[Bad Religion]

Dont kick Wideman out of the league. He makes the Flames worse by being on the ice. I need him there. 

 

[sosly]

I need Wideman on the Flames right now because the upcoming draft picks are real nice. I'm mad because he's in trade rumors but his whatever value left is ****** now

Man, I want to keep hating John Scott so bad...but he's making it hard with these articles and interviews leading up to the All Star Game. He's absolutely terrible as a player, but he knows how and why he got there, and he's just rolling with it. He's not hiding the fact that deep down he knows he shouldn't be stepping foot on the ice in an All Star Game, but he's having fun with it right now and seems to really be enjoying the process with all the interviews and the face time.

Again, I have no respect for him as a player, but as a guy that randomly got voted into the All Star Game, he's handling it with such grace...got a lot of respect for him in that aspect.

[theenorthstar]

Greatest ASG of all time

JOHN SCOTT MVP! And his team Wins! And in the end ... the fans won...

3v3 was good too!

 

[salazaro44]

O'reilly the real mvp!

 

[quell]

That was awesome

 

[theenorthstar]

I've become even bigger fans of Burnsy and Pavs today too...

They were class acts and so supportive of John all evening long..

 

[Bad Religion]

Maybe I am an old fogey, but I prefer the old, east/west 5v5.

3v3 just seems like a different game. I've disliked it in OT, and disliked it here.

But I understand the draw; making it more exciting and bringing in new fans. 

It sounds like the vast majority loved it.

I'm worried, I really want Ovi to get a ring, but is this season primed for another disappointing playoff run?


The Caps are 16th in possession, at 49.6%


We have team possession stats going back to 07.

The only teams to win a cup with a sub 50% possession, was the 09 penguins. They were 16th in the league and 49%, but every other squad?



Chicago 2nd

Kings 1st

Black hawks 2nd

Kings 2nd

Bruins 13th (51%) + Tim Thomas entered the matrix.

Chicago 1st

Pittsburg 16th

Detroit 1st



Numbers seem to indicate the caps are going to need an incrdible playoff run by Holtby, and dominate special teams to get the ring.


Thoughts?

I dont see anyone in the east beating them in 7 honestly.

The Rangers are 2nd and they look awful.

Isles and Devils are still too young to make a playoff run IMO

Penguins are starting to click so that could be the only threat, i think the addition of Hagelin is very underrated.
