It was very good to see, especially after the few days off. And tonight was good too. A tight game they manged NOT to give away in the last seconds! Amazing. <BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>and I'll stop profusely disclaimering, I just wasn't sure when I first started posting because I have been the victim of a flame or 2 and it's not fun. ;) Plus.. ya never really can tell with just words on a page. But yay! <BR/><BR/>And just for the record, I hate Joe Thornton. Just cuz. No reason, but he BUGS the heck out of me. Except for his VS commercial with the toast, that's kinda funny. ;)S.A.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17506479286542011522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-67417566046405678482008-01-30T13:33:00.000-05:002008-01-30T13:33:00.000-05:00Tallinder is not overrated, but I do wish he'd use...Tallinder is not overrated, but I do wish he'd use his rather "Lanky Hanky" body more. It would seem to me, though I am not a hockey player, that playing defense is easier when you can physically overwhelm your opponents. <BR/><BR/>Hank is very good at basically sitting on smaller opponents until Toni "I'm a serial killer, don't mess with me" Lydman clears the puck, but hitting looks fun! Try it, Hank! <BR/><BR/>I think it's about time Hank went apeshit on someone. It's good for the ole' rep around the league when people aren't sure if you're sane.<BR/><BR/>The Southeast sucks. I can't believe that two Cup winners have come from that lousy division in the past 10 years or so.<BR/><BR/>Funny comment: Don Lever, coach of the AHL All-Star team (don't remember which side), when asked how much coaching he did before the game "None. We gave out some raw meat on the locker room." <BR/><BR/>I have often thought that raw meat was what made Max go - now I have confirmation that this is a time-tested method of coaching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-88723488349840114572008-01-30T06:34:00.000-05:002008-01-30T06:34:00.000-05:00Meg, thanks for all the Southeast stats.

I guess the fact that they all play each other so much and still can't really get ahead is what surprises me the most.

Wow, they are not good. I think it's a little unfair that any of them get to be in the playoffs at this point.</I><BR/><BR/>Right now Carolina has the most points in the Southeast and if it weren't for the whole division-leaders-on-top thing they would be in 9th place. Even that's deceiving because they've played more games than any other team in the conference. The team with the best winning % is Washington at .510--which is also good for only 9th in the conference. And this is despite the fact that they get each get 32 games against the equally weak Southeastern teams. So unless that situation changes, I'd say it's definitely unfair that a team from the division will be in the playoffs. <BR/><BR/>And hey, intelligent disagreement is good for the brain.
