    Also to clarify, I shouldn't say cut in reference to Hardy's case, just pointing out that there have been plenty of guys cut because of off the field issues.

    Wtf does this even mean? His statement was completely ignoring the major difference between NFL players and "everyone else in the country". This isn't the first NFL player to get cut over issues completely off the field either.

    Backstrom ties it with 0.8 left, Ovechkin the only goal in the shootout. Sorry Babcock, even your challenge didn't save you.

    Not everyone else in the country is subject to a personal conduct policy the way NFL players are, so this argument really doesn't make sense.

    Ovechkin ties the game...but no, another replay challenge. Waiting for some good looks of it to get posted, but sure looked like Williams contacted Riemer outside the crease initially, then was pushed/held in by defenseman. Not to mention none of it seemed to prevent Riemer from doing his job...

    Man Winnik after giving Leafs the lead against Caps took a very awkward fall. Not pretty. Also Ovechkin tied Federov for most goals by a Russian born player (483).

    Yeah, I definitely think it's going to be a process for the Leafs learning Babcock's system. Not going to be a quick fix, at least no completely. I think at some point this year though you'll see the team start to "get it" and be pretty competitive, even if they don't have the talent to really...

    Chara is just a tower of power. I know Ovechkin has knocked him off the puck a few times, and managed to out muscle him in front of the net for his goal tonight, but you're just not going to out and out win the physical battle with Chara. You can however, get in his head a little bit by...

    Ovechkin never shies away from the Chara match up. Can't believe we actually scored on a 5 on 3 too, love it when Marchand finally gets shit on for his constant douchebaggery.

    I remember a few years ago after Stafford's like 40+ TD season there were people talking about how the rise of the passing game to ridiculous levels and Stafford having 50 attempts a game was going to end up with him in the top 10 passing yards all time.

    I feel like I can't even blame Holtby, Carlson/Orpik pairing was a dumpster fire all over the ice...and it wasn't even mainly Orpik. Odd man rushes left and right. Still, you'd want Holtby to have another of those shots or two.

    One thing Ovechkin has always defied everyone's predictions on is his durability. Everyone was convinced with his physical style of play that he'd miss a ton of time in his career. He's never missed more than 4 games in a season save for '09-'10 where he missed 10 (although 4 were due to...

    Well, when you go into the 2nd period down 2-1, out shoot them 14-2 in the 2nd period, and enter the 3rd down 4-2...some dumb shit went on.

    Hope Holtby and Carlson/Orpik forget all about this game. I guess Holtby ended up with 16 saves, but when Rags went up 5-2 he had allowed 5 on 17 shots. Woof.

    I'm sure scoring will come down as the season goes on, but when I checked earlier there was 6 or 7 guys that had played about 10 games already that would be on pace to top 100 points this year. Nice to see the Orpik/Carlson pairing being terrible against the Rags. Pretty nice play by...

    Should be noted that 5 of those TD passes came after being down 41-0 to Miami and 42-0 to Atlanta. Not that he hasn't done some good things this year, but if that doesn't qualify as garbage time I don't know what does.

    Grimm, I wasn't saying it was based off the first 12 games this year, I know PP chances are way down since right after the 2004 lockout. I was stating that through 12 games this year, a lot more players are averaging over a point a game than guys did through last season. As you note, only 3...

    The goalie numbers are a big part of it, as is the PP chances, but I do think 3v3 OT will increase scoring some (I mean, really, how could it not?). Also again, there are a much higher number of players averaging over a point a game right now than there were through last season. Whether that...

    Somehow Luck stopped being absolutely terrible to only mildly so. Feel like they've been chucking it up every other play. Could have 6 picks in this game. Of course if they had a true #1 WR they might have won as well. Carolina trying to give it away.
