Yeah I really dont get this move at all. I could see a coach that is worried about losing his job doing this, but that isnt the case at all. Letting him play seems to be way more risk then reward.

Um AV should be very worried about losing his job.

No way. They have had a lot of success since he was hired. This is the first really big fuck up, everyone gets one. If they stumble next year then he should be worried.
As someone who's been following the Daniel Sedin stuff pretty closely, it's worth pointing out that we didn't know what his status was even a few days ago and why he was held back. They've been extremely cryptic and tight-lipped. It could be his shape more than anything. He said he hasn't had headaches in a while. I'm not worried. I really doubt they're putting his long-term health at risk here.
ohgodohgodohgodohgod
it's a really tough call to make, and I wouldn't wanna do it in a million years. They're looking for the big boost with their star player coming back. I think it will spark something, I just hope he's 100% (i don't even like him :X )
The fuck? This isn't the GIF I posted.....
Rare factoid for today:
If the Canucks get swept tonight, Socreges' playoff beard will officially be the shortest its been since 1994.

Short of one Finals appearance, MacTavish hasn't had the greatest success. Then again, it was the Oilers.
I agree that AV will get one more chance. Next year, if the team slumps or gets knocked out early
again

FUCK YOU RANGERS LETSS GOOOOOOOOO
Where the Devils and Flyers fan find one of two possible common grounds: fuck the Rangers. Senatroll the shit out of them, Ottawa.

Man fuck this shit just found out Alfie isnt playing. If he played his last game ever because of some cheap shot that would really fucking suck.
Seriously, how depressing.

I really hope it is a clean Flyers game tonight.
Clean Flyers game :laughs:
I was just thinking CBC puts together some epic intros.

Chances of a win without Alfie are slim IMHO
3rd playoff series in a row where he's out or playing injured
If that hit ends his career I hope the Rangers never win a cup except from Messier and Frito Lays.
Such a massive understatement. HNIC does incredible intros and montages.

I have this odd feeling both the Pens and Canucks will win today.
Ottawa
The nearly hour-long practice was lively, and the mood was optimistic before they flew to Philadelphia in the afternoon. A day earlier, Bylsma described the team`s emotions as shock and disbelief.
In 24 hours, that had improved.
"I don`t think anybody came here today shocked or down," Crosby said.
What they felt was a sense of urgency.
"We`ve just got to win one game," said Crosby, who reiterated often that his team had yet to put a complete game together. "That`s really what it comes down to."
Only three NHL teams have recovered from 0-3 to win a playoff series, including the Flyers in 2010. It`s an overwhelming situation, but Crosby said his team`s focus isn`t on the long odds.
"It`s something you can`t dwell on," he said. "You just can`t afford to dwell on that. It`s not going to make anything better and it`s not going to change anything. I think our minds are in the right place. We want to find a way to get back into this series. I think every guy in here believes we can do that."
