Flyers are starting to look like they need to make some moves soon

 

[scuse7]

NHL 36

Good find on Pat Kane

 

[frenchblue23]

Kings only 3 points behind the Hawks, and 2 points behind first place in the pacific division, what the hell?  

 
Just imagine how many more games they would have won if they were able to score more than 2 goals per.  

HBD cquan.

[DeadsetAce]

total drubbing. we didn't even play THAT awful. obviously not great by any means...but nothing bounced right tonight. was just one of those nights where nothing works. really was hoping we'd ruin the shutout for miller

So anyone on the eastern seaboard is good, huh? 

Lu playing well last few games. Hell, even stopping a few shootout opponents. Just can't seem to catch the Wings.

Naw, cheer for who you want man! 

 

[Bad Religion]

I just said that because I assume cheering for the Sabres and Rangers would be like me also cheering for the Flames.
It'll be a cold, cold day in hell.... 

 

[witnessmycalm21]

Meh.. 

Kind of but then not really.

Buffalo is just Buffalo. For me atleast when it comes to a faceoff between the Rangers...

Rangers have more of a Rivalry with teams in their division/other teams ahead of the Sabres. 

Its still Wild/Rangers all day

 but i show the Sabres some love also

.. idk why .. i just like em i guess...

Its not even like you can call me a bandwagoner either though

Im rooting for a team down in the dumps in the east and who has never won a Stanley Cup in their history

Plus, they NY .. so yeah 

 Its always been NY & MN teams. 

I guess the only real "Really though

?" team contradictions are that i like both the Gmen & Jets. Along with liking the WISC Badgers & MN Gophers. Other than that.. nada 

 

[True Blues]

I hate to beat a dead horse, but I'd trade Corvo for a bucket of pucks at this point.

He's atrocious.

its like your management said eff it, we keepin the stars bump the role players

i mean really... is hossa, kane,toews neccessary... i understand hoss was signed first and theyd be fools to not sign the young guns to long term deals but the nail in the coffin was Duncan Keith.... all GREAT players but one of those contracts has to go for the betterment of the team IMO

/end Blackhawks rant

I honestly feel we are going to be fine. Though I'd prefer them not to have a streak like this; I believe they will play much better when it counts. Falling this far behind is never a good look though.

not that i disagree...but i would like to move boychuk at the deadline. turnover machine and absolutely horrendous decision maker imo. and his fulton reed on net shot percentage drives me nuts

Gotta get there first if you get me.  This will be what, 3 years in a row the backup might be the #1 in the postseason?

does anyone have a logical explanation as to why they didnt resign Niemi 2 yrs ago... they said they didnt have the cap space but he had a GREAT contract for his ability i felt... Sharks got a steal and the Hawks made their own mess... theyre depending on the offensive talent to make up for all the gaps on D n lack of "grinders"... which works alot when u have sharp, toews, hossa, kane, etc... but thats not how you win in the playoffs obviously...

 

[witnessmycalm21]

Koivu makes his return for the Wild tonight.... Hopefully he can fuel a spark for the team...
