NHL '11 - '12 Thread

[Bruins Fan]

The B's are in a malaise,no compete,mistakes all over the place especially in the back end,Thomas has not looked good.
On the bright side Marchands suspension in over that should infuse some energy and unscramble three lines.
I'm still looking for a trade got to upgrade the D.

Unless of course Matt Cooke falls off the wagon and gives everyone a reason to talk about something OTHER than those 2 teams...

Go Blackhawks!!!!!!!!

...and the Wild got OWNED again last night. I suoppose it would be nice if they could actually keep people healthy. Maybe then they could field a competitive team again.

Koivu is out, right?

Hawks play the Sabres tonight, I am guessing Buffalo will start Enroth as Ryan Miller looks like his days are numbered. If he didn't have such a huge contract, I am guessing the Sabres would move him before the deadline.

Yup. He's out. Last I heard, it was supposed to be a month or more.

Bouchard and Latendresse are still out, as well, and they've been playing musical goalies with injuries and other things that Backstrom and Harding have been dealing with, and there have been several other players in and out of the lineup that have been expected to contribute heavily this year.

The Wild rode the percentages for a while (as well as crazy good goaltending) and it was a matter of time before they came back down to earth. Injuries are hurting them for sure but they are barely a 8-10th place team in the Western Con. in the best of times.

Appears to be a frustrated, unmotivated young man lately.

Word is he is on the block...tell you what, I wouldn't want him on the Hawks...great skills, but attitude sucks when things don't go his way.

Jonathan Toews second in the NHL in goals.

Young guns tearing it up, Andrew Shaw has 5 goalsd in 8 games, and Jimmy Hayes has 4 goals and 3 assists in 9 games...and these kids are scoring big goals, not 6th goals in 6-0 games.

Hawks tied with the Rangers for 1st overall in the NHL....at least 'til tomorrow.

Shaw has been on a tear the past few games. Good interview on NHL network.

Two lackluster games so far this week by the Bruins.
They got Lucky (thanks to Rask) against the Panthers.
And They showed up for about 10 min against the Lightning.
Timmy, looks a little slow and seems to be playing back in the net lately,
I noticed it in the beginning of the year, but the whole team played like crap so it didn't really matter.
Historically, January has been a tough month for the B's. But it's time to get back on track The Devils tonight and a big game on Saturday against the Rangers.
Time to take Back First

On the Timmy comment, don't get me wrong I would take him in a seven game series over any other goalie in the League.

i just think Rask should get and deserves a few extra starts in the next couple of weeks.

Don't forget two years ago Thomas was on the trading block.
Tuukka is so smooth and quick,a couple bad games at the beginning of last season and it was back to Timmy, I guess it was kama.
I like Rask better then Thomas,I forget the stat but Thomas has given up 17 goals compared to 6 for Rask in their last seven games.

Tuukka is playing really well right now he had three shutouts in 4 games through Christmas and the two weeks into the new year.
If they don't trade Tuukka then he is the goalie for this team in the future.

Looks like the Astronaut in the Gallery of Humans in the original "Planet of the Apes".

Wings and Blues both win, drop the Hawks to 3rd in the Central in one fell swoop. A Hawks win Vs. the Panthers tomorrow would vault them right back into 1st. Crazy division!
