"If you ice the puck now, you can't change," Brodeur said, "so you'd get tired penalty killers out against a fresh power play. That's a better advantage [for the team with the extra skater]. Is it just me or is Brodeur a little confused?

No, I think he meant exactly what he said. Avery's still too much of a loose cannon.

Has somebody claimed anything to the contrary?

Oh, so we're only counting games played during this season?! How convenient!! What Puckloo is complaining about this season is almost word for word identical to what you and other Osgood supporters said last season when the Wings had rough outings in front of him.

Your memory isn't very good.

Fact: Moss is talented. He now holds the single season record. Fact: Rice had 22 in a strike shortened season. Going EUZ on you, Moss had 1.4375 TD's per game while Rice had 1.8333 TD's per game. Rice was just that damn good.

It sickens me that a POS like Moss holds the TD receptions mark.

Remember it's Zherdev with a chance for a hattrick. They're not exactly used to seeing him being unselfish. That said, he does seem to be more inclined to use his teammates this season. Maybe he's growing up.

I wouldn't call Jackman a puss. If he's been paying attention to what's going on in the Eastern Conference, he'd probably know that going with Lucic could turn ugly. Jackman gives up 3-4 inches and at least 20 pounds but is willing to fight him anyway.

Because it's true???

Last I saw he's out for another week to 10 days.

Gaborik scores 5 yet Bouchard has the GWG. Odd.

I wasn't surprised at all.

What's that... 20 years worth of contracts signed in the last 3 years? Most parents (I hope) are trying to teach their children about honour, integrity and keeping your word. Guess Petrino's parents didn't.

I like Redmond but could do without Ken Daniels.

Doesn't matter. It was an uncalled-for personal attack.

I think it's too early to give up on Raycroft. As you mentioned, he is indeed searching for his Calder-winning form but he did manage to win 37 games last season behind a very suspect D.

Yup, but this another example of the reversal in this drama from last year. The pro-Osgood crowd stated the exact same thing.

^^Beat me to it.

What we need is the TEAM to play as a whole the way they did during the recent winning streak. The defense has been less than stellar recently. Hasek has been worse than expected and Osgood has been playing well above his normal level. They've been splitting starts so far (mainly because of Hasek's injury) but Osgood has earned the extra time for now. It'll be interesting to see which goalie reverses his current level of play first and subsequently this board's members' reaction.

What do you mean by last line? Today it looked like he was the only line. Hasek obviously needs to pick up his game but it wouldn't hurt if the skaters got their collective heads out of their asses.

Healthy scratch/ resting. Should be back tomorrow.

I thought that'd be the issue. While I don't have any problem with Belak kicking Avery's ass, I do find it a little disturbing that it's in print that they're going after him. See Bertuzzi - Moore.

Don Cherry was ranting about him, too. I'm sure Avery's feelings are hurt.

It's on the NHL Network.
