sweep the leg

Trouba has too much confidence in himself. Tries to stick handle out of situations he shouldn't and gets himself in trouble. I thought he was better last year than he is now. Enstrom played the puck on the 3rd goal like it was a live hand grenade. Stick it between your legs or just lay down on it. Anything but just flipping it away from yourself to the other team. Panic move from a veteran player.

I think they'll have blown their load, so to speak, with this big run in the regular season. I don't think they'll have another gear to go to in the playoffs.

What do you mean "their" point? When did I say that?

Minny doesn't get out of the 1st round. You heard it here first...

I don't understand whey Stuart and Chiarot would be an awful third pairing.That's a better 3rd pairing than a lot of other teams have to offer. As for trading Stuart, I'd be marching to the MTS Centre with my pitchfork and torch if they did that. Love Stu...

It's a pretty natural reaction to look at the dman if a puck just bounced off of him and into the net. I don't really have a problem with it. It would be a different story if he started yelling at him.

The extra point rule is terrible. If they want change, just get rid of it completely. Make a td worth 7 points. Nobody ever misses it anyways and it would trim time off of the games. This entire set of changes reeks of trying too hard.

NFL dbs don't have to deal with the waggle.

Why stop at just these rules? Why not make the dbs run backwards at all times? Maybe let each team carry a bear on their roster?

You gotta think Copp is penciled in as our 4th line centre next season. There's a lot of bad 4th line centres in the league, so I think he'll find a job somewhere. FOWs and decent penalty killing will keep you in the league for a long time.

Remember how funny that Ric Nattress video was when Messier elbowed him in the face and he wobbled back to the bench? Old highlight videos would show that with clown music playing in the background and the announcer laughing about it. How times have changed...

Have you considered that concussions weren't a big deal 20 years ago b/c they didn't know the risks?

That's not a good comparison. Faceoff wins give you possession of the puck, which is a pretty important thing to have when playing hockey. There are several guys who have made a career out of being good in the faceoff circle.

"Suns out Guns Out" for this guy. No upper body wear of any kind on vacation.

"All this isn't to say the Bombers don't want Willy back, because they do -- especially as rumblings grow louder Robert Marve, his promising understudy, is interested in chasing his NFL dream after his contract runs out following this season."

That wasn't a game we should have won. View it from the Canucks pov and they'd have been extremely upset if they lost to a team in our situation.

I hope they don't even consider play Ehlers on the 4th line next year. If he can't crack the top 9 send him back.

I'm a fan of Peluso, but was a little disappointed in how his season went. He doesn't seem to have much hockey sense. Bad penalties and a lack of awareness defensively seem to have cost him the trust of his coach.

Thorburn is a fantastic 4th liner. We have somebody who can play the enforcer role while still playing decent hockey. We would have no problem trading him if we chose to do so. I really doubt Chevy has any interest in doing that though.

Hutchinson confirmed for tonight.

I'd love to see one of the owners refuse to sign off on him coming back. Good player, but I've never liked him.

That is an interesting stat. Our remaining games are pretty brutal. Five wins doesn't seem like a gimme.

I wouldn't say anything about tomorrow's starter until we see how Pavelec does tonight. If he's bombarded with 40 shots, or stinks the joint out, play Hutchinson. If it's an easy night and he does well, put him back in.

Goalie's rants are always entertaining.

Yeah right. Erik Karlsson won the Norris in 2012, and he was a train wreck defensively. Mike Green has been nominated for it, and he's even worse defensively.
