sweep the leg

Imagine what Laine could do on a line with Stempniak! Make it happen Chevy, you can't mess up on him twice.

None of them winning would be a robbery imo. They all had very good seasons. I'll be very interested to see how Gostisbehere does next season. I'm not sure I buy that he's really this good.

Hopefully we sign Stempniak this summer and reverse the mistake we made last year.

Exactly. They can be honoured while keeping the number in circulation.

McDavid would be my choice. He was the best rookie on the league, but the amount of time he missed will probably cost him the award. My ranking is McDavid, Gostisbehere, Panarin, but my guess is Panarin wins.

Such a stupid argument. Saw a stat from a Pittsburgh reporter that said there's a total of one game missed for suspensions from shots at Crosby. There have been some blatant cheap shots on him go unpunished, like Downie's slewfoot and Staal's crosscheck to the back of his head. Just in this series there was a brutal knee to Sheary that went unpunished. I'd give Letang one game for his hit last night. Not nearly as late as Orpik's, imo not as blatant of an attempt to catch his head, and there was no injury (which is stupid to consider but is NHL criteria).

There's a guy on riderfans arguing that this is unfair to the Riders b/c those eight extra players who get drafted by other teams would have likely preferred to be Riders, but now they've had that chance taken away. He's being serious too...

They want a dman back.

Lol. It's ok to admit you underestimated Stempniak. 10 points in 19 games with barely a sniff of the pp. This season he outscored, among others, Hartnell, Marleau, Iginla, Ladd, & Zetterberg. All guys who play big pp minutes. He's half-man, half-amazing.

Couple of weak goals on Murray last night. Also a brutal play by Daley at the blueline which led to the ot goal. Good game overall though. Wilson should get a game for that knee on Sheary.

It'll be weird seeing any of the Preds, Blues, or Sharks in the conference finals. All are perennial playoff underachievers.

So you're saying more is expected from guys with bigger contracts? Thanks for clearing that up.

Isles hit the lottery by falling out of the Metro division into a wild card spot. Pens would have crushed them in round 1.

I like the big school guys. Excited to see what Hubbard's all about.

It shows you need to live up to that big contract if you want to keep it.

Hahaha...top shelf political humour gentlemen. Zach Anderson is in Ticats minicamp.

That would-be coalition shouldn't have been causing deficits for their majority Government years later.

Oh boy. I have no intention in weighing in on whether you are or aren't homophobic, but this is the worst defense against it.

Sam Adams Summer Ale is back on the shelves. It's a delicious summer beer for those of you who like wheat beers.

Roosevelt will likely start for them.

A reporter said that? Case closed.

You said Holm was vastly outclassed in her last two bouts, which was clearly untrue. Rousey's game is to charge her opponents and overwhelm them, which is why most of her fights are over so fast. Holm's footwork was way too good for that to work. The best example was Rousey falling on her face after Holm sidestepped her.

Are you calling Patrick Sharp a tough grinder, or am I reading this wrong?

Holm has never been dominated. Her second last fight was when she dominated Rousey. She was also winning her fight against Tate going into the 5th. Diaz & McGregor went to the ground because McGregor took him down. It was a desperation move bc he got hurt standing.
