Gaborik?

I think Gaborik is out, only because it's 5-on-5 and I think a bunch of his goals have come on the PP.

So I have to think someone who has a good number of goals this year and doesn't see alot of PP time.

I am going Alex Burrows.

I'll give one more guess and a hint. He's under twenty-five and not considered a star, but he plays for a Cup contender.

Just curious if these are coming from BehindTheNet?

I've checked some stuff out on there before, pretty interesting.

Not knowing who the guy is yet (don't want to cheat), is he a third liner playing out of his mind right now?

I went to my first Bruins game this afternoon and man, it was a snoozer. Ottawa won 2-1 behind goals from Alfredsson and Spezza. It was Spezza's first game back following six weeks on the shelf. Both teams had goals disallowed in the 2nd period. The Boston media reported that both refs told Mark Recchi his goal was good but that Toronto vetoed the good goal call. If true that seems strange to me. I would think Toronto would defer to the judgment of the on-ice officials in nearly all instances.

I got the info from a team blog on Sports Blog Nation.

As for the player, he's third line now, but has been second line and probably has a future as a second line RW. His point total is under thirty, but give his ice time, he's done well.

Scottie Upshall?

Pretty sure I got the guy...I went to behindthenet.ca

And I will say I am a little surprised by it. I know this guy has been scoring lately, and he's finally overcome injuries and a (fairly) long journey to the NHL.

Eric Fehr - Washington

His points total isn't all that impressive 14/12/26, but he has very little PP time and has made the most of his third line time. I wouldn't argue he's one of the top five scorers, but as Suburban said, he's finally injury free and scoring.

At least Caps fans may finally be able to stop saying, "We could have had Getzlaf."

Chomp-gate, part II

Arron Asham says Matt Cooke bit him in a scrum that occurred in the 3rd period of today's Pens-Flyers

Asham: Matt Cooke bit me! | Flyer Files

I'm sure the "intelligent" Pens fans won't be outraged with this (unlike they were with Hartnell). Just like they didn't think it was a big deal that the FSN guy withheld the footage of the goal. (I'm not referring to you SR)

On the game...you can't go 1 for 8 on the pp and expect to win. Gagne cost the Flyers the game plain and simple. That was one of the worst games I've ever seen him play.

Johnson played really well, the one beating him sort of flukey. After the first period, the Flyers really never had prime scoring chances either. I think the 2nd period shots were something like 14-5.

And the hypocrisy will go both ways. Remember with Letang/Hartnell, it was "don't put your fingers in another person's mouth!!" but, I am sure this time, Cooke will have grabbed Asham's hand and stuffed his fingers into his mouth just so he could bite him.

Besides, I am calling bullshit. Cooke doesn't have even teeth to bite him.

Typically, the thread at HF is classic. Pens fans doing exactly as you said, Flyers fans saying Cooke doesn't respect "the code". Rinse. Repeat.

Bruins looking good these days.

fixed again :)

I know it's been a few days, but whenever I see the Carcillo-Gaborik fight, all I can think is... wait for it...

Gabs on the ground

I'll be here all week, folks!

Someone delete this thread.

At the Rangers - Pens game tonight. Amazed at how small MSG is, there isn't a bad seat in the place. I figured it would be as big as Staples.

What section?

This is sweet. More, please.

stupid Versus (and Direct TV) I am listening to the radio feed of Pens-Rangers and have it pulled up on CBS Gamecenter to watch stats.

Pretty funny, Chris Conner, called up from WBS today to replace Billy Guerin, gets the start next to Crosby...and scores about 2 mins into the game.

CBS had the assists posted to Fleury and Crosby...and the following shots from Godard and Kennedy posted...but nothing about the goal. It appeared as:

PIT: GOAL (); Assists Crosby, Fleury

I guess they weren't prepared with a link and picture for Chris Conner.
Finally after refreshing 4 times, and 4 mins of gametime later, it's updated.

343

And I actually take the bit about not being a bad seat in the house back. Once the arena fills up we can't see one corner of the ice at all, especially with all the vendors and fans walking in front of us. Still nice to be so close to the action

Did Guerin get arrested for looking like a child molester with that mustache?

Also it is nice to see that John Stevens is as "animated" as a color guy as he was a head coach.

PG says unspecified injury, but I don't buy that at all.

Carcillo held him up yesterday for moustache tips, and he missed the flight to NY.

Dola

This headline must have been written by someone at FOFC

Penguins' Cooke says biting accusation has no teeth

What a horrible call (or calls). Jeez.

Kerry Frazier sucks. Horrible, horrible!

I wish I had taken my trip to New York in a month where I could have caught a hockey and basketball game at MSG. Not that August was so bad; I got to check out Yankee Stadium (old). Still... maybe next time.

Going to the Wings/Coyotes game tonight. Very excited. Why you might ask? Well of course because it's dollar dog night.

The simple things.

Oh plus Kronner is back.

Welcome to the club.

Is this his last year though? I know it is for Bill McCreary.

I'll look for you on the Versus TV coverage. I take it you'll be the guy with a dozen wieners stuck in your mouth.

At least that's who I'd be looking for if I was trying to find you on the street.

On the streets its all brawts so I don't think I would give you a second glance.

Fixed!

At least they aren't beating up cabbies...

Blackhawks limo pics prove athletes like women - Red Light District

Hrmm, I must say that I am not terribly impressed with your choice of limo companions, Mssrs. Versteeg, Madden and Kane.

Jeez, the chick in the red plaid shirt looks like Jay Pandolfo. John Madden probably jumped into the limo because he thought his old PK unit was out.

Fixed

Let's not be harsh to the poor girl.

You raise a good point. Based on this picture, I think the blonde in the black dress looks a little more like Pandolfo. Though, both women share the resemblence.

The skinny blond girl can be cute, but come on they can do better than the bigger blond girl! Who are these hockey players, cast members of Jersey Shore?

I'd say they were slump busting but that wouldn't make sense because they don't play for the Maple Leafs.

Or the Oilers. :(

Hurricanes are trying really hard to not draft first now as they blow out the Rangers 5-1, this on the heels of routing the Bruins 5-1 on Sunday. They're now three clear of Edmonton and are now three back of Toronto. I doubt they've got a 25-5-0 finishing kick in them (which would eek them into the periphery of the playoff picture at 91 points), but they seem determined to wreck some seasons if nothing else. Also doesn't hurt to drive up the trade value of some players (Cullen, Whitney) so we can get more in return at the deadline.

Since Logan's "jinx" the Rangers have lost 4 in a row by a combined score of 17-3

I hope the limo driver is okay with Kane in the vehicle.

Or you could be like Zetterberg and Datsyuk: hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9JiV3d74Rk&feature=popular

At least the Blackhawks paid their bill...unlike some Oilers players...

Wish I'd thought of that.
