but yes. he has to be. but dont tell people that. hes actually just not a very good playoff performer, or actually a good hockey player in general.

The suck it was meant for the grammar police. We had a debate about the word literally. It was literally the worst debate in here.

Crosby isn't hurt. He just isn't trying hard enough

Hey, I think the kid is awesome, you have a different opinion.

Let's just leave it at that.

- Tomahawk


I don't know about awesome. But he deserves a shot at a roster spot this summer. He's not very good in the d zone and at times looked timid. But he's still young

I'm way more excited about raffl and his skillset

If Raffl could add some finish to his game, which I think, or hope that he can. He'll be a pretty good player.

Nah. Giroux does a ton for this team that Kane wouldn't be able to

Better then Striet at getting the shot through? I would disagree.
- MJL



27% of Kimmo's shot-attemps were blocked versus 35% for Streit:

As you can see on the right-side, Streit took predominantly slappers all year long -- probably the reason for the higher % of blocks.

I don't like when guys do that, that means someone else busts his a$$ for 1/2 a year, & then goes out of the lineup t make room for the "purposely rested guy".
I understand keeping Kimmo fresh would benefit us, but I don't think he's that type of guy. If anything, he would be perfectly slotted in the #5 or 6 spot, with lesser minutes, depending on who we could acquire.

- puckhead17

It'd be great to see him in the #5 spot getting 9mins. plus time on the point. with those minutes and a steady #6, would be a great 3rd pairing!

Bruins score 4 goals in the last 8 minutes with the season on the line. How can they pull off such a feat? They don't have 7 20 goals scorers on their team.

It looked like someone was skipping stones on the pond on that 3rd goal. Price had no chance.

Yes sir! I'll be in and out between here and Philly- most of my college friends are sticking around for their summer Gross Anatomy class. I have a lot of Physical Therapy friends.

Gonna try to hop on a train a few times and head over to the apt for some beers, hopefully the draft, the Cadaver Lab, and the ladyfriend

Working a lot though. Wowzers. I have to do a 120 hour rotation this week at a community pharmacy- I'm starting that next week. 2 48 hour work weeks in a row. AND I DON'T GET PAID

How much do you guys think a ticket to the draft will cost? That'd be really, really cool. I looked on stubhub just now and it looks like they're not available for purchase yet

Doubtful I will remember, but I will try even though I am not a STH, just know somebody who is & will go with them.
