I have no doubt that he would take a job elsewhere. The idea that Yzerman is the "heir apparent" gives the short of the stick firmly to Nill, who has certainly paid his dues under Holland and is familiar with the organization at all levels. It would be cool to see Stevie as Detroit's GM but it's hardly a given.

I'd love to see a better shot of that Bert penalty. It was on the edge of the picture from both angles I saw. Based on that it look like he maybe sneezed on Keith on the way by.

Personally, I don't think the comparison is even fair. Kronwall has had years more development and has been a defenseman for his entire professional career. E was a foraward until coming across the pond. At this point, Kronwall wins hands down but, as I said, this is apples and oranges. Give E another few years and we'll see then. I'd like to see him play the body more and unleash his shot more.

Is it just me, or does the Sharks announcer on the right look like a bald John C. Reilly?It's not just you.

This whole thing boggles my mind. It's like everyone just went collectively bonkers. Also, the line from the news broadcast, "It's not a disgrace; it's hockey," is priceless.
The thing that bums me out is the exchange on the youtube link. At the end, right after the priceless line quoted above, you see the newscaster just shake her head in disbelief. That face is what most non-fans think about hockey, which is really too bad. I've lost count of how many times I've had to justify my love of hockey. I'm in academia and let's just say I don't meet a lot of kindred spirits. I've had to get into it with people who think hockey is about as legit as the WWF. That's a sad thing.

I haven't thought about it because it isn't going to happen. Howard is having a great rookie year but he'd be the first to admit he created a lot of those shot opportunities himself by letting out far too many rebounds. One excellent game doesn't mean it's time to go bananas and trade the other guy. Nor is there anything in that article (or any other that I've read) that would imply that a trade is even being contemplated.

Well that was seemingly inevitable. Wings should be ashamed of themselves with this nonsense.

Woooooooot! We just had to wait for the PP to end!

these injuries are getting f----- ridiculous(do these forums care about swearing? i've been to a couple that do haha)

That was awesome.

I had no problem believing that they might rack up a bill this high. I've spent $400 for only two people at a decent french restaurant (before grad school when I had actual income). Trying to argue the bill down is just sleazy (sort of like not tipping).
-
I definitely saw this one coming. His players just aren't playing for him reliably. I live in St. Louis so I see a lot of Blues games (on TV! I'm not rich or something!). There were definitely high hopes for this team after last year's end-of-season run. They have a lot of good pieces but there's been something preventing them from gelling. I don'really think Murray was the culprit but players tend not to get fired.
-
I've been really impressed by this team. They weren't even on my radar this year and they've been going gangbusters. Admittedly, I don't follow the Devils and I don't know their players but I really thought they'd be mediocre at best. Of course, at the beginning of every season I speculate that this is the year Brodeur is going to run out of gas. I'm wrong every year.

Ott scores to make it 5-4 Dallas. I hate him. Not for scoring though, I just hate him on general principle.

How does +/- measure the value of an enforcer, specifically? If you want to say that his +/- demonstrates that May has played a decent defensive game and is a good grinder generally, then I'm right on board with you. If you want to make an argument about his value as an enforcer, I don't think +/- really proves anything.
This leads to an interesting question. How would one measure the value of an enforcer statistically? The only way I can think of would be to count hits and/or aggressive penalties (roughing, boarding, etc) before and after a fight. If hits and penalties like this decline after a fight, you could say that the enforcer might have played some part in that. If not, then you'd have to say that the value of an enforcer is, at best, an intangible.

Niemi just stopped a shot and didn't wet his pants. Looks like an upgrade.
-
Fluke goal for Dallas and they pull ahead. That's the end of Huet for tonight.
-
It would be nice to see him play out the season somewhere but I'm not optimistic. I will join in the Lebda bashing though. Every year that guy surprises me by still having a job.

End of first - Hawks 3/Dallas 2
Man, those Hawks can sure pass the puck around. I got a little wistful for the olden days watching that.
-
Yet another PP goal for the Hawks. They're going to need them if Huet plans to keep playing like a spazz. It really is a tragedy that a team this good doesn't have a reliable goalie.
-
I'm watching this one. Got to say, the Chicago PP looks great.
-
One of THN's writers has made the argument regarding Sundin's HoF chances for me right here.
Yes, I still stand by the assertion that Feds goes in before him.
-
Never winning the prize has doomed some great players to be shut out of the Hall before. I predict that with Sundin as well. The only thing that might save him is being a Leaf. I sort of think those guys are the mafia of the NHL sometimes.
Datsyuk & Zetterberg have tremendous sex

Finishing up with "these two studs" really makes the 'sex/success' blunder that much more awesome.
