I bet Boston fans remember Joel Ward.

He's tied for 12th right now, and was tied for 11th when I originally posted.

Forgetting about the Caps? Ovechkin and Backstrom?

Was how we felt to a lesser degree last season with Mike Green getting hurt like Mike Green usually does and Backstrom being out with the concussion for 40 games. Not the same caliber as Sid and Geno, same idea. What is Neal's status right now btw? I know Letang came back.

Really hard to tell in a season where teams only play within their conferences too. I would say that the bottom level goaltending int he East is worse overall than out West, which may affect goal totals. On the other hand, I don't think you'd hear much argument from West teams about who are...

I wonder how much the voting will be affected by whether or not Columbus makes the playoffs or not.

I'm torn on it Grimm...I hate too much of a good thing, but I understand what you're saying about needing to shine a positive light on the league again. Meanwhile, the Caps continue to win. Although so does Winnipeg. Magic number is 7 with us up 4 points with 5 games left for both of us...

Which is basically what all of us were pointing out when you were on the "can't beat the Blackhawks" kick. It could happen, they're still stacked...but there are a couple teams out West that could give them trouble. Kings obviously, I'm not completely sold on the Ducks though.

Feels like a lot of other people also had the benefit of marathons/netflix/on demand to watch most of the first 2 seasons in a short amount of time, and now getting less than an hour a week just leaves us wanting more.

The guys who are good at it are awesome. I always think teams overlook the slap pass for a redirect just off to the side of the goalie the way most challenge the shooter.

All the bubble teams seemed to win tonight, well besides Tampa and Buffalo, although their bubble status was debatable.

I'm okay with that. Justice served.

Well if he's getting a phone hearing, I have a hard time believing Shanny came out last night and said it wasn't suspendable.

Wonder if that means he'll make a video on why it wasn't a suspendable offense.

Hmm yes on that vid he does seem to turn to see Marchand coming...and Shanny already said no suspension? I feel like the job is overwhelming him these days.

N/m found it on espn.com. If Shanny said non-suspendable is he thinking about a fine at least? I didn't think you could throw forearms/elbows to the head like that. Now I'm not sure how much intent there was with the puck coming around that might have been an uncoordinated attempt to smother...

Was out tonight, is there video?

Well you said correct you...Eli said that after he had already won his 2nd Super Bowl. As for Flacco, I don't think Kolb has been to a Conference Championship game prior to making a statement like that or set any records for winning a playoff game every year of his career.

Even if realignment had already happened this year you would have clinched...pretty crazy. Amazingly enough 2nd place would be...the Capitals.

Ovechkin with another goal, league leading 26th. Caps win 5th in a row...at Montreal no less. Jets won as well though, as did the Isles. Ottawa lost though.

Isn't there a happy medium? Something along the lines of "I'm here to do the best I can at making this team better". Even Bills fans probably laughed at the Super Bowl comment.

Surprised no one mentioned Kolb's quote about joining the Bills. "I'm here to win a Super Bowl." Although it is almost just too sad to really talk about.

I assume there is more to his story, but as McC notes, perhaps he just feels the Targs are the rightful rulers. I completely understand your point about the commoners though, as much of a dick as Tywin is, he IS a leader who gets shit done. Some people even loved him to the point they wished...

He can if the entire point IS for it to go to shit under Cersei because it'll allow the Targs to come back and take over more easily. Tywin or Kevan being around wouldn't leave the 7 Kingdoms destabilized enough to ensure that could happen.

I know, I know...the spread is 6 points right now. I don't think we're nearly as good as the other top teams in the East this year, but I do think if we had a real training camp and preseason for Oates to install his system instead of the bullshit 1 week we got we wouldn't have started so slow...

If they go 9 points better over the final 9 games than we do, I have doubts we'd end up the 3 seed. But your point is noted Grimm...of course we are 8-1-1 in our last 10. If he had a regular season with an actual training camp and preseason I feel we'd be a much better team from the start. Is...

I'm happy for you Leafs fans, be curious to see which seed you end up in.

It's interesting looking back at the hits and misses at wideout in the 1st round. Looking through the draft I guess you're sort of right although it varies from year to year a lot more now it seems like. In the last 8 years ('05-'12) you had 2 or less WR taken in the 1st round 3 times, but to...

Wideouts and running backs seem to be slipping every year lately, aside from the true studs.

Hahahah Peters out after 2 goals on something like only 4 or 5 shots in the first 8 minutes. Love it.

Bruins and Canes on NHL Network...can't say I'm happy I have to listen to Jack Edwards tonight, but for tonight at least go Bruins.

We could just make it easy and say when Dez is playing well and engaged, he has the potential to be a top 5 WR in the league.

Winnipeg has a pretty easy schedule down the stretch, although Buffalo twice might not be as easy as it sounds they've been playing better of late I think. If Caps do make it in, going to be tough to stack up against any of the other playoff teams if we don't stop having a forward go down every...

Didn't like how by the end of the fight Brienne was just shitting on Jaime. I don't recall exactly how it was written in the book but I remember Brienne's thoughts after the fact being how tough Jaime was even in irons and having been half starved from captivity for however long. I never...

After the hole they dug themselves early, I wasn't expecting playoffs at all, thought we should tank for a draft pick. But Florida kept winning and teams ahead of us kept losing, it kept options open. Really I just wanted to see Oates use the rest of the season to implement his system and have...

And just like that...Ovechkin tied for league lead in goals. Pretty much down to just us and Winnipeg for the Southeast at this point. Not sure which asshole on the Tampa bench put his stick over wall to try to stop Ovechkin from the game sealing goal but something should happen to that guy...

Kiper's latest mock had top 6 OL guys all going before Dallas picks (18th). He had them taking a DT at 18, and OL at 47 in the 2nd round.

I'm right where you are with Ovechkin with regards to Crosby. Ovechkin still isn't where he was, but Oates has helped him make some changes to his game (and the move to right wing has helps, as has the new power play). There's still some underlying stuff that makes me wonder if it's...

Ovechkin with another hat trick. Good thing since we put it on cruise control the entire 3rd period and a 4-0 game ended up a 4-3 win. Whatever though, feast on our shitty division. Crazy that after Ovechkin's really slow first 10 games, he's got 21 goals in his last 28 games, or an 82 game...

Read a quote he had after the game talking about how when he was 25 he would have hated to score a goal like the one last night, but now he'll take them any way they come.
