"I don’t mean to be flippant, but I don’t know why we wouldn’t do that. It makes so much sense," Chicago Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman, who was a member of the hybrid-icing breakaway group Monday, told ESPN.com after the meeting. "What’s the down side? You still have the race for the puck, all you’re doing is taking the danger out of it. To me it seems like a no-brainer. Do it right now."
I agree with him here, but... Yeah.

DO YOU KNOW WHO MY DADDY IS??
Because there couldn't possibly be any issue with refs making a judgment call on that sort of thing! I agree that it's probably the best option, but to call it a no-brainer is just shortsighted.

It's Stan Bowman. Everything he does is shortsighted.
Bro hug. It's a great day, man.
Better enjoy it for the 5 games he plays.

So you have given up on the Leafs and Ducks and have turned to baseball? I can't believe you would go that low.

I'm glad Crosby is playing again but I think he should've waited until next season. Teams will be playing desperate hockey trying to get in the playoffs (or secure a high seed) and I don't think he'll be ready for the high intensity of play.
5 more games than the Habs will see in the post-season this year.
And for those wondering, he's been playing on the third line in practice, I imagine he's going to get pretty limited minutes early on.
Here's a gif for no reason:

I don't think anyone would be surprised if he gets another concussion again. Sending him back in the middle of the pre-playoffs shitstorm is a recipe for disaster.
So apparently Sean Avery is retiring... -cough- good for him! An everyone else!

Will have more highlights in 5 games than the entire Habs roster has had all season.

If Crosby suffers another concussion any time soon he needs to put serious thought towards possibly retiring.
Fixed.
Pretty much. He's a very young guy and still rich enough to do what he wants in life. He needs to worry about all the years after hockey where he'd have to live with whatever long term damage he did to himself.
I work like 100 hours a week so only by newspaper really. I don't think I'm missing much.
It does however pain me to think that we might not be enjoying another San Jose Sharks playoff collapse this season.

Timmonen in with JVR and Voracek tonight. Hopefully when Mez gets back we can get rid of Lilja again. I'd actually prefer the new kid Manning over him anyway, but that won't happen.
JVR,Voracek,Timmonen >>>> Crosby
Be afraid east. NewBryz2.0 has been unleashed!!!

Wait, JVR is back already from his injury? Glad to hear that, he's so young still.

Damnit nevermind. I misread it. Just Voracek and Kimmo. JVR and Mez still out.... Damnit.
:/ I was going to say, 2 weeks return after a broken foot sounded too good to be true. :/
I'm just as upset about it as you are.
I give him 5-10 games before he's out again, and that's being generous.

It just occured to me... Beauch has been our best defenseman this season. Is Lupul still the best piece for the Leafs? This trade is looking more fairer day by day.
Apart from what Heretic said there are also defensive lapses, Hiller was inconsistent at the start, a lack of confidence and some of our games have had the usual 'bad bounces' and 'bad refs'. Overall though it was just confidence being the main issue. The Ducks are like the hottest girl in the room who won't shut up about how 'ugly' they are.
Read him religiously, he's hilarious. Pass It To Bulis is also hilarious and rational (Canucks blogger), he's like the anti-Tabris. I wish there was Ducks bloggers as hilarious as these guys.
After a few months of showing up to Conneticut(sp) Whalers games wearing tracksuits, I'm not surprised. He disrespected the AHL so much, when all he had to do was stick with it for a bit then get picked up by another team. Baby.
God damn, man. Hope you get some time to smell the roses soon.
And yeah, you really aren't missing much this season except some Teemu highlights and some fantastic Hiller saves. Next season will be something special.
The Sharks rivalry has somewhat cooled down, after making the conference finals for the past two postseasons they've also lost the whole 'early playoff lol' stigma
It's all about hating on the Queens now.

I second this, Pass it to Bulis is hilarious. At least every Canucks fan has to read it, both his articles and game reviews are extremely entertaining (and, in most cases, true).

I hope Boudreau is reading this Sports Illustrated article on the St Louis Blues. Hitchcock sounds like a real good coach (y'know incase all that winning wasn't obvious that he was a good coach or anything).

O captain, (someone elses) captain!
Do any Leaf fans actually give a shit about tonight's game, or any other games for the rest of the season? I'm going to watch tonight's game because hockey is entertaining, period. I love watching this sport. But the Rangers and Canes are playing on TSN2 and I'll probably be switching back and forth a lot tonight.
It feels so crappy seeing the Leafs give away their playoff spot like it was nothing... They held onto 7th/8th almost all year long and then play at a 2-14-2 clip. =(
