When are we going to stop being haters and give Erik Karlsson the Hart trophy? He clearly deserves it. I mean the daily main board Karlsson circle jerk thread told me so it must be true.
I can't even deal with that thread. I feel like I need to take a shower after skimming through it.
 
Didn't know a good place to put this.

I have heard Ryan Whitney talk about his Russian experience before but for those of you who maybe have not heard the stories, have a read.

Really don't get the complaining from this guy. All these former authoritarian communist regime countries are filled with lazy, rude, uneducated people, but this guys has millions of dollars. He didn't have to be in a hospital with a bunch of smokers. He could come down to the hospital I work at right now and enjoy free valet parking and rooms like 5 star hotels. He could skate at a nice rink in California playing in the ECHL or AHL. He could have even just retired and worked for the NHL as a staff member. Cool story but also kind of pathetic.
 
Are we talking about the same Doughty that, during his second year in the league, played top pairing minutes on Team Canada en route to Gold? Or is it the Doughty that four years later led all of Team Canada in goals and points en route to another Gold?

I didn't think it was complaining at all..more of just how it is for those who do not know.
I think he was grateful for the experience
 
Kevin O'Leary = Michel Therrien

take a shot every time Karlsson isn't covering anyone at all/is lackadaisical on D or makes an ill-advised pinch.

JK everyone be safe out there, cannot advise the above
 
NBCSN: Is Calgary a legit team to make a run at the Cup this year?
Jones:Yes they are. I picked them this season with their excellent defense...

::facepalm::
 
Wonder where the Ducks would be without their surprisingly amazing PK? I guess it's a lot like asking where they would be without John Gibson or Perry's goals. Disgusting embellishment by Zack Smith if Hayward's commentary and the camera angle can be trusted (big if, I know)

Wow a Karlsson on the PK sighting! The world is ending tomorrow! Aaaaand Wiffs on a clearing attempt.
 
Getzlaf gets an assist on an Ottawa goal, perfect pass on the tape to Curtis Lazar for a breakaway.
 
Boudreau actually benched Getzlaf. Never thought I'd see the day.

Bruce Boudreau has a weird sense of accountability. Getzlaf and other veterans have cost this team 10 games with stupid blunders like that with no negative consequences but if a younger player did that even once he'd banish them to the press box for 10 games.

I remember how pissed Boudreau was with Getzlaf after that drop pass to Edmonton in overtime, calling him out on the postgame.

So this actually doesn't surprise me. Feel bad for Getzlaf on some level...still, he's got to be aware out there on the ice, just absolutely inexcusable to do that.
