Why is Phil Kessel his number OT player, when he isnt even playing

Even on an off-night, Kessel is good for a couple goals.

HA I just noticed that! Sweet.

[DanielNegreanu]

Really quiet night for my big guns so far, will need my Anahiem trio to perform as expected at home to Nashville. Down a 1/2 goal at the moment.

[DanielNegreanu]

Perry, Ryan, Kopitar, and Niedermayer VSDumont and Handzus If no one scores anything I'd lose in OT.

[DanielNegreanu]

This has been a creepy, weird night, wow... I should be crushing and my guys are just barely missing. If I lose in OT that will just be sick.

[DanielNegreanu]

This is SICK!!! Chart the games where Semin, Kopitar, Perry, Ryan, and Jokinen are ALL kept off the score sheet! This is just crazy all I need is an assist.

[Underdog]

Yes im shocked.The kessel thing was a drag and drop mistake .I picked up his name on the drag and paste and didnt notice he was there i was in a rush.AND i thought i get crushed anyway.

I haven't tallied the score but Daniel's goalies (NYR) gave up four while John's team (NAS) pitched a shutout. Underdogs got goals from Whitney and Phillips plus assists from Pronger, Ehrhoff and Demitra.

Bobby Ryan first signing this summer No surprise here, but with AHL rules changing and this being the last season players can be signed for 5 years, Bobby Ryan was a no-brainer signing at $3.00 with a peak at $5.00 in year 5. The Thieves have always been in good shape in terms of cap space, but with some of the younger players getting up there in age, it's close to becoming an issue. NHL leading scorer Henrik Sedin is in a contract year and chances are that he will be in the top salary group demanding big bucks and that will force Negreanu's hand down the road, and some decisions will need to be made. There is also talk of the salary structures changes as well, adding yet another category group. All that is being talked about internally, but it's clear that a player finishing 35th should be paid more than players in the low 90's. Sweeping changes could take place next season.

Despite losing Scott Niedermayer and Roman Hamrlik in the off season the Thieves defense is off to it's best start in franchise history. The team has always had subpar scoring from the blueline, but this year the D is scoring in bunches:D Alex Goligoski PIT 6 3 3 6D John-Michael Liles COL 5 0 7 7D Brent Seabrook CHI 6 1 2 3D Jamie McBain CAR 3 0 1 1D Kris Russell CLB 3 0 1 1 Nick Leddy also scored a goal in 6 games, but he'll spend the season on the farm. McBain will be a last minute decision as to whether he gets to stay with the team at the Oct 31st deadline. At this point, defensive depth is an issue so it's likely McBain will remain with the Thieves. Big things are also expected from Kris Russell this year who is poised to be the BlueJackets PP point man of the future.

After a weekend where the Thieves faced the Eagles on Friday night and the M's on Saturday, the Cheap Thieves have officially become the most prolific scoring team in the AHL, destroying the Big M's 9-1 on Saturday night. On Friday it was Semin with the hat trick, and then on Saturday we saw Bobby Ryan lead the way with a hat trick. Team depth will only get stronger in the playoffs when upstart rookie Derek Stepan will get called up. Not to mention Kyle Okposo and T.J. Oshie who will be back from injury in time for the stretch.Team is currently being led by the top guns:Alexander SeminCorey PerryBobby RyanHenrik SedinAnze KopitarAndre KostitsynJohn-Michael LilesAlex GoligoskiBrent SeabrookNick ShultzVANCOUVER
