Looks as if Freddie may have put and end to the Hollweg era. In my personal opinion Freddie, Betts, and Orr make one lethal 4th line. A line that will hurt you physically and on the score board every so often. Great addition. Always liked Hollwegs heart but Freddie is the much better choice for that line. Not sure why people dont like Orr. Take him out of the lineup and the Rangers lose a lot more. He is needed just as much as any other player on that team if not more.

Anyone else notice that everytime Toots shoots the puck he goes for the top corner and misses? I wish he would just try and put the puck low and on net so our forwards can look for the rebounds. I have noticed all year when he gets the puck and shoots it almost always misses and goes all the way around the board for a quick race up the ice with him trapped behind the play.

BTW, would much prefer Dubi to win the Conn Smythe than the Calder….

That’s not to say there’s anything wrong with Dubi’s play. I think long-term he’ll be more of a complete player, whereas the others are more of ‘point-getters’. Dubi’s start will be what keeps him off the list.

PJ – Kane & Toews have been awesome all year. Toews missed some time due to a leg injury and has been back for about 3-5 games. And picked up right where he left off. I think that the 3 nominees will be Toews, Kane and Backstrom from washington. Backstrom on points alone. The other 2 have a better game. IMO.

Riche’ – I think the only reason Milbury is there is the reason that Hull was part of the broadcast last year. They’re looking for that “what’s he going to say next” aproach.

On the Milbury topic…

I found it extremely funny that he kept saying things like “The Rangers are pinching their defense… where’s the Rangers’ forwards to pick them up?” He then said “On this goal by Backman… he piches… where’s the Rangers forwards… it’s obviously a blown coverage.” Then someone corrected him saying “That was when Briere went to the bench slowly after that big hit behind the net.”

In the TV industry… when your “star analyst” is saying stuff like that and being corrected on a regular basis… he can’t last much longer (can he?!!!).

I thought at one point Emmerick was going to say “You mean the Flyers! Say the Flyers dammit!!!”

As much as the NBC announcers stink, they brought up a good point. Prucha should be odd man out right now. The response from Eddie O (who is almost as bad as Emrick) was who would come out for him?? Callahan? the kid has been playing great since being re-called. They mentioned using Pru as an extra to keep guys motivated and plug in if a guy gets hurt. I like Pru and truly believe with PP time he is a 25+ goal scorer every year, but right now don’t mess with the chemistry. Personally I like Hollweg, but Shoey brings so much more to that line, can you imagine Hollweg ever scoring on the play that Shoey scored on????

Beer Me- The announcers only mentioned that the Flyers stayed close with all of their guys injured, and should be getting them back soon. Nothing else on that. Although they did mention that Dubi shoudl get many ROY votes. I like his game but haven’t the 2 Blackhawks been better??
