He...rubs me the wrong way... :unsure:

 

I think he tries waaaayyyy to hard to try and sound smart and clever, and it just comes off as annoying and snotty.

 

That's how I feel about Mike Emrick.

NHL Network is right now saying that Stamkos is the ONLY probably 50-goal scorer for this year, and the network specifically mentioned Vanek as a "no" in the dialogue. NHLN's rationale: Vanek hasn't done it before.

 

Now, I must appeal to you amateur logicians out there...

I meant the game at the end of the season we played against Philly that was tied and they let us run the clock out.

 

Despite how disgraceful it was, that was still an awesome moment to experience.

Ignoring that incredible logic for one second, they're clearly not watching him play. I don't know what happened to him, but its a shame that they didn't discover this switch years ago.

 

And Peter LaPurple may just be my new hero. The sad part though is that Boucher was probably completely content with them doing that.

He played one year with a true one center so far in his career, as a rookie,(or was it two?) and with an effective pp for 1 1/2 years. He has 50+ goal potential with those two critical pieces in place. He also has 90 pt potential, which if achieved, would place him in the elite class by itself..imo

Blue Jackets were busy tonight. Swapped defensemen with St Louis - CBJ sends Kris Russell to STL for prospect Nikita Nikitin.

Unconfirmed report that they send Fedor Tyutin to the Isles for Evgeni Nabokov (via twitter).

 

EDIT: Now reporting that it is unofficial and that Nabokov has a NTC and has not been asked to waive it.

Hope not.

 

I'm not missing him.

 

 

He's good for the NHL. Hockey misses him. And as much as I don't want to see Pittsburgh (or any other team for that matter) do better than the Sabres, I want to see him back in the league and performing at a high level. There isn't enough talent concentration in the league as it is. We don't need more talent sitting on the sidelines.

Absolutely. The league needs its best players. He may have made an even greater impact on the league with this injury though. It was a completely incidental hit, but it definitely opened the league's eyes on the importance of preventing head injuries.

The ref had a bad angle. He saw the stick go up under the arm and at that point he has to call it. By the book, it is a hook and with that timing, it probably should be a penalty shot.

This.

 

Still a bad call, though.

Yep, that's how I see it. If he was going to call the minor, he has to call the penalty shot.

It does make me think of a play with Vanek in the past week or so. I forget which game it was, but it was a relatively weak call, but should have been called a penalty shot due to that same exact timing.

It was the Winnipeg game, wasn't it?

I agree that he is great for the league, and the NHL needs him.

 

I just dont like him, and don't miss him.

 

His absence gives the NHL a great chance to push and promote other upcoming or current stars, but they are missing the boat on it.

lol, come on dude they push new stars all the time, but none of them are close to the excitement that he brings to the game.

What is exciting about Crosbys game?

 

I understand that he puts a ton of points on the board, but I wouldn't describe him as flashy or exciting.
