And Lupul is in fact injured with a broken forearm. At least he signed the contract before that happened. Link | ||

the Greg Jamison Comedy show gets more and more funny.... Greg Jamison reminds me of Tony Clifton. I wonder if Jamison is really just some guy from the NHL offices with a wig on and a phoney suit. i wonder if Jamison will just disappear after January 31. | ||

I would like you all to know that this first goal caused a chubby so hard that I thought I was gonna faint. Richards Gabby and Nash is a goddamn mean line. With guys like MDZ feeding it with passes like that?? a;lsdkfja;lsdfkjad;s Unfortunately, the last couple games have shown what that trade did to the Rangers depth. Losing Dubi and Arty meant that Hagelin and Kreider were really gonan have to step it up and they've looked quite meh (hagelin) or outright shit (kreider) through 3. Torts said that Kreider might be AHL bound shortly. I don't doubt that he will come around because the dude is young and has got skills, but the A might be better now. It just unfortunately leaves a big ass hole. Nash-Richards-Gabby Hagelin-Stepan-Cally Kreider/AHL player-Boyle-Pyatt Rupp-Halpurn-Asham Those top six guys will probably shuffle a bit, but that bottom six ahhhhhh | ||

Gagner's goal is waived off (due to shitty reffing that was present all game) with 10.1 seconds left. The crowd goes ape shit, litters the ice, and yell out profanities in unison. Then Nail Yakupov scores the game winning goal with 4.1 SECONDS LEFT, and does the sickest celebration ever. Reminiscent of Theoren Fleury's celebration here: Then Gagner goes and scores the game winning goal with a sick feed from RNH in overtime. Amazing. I'm still shaking from that game. Edit: The play can be seen here. + Show Spoiler + | ||

Guess he got his 4.5m for the next 5 years or whatever, its time to inflate some other guys goal stats via the Sedin Line. Zach Kassian, come on down to that 5 million NTC contract! Burrows is a clutch player. He scored two OT winners in the 2010-2011 playoffs, both of which were entirely his own efforts, and one of which was in game 7. Him and Kesler have been Vancouver's top penalty killing forwards for years, and he's averaged 30 goals over the last three years, despite not playing on the top powerplay unit. He's also one of their top players in the shootout, and can play a gritty, aggravating style. Saying "Oh, he plays with the Sedins, all he has to do is stand there and have pucks bounce off him" is just ignorant. He's a reliable two way player who can be put in any situation and can be counted on to come through in clutch moments. | ||

Ask Anson Carter. But I guess good news, with Kesler's agent saying 'our goal is to make sure he plays for the next 8 years instead of 8 months" we wont be seeing Ryan on the 2nd line for a while longer and we will get to see Burrows greatness. And please, that OT goal against the Hawks was 'entirely his own efforts'? Getting Campoli to feed him when he had the entire surface of the ice rank to shoot for was a god send and Burrows, together with the city of Vancouver, should be sending poor old Chris a thank you card every year. Well, I guess since Canuck fans burned down the city after that, maybe just Burrows. . | ||

Well, I guess since Canuck fans burned down the city after that, maybe just Burrows. . Anson Carter also hit 60 points while playing on Edmonton. In fact, when playing with the Sedins, he got 55 points that season. He also hit 55 points two seasons prior when not playing with the Sedins. So what is your point, exactly? That a 50+ point player can get 50+ points playing with the Sedins? Additionally, in all the time Burrows has played with the Sedins, he's always played on the second powerplay unit. As a result, he's averaged 2.5 powerplay points a season while playing with the Sedins. Anson Carter, on the other hand, did play on the top powerplay unit. Of his 55 points, 25 were on the powerplay. Additionally, Burrows plays a significant amount on the penalty kill, and when the penalty kill is over, he has to rest so somebody else plays with the Sedins for a shift. If Burrows didn't penalty kill AND played on the top powerplay unit, he would easily have hit 80 points instead of 67. The season when he was put on the Sedin's line, he was already on pace for 23 goals, and had been making steady progress since becoming a full time NHL player. Maybe he's not a player who's going to get 30 goals every season (although he certainly could if placed on the top powerplay unit), but consistently hitting the mid twenties while contributing in other areas is pretty damn good. Do you know how many players repeatedly hit 30 goals from season to season? And yeah, Burrows just asked Campoli for the puck and then because he had the puck it automatically went into the net. Or, he jumped up, grabbed it, and then shot the bouncing puck top corner in an incredibly high pressure situation. But since you clearly dislike Burrows, let's downplay it and sound like he did nothing there and it was just a fluke, because everyone scores playoff game 7 OT winners. | ||

You've got two 50+ guys in Stepan and Cally and a guy who'd probably hit 50 in a full 82 in Hagelin. plus you could always bounce around guys in the top 6 to balance it out if that 2nd was meh. Even as I listed above, most teams would be pretty happy to have that. The Rangers issue is their bottom six blows now, especially since Kreider has looked like ass to start. Arty and Dubi would have gotten a lot of minutes there and they're better than any of the options currently. The reason they traded is because the Rangers under Torts have always had an issue scoring. Arty and Dubi were good for 2nd or 3rd minutes, but on the first they weren't truly dynamic players. Nash is a stud offensively, and pretty much fits the Rangers system perfectly since he's really good on the forecheck (they dump and chase all day, even if it makes zero sense to do so at times) and is pretty decent in his own end. | ||
