I could take a dump on a cats head and get 7 selke votes... But i'm just not into that kind of weirdness.

You can get a good look at the selke by sticking your head up ROR's ass, but wouldn't you rather take the voting committee's word for it?

Did you WATCH the Vancouver Olympics?

Too soon?

I'd pick Heiskanen or Provorov over Dahlin. He's not even in my top 10.
- TheSabresTaco

That’s like taking Eichel over McDavid..... Both solid options but no sir you are wrong.

Jochen got 9 selke votes that year
- jcragcrumple

So by Gerbe math he almost won it?

I kid

Nope - pros vs pros vs college amateurs vs the evil empire. Not even close, miracle on ice is once a century type thing, US pros beating Canadian pros is great but not epic
- turbo044

but the younger generation never got to see miracle


other then the movie


I agree nothing will compare to what they did, but with the internet and all the sports channels 24/7 Miller would have been the poster boy for american athletes for a few minutes

"Basically"

Yep it looked like he was playing to maker sure he was the starter for the Olympic team, Olympics came, then he fizzled out.

after the olympics, he went away almost as quick as ek's olympic presser blog

The '09-10 Sabres had better depth down the middle:

Roy: 69p
Connolly: 65
Hecht: 42
Goose: 22

Only 4 20 goal scorers, which might get beat this year

This team obviously has more firepower at the top

Top-4 is an unknown. Should be better, but that team had solid vets. Lydman, Tallinder, Montador, Rivet and the wild card Myers

That was a bubble team. Edit: 100 points. Didn't remember they were that good
- jcragcrumple

miller won the Vezina that year...lindy had them playing a good, tight, defensively sound system with balanced, albeit mediocre, scoring and 48 points from the Calder Trophy winner...

that was the year vanek was taken down in the playoffs against boston...which sealed their fate

Odd he’s not a small man

It disappeared like Natalee..........

oh my


I might be going there in 17 months

I will spend a few minutes searching for her


still shocked that guy was able to blog as long as he did, esp with nhl gm's and agents on this site daily, at the time

3 thing I want to find on the internet

1. miller's presser when he cried after the red wing game
2. brian blessing laughing at robie's perm
3. brinson's wrestling match/rug falling off

4. The time Robie punched the desk and broke it because a caller called he and Blessing a couple of fags for both wearing pink

rask and satan had a say for the bruins


satan had 5 goals and 5 assists in 13 playoff games that season, and never sniffed the nhl again

Yup, we're still looking for that. It's too easy with one good line.

Lydman and Tallinder is still the best d pair we've had since.

On paper, the '09-10 team looks better than this year imo. Goose was a solid defensive forward who could actually chip in. Same with Grier. I know I'm the Larry hater guy, but he is not on the same level as Goose. Okposo wears an "A" and he is 1/10th the leader of Grier

(frank)ing Julien calling the vanek situation a "hockey play" is etched in my memory

I think the caller said “How can we take anything you two say seriously looking like a couple of fag-gots”.

Robie goes ballistic punches the table.

Rants something to the effect or “this why we can’t do live fvcking tv”
