The Sun is fairly accurate when they report on the Senators, they suck when they write about anything else.
lol no.
As for the team, my expectations is don't get swept by the Pens, if we can win 1 game, I will be happy.

if he practice with contact right now, I am sure he could step into round 2 sometime.
After watching the game last night, when the Pens are rolling their lines they should crush any team they play. Anderson gonna stand on his head though.

They haven't exactly been crushing the Islanders up until last night so I don't think they will be crushing us either.
Islanders might even be winning the series if not for Nabakov's .847 SV%

it's impressive by the islanders to take 2 games against the penguins. They could even had won a third game that went to OT.

I would love to have seen the Isles/Pens series with someone other than Nabakov in net
Hmmm, good point.

Look at another way.
How well is any team going to stack up against a .943 sv?
Another riveting response by a knowledgeable hockey fan from Pittsburgh.

Yeah, if you guys could stop acting like the series is over when its currently 3-2, that'd be great.

nearing return is good enough. Round 2 is probably going to be long.

Man that Derrick Rose fella apparently is close to return! Any day now right!

If the Isles could score on Volkun that'd be great too.
I want you guys to win, but it's not looking good.

I remember Voukun as a good goalie and he looked real solid yesterday, why hasn't he been playing over loleury?
Cause Fleury is their 'franchise goaltender' and by now going with Vokoun they're basically saying "we've made a huge mistake".
It's Hfboards, the sweaty ballsack of the internet, did you guys really expect better?

Nothing beats ToskaLOL. Epitome of lols
From Puck Daddy:
Ryan Getzlaf and Teemu Selanne believe the Hart Trophy voting is a product of EAST COAST BIAS. "The only time the media in the East sees anyone in the West is when we play them," Getzlaf said. "You're not going to see our games, the media, staying up to 1 or 2 in the morning to watch." Which obviously explains why neither Corey Perry nor Henrik Sedin has ever won the Hart.
IT'S ON.

and crosby missed 1/3 of the season. Penguins did just fine without him as well.
I spent the last 2 hours actually working.
I'm burned out and now comes to excitement and worry for the game tonight.
NHL also announced if the Leafs win tonight game 6 will be at 7:30pm on Sunday.
Now if you'll excuse me I'll continue to freak the fuck out.

Best points per game in the league on the best point-producing line in the league, and because Sidney Crosby. Accept it.
Fun historical fact about this year's Hart candidates: this is the first time ever that all three were former #1 picks.

His play was still shit almost halfway through the season even if he was getting points. The game where he played his worst and Milbury called him out came at the very end of February.
He didn't start playing until March.

Based on PPG performance and +/- alone, Crosby deserves to be in that group of Hart noms.
I have no problem with the west taking shots at Mr. "Controller Disconnected", though.
I'd probably put Toews up ahead of either Ovy, Getzlaf or Teemu.
I think you could also make a strong case for Pavel Datsyuk or Sergei Bobrovsky.

Hart Trophy != Art Ross.
He put up the best plus/minus numbers of his entire career...in under 40 games.

Which would be awesome if plus/minus wasn't a garbage stat.
edit:
And the fuck does limited games have to do with it.
I was hoping for a Saturday afternoon game, that is if they win tonight.
What does that have to do with the Hart.
I get the sense that the Canadian media is just dying to hand Crosby an award.
Yup.
equippedwithtowel
Member
Wat?
The canadian media doesn't need Crosby to be the face of the league the way NBC does.
I anything the CBC would give the Hart to Kessel if they got complete control.
ZeroGravity
Member
He was Bob McKenzie's #1 choice, for what it's worth.
Did you watch this season?
True.
Also true. Yes, Crosby puts up great numbers, we all know this. That's not what the Hart is about. Pens did fine without Crosby, so he's not as valuable to his team as others. I'd argue Bobrovsky over him, as well as maybe Toewa&Getzlaf.

I was going to pick a reasonable Hart candidate for Toronto, then I realized they didn't have one.
Kessel is obviously never gonna happen but if say Tavares or Toews played for Toronto you bet the hype train would be running.
