This Patrick Laine kid is pretty good.

Who? All I hear on the broadcast is McGiggles.

 

[Darkstone42]

Crosby is also good, in case anyone forgot.

Evidence:

 

[puckhead]

largest valuation drop was the canucks at 6%

judging by tonight;s attendance, that could be due to Mayor McMoonbeam's vacancy tax.

 

[puckhead]

time for a new edition of "this guy scored"?

With over a half century of hockey wisdumb I've accrued, I would like to propose a radical new idea.

After warm ups are done, the teams should play a normal 3 on 3 overtime and then go to a shootout if nobody scores. Once the festivities have concluded, send the teams to the locker room, resurface the ice, sing the anthems and get on with the first period. Play the normal 3 periods. If the regulation game ends in a tie, then the outcome from the previous played overtime and shootout would be in effect. This way if a team loses the overtime/shootout after warm ups, they know they had better play well in regulation. If a team knows they need two points and they lost in ot/shootout, you don't think they will play their asses of in the third period?

I think the question on everyone's mind about this mechanism...does a team have to decide if they're using their Win in the Bank before they play the OT/shootout or can they wait for the outcome of that to decide?

It's only been two games, but holy crap do the Sabres look like a totally different team with Eichel in the lineup.

And his 4 points in 2 games already has him up to 10th on the team in scoring

Once the festivities have concluded, send the teams to the locker room, resurface the ice, sing the anthems, say the pledge of allegiance (including under God!), and get on with the first period. Play the normal 3 periods. If the regulation game ends in a tie, then the outcome from the previous played overtime and shootout would be in effect.

I like it but added something.

Evidence:

16 goals in 18 games played this season - Yeah, that's okay.

Leastern conference little snoozy.

 

[esls79]

Leastern conference little snoozy.

Plus he's towing around a lamp post and a fire hydrant on his wings. He'd have 25 goals by now if he had decent wingers.

Wild have called up a goon (Kurtis Gabriel) for tonight's game against the Flames - I guess babblin' Brucey Boudreau is expecting a chippy game tonight.

Wild, prepped for a chippy game, call up Kurtis Gabriel

 

[tducey]

Crosby's on a 60 + goal pace. What a great player he is.

Apparently their attempt to lure Kevin Sawyer out of retirement didn't work

I guess Matt Cooke was busy doing whatever he is doing these days.

I heard he's gearing up for a comeback. Looks like he's already preparing for his first game against Karlsson.
