Hodgson has been playing against 1-2 lines this year and doing a pretty good job all things considered. 26 points or so and only a -2 rating. He'd be third in scoring if he were still with the Canucks, only behind the twins.

I just saw Kassian's stats - does he get used against other team's top lines?

Kadri's definitely being used in the right situations by Carlyle. To develop him, and because we have the benefit/curse of playing 3 defensively minded centres ahead of him.

The point being is that he's reaping a lot of points playing against third pairings and bottom six forwards. If he had to play against top four defense pairings, then his production will likely go down.

The best part is all those Coyote fans standing up as if they both a) give a shit about the Coyotes and b) know a fucking thing about the rules of hockey.

Edler runs Smith without even trying to avoid him and Smith is the piece of shit. Gotcha.

I'm not saying it wasn't a penalty, but the reaction, C'mon. Also, that wasn't 5mins.

EDIT: These penalties are getting confusing.

Doing nothing to avoid contact and heatshotting a goalie is 5 minutes smelly.


Fuck you for making me defend Smith too.

Remember the Blackhawks fans reaction when Shaw ran over Smith in the play offs?

Yeah, he sold that hit way harder than he did with Edler's.

I agree. It's one of many problems, but it's a definitely a big part of it. Firstly I think Hagelin-Stepan-Nash should be kept together for like 10 games straight. They've been real hot at times, and I think they'd get over whatever lull in performance they may have, whereas everything Richards touches seems to just suck right now. Gaborik, I have no idea what he's doing. I still like him but any ideas of him flourishing with Richards, or being able to score more with Nash occupying top defenders... none of it has happened, Something needs to change.

Can't have this much talent and be a bubble playoff team that has no easy games. We can't have an easy game at home against a garbage team? We're going nowhere until something changes. I don't think they're just going to "snap out" of a funk. We're not 10 games in now, we're more than halfway through. I guess the one advantage is that in being such a big-market team with no money issues, you know something will be done to rectify the situation. Whether that works for next year or further down the line, at least we know it's gonna happen.

Money isn't a problem right now, but that's because the kids are still young.

It's going to become a bit of an issue with the cap because we have many guys that are earning a pittance right now on ELCs that are going to get seriously paid in the offseason as RFAs. Hagelin, Stepan, and McDonagh are all RFAs this year and are all going to make much much more than they do right now.

And next season's set of UFAs is going to be crazy. Callahan, Lundqvist, Girardi, Gaborik, Biron, Stralman, Asham, and Boyle are ALL UFAs in 2014, and Del Zotto will be an RFA.

I'm surprised he didn't lay on the ice for 3 days like he did after Shaw hit him.

Smelly, just for reference, this is from the NHL rulebook:

42.1 Charging -

A goalkeeper is not “fair game” just because he is outside the goal crease area. The appropriate penalty should be assessed in every case where an opposing player makes unnecessary contact with a goalkeeper. However, incidental contact, at the discretion of the Referee, will be permitted when the goalkeeper is in the act of playing the puck outside his goal crease provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact.
