Nope. NHL offciating is just bad. Justin St. Pierre (shocking) and Tim Peel missed Anton Khudobin throwing his stick to make a save... on a penalty shot.



Edit: The best is St. Pierre just shakes his head like the god damn neanderthal that he is when Green knows Khudobin threw the stick.

''He's got all the potential,'' Nedved said. ''We'll see how quickly he adjusts.'
Didn't know we lost Sunny to pick Brendl.

Mike York, Fleury, Nedved...that article brings back some memories.

So many likeable guys from that era that never could put it together. There is a bright side to that trade, if we never trade Cloutier, we may never had picked Hank since there would be no organizational need. At the very least, Hank might have been blocked if Dan preformed like he did for awhile in the early 2000s. Of course it might have saved us from wasting picks on Blackburn and Montoya, so two sides to that argument.

I'm debating on whether to incur my old economics professor's method of picking the bracket. When I was in college, he told us that every year he would enter in the bracket and every year he'd do well. His rationale was the experts were always better in picking the results than the average person, so he would just pick chalk the entire bracket. He claimed to have actually won one year and pissed off all the students. Of course with all the upsets in recent years that strategy probably isn't so hot anymore.

My flaw is I'll go 14 or 15 out of 16 on Thursday and totally get wrecked on Friday, almost without fail.

Good point. Also, if Weekes hadn't been injured, Hank might not have had the shot to be a starter.
Can't remember which goalie had to retire from nerve damage, Cloutier or Blackburn?

lol Mike Dunham. The only thing I remember about him other than him being a bad Rangers goalie, is in one of the early 2000s NHL games, he'd become like a 98 rating after a few seasons.

Had to post Cloutier's finest moment in Blue. Sure wasn't the goaltending in that game.

I like how no one even attempted to break that up. Isles really loved their goalie eh?

He has 20 goals. It's kinda crazy how good he's been considering that hartford is tire fire. Rangers are probably gonna lose him to UFA this summer.

Blackhawks and Cancuks both get 1 point.
