His league rank is 25th in the Regular Season, and he's practically had no playoff experience. That's not "the best". That's mediocre at best.


Boudreau never tried him in playoffs.

Hey Cam Ward had a GAA of 3.66 or so in 2006 and he won the Cup for Carolina, a team that's in bottom tiers of nhl.
Who knows if Fasth's the next Ward? Hmm?

Opinions on Torts' firing?

Methinks that it'll produce some of the best Youtube vids, although it kind of sucks, since I liked Torts' commentary.

Torts is a great coach but even with Lundo he can't win the cup for the Rangers. Best fit in another team.

This makes me sad. I'll miss them! Anyways,

Shofercia wrote:So here are the results:

Qazox: (6) Sharks, Kings, Blackhawks, Penguins, Bruins, Rangers
Shofercia: (5) Sharks, Kings, Blackhawks, Penguins, Bruins
Lesbia: (5) Sharks, Kings, Blackhawks, Penguins, Bruins
Quebec: (4) Kings, Blackhawks , Penguins, Bruins
Poland: (3) Kings, Blackhawks, Bruins


And here are the bets:

Kings: Quebec, Fruition, Lesbia, Shofercia, Poland
Sharks: Qazox

Blackhawks: Quebec, Fruition, Lesbia, Qazox, Shofercia, Poland
Red Wings: No love for the Wings again. It feels weird saying this: Red Wings are the underdogs :P

Penguins: Quebec, Fruition, Lesbia, Qazox, Shofercia, Poland
Senators: I'm guessing that we're hoping that they get impeached this round :P

Bruins: Lesbia, Qazox, Shofercia, Poland
Rangers: Quebec, Fruition


Time to update the scores:

Qazox: (9) Sharks, Kings, Blackhawks, Penguins, Bruins, Rangers; Blackhawks, Penguins, Bruins
Shofercia: (9) Sharks, Kings, Blackhawks, Penguins, Bruins; Kings, Blackhawks, Penguins, Bruins
Lesbia: (9) Sharks, Kings, Blackhawks, Penguins, Bruins; Kings, Blackhawks, Penguins, Bruins
Quebec: (7) Kings, Blackhawks , Penguins, Bruins; Kings, Blackhawks, Penguins
Poland: (7) Kings, Blackhawks, Bruins; Kings, Blackhawks, Penguins, Bruins
Fruition: (3) Missed Round I; Kings, Blackhawks, Penguins

Let me just say that I'm very impressed by the top trio. Did you know that if you placed money on all NHL teams with a 75% win ratio, you'd double whatever you bet, under most odds? And yes, 9/12 = 75% cause I'm good at math 8)

Now, here are my bets:

Kings
Penguins

And it's time for you to make yours too! Because there will not be any games until Saturday, the 15 minute faceoff rule is in full effect, no exceptions this time. Make your bets 15 minutes before the first faceoff of the first game on Saturday.

Why I want Chicago to win:

1) Toews and Kane are there

2) I wanna see a team with a mediocre goalie win

Am I the only one here thinking that maybe an Original Six 'Cup playoff series would be awesome IE Hawks vs Bruins?

Also, it has to be said, the BS in last night's officiating, my god...

And Zetterberg is an asshole...but we knew that already.

Technically it was Hjalmarsson who won the game...

That ref is just lucky that the 'Hawks won in the end. The fans know where the exits are and would have been none too pleased to say the least.
