Official NHL 2007-2008 Thread 2 Minutes for Hooking

They're not even averaging 3 GPG in February. I realize I am throwing stones from a glass house when it comes to offense, but that's hardly knowing how to score. Even the Devils have averaged 3.4 for the month.

Remember what I said? (The Rangers have figured out how to score)

Let's see:

2/16: 5 Goals
2/17: 3 Goals
2/19: 5 Goals
2/23: 4 Goals
2/24: Through a period and a half: 3 Goals

Last 4.5 games: 20 Goals, 4.44 goals per game. If they get that consistently over the end of the season and the playoffs, then other teams will be in trouble.

[Clash!]

lol.

Was this directed at me?

[Cowutopia]

yes.

[Clash!]

So you are saying the Wild should be afraid of all the teams I did not mention? Like the Predators? Im not scared of the Predators.

I am not too scared of the Sharks, although I suppose I should be. We have only played them twice, and lost both times. But we play them again later this year still and that should tell me how that would go. I also don't really know a ton about the Sharks this season.

Canucks, I am not scared of the Canucks. Luango is not what he was last season, and the rest of the team is pretty spastic.

Dallas has the Kings in their division so that helps their record quite a bit. Also, and Home Arena advantage we would have over them would be mind numbing. I don't think anyone has any idea how insane a playoff game against them at the Xcel Energy center would be.

[Cowutopia]

I'm saying lol you'd have to play the Flames.


Jesus.

I'm saying lol you'd have to play the Flames.


Jesus.

Heh, I was not sure what was making you Laugh Out Loud.

Yeah. Hold your breath.

And, for you Brodeur fans, since the 2005-6 season Lundqvist is second only to Hasek in GAA.

Yawn. And every single GM in the league would take Brodeur over both of them if they had to win one game or one series, which is why they voted Brodeur as the best goalie every year since 2005-6, and they will again this year.

[haohmaru]

Where do GM's vote for "best goalie"?

If we're talking Vezina trophies, Kiprusoff won in '06 and there wasn't one awarded in 2005. And Hasek has won 6 of them to Brodeur's 3. Let's not forget, too, that much of Hasek's career was spent with the under funded Sabres. I think it's hard, really hard, to compare goalies - especially considering the 15 players that play in front of him. Brodeur played behind some of the best defensive teams in NHL history.

I'd take whichever one was hot at the time.

[haohmaru]

Yeah. Hold your breath.

5 again tonight. And Jagr has consistently turned it on the last two years in late February and March. They are playing well, even if you want to deny it.
