Sullivan, Erat, they used to have Legwand but traded him...Kostitsyn still play there?
But the point is fair. They're the Weber show.

Other than Mike Fisher, those are all bottom six players on other teams. That's rough.
Wow. San Jose, wow.
I think the Hawks will dominate the Wild. Good news for bearfan. But whoever comes out of Kings-Ducks is going to be looking likely.
Go Habs go

Torts never really fit in there, and with Gillis getting the axe, it was only a matter of time. Torts is a skilled coach, but he needs the right players, and is better as part of a solution for a new GM than a desperate one.
2-0 Habs, who are doing well in their first game in Beantown.

It's not just football that has extreme racism in it.

Ugh. 
Fuck I hate the Bruins.
Boston came out hard over the first 10 minutes, but a beautiful play by Vanek and a breakway out-of-the-box goal by Subban have the Habs up 2-0. Hoping that we see things continue in this fashion.

He is worth every penny, really good defenseman and invaluable on the penalty kill. I do not know how Hockey players play through some of these injuries. I'd take a week off of work for this 
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson will play against theMinnesota Wild in Game 3 of their Western Conference second-round series Tuesday night despite not being medically cleared to speak after being struck in the throat area by the puck during Game 2 at the United Center.
"He's fine, but he's unable to speak right now," coach Joel Quenneville said after his team's morning skate Tuesday. "But he's ready to go."

Cal Sport Media/AP ImagesBlackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson, who was hit in the throat by the puck Sunday and is unable to speak, will play in Game 3 on Tuesday.
Hjalmarsson was hit by a shot during the first period of Game 2 on Sunday. He fell to the ice and remained there for a few minutes. He skated to the bench on his own, was examined by the Blackhawks' medical staff and returned to the ice for his next shift.
"He's a tough character," said Johnny Oduya, Hjalmarsson's defense partner. "He's a Swedish Viking. He's one of a kind, obviously. It's good for morale. We know he's always out there doing his job.
"I was more worried he got hit in the eye or something like that. I didn't see what happened. But obviously he boosts morale for the team. We have a couple guys that step up and block a lot of shots, especially on the [penalty kill]. It's something we need."
Hjalmarsson wore a protective neck guard during the morning skate.
Quenneville said Hjalmarsson would face some challenges in being unable to speak during the game.
"Obviously you like to talk to the goalie playing it, your partner, whether he's got an out or you're the out; sometimes that can be beneficial," Quenneville said. "We always want to communicate on the bench, make sure we're talking as well. But I think we're familiar with a lot, and he's familiar with the players around him and changes as well.
"He's pretty aware of how to play the game and those types of situations. Maybe he's got to adapt a little bit, but for the most part, we expect him not to change too much."
Hjalmarsson leads all players with 30 blocked shots in the postseason. He had four blocks against the Wild in Game 2.
The Blackhawks lead the best-of-seven series 2-0.
