monkeypower 2,949 Posted February 24, 2015 DSP played well in the Dallas series last year but hasn't done much since.I think the plan is for Sekac to try to be the LW for Getzlaf and Perry. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mamiller99 107 Posted February 24, 2015 This new proposed playoff thing could work. From a business standpoint NBCSN, CBC, TSN, RSN, and FOX would make a killing off this. Plus, it'd allow for more rivalries to forged. The games themselves would be more fun, because the players would have the drive to play, which means less boring of a game. If teams were successful in making it into the playoffs, but only by wildcard, I think it makes sense for them to have to work more. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sodboy13 5,577 Posted February 24, 2015 As a non-Chicago non-Blackhawks guy, Sharp always seem liked a decent guy on the outside.Does he have a(n alleged) problem with the local Chicago people of the female variety or something?He is a well-known poonhound, yes. The problem (outside of the whole "you're married with two kids, so maybe lay off the side action" thing) is that lately, allegedly, Sharp's libido has been violating the old "Don't where you eat" mantra. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cosmic 6,409 Posted February 25, 2015 Ugh. The last three opposing goalies the Sabres have faced have had a combined 17 games of NHL experience. And now they have three points in their last three games. Even a blind squirrel is right twice a day! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HedleyLamarr 1,393 Posted February 25, 2015 Watching the Avalanche-Predators game....it's not often you see an empty-net goal scored with over 11 minutes left in the third period. Colorado was only down 3 at that point before said goal was scored.It's some pretty forward thinking by Roy, but it seems like they've been far less successful when pulling the goalie this season. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

habsfan1 3,775 Posted February 25, 2015 Habs trade Jiri Sekac to Anaheim for Smith-Pelly. Personally I think Sekac has more upside and potential, but he apparently causes a few problems in the locker room. I'll give him a chance, but smells like a bad trade to me. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dbadefense1990 369 Posted February 25, 2015 Oh god, no. http://www.si.com/nhl/2015/02/24/nhl-playoff-expansion-proposal-four-more-wild-card-teamsSo would having these "one-game wildcard matches" in hockey serve to both punish the wildcard winner and reward the division winner the way baseball does with its format? Because I don't see it.In MLB, often the teams in the Wildcard Game burn their best pitchers and hitting lineups because it's one game, sudden-death, all to play into the actual multi-game series, giving the top team in each league (i.e. the team who'd play the wildcard game winner in the Division Series) an extra incentive to grab the AL/NL #1 seed. In the NHL however, there is no such thing as "burning your best goalie in a Wildcard Game so that your team plays into the actual postseason and you have to start the 1st postseason round with your 2nd best goalie." Hockey is such a crapshoot sport to begin with; those incentives for top seeds in baseball's playoffs will not exist if this boneheaded proposal is accepted. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
