Iron Crotch

Are you serious? The guy has 12 playoff goals, which leads the league by a wide margin. He hasn't played a lot of playoff games, but has always done well with the Rangers and Wild.

Gaborik! Is there any doubt the Kings made the right move acquiring him at the deadline instead of Vanek (as rumored)?

Too many marginal penalty calls for a Game 7.

Another great game. Did you expect anything less? :thumbsup:

This all reminds me of the NBA combine in 2007 when Kevin Durant was the only guy out of all the invitees who couldn't do a single bench press rep at 185. The press went crazy and people started calling Durant a sure-fire bust. Durant, of course, was NBA MVP this year...

I think it may have simply been a matter of one team being deep with defensemen and another being deep with forwards. The Kings needed some insurance on the back-end.

Freudian slip maybe?

Yeah, I was (toxic gas)Sabre for a while. Then I thought I'd switch to "I can count to potato" Sabre. But, that was too long. So then I figured just plain ol' Potato would do since EdibleTuberSabre was too weird.

This seems like a good threat for my 6000th post. B-) Happy Friday everyone.

Tokarski played well, but it is a shame the Habs had to play this series without Price.

Anyone think the Rangers can beat the Kings or Hawks? (I sure don't)

A week ago he got publicly called out by his coach for lack of effort. Got demoted to the 4th line too.

He looks great tonight. IMHO, that's why he is such a frustrating player. He'll sleepwalk through entire games with little-to-no effort, then will dominate others.

Rangers goal. Merde.

Vanek is actually playing defense tonight.

No tattoos, no piercings, no jewelry, no brand logos, etc. for me. It is difficult/impossible to avoid acts of symbolic self-completion (see symbolic self-completion theory), but this is what I strive for.

I'll take Dustin Brown with the winner.

Oh, wow. Kruger got decleated. (de-skated?)

Makarov went 7-3 and posted a .927 save % in his 10 AHL starts versus the AHL average % of .910. And, Ullmark led the Swedish league in save % as a 20 year old (2.08 GAA, .931 save %). He was voted Swedish goaltender of the year.

Some speculation that Knapp is a goner and Hackett (or Neuvirth or Enroth) will be on the move... http://www.hockeybuz...racts/163/60291 Personally, I like that we have 4 or 5 guys who could viably be the #1 goaltender for the Sabres in the near future. Good to have that sort of competition in the system.

...maybe the local shopping malls consider this to be a major announcement?

He can find a job with some crappy team. Oh, wait...

This series is full of douchebaggery. Running goalies, cheap shot interference hits,... In contrast, the Kings and Hawks have played a remarkably clean series.

Why would he sign for a year knowing he was going to be pushed out? Better to part ways with Hackett and have Makarov and Lieuwen in Rochester next year.

Awesome signing. This kid has as good of a shot to be our long term #1 goaltender as anyone. I think this signing spells the end for Hackett.
