Did you cover up the picture of Kane with a picture of Nash on the box?

If they had no confidence in Ozzie, they'd be trying like hell to score as much as possible due to their lack of confidence that he'd be able to shut the door on the opponent, so the game plan would be to beat the other team by scoring more than they do.

I'm sure that could be argued. In a few games this year, he has looked completely sluggish and disinterested. Thankfully, he seems to play hard most nights.

Isn't that what they brought Ryder in for? 27 goals last year wasn't half bad, and don't forget 2 consecutive years of 30 with the Habs.

If the Wings were to sign Kariya, it would be strange seeing him in a different # than 9.

Those are definately hockey countries. Although I think the point of the thread was to decide on the best hockey country out of those that are most well-known. No bashing on Finland, you guys have produced some fantastic players.

Experiment: Put him with Pavs for a game or two and see what happens.

Sadly, even the best of them start to decline one day.

Just you. Don't really look alike IMO. As opposed to this -

Like someone else said, if this were Sean Avery, he'd be gone 10+ games.

Kinda looked like Ovie was more at fault on this one. He's been increasingly erratic in his play this season and it's catching up to him now.

They seem to be able to score more often than not when Jimmy is playing.

Ever since 2008, Mule has been anything but average. Other teams would kill for a healthy Franzen.

Definately. Always good to see him doing well out there, and he really seems to enjoy himself.

I just thought of that. When you're not getting hit in a dirty fashion, you're getting hit with the puck while sitting on the bench like Leclaire or getting slashed in the head by your own teammate.

Good stuff

Based on what? Babcock knows Osgood looked shaky in his last game and that Howard has played well in relief. He knows to stick with the hot hand and ride it out.

Send some over here. I was out of town for Thanksgiving so no leftovers

Definitely. Who doesn't love Sesame Street? The person below me laughed while watching this video -

A lot of the time, he makes other players look silly even when he's uninterested.

Only 17,645 in the crowd tonight. Not the best showing. Put a better string of wins together and the attendance will rise.

Did not play against Dallas. Hopefully he's able to get back in there and bring some of that jump we've seen on most occasions this year.
