Dreade game tonight. Have to cheer for Winnipeg to win in reg. then they jump us.

 

Feels like another 3 pt game

 

Apparently Ovechkin is playing too, and he's actually been showing a pulse lately. I really detest relying on other teams.

If there is a hockey god, the bruins will pull a Red Sox and lose their 7 point lead over ten games. This city deserves it.

 

This +10000000000000000

Wow. I hadn't even thought of that. The city would burn!

The first to 100 points. what a great job Ken Hitchcock has done. I think it is safe to say that anyone that votes for another coach for the Jack Adams needs to have their vote revoked.

Maybe. I think Bylsma has to be in the disucssion, considering the injury issues that team has dealt with and that they have a real good chance of winning the conference. And on a personal note, I absolutely detest the style of hockey the Blues play...slow, trapping, boring garbage (as far as entertainment value goes). Obviously that shouldn't matter when voting for the Jack Adams, but yea, it's putrid hockey for my own personal entertainment.

 

I also think Paul MacLean deserves consideration if the Senators end up winning the division, because I don't think anybody saw that coming.

Put Malkin, Spezza or Karlsson on the Blues and they might have 120 points.

They may lack elite level offensive talent, but they're not Hasek-era Sabres barren either. Pietrangelo is criminally underrated, while Backes, Oshie and Stewart aren't exactly offensively inept. Yet they have 9 more goals on the season than the Sabres and both of their goaltenders are under 1.80 GAA with a save % around .940. They may very well be playing a system that maximizes their talent, which is fine and good coaching. That doesn't make them any more entertaining to watch. Again, for me personally, I find their brand of hockey absolutely atrocious.

 

Dineen doesn't deserve to be in the running?

 

He's done a heck of a job, but I have a hard time voting for somebody whose team has a -17 goal differential. If the Southeast wasn't completely abysmal this year, they'd probably have a worse record than the Sabres.

Leading a weak division or the entire NHL? Which is more impressive?

 

The fact that they're going to win the division when 13 guys in their starting lineup weren't even with the team last year with a payroll at the bottom 1/3 of the league?

 

Although I agree with TrueBlue the goal differential could be a factor. I don't think being a top team in the league is necessarily a vote for the JA award when you have a stacked roster.

Saw this on Yahoo and thought the one comment below made a great title for it. I think there are many that thought they would never see something like this in their lifetime (So much hate between Sens and Leafs, lol)

 

"2 Girls, 0 Cups"

"And really, how wonderful and appropriate that this happened at a hockey game? Our sport has had to suffer through decades of being labeled a vulgar pastime for bloodthirsty troglodytes, and yet hockey's leading the way on progressive thinking when it comes to lifestyle acceptance."

 

Now I have lost any respect that I had for Puck Daddy. Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil.

Does somebody need a hug,.. a big, sweaty, man-hug?

Ignoring the WBC hate rant for a second, why exactly do they get to go out on the ice for that?

Probably paid a good chunk of change (or know someone at the arena) to be able to do that. Great publicity for the team, showing they support Gay rights too
