Ok, where should we focus then? The incredible +0.0136 / game advance in the +- department that Colaicovo has over Komisarek? Or is it the 0.186 difference in point per game average (not even over a single full season in the NHL by Colaiacovo, by the way, despite being already 24 years old)? Yeah, every 5-6 games, Colaicovo will get a point more than Komisarek will.

Yeah, every 5-6 games, Colaicovo will get a point more than Komisarek will. With the number of games he's been playing each year, I'm really looking forward to see his big offensive totals in 10 years and how they compare to Komisarek's carreer. He will absolutely CRUSH him. Norris material, I'll say.

It was a Hab fan who said Komisarek was "much better" than Colaiacovo and he didn't even have to mention it. When I point out there's little to no difference in their stats you have no answer for it. Injuries aside, Colaiacovo is younger and has progressed faster than Komisarek.

By the way you're not doing yourself any favours. Komisarek has 30 points in 218 games. If you project Colaiacovo's totals over 218 games he'd have 70 points. That's quite a bit of a difference.

We just proved that Komisarek has been hitting and blocking shots way more often than Colaiacovo. So how has he progressed faster? And he's just one year younger, by the way, so that's not quite a huge issue.

Komisarek is a stay at home D, a big guy playing defensively. Colaiacovo is not a defensive defenseman, and as far as offensive defensemen go, he's pretty average. 70 points over almost 3 FULL seasons is nothing to write home about, especially when he STILL HASN'T PLAYED 82 GAMES YET, over 4 years.

Bouncing back from injury and putting up points. They're 2 different defensive styles. While Komisarek is a stay at home lug who'll get 10-20 points a year, Colaiacovo is more of a skater and will put up 40-50 points a year.

Well Komisarek is already doing this point total you just mentioned, while Colaiacovo is not even remotely close to what you're saying.

Like I said, the rash of injuries makes it difficult to consistently put up numbers. Once he gets a stretch of games and seasons behind him his numbers will go up.

I see. So by your logic, Huet probably will never win more than 19-20 games a year. Plain facts baby.

Who cares about Huet? Our future goaltender isn't Huet. Halak is currently better than he was before getting injured, and Price will come a bit later. Maybe Huet will never win more than 19-20 games, I don't give a damn, I never liked him anyway. If he does, great. If he doesn't, someone else will.

Just know that I'll keep this post archived for 10 years. We'll revisit the Komisarek vs. Colaiacovo debate then. Oh I pity you on April 4th, 2017. :lol

Again it should tell you how good of a team we have since we still managed to stay in the playoff hunt even WITH Raycroft in Net.


Its like when the Canucks made it to the playoffs with Cloutier.....any other goalie and i truly believe they would have won the cup.

So you're saying the Leafs could be an elite team with someone like Luongo in net?

I want the Habs to make the playoffs more than the Leafs but after reading the past 3 pages, I'd prefer it if both teams didn't make it and the Islanders got in.

If the Flames lose to San Jose and the Avalanche manage to still be alive after that, it's going to be my version of Game 7 of the Finals when the Flames take on the Oilers.

And I'm serious, if the Oilers can win that game and help the Avalanche eliminate the Flames...I'd be more than satisfied with this terrible season all of us Oiler fans endured.

Ovechkin with two sniper shots past Lehtonen tonight, his 45th and 46th of the season.

Another 50 goal season is within reach, but at the same time and just as impressive, another 50 assist season is possible aswell.

All those points with little to no real help for most of his career, taking the team's rebuild in stride with a real winning attitude.

It occurred to me the Leafs can be eliminated tomorrow.

A Leafs loss, regardless if it's overtime or regulation combined with a Habs win means early golf season for Sundin.

Same goes for a Leafs reg. loss and a MTL overtime loss.

I'm so torn over the Anaheim/San Jose game tonight I might not watch it. If San Jose wins, our slim chance at the Division remains, but would place us lower then San Jose(most likely) if we end up not winning out. If Anaheim wins, the Division Title's gone but we'd probably finish 5th(or even 4th if Nashville continues to slide). AARGH! Whoever wins, just end it in regulation.

Nah, not one with only one game left to play Wolf. He needs a centre badly and the Caps will get one in the summer for sure. Datsyuk has said if he doesn't sign with the Wings again, he'd like to play with his best friend AO. Briere and Drury are also UFAs and I highly doubt the Sabres will sign them both....


EDIT: Pat Burns picks Lecavalier over Crosby

"He's the best hockey player in the National Hockey League by far," Burns said Wednesday while promoting a prostate cancer fundraiser.

"I saw a game in Tampa when he played against Crosby and he just put on a show. You could see Crosby thinking `I'm going to be good like that one day.' He's big, strong, he can skate, he can score and I'd say he's probably the best hockey player in the league.

"And him and Marty St. Louis are probably the best duo in the NHL.

:lol at the Crosby "thinking" line

Lecalier's definitely an amazing player. I would say he's got better hands and a better shot than Crosby, whereas Crosby is a workhorse who dogs it out along the boards and can get by on sheer force of will alone. He brings it on every shift.

The Draft Lottery

The selection order in the first round is subject to a lottery, held among the teams that hold the top 14 picks.

The winning team moves up a maximum of four places in the draft order. The lottery is weighted to favor the teams with the fewest points. It was introduced to prevent a weak team from deliberately losing to guarantee itself a high draft pick.

So as of today Philly, Phoenix, LA, and Edmonton would have a shot BUT Chicago and Washington are just 'ahead' of Edmonton. Also Edmonton has more wins in case of tie break, lol.
