!

Oh well, there is no shootout to save Phoenix in the playoffs!!

Same. The east is always so easy to predict. Only series I recall getting wrong the past couple years was Carolina over Boston last year. I still have a shot at getting the west right to. I still think Chicago will beat the Preds. I knew the Preds would give them a hard time anyway. The only series I hope to get wrong is the Vancouver/Kings series, because I hate the Canucks and would love to see the Kings put them out.

...and mindfly will STILL complain, in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

I'd imagine Draper and Miller are shoe-ins for the 4th line if they keep Cleary-Helm-Eaves together, with the 3rd spot being up for grabs between May and Abdelkader.

Blackhawks officially eliminated as first round opponent

This can't happen. LA and SJ are in the same division, both cannot be in the top 3 and LA cannot catch SJ. -

Same. I mean, even when the Wings put on a dominating performance, he STILL finds something to ***** about. I can't understand how somebody can enjoy being a fan if they are gonna be so damn negative about everything. It must certainly take the fun out of it. -
