He missed 15 games in 2009/2010 and 46 games (including playoffs) last year due to injury. He's older and more injury prone than Stamkos

Havlat is injury prone, Malkin is not.

 

[ZeroGravity]

I wouldn't say that Stamkos has less to work with in TB though

He's basically played with a revolving door of linemates this year. It's only recently he's found chemistry with anyone. He'd pretty much been doing it all on his own.

 

[Slurmer]

All the ones last year and from this year are due to one injury. The stuff from 09/10 was just minor things that popped up every now and then. And he's three years older than Stamkos, that's not even really an issue. There is a difference between being injured and being injury-prone. Malkin is not injury-prone.

Not trying to argue semantics with you. He's definitely more injury-prone than Stamkos is all I'm saying, and I don't mean it is a slight towards him as it's most directly attributable to the fact that he's much more of a physical player than Stamkos is.

 

[Milly79]

I'd say Stammer/Malkin have equal amounts of tools to work with.

 

[BigJonsson]

Crosby is still better

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Lindros > Crosby

Alexandre Daigle > All

[Montresor]

Ugh mathematically I should hope for Buffalo to win in regulation but I think that psychologically the Sabres are going to get a huge boost if they grab 8th and never let go.

I'm calling a Neal goal tonight. He hasn't popped one in since signing his contract.

I'm okay with this.

I had a lot of fun at Disney World over the All-Star break. I really enjoy animals and things of that nature. At Animal Kingdom there was a safari ride where you can go around in a bus and see lions and rhinos and big alligators and hippos. I thought that was the coolest ride. I do like rollercoasters, but I don’t like waiting in lines. We tried to hit as many rides as we could. But we were there for a short period of time and there are so many parks that it was tough to get to all of them.

Marchand's diary reads like mine after I went to Disney World when I was eight years old. :lol

So Rask is pretty much done for the season. sucks.

 

[TemplaerDude]

Awesome.

was there a crayon drawing of his interpretation of his meeting with mickey mouse as well?

oh yeah

Good. He can sit next to Tony Gallagher, in the shut the fuck up section.

There was an awkward moment when he ran up to Mickey and thought it was a relative of his.

Cammy won't be in the Flames lineup tomorrow against the Habs due to an injury.

He declined to speak to media too, probably for the best.

At least show the unedited version dude...

At Animal Kingdom there was a safari ride where you can go around in a bus and see lions and rhinos and big alligators and hippos. They were all charging at me so in order to protect myself I hip-checked them in the knees. The hippo managed to get up so I elbowed it in the head a few times and put my finger in it's mouth just to make sure it was concussed. As I was escorted out, I headed to Hollywood Boulevard and found Carter and Richards skipping down the Walk of Fame arm in arm, so I hip-checked them. I like Disney. Tonight I will eat a burger.

 

[MacAttack]

At least show the unedited version dude...

Oh, you mean this part?

I seem to be someone you either really like or really really don’t. A lot of people who don’t like me are from Vancouver who are just upset that we beat them. A lot of people on twitter were just fans trying to support their team whether Montreal fans or Vancouver fans or whatnot.

 

[Solo]

It doesn't really matter anyways - the game is in Calgary and the Habs are done. The fun will come next year when the Flames and Cammy come into Montreal.

 

[C Jones]

The old guy scored again.

Pens off to a great start.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Oh, you mean this part?

Except that I'm not from Vancouver, Mr Recchi.

 

[t0mp]

LOL!!!!! my man!!

 

[Smiley90]

I'm only sitting cross-legged so you guys can't see my raging boner.

Being in a market like Anaheim means he won't have as much media pressure as Gustofwind got. But a reliable backup with those numbers? Keep your Fleury/Johnson cause Hiller/Fasth will the best current tandem in the NHL.

-cough- You ever heard of Vancouver's backup?

 

[Merguson]

-cough- You ever heard of Vancouver's backup?

Luongo?

What about him?

EDIT: Apparently the Bruins signed Marty Turco.

 

[Zombie James]

Bruins sign Turco? Do they not have anyone in the minors good enough to be a backup?

 

[HadesGigas]

BOSTON, MA – Boston Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli announced today that the club has signed goaltender Marty Turco to a one-year contract. Per club policy, financial terms of the deal will not be disclosed at this time.

Turco will be placed on waivers and if he clears waivers, he will join the Bruins on Wednesday, March 7. Please also note that if he does clear waivers, he will not be eligible to play in the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs should the Bruins qualify, as he is joining the club after the Trade Deadline.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

-cough- You ever heard of Vancouver's backup?

Sorry, I'm still not convinced that Schneider is just Raffi Torres with a haircut.

Also the Johnson/Fleury comment was a throwback to when it was suggested that they were the best current tandem in the NHL. I forgot who made that comment in the first place, maybe Alucard or someone.

 

[SpectreFire]

-cough- You ever heard of Vancouver's backup?

CORY SCHNEIDER IS STILL A PROSPECT. HE'S NOT READY YET.

[MacAttack]

LOL!!!!! my man!!

You're taking his side?!?

I would expect a fan of the Broad Street Bullies to be able to appreciate Marchands unique talents.

That cute little story of his doesn't even make sense since Marchand went to Disney World not Disneyland.

 

[Socreges]

Except that I'm not from Vancouver, Mr Recchi.

Even Austrians know Marchand has a subzero IQ.

 

[MacAttack]

Bruins sign Turco? Do they not have anyone in the minors good enough to be a backup?

Our no.1 goalie in the AHL (Khudobin) has a wrist injury and his backup is a 22 year old who only recently got moved up to the AHL from the ECHL.

:lol dude, it was in jest. Have a little fun eh?

Here, I'll give you a free pass to make a free Rapunzel spinoff story using Getzlaf as the protagonist.

"Getzlaf, oh Getzlaf, let down your golden hair- oh don't worry"

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Wilson to Carlyle is like night and day. I think i've seen Carlyle smile more times in 2 interviews than Wilson did in his entirety here.

Apparently I need to start using more and :lols. I was fucking around as well.

Cmon Dastardly, you know you're my boy.

N'yaww gee Pop, does that mean we can go for ice cream?

 

[Marvie_3]

Ridiculous pace in the Sabres/Jets game so far.

 

[ActStriker]

Turco signing better than nothing, what with Tuukka done until the playoffs

I say he gets 5 or 6 starts

 

[fallout]

Whups. Forgot about the early start.

Go Jets!

 

[SpectreFire]

Turco signing better than nothing, what with Tuukka done until the playoffs

I also predict that he will open 3-5 bench doors.

And roll his eyes 20 times at Pierre Mcguire.
