I'm not fond of Ilya Kovalchuk's game.

From what I've seen, he has become a perimiter player. The best perimiter player in the game, but still.

Exactamundo!

He's a weasel.

Western conference games are less entertaining than Eastern conference games.

Nashville has one of the ugliest jerseys in the NHL.

Icings followed by tv timeouts completely negate the spirit of the rule.

I concur.

Francois Beauchemin is one of the best kept secrets in the NHL

This is what prevents me from buying a Radulov sweater.

He's no Lubomir.

My first FYP, I think .

Western conference games lack intensity. It could just be the TV production on the channels that I get to watch Western conference games on (namely Sportsnet West).

I can't even think of a response to that.

That's OK, it's right around your nap time anyway...

It's painful to watch a Pheonix hockey game.

But it's pure agony when they show the coach, and he looks like a deer in the headlights.

I agree with this, but it has also been agony to watch a once proud franchise like the Bruins wander around aimlessly for the past 5 seasons, or the once dominate Islanders become a laughing stock.

same with the blackhawks

I'll add the Oilers to this list. Since the All-Star Break its been all down hill and with Ryan Smyth gone their is nothing to get excited about.

Franky hits better and more.

Ummmm...Marian Hossa is "deceptively" the most entertaining offensive player to watch from a skill perspective.

phil kessel has been a different player since he got his nut removed.

I'm so tired of commentators saying 'Oh, his stick exploded. That's why these composite sticks are a problem'.
The composites are better, lighter, and provide a much harder shot. Wood sticks broke every bit as much, you could just get away with playing with a broken wood stick because it didn't split into two pieces.

you really think the Oiler situtation is even close to the Blackhawks siutation? They were in the finals last year!

That's really a personal preference thing.

agreed. I don't like seeing Gretzky in such a vulnerable light.

Meh, I think Gretzky is doing a good job given what he has to work with. However, I think he'd make a better GM as he is an excellent judge of talent. Most guys have difficulty letting go though and behind the bench is as close as he can get now. The Coyotes have some very good prospects and young players. I think they will be a very good team in 3 or 4 years.

I just don't want to see Gretz become the Isiah Thomas of hockey.

The Great One's biggest asset is his ability to sway vets to come to his team but 3 notibles have not performed well. Hull retired, Roenick failed on his promise to be better and Nolan is hardly eye-popping despite being second in team scoring (71 gp, 16g-22a-38pts).

I think Gretzky would've made a great GM in the old NHL where you could spend as much as you wanted. His star power would be more impactful. I just don't think he has the experience or business savvy in today's NHL.

If the NHL introduced team logo'd enema bags, the only fans that would line up to have their team logo shoved up their as s would be Leaf fans....

Thats just sick...but true ....

I know but I have a short memory. They really aren't half the team they were last year though: Lupul for Pronger, Smyth gone, Pisana lost his playoff run flair, Roloson is average at best, etc. etc. etc. and you have an 11th place team.

i have been saying this for years.....but every couple of years, you see all the young prospects are gone/didnt work out, and new prospects are there.

also, the last couple of years, i kept thinking they put together a fairly decent lineup. But nothing. Especially coming out of the lockout, i thought they were really deep at young solid fwds.

Rick Jeanneret is great...He is amazing to listen to...

Vanek just scored a goal and this is what he said after


"I am going this way said Vanek to Mike Dunham...HAHA no I am going the other way"


he is great ....I still remember LALALALALALALALALALALA fontaine

I need a Dallas goal (with no points from Ribeiro) tonight. Another shutout by Hasek will hurt my fantasy team. Everyone think 'Modano unassisted'.

are you cheating on us??Ahl is the only league you should be in

Please, Janne Niinimaa, go back to Finland.

It's painful to continually see people spell PHOENIX as PHEONIX!

Pominville population 32!

Sean Avery is almost as important to the Ranger surge as Henrik.

Chicago jersey is still the bomb.

QFT X 2

I always think of Gretzky as the coach of the peewee team that win or lose takes his kids out for ice cream afterwards. He seems too nice to be anything more than a player's coach which normally doesn't work well with a young team. I think he'd be much better suited for an exec role.

Goal judges that are way too overanxious on hit posts, etc. are funny during the action, gets the crowed riled up and even wakens some haha.

Corry Perry is a better player than I gave him credit for. If he was a little faster, or bigger, he could be a star.

I wonder who would be on Crosby's line had Anaheim won the lottery instead of Pittsburgh?

Attention Kovalchuk owners:

He left tonight's game with a tweaked knee.

EDIT: I'm hearing back spasms now.

The Ottawa Senators can hurt you very very quickly...

Woohoo! Hopefully Zetts can pull out in front of him again in the goal scoring category...friggin' back to back Tricks...what a jopke!

Datsyuk and Zetterberg are sick in the shootout. SICK!

Peter Budaj is not having a great year....

Peter Budaj has a better record, GAA and Save % than both Toskela and Raycroft.

see here is your where your buffoon like comments come in..no one compared him to toskala and raycroft...
