OFFICIAL HOCKEY THREAD: NHL, KHL, NCAA, IIHL

I agree.

Pens didn't miss a beat when he was out with the broken jaw.

Ovechkin has my vote because he put the team on his back (doe) and got them to the playoffs.

Same argument with Bron going on in the basketball thread. Heat would still roll the east without him, so is he that valuable? I wouldn't be surprised by the winner either way and see both arguments

I'm pretty consistent with how I would vote on it across sports. Same in football. What player would cause their team to totally fall off without them. But I understand how some people feel it should just be best player overall, although doesn't the most outstanding player award (Lindsay) cover that one in hockey?

Kerry Fraser on the penalty to Sedin during OT.

 

[Bad Religion]

Well now that Kerry Fraser has spoken on the matter, I feel completely and utterly convinced it was the right call in overtime in an elimination game. Thank you.

 

[boris]

You are welcome.

sarcasm?

 

[Bad Religion]

Noooo.....

Like I said, itsone of those 50/50 calls that seemed to be called at inopportune times.

I dont see Kerry Fraser commenting on the Bieksa penalty that tied it up.

 

[DeadsetAce]

Gotcha

 

[DeadsetAce]

let's ******g go...send the leafs home and get some rest before round 2

 

[theenorthstar]

Boychuk looked like he was about to die after blocking that shot.

Idk why that face was so funny.

 

[DeadsetAce]

Boychuk is like our whipping boy...blocks so many shots. He must be black and blue all over under those pads

What a pace to start

 

[theenorthstar]

Fantastic start, Blueshirts!

 

[DeadsetAce]

tuukka rask keeping us in the game so far. we need to pick it the hell up. can't have another period like that. cannot have it.

 

[duba169]

JJ's favorite ranger scores

 

[DeadsetAce]

i had to ******g praise andy ference the other day...c'mon dude

we're making reimer look awesome.

 

[duba169]

Can't take dumb penalties like that

 

[theenorthstar]

Rangers need to make a play!

 

[duba169]

It's feeling like one of those games where the rangers could play 6 periods and not score

 

[DeadsetAce]

talk about not being able to buy a goal

 

[duba169]

Rangers have 1 shot I'm the third. Yikes

DSA: I caved and met this chick at the bar.

Too many tequila shots in. Not even paying attention to the hockey games.

 

[jrp44]

Rangers look flat out there the last 2 periods.. Going to need a lucky break to get the W tonight

 

[duba169]

Multiple chances and shooting 6 feet wide isn't gonna work. Henrik gotta score too? Jeez
