I went to J-school and he came and spoke to the class one time...he's just as bad in person as he is in his articles. I basically avoid him at all costs now.

Good plan.

Will Gomez's name be on the Cup for the Habs this year?

Yup. Working for the Sun is not something that ANYBODY should put on their resume.

Meh, beats the Star. Though you can't really compare crap to poop

So Komarov belongs on the Grabo/Kulemin line?
- A_Tree

Yes

My poker game is pretty solid...

What was the plan? "Fight more"?

Drop weight. Eakins felt Orr was too big to be an effective player at the NHL level. So they decided he needed to shed weight, and build core strength, rather than just be a big puncher.

He's a lot faster than he used to be, and is actually being used on an offensive line right now, in the wake of the injuries. Obviously he's not putting up points, but he's making lots of room for Kadri out there, and doesn't look out of place at all.

Maybe you need to join the other team...

I don't know if you're just talking about sports, but the Star>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sun.

There was a really good piece (can't remember who did it) earlier in the year about Orr going down to the Marlies, and Eakins sitting down with him and explaining how he was going to have to change his game if he wanted to make it back to the NHL.

Give credit to Orr, but also give credit to Eakins: he laid out a plan, and helped him work through it.

Dallas Eakins and Randy Carlyle need to be co-HC of the Leafs.
Let's be innovative guyzzz.

Just make sure you bold the first part, I had an aunt and a friend who have what UG would call poor reading comprehension skills assume it was me coming out of the closet...Next thing you know my mom calls asking if what I wrote on facebook is true.........

I don't know if he still does it, but he used to write negative stories about a player on the opposition just before that team came to Ottawa.

C'mon, Bruce - you don't play for the Senators. It's not your job to get a player on the other team off his game.

Where'd you go and when?

The scary thing about the comparison of Hamilton to Myers, is that they're actually similar type of players. Tall, lanky, pretty good with the puck, but can be suspect defensively at the NHL due to their appearance being similar to a baby giraffe on skates...
- p_zub

True, And everyones chasing Dougie around all the time... "Their always after Me Lucky Charms"...

The one thing that really stands out about Orr this year and Komarov so far is the amount of turnovers and panic they create with their for-check.

They go in hard and actually end up giving their linemates some great opportunities because of it.

Or swing for the fences....

You know, back to Dougie Hamilton... I don't put much into +/- stats, but given the amount of points he's put up, and Boston being a pretty defensively sound team... it's odd that he's a - player, no?

Seguin who's been struggling offensively is leading the team in +/-

Question for all of you: Should I pick up Markstrom as my goalie tonight vs. Pittsburgh or just leave the slot open?

0.2 points for saves. -1 for goals against in my league.

5 points for a win, but no penalty for losses.

To break even, and assuming he faces 30-35 shots, he'd need to allow about 4 or fewer goals. Will he?

I got burned for -0.4 last night by taking Nilstorp at the last minute.

I don't know if you're just talking about sports, but the Star>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sun.
- Feeling Glucky?

That's your opinion, I prefer the Sun and think it's better than the Star but that's also because I fully know how righty it is going in. If you can get past all the bias and drivel (large chunk of it), it's not entirely bad.

Without a doubt.

I actually love that set-up.

That is interesting. Can't say more on it though, I haven't watched many Bruins games, because I'm not sure they actually play in the NHL.

I wonder if Lupul feels as though Kessel is cheating on him with JVR.

My fantasy league has the dumbest goalie stats ever.

shots against count as a point... as do goals against

Theodore is actually a good pick-up in my league.
