GDT: Sens @ Ducks - Wednesday, Feb 25th, 10pm, TSN5, RDS

Wiercioch should be with Gryba and Boro should be with Ceci to see where we stand if we trade Cowen, but whatever.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Perry will probably hand the Hammond a very nice hat trick

Ducks play the Kings on Friday. We got this one in the bag.

I'd rather Getzlaf...I have him in my pool.

MICHALLICA WILL BE THERE IN THE LOWER BOWLS REPRESENTING

Interesting Wiercioch-Ceci pairing there.

Sens win 4-2. Wiercioch on the ice for 2 of the goals while not getting any assists.

Isn't it becoming obvious? Ceci-Cowen are the only two D-men who are negative. Ceci at -6 and Cowen at -13. I'd bet Ceci would be positive if he was not playing side by side with Cowen. We'll see tonight.

He's tops on the team in 6, 2nd in 2 and 3rd in another 2.

And if you think it's all bunk, consider that Phillips last or 2nd to last in all but 2.

And the only reason Phillips is not last in +/- is because he spent significant time playing with Karlsson.

And, conversely, the only reason Karlsson (3rd in scoring and +16 since Christmas) is not (yet) in the Norris discussion is because he spent significant time playing with Phillips.

It's becoming very clear that if Methot was not injured we'd be in or close to a playoff spot and Karlsson would be the odds-on favorite to win his second Norris. AINFK.

The Karlsson Methot thing is a myth. He was still not fully recovered from injury

he didn't just magically start healing once he got away from ol' BIg Rig.

He didn't plau with phillips that much. Either way He wasn't playing good period. He was Dung. Pheonix was playing better well before Methot came back

Pfft. He needed Methot as much as anything. Maybe - repeat maybe Boro could have done it. But no one else. He's not easy to play with, but clearly to rewarding.

Yeah, right, after a year, then a full season, then a full summer, he just needed those 30 games to get back to normal.

He did play with Phillips quite a lot. And when the two of them were on the ice together he did a lot of skating around seemingly trying to cover both sides of the ice. It was almost comical. Probably tired him out too. You see him now, he may be on the ice 26 minutes but a significant amount of that time is spend standing in one spot and watching where the action is heading, then ZING! and he's up the ice with the puck and everyone's like "Huh, where did he come from?" That goal he score last game -- he started as the right-side defenseman and all of a sudden he is a left-winger on a partial breakaway. When playing with Phillips he was starting as the right-side defenseman and all of a sudden he is a left-side defenseman.

He was better with Boro than with Phillips, no question. Then Boro Andersoned his leg.
