Imo the ducks arent given any credit for their performance so far, its being overshadowed by Chicagos. 1 gm less played and the only difference is in 1 W and 2 regulation losses for Ducks vs 2 OT losses for Chicago.

The difference is Anaheim is 4-1 in shootouts. and chicago is 2-3 with a 13-0-3 record meaning that they haven't been bested in the actual game of hockey in any form except for the skills competition.
Ducks are getting credit but Chicago is deservedly making the headlines.

"What are the chances that DiPietro trips over the waiver wire and injures himself again?"
From Deadspin comment, I take no credit but I did to a spit take when I read it.

I hope for their sake Wang actually uses the compliance buyout, instead of just doing a normal buyout and having him on the cap for twenty years to hit the floor.
Interesting how people said DiPietro looked despondent on the bench last night. Maybe he knew that start was 'it' for him on Long Island.

He looked like he was crying on the bench in Ottawa the other night. After they pulled him for the extra attacker. He gave up a crap rebound too that caused that goal.
It's hard to tell behind the mask though if he was really crying or not. Maybe not actually crying, but he definitely looked very distraught and emotional behind that mask.
that's awesomeThis isn't that far off from what happens in real life with Datsyuk.
if Wang is really looking to sell you'd think it would hurt the value of the team if they use the normal buy-out... I mean 20 ****ing years of dead cap space
personally I don't think Wang will ever sell, he's just too greedy, he'll never get the offer he wants

I do think it's a possibility Wang sells now that the team's tethered to Long Island (though they are moving from Nassau to Brooklyn) and has some re-sale value. He only hung in there for that long losing millions cause he's a local guy and didn't want to see the team move off of Long Island.

This sounds familiar
Also here is Bryz's thoughts on the Russian Meter "Probably every day, our atmosphere was penetrated with the smaller size of the meteors, and (they) just burned high in the atmosphere. This is a much bigger size, but that big that struck the earth like … back in the days, like when the dinosaurs was destroyed. On one thing it's very interesting. On the other hand, it's dangerous. And you know we can't protect ourselves from the space danger.
I think we've gotta like be thankful, and be happy, and enjoy every day our life with our relatives, our wives, kids, and enjoy our work every day."

Haha I'm assuming you made this? If you did it might be better than my Tallinder mockery of the all in the family theme song!

They should do the compliance buyout in the summer but I don't think the Islanders would be able afford that.
Snow should do a lopsided trade sending DiPietro with a young player like Niederreiter and a draft pick to a deep pocketed team that isn't planning on using their buyout. Then the receiving team will buy out DiPietro and get an asset and a pick for the money.

Oh no, this a real Bryz quote. Mr. Humongous Universe NEVER fails to disappoint.

We're still 7 points ahead of 9th though. We just can't afford to piss points away to garbage teams like Winnipeg. Or Washington either with the way their season is going.

Cooke will never get the benefit of the doubt in situations like this and he has nobody to blame but himself for that. He never really made any effort to change like he always said he would and now another talented player has been severely hurt because of his carelessness.
I really hope Karlsson makes as quick and full recovery as possible. Come back even better than you were before and make the Pens regret having Cooke on their squad, Karlsson.
True, but I want to set my expectations a little higher than just making the playoffs this year. The team totally proved me wrong last year about what they could accomplish, and they've even shown this year that they can succeed without Parise. Gotta go for a Cup before Marty retires.
Good. It's not a real apology, I totally agree. Cook was a major dbag, and even though he has cleaned up a bit, he will always be looked at like that. It was a careless play, whether intentional or not. I don't blame Karlsson one bit.
