So... he's a little kid?

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
"Hey, I know what will change things around! I'll change up our 4th line! That should easily get the horrible power play going, even though none of those guys play on it" -- Mike Babcock
It's a PLAYER issue, Mike. Franzen isn't going to change being paired with Abdelkader. He's still going to suck.
Well Marty Biron is starting against the Blues tomorrow, soooo...come back next week, I guess.

Stamkos is having Filppula tutor him on how to take better faceoffs. What a signing that's turning out to be.

Andy McDonald has been pretty outspoken against Hitchcock since retiring. Given the rumors of several negative influences in the locker room, the prevailing opinion now is that he was one of the worst.
Which is pretty wierd. Hitch gave him lots of top 6 minutes when the guy would rather turnover the puck than risk a check. Even during the Kings series, when he had more than checked out.
Not to mention that he's bitching on twitter about Hitch not giving Sobotka more minutes when it has been obvious for years that Sobi is one of Hitch's favorite players. That very game Sobi was promoted to the 2nd line.
AMac seemed like a pretty chill guy. Very composed and one of the few players pushing for reason during the lockout.

Funny, don't really remember him being that great at faceoffs even when he did play some center for us, he was decent but idk.
True. And I'm a fan of both but watching the avs vs stars games are probably the worst games for me. I want them both to succeed.

He's at nearly 60% so far this year. Can't complain with that.

Oh Jesus, I hope so. If we drafted that kid I would Joe Thornton immediately, don't care where I'd be at that moment. I'd stroke it.
And Edler should learn to try to play the puck instead of trying to go for a dangerous hit against someone who doesn't even have possession.
One last drive for the Cup, baby!
This is a bit surprising, he always seemed like such a hard worker. The way the media talks I thought the issue started and ended with Perron.
It's an amazing spectacle in IMAX 3D with cinematography like I've never seen. They could have sold tickets for the opening scene alone, and it would have been worth seeing.
As a narrative, it's "pretty good."
I don't think this can go on for too much longer.
I'm loving the fact that they're all diving to stop the puck. I'm serious. The WANT is there. Things just aren't clicking.
This. He's done this hit multiple times, where they're both going for the puck and at the last second he pops back and knocks the other guy down.
But this was so...tame compared to what he's done in the past.
It's mind boggling.
I saw it last Friday. It was amazing.

Keep these toss the current.
Umm....
No.
One of the smartest moves that organization made was to move away from it's Disney roots.
Forreal.
WHAT, DICK BROS. YOU GOT A PROBLEM, RED?
Not even that. The Ducks are going to earn a shit ton of money for that jersey by keeping it "rare".
Got mine yesterday!!!
Bieksa was receiving treatment for his foot after the game...
If he can't play Saturday, that'll be 3 KEY players we've lost in two games against the Sharks. For fuck's sake.
Hard to gauge how good this team really is when we can't ever have our full lineup. We don't even have a top 6...More like a bottom 9.

Has every injury so far resulted from shot-blocking? Schroeder, Burrows, Bieksa?

Time to show everyone how overrated Tavares is.
LOL are you serious?
Not enough face palms in the world.
Until he loses a game, then Reimer gets a start.

I think Perron was just an odd man out, lone wolf. Didn't fit the system, but wasn't an ass about it.
My best guess is McDonald and Halak. Halak seems humble in interviews this year and the players rally around him when he's playing well. I don't think we'll see the groin pull kind of shit from Halak this year given his training, but there's no way we go another full season without a mental breakdown.
You would be crazy not to play a goalie after a shutout. Its still not even close to being decided.
I'm not being negative about it. I'm just saying that Reimer will probably get a start once Bernier loses a game or two.

SOMEONE TAKE HIM FOR GOD'S SAKE
.. I mean, oh no I hope no one takes him.
I really like the guy but Biron should not be starting tomorrow, fuck. I also wanna see some roster moves, because why the fuck not?
Kreider - Richards - Zuccarello
Pouliot - Stepan - Callahan
Boyle - Brassard - Miller
Asham - Moore - Dorsett
Mcdonagh - Girardi
Staal - Stralman
Moore - Bickel
Yes, Bickel. Just a shake up while we wait for Hagelin, Nash, and some semblance of defense consistency. We're gonna get fucking killed tomorrow anyway.
