    Top 20 players

    Vinny's not exactly a defensive dynamo either, and Kovalchuk has been a better, more consistent scorer in the NHL. Seems pretty straightforward to me. You can pick on his lack of playoff appearances, but I'd say perennially being a top 10 scorer in the league is doing your part to get to the postseason. Thrashers are just consistently a bad team.

    Red Wings at Flyers

    And, moreover, it's only ONE game.

    Top 20 players

    If he's not, he's still much more consistent. Since his breakout year in '04, Kovalchuk has finished in the top 10 in league scoring four out of five times. In that same span, Vinny has only done this twice. EDIT: So yeah, Kovalchuk.

    The link for the game was removed from adthe's front page so I think we're SOL tonight, gang. EDIT: Or not ^^^^

    Every feed I'm attempting to use isn't working. Bad times.

    Sportsnet Top 50 Players for 09-10

    Not sure what Pronger and Cam Ward are doing way up there.

    if you were Robert Lang, where would you be right now?

    Being unfathomably clutch and dominating the National Hockey League.

    Lineups for tonights game

    My guess is when the playoffs roll around Maltby will find himself spending a lot of time in the pressbox. Helm will be here all season and Abdelkader will be the first call up for injury. Babcock leans towards the vets, but even he benched Chelios in Finals in '08 when it was clear he wasn't up to the task. I love Maltby to death for everything he's given to this team but he's totally useless now, so I hope Mike will do the right thing when the time comes.

    Homer falling down as often as Kopecky. Not exactly confidence inspiring.

    Oh Gabby, you puckhog.

    Williams and Newbury

    No. Waiver rules depend on the player's age, when they first signed an NHL contract, stuff like that. Two-way contract simply changes a player's salary based on where he is.

    [GDT] 9/19 - Sabres, 3 @ Detroit Red Wings, 1

    Looked sharp. Good move off the half boards and a perfect pass cross ice pass to Ericsson for that scoring chance.

    Islanders Pascal Morency suspended indefinitely

    He was shoved from behind and knocked off balance. That doesn't make the hit illegal or anything, but it wasn't a case of him being careless. He got tag-teamed into the freight train.

    Jason Williams

    Teams weren't exactly kicking down the door to sign Dan Cleary or Mikael Samuelsson either. I'm not a huge fan of Willy or Bert, but for the amount they're getting paid they have good value, with enough upside that we can wait and see if they turn out to be another genius move by Holland.

    [GDT] 9/18 - NY Rangers, 3 @ Red Wings, 4

    He had a good game, but hang onto some of that cynicism. It's a long season (and, more importantly, postseason) after all.

    Great pass from Villie, perfect redirect from Alligator. Great goal.

    I'm no Williams fan, but the body of work you're judging thus far is two periods of one preseason game.

    Kessel traded to Leafs

    Eh, $5M is pretty standard fare for a 30+ goal scorer.
