    Why Osgood can't start in the playoffs

    And that's the mentality that killed us with Legace when we lost to to the Oilers; he was named playoff starter way too soon and then when his play didn't hold up into the end of the season. I don't think we should even be considering a playoff starter until the last week of the regular season.

    Official: Selanne signs with Ducks

    You know...that's actually the best comparison I've heard for the whole Mogilny/Malakhov deal. Makes perfect sense. When you put it that way, I'm not so irked about how Lou did that.

    But those bonuses will count toward next year's cap and not this year's. It's a ridiculous bonus stipulation (because it's so easily obtainable) and as such, it's bypassing this year's cap limitations. It's all within the system of rules, but using the rules to one's advantage, no matter how underhanded it may look, is exactly the same thing that Burke bitched at Lowe for last year.

    Official: Selanne signs with Ducks

    Ah, I wasn't aware that Brunstrom spent seven months "contemplating retirement". Oh wait, he didn't. It's this whole bulls*** excuse of being "semi-retired" that irks me when it comes to Selanne. Would I give a s*** if Forsberg came back to the Flyers? Nope, his is an injury concern. Did I get pissed off when Cujo went to the Flames? Nope, since he wasn't pulling this "semi-retired" bulls***. It's not even apples and oranges. It's apples and lawnmowers.

    From TSN's article... If it takes ANY player "several months" to figure out if they still have the determination to play hockey...well, that's not too convincing. It's like the wife who asks her husband, "Does this dress make me look fat?" and the husband taking too long to answer. No answer that he gives will be convincing by that point. I lost a lot of respect for Teemu today.

    Red Wings and Yzerman Duped

    Braxton's father is an absolute piece of garbage. Simple as that.

    And Niedermayer had the audacity to mention how he thought the ASG was a "nice break" for him, not realizing how much more of an ass it makes him look and sound like. All-Star weekend is a bust. Wake me up when there's some real hockey again.

    Yeah, I didn't even catch/know who the other two judges were (I knew Clement and Mellanby, obviously). Lame. Doubt I'll even bother with the game tomorrow, considering how dull this was.

    Agreed. Even as a fan, this whole thing was tough to watch. A casual fan wouldn't even bother, not to mention a non-fan. Again, epic fail.

    Ovechkin was the only one that made that event worth watching. Clement is a friggin' tool for the Ducks. And then the scoring for Kovalchuk completely invalidated any legitimacy for the event. If you're gonna give high scores to a hometown favorite, even if he didn't DO anything...well, it's all out the window. Bettman? Your idea fails.

    And nice to see that they're sticking with this horrendous camera work. Good job, Versus. You continue to astound me with your poor production choices.

    This judging is ridiculous. Clement creams himself over Getszlaf. AND THERE'S THE FIRST "IF CROSBY WERE HERE..." COMMENT! Completely unfounded too, since Crosby doesn't really have moves like that.

    Ick, Clement is a judge.

    HOLY CRAP...Chara is insane! 103.1 mph! I think he could beat Iafrate's record in a few years.

    101.9 MPH for Lecavalier!!!

    Ovechkin only gets 95.6 MPH on his last shot... DiPietro: "That's okay, he's already got 40 goals this season..."

    Go away, Selfish Scott. "It's a nice little break in the middle of the year..." "It's nice to take a short little break like this..." YOU'VE ONLY PLAYED 19 GAMES, YOU ASS. YOU ALREADY NEED A BREAK?! God, I hate him.

    Yes, because we all know that whoever makes the most saves in the YoungStars Game wins the Stanley Cup.

    Actually, you know what? I think we should just have goalies mic'ed up all the time. West pulls Legace for an extra attacker!

    Legace with an assist...as he falls down.
