  1. Does anybody know who is reffing tomorrow? I am praying that it won't be Kevin Pollock.
  2. Hmmm, I was going to guess Peter Stastny but I don't think he's still playing . :?-
  3. Did we pick him up on waivers on his way up or down? i.e., are the Blues paying half his salary this year?
  4. Which boys? (Just kidding). You might want to choose your words more carefully. Good luck with the experiment.
  5. The problem last night was that we were completely helpless against Vancouver's forecheck. They quickly pressed our defence on shoot-ins as soon as we got the puck and our players responded by rushing "passes" to their partner. These passes were never on the ice and led to the 2nd defenceman struggling to corral the puck with another Canuck forechecker to deal with. If we didn't lose the puck then we repeated the problem by flinging the puck to the winger on the boards who couldn't handle it. The inevitable turnover led to confusion in our zone and players standing around. Nobody seemed to be able to decide who they should cover and Vancouver forwards were often completely open and able to skate freely. Having Markov would have helped a lot but our defencemen need to handle the forecheck better. The forwards need to help the defence more. Early in the year we were getting the puck out quickly and punishing forechecking teams with a quick and deadly counter attack.
  6. It took the Leaf's 50 minutes against a better team to get to 6-0.
  7. I heard Nedved was unhappy because his girlfriend (a supermodel) lives and works in New York. I think Philly is counting on his game improving now that he is leaving closer to her. Sort of like Philly's version of Trizzak's theory.
  8. Here is an interesting article about SK and the CHL import draft. :hlogo:
  9. Here are the stats: player PPG PPA | G A | %PPG %PPpoints Ribeiro 7-12 | 10-21 | 70% - 61% Ryder 10-17 | 19-11 | 53% - 56% Markov 3-12 | 7-23 | 43% - 50% Kovalev 5-10 | 10-21 | 50% - 48% and just for fun Koivu 3-10 | 11-23 | 27% - 38%
  10. This is incorrect. Wearing a brace does not mean an automatic match penalty and it does matter if the other guy gets hurt or not. Here is Rule 56 b Note 4: Any player wearing tape or any other material on his hands (below the wrist) who cuts or injures an opponent during an altercation will receive a match penalty under Rule 43 -- Attempt to or Deliberate Injury of Opponents in addition to any other penalties imposed including penalties for fighting under this rule. Also I note that the "(below the wrist)" makes me wonder if the ref made the right call. Souray's brace is clearly not below the wrist.
  11. I have been wondering about SK's name. Not only is it an "a" or an "o" in his last name. I presume this is a question of translating his name to English. I wonder about his first name. On the London Knight's web site and in the OHL he is always called Sergei. But everywhere else he is called Siarhei. Is Sergei a nickname? After the B pool of the world juniors Belarus was moved up to the A pool. I have heard that International Ice Hockey Federation is reconsidering this and may instead hold a 4 team tournament between the 2 winners of the B pool and the 2 last place finishers in the A pool to see which 2 teams will play in the A pool in January 2007. This seems very unfair to me given that they are considering this after the tournaments are over. What does SK think about this?
  12. I have to disagree. In both games we had defensible leads. There is nothing wrong with paying extra attention to defence when you have a 3 or more goal lead. If we adopt such a defensive posture for the whole 3rd period when we have a 1 goal lead that will be a problem. We still have to see what happens when the Gainey coached Habs face that situation.
  13. Yes I know. You are right. I just have a naughty streak and couldn't resist. Mea culpa.
  14. Well if this isn't the stupidiest post ever. Actually after all the Dagenais bashing I too am surprised that the tone of this thread has not been too bad.
  15. I know I shouldn't, but I can't resist. I believe habsfan88 meant to say: Koivu-11, you're probably a good guy just change the way you type and you might get less complaints around here. I know, I know this is just naughty of me. No hard feelings. Right? P.S. habsfann 88, you do write quite very compared to many 15-year-olds I know.
  16. Wow I've got 4 5 votes. If elected I will not serve. (But keep those votes poring in. BTH can feel me gaining on him) I want to point out that the first save shouldn't count because there was no chance to warm up. No one can be expected to come in cold and make a good attempt with his first shot. And the save on the 2nd shot was just Theo getting lucky. He doesn't stop that shot more than 1 in a hundred tries. One more chance would have showed the real talent. Also, don't think Gainey didn't see video of "Raphael" streaking in and lasering his shots at Theo. I think his waiving of Dagenais shows that Gainey has big plans for the league's new superstar, Raphael. Boy does Bob ever work under the radar. Now all we need to do is clear another 4 to 5 million in cap room and then look out for Peter Puck for Raphael.
  17. Thanks BTH. I see the entire first post of the thread at the top of each page whenever I go to a new page. I conclude that there must be a setting somewhere I need to change. I have looked for soemthing in "My controls" but haven't found it yet. Okay I figured it out. When viewing a thread, Under "Options" there are 3 display modes: Outline, Standard and Linear +. Someone had asked what was the difference between "Standard" and "Linear +". I now know at least one difference. My "problem" is produced by the setting "Linear +". I have now switched to "Standard" and everything is good.
  18. I have watched the second half of a Law & Order episode - the half where they have lawyers. Does this help?
  19. I notice that with the new system the first thread of a post is included at the top of each page of the thread. Is there a setting somewhere (in My Controls?) that controls this? I find this irritating especially if the first post is long. For example, while I love Spiderman-NL's posts at the start of the game threads, they are very long and I would much prefer to not have to read them each time I page forwards or backwards. Failing a setting to get rid of this, I would propose people make their first post a short one when they create a new thread.
  20. Hi Koivu-11, I am willing to give you another chance, given your young age. Lately I have been just ignoring your posts because they are too hard to bother reading. I had even contemplated setting my defaults to automatically ignore your posts. My point is that if you want people to read your posts and to consider your opinions you should make your posts clear and easy to read. Of course this goes beyond posting and into other realms of life but here we just want to hear your opinion without having to work. If you are not willing to spend some effort being clear, I for one, will just not bother reading what you write. That would be a shame because you have had some good comments in the past. sincerely, Peter Puck
