Well to be fair they did have future hall-of-famer Justin Pogge.

I recorded the game and remembered it. He says this at 14:20 of the 2nd period. This is word for word. "Mike Babcock got our attention today when he rated Glendening one his top 10 most competitive players he's ever coached. I mean he's got Lidstrom, Datsyuk, Zetterberg...talking about guys like Crosby and Toews. Here's a kid who was a walk-on in college, undrafted in the NHL, 3rd/4th line minutes in the NHL and ranking right up there with those future hall of famers. Just the names he said...Yzerman, Lidstrom, Crosby, Toews and Bergeron........and Glendening....."

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

Because that would open up even more space for Backstrom. If there's one guy in the league you don't give space...it's Backstrom.

Are we just rounded up ages on everyone over 30 now?

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

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.

So Brodeur can make fun of Avery's personal life but Avery can't attack him back? The whole thing is childish and Brodeur should know better...he had it coming this time...

Source? I haven't seen Legwand centered out by anyone except the media... They changed the line combos in game and have stuck with it. They're doing there best to make it a bigger story than it is...

Who might that be......and no, made up Vancouver trade scenarios don't count. This confuses me since you also said this stuff today... Whatever supports your point at the time....

Riiiiiiight........lol

I don't get it....is it supposed to be funny? I watched 2 minutes of one of the videos and it was cringe-worthy.

Kerry Fraser explains why it's a good goal....and he's right...

Zetterberg's plan is to return in time for beginning of playoffs. Video

He also had an absolutely horrible giveaway that lead directly to Colorado's second goal. It's not all rainbows and puppies.

So today via Twitter The Penguins asked fans to submit questions for James Neal. Hilarity ensues... Some examples... Flyers Nation ‏@FlyersNation 3h James, do you get the biggest thrill out of kneeing someone in the head or cross checking them in the head? #AskNeal John Forsyth ‏@blackbear93 1h #askneal if you could go back in time and end the career of any player in NHL history who would you choose? Steph ‏@myregularface 1h Is it more rewarding to score a goal or concuss another human? #AskNeal Greg ‏@GDubs10 2h . @penguins Hey James, long time fan first time tweeter. What's your favorite hockey play? The Flying V or the Flying Elbow? #askneal Jeff Mehmel ‏@ThaBKeeper 2h Have you ever cross checked or kneed your grandma in the head? Stupid question. Of course you have, you're James Neal #askneal @penguins Steph ‏@myregularface 2h If you could have any super power, how would you use it to hit opponents in the head? #askneal Mike From Attleboro ‏@MikeFromATown 2h How does one go about playing as dirty as you do while fighting less than the Swiss? #AskNeal Steph ‏@myregularface 2h If Crosby wasn't your teammate, would you try to knee him in the head or use a different body part to contact his head? #askneal

Updates from Holland: Datsyuk: “Don’t know what’s next. I’ll talk to the trainers and doctors to see what’s next, but right now he’s still going through the time he needs to give it a chance to heal.” Zetterberg: “I don’t know when he’ll be cleared to skate. I’m told at around eight weeks he’ll be cleared for physical contact. I do know before the end of the season he’ll be back skating, but I just don’t know when.” Weiss: “He had a second opinion. The second opinion was similar to that of the Philadelphia doctor, Myers’ opinion. I think what’s going to happen is he’ll get a cortisone injection, hoping it relieves things. We don’t know if it’s inflammation or if it’s a different issue or if it’s scar tissue. He feels OK going 65, 70, 75 percent, but when he pushes all out he feels pain and when he gets pain he backs back off. He’s been told to push through. He’s pushed through. We’re going to give him another 72 hours and keep our fingers crossed that there’s some progress.” Cleary: “I think he’s frustrated at the lack of … during the Olympic break he did some things and he had a reaction. He got some fluid on his knee, had it drained then he got some more fluid on his knee. He feels better, but nowhere near where he needs it to be to talk about practicing every day and making a comeback.”

This Montreal/Boston is very entertaining.

Joe Conidi ‏@JoeConidi 35m #AskNeal Why do players keep trying to victimize you with vicious headbutts to your knees and elbows? lol

I can't decide if that's clever or just plain creepy...

Do you think Kesler, Backes and Dubinsky are top 6 forwards?? Because they have almost an identical points per game as Legwand and are also good defensively...

******* Catalina Wine Mixer?

I'd love to hear your reasoning for that... And...you just posted it as I asked... I disagree. Top 6 for sure.

I would say definitely not. Not at this time of year with the position we're in. They're going to ice the lineup that they feel gives us the best chance to win.

He's more talented than he lets on. He's not just a checking line center.
