    He and Glendenning have been downright heroic on the PK.

    Nyquist Fined for Diving/Embellishment

    Well. No dives tonight. Except for the Calgary dude on Quincey’s penalty.

    Which defines all rules of gerontology considering he looked slow last night.

    I understand you just gave up a short-handed goal, but to put Ericsson out there next shift with 40 seconds left in the PP? That’s classic Babcock.

    17-14 shots 1-1 score 3-0 PP Are the Flames really that disciplined?

    Well they just said Datsyuk was only 35% last night. So he was drunk or something.

    I think I just saw the moment, after that penalty, where Babcock went to Hiller and said “no more ice time for Weiss”

    Pure offensive dynamo. He'd look soooooo good on Glendenning's wing

    Harold, aren't you a Kings fan sort of? What's your opinion of their captain?

    Ha. Thd 2nd one is the source of that great collection of Kesler dive gifs. http://vansunsportsblogs.com/2012/04/18/the-six-best-ryan-kesler-tumbleweed-gifs/ That's why I referred to him as Tumbleweed in an earlier post.

    Also, how the hell did Kassian not get fined for his dive against Franzen on Saturday? I'd love to see a league breakdown of what constitutes a fine-worthy dive, much like the Shanaban head-shot videos. Those would be pretty fun to watch

    Nyquist Fined for Diving/Embellishment

    What worries me is that Nyquist essentially got fined for being bad at diving. If he was a real pro like Kesler, we wouldn't even be talking about this right now.

    Bad Nyquist bad bad. That being said, how many times have Ryan "Tumbleweed" Kesler or Pavelski been fined? Is it 10? The answer better be 10. Also, I should add: if the NHL is serious about getting rid of the dives, then stop calling the initial friggin infraction too. Just send one guy to the box for unsportsmanlike. Then the other team can point at him and laugh, and then score on the PP.

    Randy Carlyle relieved of his duties by Leafs

    Because it's just that easy eh? LOL If I were him, I'd stay in Detroit. If I were Detroit, I'm not so sure what I'd want him to do.

  17. What about helmet throwing? How do you feel about helmet throwing?

    1/6 GDT : Red Wings 4 at Edmonton Oilers 2

    Yeah. Weiss looked great. I can see why he might fail Babcock's "eye test" because he's not hard or heavy on the puck at all. Or even looking at possesion numbers, he might not fair well because he doesn't keep the puck for long. He makes plays quickly. Quick short pasees, things like this. But when you play him with skilled players (as was the case last night) you can see that his hands and IQ are top notch.
  19. Oilers were able to get a late 1st from Pittsburgh for Perron. IMO, he'd be the forward/winger equivalent of Petry. BUt Perron's signed for two more years at a very reasonable cap hit. Petry's a UFA this July. But top 4 blueliners are harder to come buy so the supply vs demand is unfavourable for the buyer. Based on this, I think it would take Helm + a 2nd. Holland would need to move a d-man though, so Kindl + Andersson + 2nd. Tell McT to take it or f*** off.

    Do we need a trade to get our offence going ?

    -47 LOL Schultz makes Mike Green look like Chris Pronger

    The Oliers have improved by adding Klinkhammer and Roy and also by getting Nikitin back from injury. Plus they got a "season best" performance from Fasth. The Wings dominated that game last night. But man, Yakupov and Schultz were terrible.

    Hey. What did you think of that play where Quincey wasn’t trying to not lose?
