Fun fact for ya: Rick Nash has yet to get a hat trick with the rangers

I remember somebody comparing Fast to Nyquist. I doubt Fast ever has this type of stretch, but why can't he get a chance? How is Carcillo ever a better option?

I'm going to guess it's because Carcillo is more proven and would hopefully not make the type of rookie mistakes that Fast would be more prone to make.

And that Fast's development would be better served played major minutes in the AHL than 4th line minutes in the NHL.

Edit: I'm really hoping Fast can get his skating back to what it was before he broke his leg. Ola keeps saying it just isn't the same.

So? Shane Doan didn't have his first career hat trick until a couple of seasons ago. Hat tricks are largely meaningless.

Well that's upsetting.

The only meaningfull hattricks are when your defense is poor. I rather have a player scoring 3 GWG's instead of a hattrick.

 

[Emptyvoid]

Well that's upsetting.

Which part? The logic behind starting Carcillo over Fast or the fact that Fast's skating isn't where it was before he broke his leg?

Shane Doan isn't a goal scorer

Oh, you mean McGod?

The latter.

 

[Emptyvoid]

The latter.

Yea it's a bummer.

I don't know enough of those kinds of injuries to speculate if Fast will ever regain full skating power. Anyone with more knowledge on the matter know if it's possible?

Hat tricks don't mean much, a lot of it is luck. It's just a good night. I'd rather have a stretch like Nash had after being named to the Olympics than a hat trick and then 5 scoreless game.

 

[Jabroni]

Brad Richards had his first hat trick of his career last year.

 

[KingP]

Lgr!

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

The forwards better be backchecking tonight.. I thought that's why we weren't good in our end against the flames

 

[AHB*]

But, he's not a GOALLLLLLLLLLLL SCORER!!!!!hmph

 

[justanomade]

Whats up in the US today? Are people optimisticly pessimistic, as always?

LGR!

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

When was the last time Talbot played? Against who?

 

[dmjt4160]

McD, how do you forget her name!? turrible

 

[AHB*]

We all have to be back at work in a few hours

 

[Flavius]

What is this awful "To The Point" segment? Has this been going on all season? I never watch pregame shows ever so I wouldn't know.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

AHB, there are a lot of teenagers on this board, so not all.

 

[dmjt4160]

Ill take this over listening/watching to our normal crew flap away

 

[SnowblindNYR]

There's some weird glitch on this site, you can't quote people and the last poster is outdated.
