Sharks just lost to Buffalo.  BUFFALO! I tell ya.

Sharks outshot Buffalo 30-15.

Hemskys stat line is terrible.

He as 1 pt and is -5, so he has been on the ice for like 6 goals against.
Spezza has 11 pts and also -5 so imagine how many goals against does he have...

The stars are last years sens. Spezza and hemsky were awful additions

Of course they are but the dumbies that watch hockey will say "well Spezza is pulling his weight" lol. Only difference this year in Dallas is he isn't the captain and nt a soul gives a damn about him, so that's a better situation.

I'm with Dr. Poo. We should totally get one of these guys.

Hell, get *two* of 'em like the Penguins did.  We'd be totally rolling in Cups, right?

RIGHT???!

Who's counting.

That wasn't a question.

By the way, Datsyuk with a goal and a -2 in a 4-2 loss; Zetterberg was also a -2. Pavel is -2 on the season even though he's only played 3 games.

Toews was -2 on the night with no points in a 3-2 loss to the Blues. He's -1 on the year. Kane was a -2 as well but at least had an assist. He's -2 on the year. How may +/- per $ is that?

Malkin is a -2 on the year. Crosby is even. How? Oh, yeah, it's a stupid stat. Right. It certainly seems to be coming back in vogue in this thread.

Ouch!

“I told them I wanted to go back and finish the game. The doctors said I had multiple facial fractures. One told me, ‘If you go back on the ice, you are going to die.’ Honestly, it wasn’t until then that I had any idea how serious this was.”

Both trainers jumped on to assist. Had to improvise by asking a player to break a stick in half so they could use it to tie down a tourniquet.

When will cut-resistant under-armor be made mandatory?

Kings will be playing one-short due to cap issues and not having the cap space to bring up a replacement for Kopitar.

Surely, we could help them out.

Hjalmarsson on waivers.


That would be Simon Hjalmarsson, Columbus.

The Kings are going to play one player short tonight becauseVoynov's contract counts against the cap during his current suspension.

If Lombardi was smart he would have sent Voynov's contract to the minors at the beginning of the suspension. Would have saved a portion of the caphit while suspended. Doubt any other GM would have the balls to claim him off waivers with the current domestic abuse climate, not to mention have enough cap space or budget.

Can't hide contracts over $1M.

Hence the part where I said "a portion of the caphit".
