NCAA stars are a "dime a dozen"

Jimmy Vesey's a healthy scratch tonight. Since getting 17 points in his first 30 games, Vesey has 9 in his next 46.

You don't need to be a Harvard graduate (or even Harvard_Oiler) to figure out his production has dropped off substantially.

You guys and your fancy stats.



So, here's an interesting schedule quirk;
Jackets (106 pts) next three games are against the other three top teams in the President's trophy race. Chi (105), Wash (110) and Pit (103).


Bet the schedule makers didn't see that coming when they designed the schedule, eh?

If Harvard kids could do math they'd be going to the best school in Cambridge instead of #2

Just this season alone Emelin probably deserved three suspensions. He got none. I just don't understand it.

The leagues marquee players rarely get suspended. Emelin puts people in the seats, so they wont suspend him.

Judges?
They're giving the signal, I'm gonna allow it

I was actually hoping for a response with a picture or gif of Usher flopping on the ground (dancing) looking like a turtling hockey player. I did a quick search myself with a few different sets of terms but couldn't find anything.

Usher was robbed of a supporting actor Oscar nominee for his role in The Faculty.

Ok, maybe not an Oscar. But a SAG award at least.

Hey!!Usher is the GOAT!!

Elias makes it official. One of the more underrated guys of the past 15 years, could have been a 80+ point guy each year if he played on an offensive minded team. Probably the last retired number for the Devils for awhile.

I always liked Elias, well as much as I could.

 

[tducey]

Always liked Elias too, one of the better New Jersey Devils ever. ? is is he a Hall of Famer?

IMO, he's in Olaf Kolzig territory.

Good guys. Solid for a long time. Not HoF.

Islanders got 10 powerplays tonight - that would take the Ducks at least 6 games to get that many. Officiating is still in preseason form two weeks away from the playoffs.

St Lou on a 6 win in 7 game streak, and poof. Assholes.
