Commentator's a dumb fuck. You can see the busted piece hanging off his helmet and the bigger part land in front of Beagle.

Didn't Yzerman make visors mandatory for the TB players after seeing Malhotra's incident?

damn 7 games left to play, playoff just around the corner :)

Interesting tweet from Blue Line Sports at Lougheed Mall:

@BlueLineSports_: Are you ready for the playoffs? #Canucks car flags now available. http://t.co/jG5TNbwvLN

Are you getting one of these car flags for your car?

Bieska and Lulongo are my two favourite Canucks... followed by the Sundin twins! (that's a Bob Cole reference for ya)

Luongo starts Monday
awww yeaaa

Peculiar tweet by Booth yesterday. I guess he figures he'll be bought out, but I feel like you shouldn't go out and publicly admit it (sort of) mid season haha.

He at least means well

not sure if repost

Actions speak louder than words.

Don't think you need to read too much into that response. Its not like he came out and said "which charity should I donate my buyout money to?"

What if his reply was "going to learn how to hunt bears without luring them"

doesn't sound interesting at all...

lol that dude probably works there

Yeah...this was probably as interesting as a Flames game.

Which team gets the last playoff spot in the west? Clutch game by Detroit today. The Red Wings play Nashville one more time on April 25th at home. That is gonna be a heck of a game.

I say Detroit is the eighth seeded team in the west when the playoffs start.

I hope CBJ gets that 8th seed, but it will probably be Detroit.

If Detroit gets the last playoff spot in the West, a playoff series between Chicago and Detroit would be a TV ratings booster for the networks. Two original six teams playing each other would be fun to watch.

-hoping a Blackhawks player gets Kronwalled in the playoffs.

^Bolland pls

I hope Detroit gets 7th, plays Anaheim first round, and I can go watch while I'm in LA. :thumbs:

I hope CBJ makes it in, and NYR fall out. I love Nash as a player, but I think he's a bit of a cunt for pledging his allegiance to CBJ to get his long term deal with NTC, then asking to leave not even a full year later. Just a bit of poetic justice. Like when Hossa left the Pens for the Wings, then the Pens won the cup against the Wings that very year.

On the topic of Wings talk, Jimmy Howard is supposed to be getting a 6 year deal worth 5.3M caphit. I don't follow the Wings admittedly, and some are saying the only reason the Wings are even in playoff talk right now is because of Howard's play with an overall craptacular defensive lineup, but I still have trouble putting him into the same category as other elite goalies. He's always played behind great teams/defenses up until this year and he has never had to be great, just good enough. 5.3M hit for 6 years is some serious commitment for a guy who many consider average or just above average. I see him more as a 3.5M-4M goalie, maybe 4.5M if somebody wants to overpay for his services. Is he worth 5.3Mx6 years to any other team in the league?

4.5M for 5+ years or 5M for 4 years would probably be more fair, but at the same time, Wings gotta do what they gotta do to keep him; 5.3M for 6 years isn't horrible, and he is sort of underrated...and yes, he IS the only reason they are even in contention of a playoff spot...he's had like one bad game all season, while Datsyuk and Zetterberg have had more than a couple of just absolutely horrible games....Throw in the fact that Detroit's defense has been a complete shithole, he's played VERY well.

Except Nash did not ask to be traded. Dumbass Howsen announced to the league that he wanted to trade Nash because he didn't think Nash figured in the future of CBJ. By announcing it, he also lowered Nash's trade value and screwed over CBJ.

For the GM, it's a moment saturated in honesty, frustration, spite, fortitude and doom. Nash forced his hand; he responded with middle fingers raised.

It may not be the best thing for the GM, the player, the team, the fans or the trade market — but here's to someone in professional sports allowing their aggravation to manifest in "the truthful thing to do."

Crosby is back on the ice this morning with a full face shield on...
