H5N Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Flames won their franchise-high 10th straight home game yesterday 5-2 over Wild. Woohoo go Flames go! Iggy is on fire, he got 4 points in that game! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorwing Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 6 points in a game? Not bad at all. Did anyone see Staals goal as well? yep, sure did, awesome breakaway again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix XII Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Sidney Crosby scored six points tonight to take over the NHL scoring lead, with fewer games than the rest and a higher points-per-game average. I knew this kid would do better than Ovechkin this year. I called it last year, I said Crosby will lead the scoring race next year.. of course everyone laughed.

R-Flex Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I called it last year, I said Crosby will lead the scoring race next year.. of course everyone laughed. Everyone was so amazed by Ovechkin, they forgot that Crosby had huge season last year, an 18 year-old with over 100 points. But one had to look realistically at the situation: Crosby is going to be even bigger than Ovechkin, and while there are few of us, we did say Crosby would lead. He might not win the Art Ross, by a hair, but he did miss a few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Crosby is not a natural goal scorer. Yes, he has goal-scoring abilities, but stop comparing him to Ovechkin -- they have two completely different styles. Crosby is far more better at playmaking than Ovechkin is, and Ovechkin has more speed and better vision as far as shooting goes. To go ahead and say one will certainly win the points race this year is utterly stupid as they're both amazing players. To say Crosby everyone was so amazed by Ovechkin that they forgot Crosby is a vast overstatement. Everyone knew Crosby, and everyone watched what he did. Everyone who follows hockey knows he had an amazing rookie season. And yes, Crosby is going to be bigger than Ovechkin. The fans are more likely to cheer on a North American than a European if you want the truth. For example, Jagr is an amazing player, but he never will get the kind of fan fare that Mario had. I know you also can't compare these two, but you get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebiacsi Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 One things for certain, this years all-star game is going to be a doozy if Sid and Alex are playing on the same line. :D Not sure who i would have plaing on the right with those two though.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted December 15, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 15, 2006 It's a collection of bizarre matchups sure to leave NHL fans scratching their heads. Sheldon Souray squaring off against teammate Craig Rivet. Rookie Dustin Penner going toe-to-toe with the retired Marc Bergevin. Martin Brodeur taking on both Tie Domi and Donald Brashear. Fortunately (especially for Brodeur), the clashes take place not on the ice, but at the poker table, where 16 current and former NHLers battle for Texas Hold 'Em supremacy in the PartyPoker.net Charity Faceoff. The seven-part series starts tomorrow (TSN, 1 p.m.) and continues throughout the holidays, culminating with the one-hour finale Dec. 30. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentSe...l=1044442957278 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebiacsi Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Colorado has the chance to move into second place in the northwest division tonight. It's gonna be a tough game with Khabibulin playing the way he is, it's also doesn't help that Havlat is back and scoring points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gonna be a tough game with Khabibulin playing the way he is, it's also doesn't help that Havlat is back and scoring points. Plus Chicago now has Peter Bondra. So far he's (nearly) a point a game (but it's early). Edited January 5, 2007 by Fred Derf fact check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted January 5, 2007 Veteran Share Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) Ouch, rough night for Boston and Detroit last night. Yeah, the bloody game was on Leafs TV (a digital specialty channel that I don't subscribe to). I looked at the boxscore this morning though. 10-2! Alex Steen had an awesome night (and he was having a terrible sophomore season to this point). We're in the dark days right now. We have to find our mojo. We've lost our mojo.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted January 6, 2007 Veteran Share Posted January 6, 2007 Darcy Tucker, looking particularly hoser on this day in lumber jacket and toque ? I love hockey player fashion off the ice, which is essentially anti-fashion (at least since style-guru Tie Domi retired) ? still manages to maintain that satanic quality, vaguely menacing. With microphones uplifted and notebooks open, the hockey correspondents await Tucker's breaking news update on his foot ouchie, the swelling from a tracery of finely cracked bones risen anew, sidelining him from the Boston encounter. Don't bet against him being in the lineup tonight against Buffalo, though.In another corner, Belak continues to whinge about the 2 + 10 he'd drawn the night before, ostensibly for deliberately breaking his stick after a holding call, then jawing about it. "The stick BROKE. I didn't BREAK it," Belak argues, the picture of angelic innocence. Got to give this to the endlessly cheerful Belak. Somehow, on marginal talent and with enforcement specialists rendered increasingly obsolete, he's managed to endure in this league, on this team, well aware that he might very well be one of the luckiest guys on Earth. Describing events in the dressing room after the first period in Boston, Leafs then trailing 2-1: "Coach came in and tore us a new one." The Leafs responded with nine unanswered goals, blowouts of awesome proportions. &qIt was like playing Sega '96 out there," he says. &qBackdoor tap-ins, everything was going in." http://www.thestar.com/columnists/article/168445 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
