So proud of Dustin tonight. Such a good slap in the face goal to Vancouver.

I was at the Caps/Sabres game on Sunday in DC and need to mention this little boy. I wanted to find out more after watching his puck drop antics.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
First off, I just want to take a second and thank Sarah for being possibly the coolest person on the planet. Thanks to her I got a chance to meet Dustin Brown, Mike Richards, Jeff Carter, and Jonathan Quick (among others). I ended up with seats two rows behind the Kings bench by meeting a couple that I was able to meet thanks to her. I got to hear the chirping going on behind the bench, listen to Sutter during the game...it was an unreal experience. I also met a couple of the LA Dodgers as they were sitting right by me.
Second, Staples is a great place to see a game. A GREAT place to see a game. What an arena! The typical hockey do's and don'ts aren't followed as closely as they are in Chicago (lots of people don't wait for the whistle to get up and go get food/go to the bathroom, etc), but the atmosphere was incredible, and that barn is insanely nice. Third...thanks again Sarah. You're the greatest. |

Also, with about 5 minutes left in the 1st last night, the Kings had been on the PP for 11 minutes, including a 7 minute PP and a little bit of a 5 on 3...and they were outshot at that point.
What? |

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
A couple things:
The Avs and Hawks are so much fun to watch play eachother when both are playing their game. Saad scares me more than anyone else on the Hawks when he's got the puck on his stick. Seabrook gave me a huge boner on that play on MacKinnon in overtime. |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Hawks need to put it together soon. They continue this shit and they will be on the road in the second round. An OT/SO game is essentially an automatic loss at this point and the penalty kill cannot be that bad if you expect to win in the playoffs.

The Hawks actually played pretty well tonight. Still impressed with Oduya (cue Hawks fans telling me why Hjalmarsson is better). Saad was the best forward on the Hawks. As I mentioned, he's dangerous whenever he's on the ice. As for the Avs, not their best game but they were calculated in their attack and patient when they needed to be. I was expecting worse from a team missing Stastny, Johnson, Tanguay, Parenteau, Guenin, and Sarich. EDIT: and for those still criticizing the Talbot trade, tonight was case in point for why he was acquired. Also, Nick Holden. That is all. |

I like the idea of Kruger centering the third between Shaw and Bickell while Zeus sits down with Bollig and Smith, and the 2nd line is Saad - Versteeg - Kane. I trust Q, but I'd really like to hear his explanation of why Saad doesn't play top 6 minutes. He's clearly the best forward outside of the core guys (Toews, Kane, Sharp, Hossa). I don't know. Makes no sense to me. Quote:

Just had to. Hammer's my guy. I do love Oduya and what he brings to the table though. He was such a great trade acquisition for the Hawks. It may seem like an obvious statement, but they don't win the Cup last year without him. That said, it's either him or Leddy that might have to pack their bags after this season (likely Leddy). Adam Clendening needs a shot at the roster next year. By the way, you would love Clendening. |

I would think if one of those d-men goes, the smart thing would be to release Leddy. Not only is Oduya the better all-around talent, but his chemistry with Hammer is not something you want to take lightly. As a guy who's played a lot of forward and is now switching to more D, you've probably noticed how important - and challenging - it can be to develop chemistry with your defensive partner. Crucial and difficult all at the same time, so when you find two guys that have it, you don't separate them! Hell, I think a big reason Bouwmeester made the Olympics is because of the chemistry he has with Pietrangelo. I do think Oduya was a big - if underrated - reason they've been successful. Notice how much better Keith has been playing as of late (back to Norris form, IMO)? I definitely attribute that IN PART to how well Hammer and Oduya play together, which in turn takes some pressure off the top pairing. And I'm just yanking all the Hawks fans chains now about Hammer at this point. :lol I'm generally uncomfortable with "who's better" arguments because of the wide range of talent in the NHL. Guys have different skill sets and are "better" at different things, but unless you're comparing Crosby to Patrick Bordeleau, it's difficult and usually unproductive to do go through an over-arching "who's better" argument. EDIT: I've heard good things about Clendening but haven't watched anything of him that I recall. I look forward to seeing him play! |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread

Yeah it has been fun, Bob looks like he did last year coming off this injury, if he plays well they could really do some damage. Horton has been great so far and I think he is only about 50% in terms of stamina.
All of the sudden the metro doesn't look so bad.. |
The Bruins need to rest Tuukka badly, the problem is I don't think Claude trusts Johnson. Also losing Seidenberg has clearly left problems on the blue line. I think they need to make a move just not sure for who yet, maybe Tallinder from the Sabres?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread

I'm not sure a move is warranted on defense yet, although the loss of Seidenberg definitely hurts. They have pretty decent depth, but an extra vet couldn't hurt. I will give you Matt Hunwick for free if you want him. :lol |

Saad, despite being on the "3rd line", averages the 5th highest TOI of all Hawk forwards, anyway... Quote:
Anyway....I thought the Hawks skated circles around the Avs again last night but Varlamov was the difference. A game clearly stolen by the goaltender. |
