thx for that

screw that clown...he's a very average goaltender, much rather have Markstrom.
- LeftCoaster

agree. 100%. i was never on the lack train...

I had 4-0 Edm in my pool here at work as traditionally we suck vs EDM at the end of every season anyway.

4-2 Calgary tonight. It will be a 3-muffin night for Miller as the humidity is super high in Calgary right now.

Bo scores and Hansen scores.

Hat trick Monahan and Gio with the empty netter.

Let's go Flamers!!!!

It's going to be a scene in here if Shinkaruk scores tonight!!!

Agreed. Pratt just doing his usual schtick trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Claude Julien is going to be the saviour of this franchise.

Don't worry everyone here now understands that he only scores on the PP with deflections in front or tapping in empty nets. His skills now or ever will translate to the NHL.

Willie's offseason training?

Sorry if this gets Dragon going on a tangent again but interesting article on coaching impact by Yost from TSN.
If you don't believe possession or scoring chances have much bearing on the game then this likely wont interest you.

lol...douche bagalow

Yeah, Shinkaruk is going to be a story tonight. He's getting a ton of quality ice time - we'll notice him.

That, plus Benning on the radio and Frozen Four semifinals, all in the new blog:

It's all irrelevant, Canucks are taking Jake Bean regardless of where they draft

it was interesting yes. The end was interesting in its careful wording for a journalist.
"As for a team like Vancouver or New York? Well, their preferred deployment choices seem rather puzzling, since less frequently used lines generally outperformed more frequently used lines. To that end, it certainly seems like some coaching criticism may be warranted and justified."

Nashville didnt change much of the roster and went from out of playoffs to #1 in nhl overnight just by bringing in Laviolette. For anyone to see this and discount coaches effect on the team is just plain ignorant of whats right in front of them.

And when you have 2 broadcasters opening mocking our coaches performance on national broadcasted TV there is a big problem.

But sometimes fans cannot see stuff no matter how many signs with flashing arrows on it point the way. Its apparent that some simply do not want to see and will endlessly make every excuse not to see. Thats's too bad.
