I wanted them to give him a shot back in 2010, when he went to Vancouver. Would have been a better third-line center than Hecht (2nd/3rd-line winger) or Gaustad (fourth-line center.) He was having a strong season before he got hit in the eye, even receiving consideration for the Selke trophy (5 1st-place votes, according to Wikipedia.)

Oops. 0.8s from OT, but ... *choke*.

Ha, well timed. A friend of mine just posted a pic of his dog looking toward him from under the sheet with some comment about Dutch Ovening it.

Even if they go 1-80-1 this year and 0-82-0 next year, there would still be a 56% chance that we wouldn't get either player, much less both. In fact, there would only be a 6.25% chance of getting both.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that last goal. He's lucky that they don't play the Rangers again until March.

As much as we're focused on our QB, it sucks to hear that Hoyer is out for the season. He started as the third quarterback, got the chance to start due to injuries and played so well that he took the starting job. Then, wham, it's gone.

It wasn't consistent. I believe in 2005-06, they went basically every other game, but had specific teams that each always had the "C" against (e.g., Briere vs. Montreal.) In 2006-07, however, I am almost certain that it was road/away during at least the regular season. It's hard to prove, since each took over when the other was out injured.

Worked with Drury and Briere. Plus, it's easier on the equipment guys.

Per Rolston on WGR, they will name the Captain today. The team will be told first, then it will be made public.

Bills did three straight drop back three or four stpes to take a couple of seconds off and then take a knee, since they couldn't really run out the clock. The defender decided to take out EJ hard on the the third one, which took care of the 5 seconds that they couldn't run off.

In all fairness, it's 3/22, but two (Byrd and Gilmore) are out injured. Being without those two and then losing McKelvin put Rogers in a position that he simply is not cut out for. How many teams' #3 CB can cover the other team's #1 receiver all game long, especially without their #1 safety supporting?

Except Reebok has their logo ... actually, now "REEBOK" ... above the nameplate, not on the tail like the old CCM/KOHO (etc.) jerseys. There is no Reebok logo down there to hide.

Empire Records reference?

Coho at 1:00 and 1:24 mark (based on socks and dark helmet.) http://youtu.be/sFIg1cDwlRs Also at 0:30. His defensive coverage is harder to spot ... since he's out of the frame.

Been Teemu's nickname for a long time. He's Finnish and fast, so ...

It's on in the background, but I'm mostly just tooling around the internet.

Fixed for you. :thumbsup:

:blush: :( :huh:

Yes, but pointing out the few positives while acknowledging the glaring problems is OK, too. A good GM would have to recognize the diamonds in the turd pool, so that he doesn't flush them out with the rest of the crap. It's actually harder to spot the good players on a bad team than it is to spot the bad ones; much like it's hard to spot the bad ones on a good team (i.e., the guys who are being carried.) Both are there. If you're Darcy, you have to know which of your players to keep and which players on the good teams not to pick up. Too often, Deluca gives the impression that both those lists are empty.

Darcy's waiting for the market to be set, so he knows what to add his premium to. (Zing!!)

In all fairness, Kuilikov does like to hit (84 in 34GP this year and 104 in 58GP last year.) I'm sure GoDD could tell you how many of our defensemen you'd have to add up to get that. I'm not saying that I wouldn't take Kuilikov; I just agree with inkman that I was/am more interested in what Kassian's and Hodgson's could potentially become than what he could.

Unfortunately, it will take a lot more than one or two players to set an example for someone like Stafford. You need an established team mentality like the Bruins built before a player like that (e.g., Horton) sees the light. You can have one or two guys who need the example to be set, but they need to be the exception, not the rule. Ott has exactly the blue-color, hardest working team in hockey mentality that this team needs more of. I want him setting the example for years to come, but I also want more of his type brought in. It sounds like Girgensons is that type of player, so that's a start.
