My favourite mental image of the day so far.

Fair enough... but does that mean the top 5 goalies in the league are less impressive than the top 5 d-men? The impressiveness really gets dilluted as you drop down past the top 10 goalies, I'll admit that, but top 5 is pretty damn good. Being a goalie isn't close to being easy. Put it this way-- Myers can s*** the bed some nights-- throw an assist up but be a -4. In the end people are going to judge him on his pts first anyway, but goalies don't have that luxury-- especially guys like Howard who don't put tons of SO up.

A name keeps coming to mind for me... Dion something.

The NHL is awesome like that.

Something in my heart tells me Howard's got a bit of that crazy streak in him... maybe it was when he clocked Cindy, but I have to believe he's got the potential to catch a guy coming around the net with the old stick to the abdomen.

Ladies, gentlemen-- I present to you Luongo's worst game ever. Amazing. I wonder how he'll bounce back next game. This has to be their coach's way of putting the coals to his feet.

Mmmm sauce. Actually, if you could shop a dejected Luongo in front of that famous picture of Gordie holding a shovel full of pucks in front of a net with all his goals in it.... now that would be a thing of beauty. Throw a letsgowings.com logo on the bottom and our traffic would increase mucho.

Everyone in Philly can remember that well. Nothing's changed since then.

lol exactly.

Officially added to my favourite hockey links. Thanks!

Bert is the frigging worst for this. I swear he must get free curly fries for every retarded pass he throws out to a ghost into the slot.

Just thinking of that game warms my heart.

Congrats man.

Friday: Chicago @ New Jersey Montreal @ Philadelphia (tough call. I want to say Philly but... 2 wins in their last 10?!?) NY Rangers @ Tampa Bay San Jose @ Minnesota Edmonton @ Dallas Calgary @ Colorado Vancouver @ Anaheim Saturday: Atlanta @ Pittsburgh Ottawa @ NY Islanders Nashville @ Detroit Boston @ Toronto (Boston can't lose this-- they need the Leafs pick to be really low!) Buffalo @ Montreal New Jersey @ Carolina NY Rangers @ Florida Washington @ Columbus Dallas @ St Louis Edmonton @ Phoenix Anaheim @ Los Angeles Sunday: Detroit @ Philadelphia x2 Calgary @ Chicago San Jose @ Colorado Minnesota @ Vancouver

lol lots of responses on here were written without looking at a calendar.

Funniest post I've read today.

Dude-- that Cali guy is right. 10,000 posts? I'm simultaneously sickened and jealous. Here's the kicker... how many were about toughness, grit, hitting or fighting?

One would assume so but who knows- it's not like they're riding on recent success right now.

Where'd you hear he was on the trading block? Is his price cheaper than zero assets and a 2 year 2.875 million dollar contract?

They should love hockey... I mean Mormons are so white they're borderline albino.

That's the difference between average paid attendance and what you can see from home. Lots of empty seats actually have owners. But yeah, no doubt some numbers are iffy.

You have to admit that E_S_A_D wasn't even trying not to piss people off. He wasn't MaleLion bad, but he was bad.

I'm liking the new and improved Carman. I opened a Stamkos rookie jersey card last year so I'm all about people furthering his appreciation around the league. That card would be worth hundreds of dollars as a C-diggity-fresh card so please keep pumping the price up for me*. * yes, I assume that Carman is responsible for fluctuations in the hockey card market.

You should know that logic will never defeat the will of the Doucheman!

Note in that link I posted above that the Coyotes are up almost 2,000 fans since their early season numbers. Anyone think that might be because fans aren't so scared that the team isn't long for the city? The NHL's tried to make it crystal clear to their fanbase that they're committed to keeping the team in Phoenix. It also helps that the Coyotes don't blow right now. And for all the people who think the team should be selling out when they blow chunks-- go look at the past struggles of Ottawa, Chicago(!) and Pittsburgh. Sports franchises who can throw consistently garbage teams out there and consistently get attendance are few and far between.
