No the post I made right above yours was me admitting I made myself look really dumb. I complain about Steckel and then he scores on the powerplay.

I still dont like it. He is a face off master but he doesn't have the offensive skills to pass and shoot on the power play.

I've seen enough of Booth in the South East while you've been performing cunnilingus on the Sedins and fellating Booth based on his NHL '11 stats.

He is not the same player he used to be.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Well, this game isn't going well for Detroit.

Look forward to these teams meeting 8 times a year starting next year, though.

WTF?! Florida trying to help Van win a Cup!?

All Booth needs is a good supporting cast to really light it up. Reins is an excellent role player. VANCOUVER ALSO GOT A DRAFT PICK OUT OF IT!?!?!?!?

Sturm has been playing like shit. Samuelsson will likely be a regular NHL player, but certainly not enough to balance this deal out.

Christ! I don't see ANY upsides for Florida here.

Actually I had him in my fantasy pool last year and was watching his stats/highlights closely. He takes a lot of shots (12th last year in the league). You take a player like that and play him with good players and you'll see some magic.

So Vancouver and Florida traded underachieving players whose careers have been affected by injury?

Booth is 26 though, while Sturm and Samuelsson are over 30. In terms of potential Vancouver won out, plus they also got a draft pick.

Tyler Ennis appears to be out injured after that run into the net early in the game. Hasn't played a shift since.

And yep, looks like Ville Leino is on the LW now on the Roy/Stafford line.

He came out to skate during the commercial break and went back to the dressing room. I'm going to say bone contusion.

What kind of a fucking retard puts Plekanec/Cammy on the point on the PP? What kind of retard puts Darche/Desharnais on the PP? What kind of retard doesn't put AK/Eller on the PP?

Martin, you fucking retard.

Doesn't help having Conklin in net either, his positioning on the 2nd goal was just awful. Don't know why Babcock didn't put him in against the offensively challenged Blue Jackets and save Howard for the Caps..

I'm sure it has to do with respect. It's insulting to the other team to be like, "Oh we're gonna just dress our backup since you guys suck so much".

So taking a lot of bad shots is going to spark an offense?

Fun Fact: Joe Thornton has played more games in a Bruins uniform than a Sharks one. By the end of this year he will have more games played for the Sharks.

Habs playing another shitty game. Leafs are honing in on our small, young D and its working. And we have no sustained offensive pressure. Le sigh.

Is Bozak injured?

Who is the 12th forward for the Leafs?

I see Lupul, Kessel, Grabs, Kulemin, MacArthur, Steckel, Frattin, Kadri, Dupuis, Brown and Rosehill....

Nevermind, extra guy is Lombardi. I dunno what happened to Bozak.

Gillis manages to dump Sturm and get Samuelsson the fuck off the point? I don't even care who we got in return!

Florida got fleeced. Again.

TO be fair, they did get a good deal for Grabner, but then waived him.

Back to back will do that to you, but still doesn't excuse them for the dumb penalties and Conklin deciding not to show up. Though other guys look like they need to wake up here, seem to be skating in molasses.

23 goals last year, not that many bad shots. He had a better scoring percentage than 3 other players who shot more than him last year, Henrik Zetterburg, Joe Pavelski and Dustin Byufglein.

I would have to say that's pretty good. And that's on a bad team, let's see what he can do on this one.

They rarely play 3 bad periods, especially against good teams, so I'm not giving up yet. They had some good chances but Vokoun outplayed Conklin pretty badly in that period, that along with a terrible penalty by Bertuzzi and an even worse turnover by Emmerton has been the difference.

In all seriousness though, the Canucks have the greater potential to win this trade for obvious reasons.

Wow. Gillis once again impresses on the trade front. The fact that he got anything for Sturm is one thing, but Reinprecht and a draft pick? Not bad at all. Mikael was decent-to-good while he was here, but he's a slower healer than Salo and his PP work was iffy at best. I'm happy with this deal.
