This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
What game is he playing? Enix logo, but I can't make out the cartridge.

Smith has played for Canada on international ice. That probably gave him the edge in an ultimately meaningless selection.

Hamhuis > Seabrook

Nash will be a good choice if he finds his game, but I would've preferred St Louis, too

But none of those are horrible decisions. Don't be pissy, Hawks fans

Maybe the international play did give him an edge, but Crawford has shown huge in pressure games and is playing better right now than Smith and that should count for something.

And Hamhuis isn't better than Seabrook. Seabrook is probably one of the top shut-down defencemen in the league, has great puck-handling and plays very good with Keith. The team looks to love NHL pairings, so this is a bizarre omission to that one. Hamhuis is very good, but he made the team because he shoots left and not right. I'm not that annoyed with Nash when I think about it. He played well with Toews in 2010, so if they are paired together again with Sharp and Nash can play like he did in 2010, it will be a good thing for the team and his selection will be a good one.

4 regulation wins since November 1st (30 games)

Isles got into Toronto at 4 am last this morning after playing a game last night and iced the worst save % goalie in the league......lol.

You're arguing about 2 guys who will probably never dress for the team regardless. Also Seabrook shoots right, and he's not better then any of 4 guys a head of him on the right side.

I need the Habs to do something outrageous soon that you need to defend because I've agreed with everything you've said for weeks/months now and it's getting weird.

I've already begun preparing myself for when Bergevin trades Subban, Price and Galchenyuk for Kane, don't worry.

Apparently Tarasenko found out he made Russia's Olympic team by checking some website this morning. LOL, not even an email.

So we couldn't beat the Rangers on a back to back and iirc, the Isles were similarly supposed to be tired too. Goddamn this team...

Need some goddamn wins in regulation 'in a row'. I'm not even sure Bolland would help us that much at this point. Maybe the Olympic break will help... :(

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
I totally didn't realize/forgot that Hamhuis played together with Shea Weber in Nashville. Hope he sees the ice in Sochi on the third pairing over Vlasic.
