Sitting on the bench counting his money?

I think he forms the other PP d-pairing, likely with a forward.

PK Subban has been pretty quiet since "The Goal of the Century" and having his people tell everyone on the team and in management and ownership to call him "The Real Show."

Justin Faulk is unreal. His offense is Karlsson esque

Léopold for a 5th round pick? Am i missing something? He's a verry serviceable d man

Cap move, I think.

And he probably isn't great

Meh.  He's nothing special and hasn't been for a while.

Leafs got shelled by Buffalo. Delicious.

Hemsky...

17 games, 2 assists, -8. That is an ugly, ugly, ugly stat line. Michalek looks like Crosby in comparison.

Bryan Murray sure dodged that bullet for us.

A lot of people thought this is what would happen to Hemsky.

I tried to read Yost's piece on puck possession on TSN. He pretty much takes his BS stats and try to come up with some kind of completely inaccurate analysis out of it. Anyone who has watched a couple games can see it's completely bogus
How did TSN become such a joke?

When they decided to go Bardown... whatever the hell that means.

OK, I have not been following what he's been writing since the first article.  Thanks for dragging me back in there

So the stats indicate that Ottawa's Score-Adjusted Fenwick percentage has dropped significantly from last year's numbers?  I had no idea our Score-Adjusted Fenwick % was so good last year (better than 50%).  So why did we miss the playoffs?

Still to this day, I have never read a thing Yost as written and will continue that trend. He's an idiot.

Nice add for the Stars.

Seguin, Benn, Spezza... good luck keeping the puck out of their own net. Lucky for the Stars Benn is about as complete a player as there is in the NHL with elite status.

What's funny is this year he hasn't been. I wonder why...
