Too much money for both Suh and McCoy imo. Suh I can understand because someone was going to throw money at him, and for him to go to Miami they'd have to pay him (although he will help them quite a bit). RB's just don't need to get paid that much anymore though in McCoy's case.

I gotta say that video looked fantastic. Even though I haven't been able to bring myself to sink more time into this game I'm pretty impressed by how much content they seem to be cranking out and I always thought the "look" of the game was amazing.

Fuck Fleury Grimm, I was hoping Holtby could catch him for the shutout lead. Kings were all over your guys most of the game last night, but Fleury did the job. I will say in OT Kings looked totally on the back foot and it seemed a matter of time before Pens won it.

That's fantastic. Love the description of 6. Never got the Kefka love.

Nice to play Buffalo. New acquisition Glencross 1+2, Ovechkin 1+1, Backstrom 2 assists. Backstrom actually passed Ovechkin on career assists on Ovechkin's goal, then they both assisted on a Johannson late goal. Backstrom now tied with Michal Pivonka for all time Caps lead with 418 assists...

Smith has had his share of misses, that's for damn sure. He's had some really big hits though. Also did someone list Bad Boys as a miss? The fuck? Anthony Mackie is the fucking truth though. Dude needs to get more roles.

It would have to be Marchand too. I'd be rustled.

Surprised it didn't happen much sooner than this.

Just hurts when the secondary guys aren't having one of their "on" games. Had to rely on a seeing eye shot on a bad angle from Glencross to get us on the scoresheet. Not that our PP minds the 1/1 night, but only other guy who even seemed close all night was Johannson with 2 posts and forcing a...

Thought the 2nd one was a little soft from that angle. Give you guys credit though you controlled the majority of the play. Overall I did think Holtby looked pretty good. Johannson was snake bit like hell tonight, nice to see him take his shots when Ovechkin was out at least.

We'll have to wait and see what it is. I feel like if it was something major there would have been more noise. Or maybe the lack of noise should be what worries me.

You can throw out the game winning goals stat in general though. Like the writer says in the piece, say you score the 2nd goal of a 5-1 beatdown, technically yours is considered the GWG. Probably even slightly less useful than +/- as a general stat. Some of the rest of that article is...

I know the Caps video guy had to do this as well one night (former college goalie), while waiting for the backup to fly/bus in from Hershey. He got to take warmups and sit on the bench for most of the 1st period. I can only imagine how cool that would be.

Fricking Dallas couldn't hang on for 1.1. Hell AO even made an Orpik slapper look good by tipping it in to start the scoring. Hope some of that grittership rubbed off or something. It's impossible to gain any ground right now in the Metro for us. 3 games left vs. the Rags though might be...

Bobby Lu hit in head with a puck, and Montoya dinged up in net for Florida. Panthers goalie coach Robb Tallas is dressed in goalie gear on the bench in case Montoya can't finish the game (although he just gave up a goal to put Leafs up 3-2). Meanwhile Columbus gooned it up hard to make a...

Similar caliber maybe...but he missed all of last year after tearing his ACL.

Holy shit. Pretty big gamble there. I still think he has a couple good seasons left in him.

This would be one year I'd actually expect Price to garner legit Hart consideration (and I only say legit because normally it seems like goalies get labeled as already having their own trophy in recent years). Fleury and Holtby are like mirror images with their stats this year. Gleason...

Damn Grimm, I'd love to beat the drum for Fleury/Holtby for Vezina, but it's unreal the season Price is having (not to mention Rinne). Rinne only missed out on shutout list by 1 (Price respectable right below Fleury/Holtby...also the only category he isn't leading). Only other guy besides...

Voracek, Ovechkin, Tavares, Backstrom, Crosby, and Malkin all within 1 point of Art Ross lead. Pretty crowded at the top with some good company up there. (Patrick Kane tied with Crosby and Malkin with 64 points but obviously he'll get passed up as season finishes up)

Gleason and Glencross for Hillen and 2nd/3rd/4th rounders in this year's draft. Not a fan of giving up that many picks this year (although we have an extra 3rd from Buffalo, not sure if Glencross deal involved our 3rd or Buffalo's) to essentially marginally upgrade out 6D spot and get a "Top...

Caps in freefall now. Looked like shit tonight. Rumors though about talks with Chicago for Patrick Sharp. Names on our end that have come up were Marcus Johannson or Joel Ward. Not sure how that will work with the salary cap though since Sharp makes more than either of those guys, although...

I was...expecting more.

Yeah this is how it looked to me, although after reading black/blue the white started to look more blue to me

Somehow after 17 minor penalties in the first 2 periods only Fleury managed to get one in the 3rd. Weird game, you guys deserved it tonight. Favorite part of the game was Eddie O trying to convince people Ward kneed Fleury in the head.

I undersold that...8 PP's total awarded in the 2nd period. I thought refs would be warming up for the playoffs by now. Not to much tonight. Weak calls both ways in that period.

Yup.

Heard Sill going the other way was part of the salary cap concern as well (along with Toronto taking on part of the salary). Didn't take advantage of those power plays. I know they had been on ice a lot but was great to see them pull Ovechkin off for last half of that 3rd PP so Niskanen...

Agent and Sith Warrior were the better 2 stories Imp side. Although I didn't mind Inquis or BH stories they just weren't as solid at all.

See you guys got Winnik, Grimm. I think you guys don't have any picks in first 4 rounds this year...supposed to be a decent draft at least. Don't mind Sill being out of our division.

Or...not

Bit of a lifeline for Arsenal there. Wonder if they have more magic left in them.

To be fair, Aaron Rodgers didn't stop them from going back this year, more MM. Also while I agree Flacco is overpaid and for most of the season the Ravens didn't look like a contender, in the playoffs they beat what had been a red hot Steelers team in Pittsburgh, and had 2 separate 14 point...

Baltimore Ravens cut former Super Bowl hero Jacoby Jones - ESPN Sad day for some of my Baltimore bros

National Hockey League Playoff Chances - Sports Club Stats Top 7 in the East at 99.7% chance to make playoffs or higher. Last Wild Card still in play but the rest are in my definition of locked up.

The problem is how consistent they are about calling PI. If we start putting it up for review, they're going to find all kinds of contact that (by the rulebook at least) technically should get flagged. That said, at times (mostly playoffs) they do a better job being consistent throughout a...

I feel like if we made a rerolled dating website...Furry and Dumar would get matched up instantly. We wouldn't even need to ask why or how.

Would just be weirdly out of character, but hey it's possible. Either way she chose to settle with him (twice I believe since he "violated" original agreement by talking to ESPN about it at one point), so it's done and over with at this point.

I'd probably bet a lot on the teams in 1-7 in the East being the same 1-7 at the end of the year. What order exactly, who know? But I don't see anyone from below 7 moving up into the top 7 unless a pretty big collapse happens. 9 or 10 points is hard to make up in 20-23 games.
