    WCSF : (6) Minnesota Wild vs. (5) Chicago Blackhawks

    I don't hate Chicago, they just have two recent cups and I don't want them to become a dynasty.

    Some things are just too poetic to abbreviate.

    At What Point Does Holland Deserve Blame?

    In fact LGW used to tear Datsyuk a new one every post season because of his play.

    At What Point Does Holland Deserve Blame?

    I think it's more like 14 teams, but I agree with your point.

    Like what specifically could he have done? I agree he's made mistakes, but I'm not sure you can be mistake free in this line of work.

    Free agency has been a completely different game since the cap as well, the contracts are longer so there's less options during the off season, and more competition for players. We don't have young superstars to lure in free agents, there's lots of other exciting teams to choose from. I don't know that I can say with certainty that Holland is the best GM, but I think he's done very well considering the circumstances.

    The only other option is to tank. We haven't had a top ten pick since Marty LaPointe! What was that? 1990? How many cup winners since 2008 can say that? Actually I'm serious, have any other teams won recently without a high draft pick leading their team? I honestly have no idea. I just don't know what else could've made this team better without getting better picks. You either let the cap era system make you rebuild, or you fight it and retool like Holland has.
  9. If he scores more, I think Draper's Selke season he had 40 points. But with guys like Toews and Datsyuk being voted in I think the standard is high.

    WCQF : (4) Nashville Predators vs. (5) Chicago Ham Hocks

    Please tell me that the Preds just aren't that good and the Hawks are going nowhere. Please.
  11. Out shooting and out scoring the opponent, more power plays and Hank and Pavel playing well. This is not your infant's Red Wings team.
  12. It is, a two goal lead is basically like playing from behind.
  13. If it's not metaphorical, I'm suddenly feeling very inadequate. #notatriphazard

    Knuckles vs Numbers - The death of the enforcer

    Actually, that would be handling it like children, who don't know any better.

    ECQF : (8) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (1) New York Rangers

    I don't want the Pens to win the series but I hope it lasts longer than 5 games.
  16. Stamkos is going to playing hard after taking responsibility for the Lighting being down, Wings need to do everything right. Go Wings!!
  17. You can call the Datsyuk goal a lucky bounce if you want, but he passed the puck and headed for the net, that's how it's supposed to work, you get bounces in your favor when you do that.
  18. I didn't see the game but the recap on NHL.com stated Zids hit a post as well.

    Datsyuk Finalist for Lady Byng

    You are not wrong. In fact I'm fairly certain the voting has already been completed.
  20. How's Petr look? Been tested at all?
