Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Oh, and Tatar isn't even rotating in the 4th line today. Too too is, however.
Changes!

AHL MVP can't even beat out a bunch of slow old men for a job. Apparently he was in red jersey as well rotating in with the top 6, so if next game doesn't pan out I expect we will see him the following game in the top 6.

So, uh... Santorelli led all skaters in ice-time against the Sharks yesterday, scored our lone goal, has the most goals on the team and earned playing on a line with the Sedins.
Not bad for a free agency guy that so much expected to be in the AHL that he's on a 2way contract.

Leafs-gaf, here's a quick prospect report:
Andreas Johnson: (18y/o, 2013 7th round): Leading his SEL/SHL team in points (10 in 11 games); well above notable prospects such as Wennberg and Collberg.
Carter Verhaeghe: (18y/o, 2013 3rd round): Second in OHL scoring with 16 points in 8 games.
Connor Brown: (19y/o, 2012 6th round): Third in OHL scoring with 15 points in 8 games.

Hertl should learn how to keep his head up. Using your head to take a shoulder check isn't exactly the smartest thing to do.
Until he remembers he's mike Santorelli...
Sssshhh, don't tell him.
It'll be another Jeff Cowan situation. Gets unseemingly hot, only to drift into obscurity.
Pretty soon he'll be turning tricks in some back alley European league.
I'm disappointed that Greg McKegg has been non-existant for years now.
With a name like that he has to make it dammit!

Pretty much the same as the Hall hit from a couple years back, except Hall got crushed and was out of commission.
This will happen soon enough.

As long as he remembers he's 2010-2011 Santorelli, then I'm okay with that.

Someone should tell Ryan Kesler that it's an Olympic year and just because he played well in 2010 it doesn't mean he's a lock for 2014.

Only if you score 4 goals and stroke it as well.
Yeah, Bernier is like... The best goalie ATM.
In the GAF yahoo league, my tandem is apparently nr1 in terms of GAA&save%... Bobrovsky&Lehtonen :lol

We whittled down the number of players to 7 from 16 this year, so there are still some gems left to be had in free agency.
Are you guys gonna get your shit together anytime soon? I don't wanna have to drop McDonaugh from my team...
Let's just hope they keep being undefeated. I'd love if my Broncos beat the dolphins undefeated record.
Being born in Colorado it's always hard to watch for me to watch Stars vs Avs. :/

You can like two teams though. I have an affinity for the Canucks and Sharks myself.

This is what drives me nuts.
Babcock decides to stick with a horrendous Cleary/Franzen last year for the ENTIRE YEAR. He never changes the 2nd PP, which was awful. Were it not for Tatar/Nyquist/Andersson playing strong the last month of the season, the team wouldn't have even MADE the playoffs last year.
Tatar? One game on the 4th line. 9 minutes. "He didn't show me enough."
Screw you, Babcock.
Bobo and the NHL on TSN twitter accounts are confirming it, as of a minute ago.
It's on the NHL site now.
I guess the saying, "Keep ya' head up, kid" doesn't really mean much anymore.

Edler got 3 because of history. Still a BS suspension.
I just realized that Kassian is back next game, which means Weber moves from 4th line wing to D and we don't have to play Alberts. Crisis averted, for now.
I kind of wonder if Torts will move Santorelli off the Sedins, given how well it's working atm and he wants to see Kassian in action first.

? Maybe flip the 2nd&3rd line wingers, who knows.
EDIT: I still think Hertl could have EASILY avoided that hit i he didn't skate head-first into the bracing-for-impact Edler. If it had been anyone but Hertl they'd have shown more common sense and braced for a normal shoulder hit

Happy to see him finally get it out, and he did not disappoint. I have it on repeat now.
So much derp in one gif.I don't think this can go on for too much longer.

I still remember Belfour losing it and trying the blue-line poke-check when he was a Leaf. It happened a few times too, and when it did you knew it was going to get rough.
Probably everyone, or they'll give him basic stock answers. As funny as it was the reporter fucked up there.
Seems likely, Botchford may have fucked up his career now because he wanted to get a quote out.

Botchford made a play: Give me attention, I have an EDGY blog.
Unfortunately the principle of the double effect applies: He may now be popular among the mouth-breathers, but he's lost credibility with the players he's supposed to be getting his material from. I'd be really surprised if he ended up advancing his career after this.

What's worse is that he accused Thornton of being "insolent" in interrupting the interview to tell the joke and that's why he decided the quote wasn't off-the-record.
