No problem everyone. I was hockey starved last night lol

I read an article either from NHL.com or ESPN.com about top lines in the NHL. it was a good read & I just tried looking for it. But there are some great top lines that I forgot about…

I read that Renney interview and the guy is still full of it. I sure don’t miss that double speak, mister mumbleypegs. Ya they may make the playoffs because they are in a weak division. How do you blow a five goal lead?

That video of Ovechkin was hilarious. Excellent post MAKO.

Those lines are pretty decent, but I think Lisin gives us a better offensive presence up top on the 1st line than AA does. AA is better defensively as well so putting him on the 3rd or 4th line I personally believe is better for the team. Plus Lisin is probably the only one on the team that can keep up with Gaborik on rushes up ice (maybe Dubi and Callahan, but they don’t have the puck handling or shooting skills that Lisin possesses at full speed).

I agree with devils boitano on that ice dancing skit. I have to give him credit though, because you know how difficult it is for hockey skate wearers to slip on figure skates. That toe keeps tripping you constantly until you get over the difference. But it’s embarrassing.

That Babcock is funny. That mental image of a flopperoo was priceless.

Lines should be as follows: (1)Prospal, AA, Gabby, (2) Avery, Dubie, Kotalik (3) Higgins, Drury, Callahan & (4) Lisin, Boyle & Byers. These combos, I believe provide the best overall balance. Super additons this year: Prospal, AA, Kotalik, Gilroy, MDZ, Lisin & of course Gabby. On the downside, Drury, Cally, Higgins, Avery, Staal & Girardi need to lift their games and make statement. Rozsival really needs to go and supprisingly Redden seems to perform better when less is expected of him, albeit he’s still grossly overpaid.

I was chided last season when I enthused aboiut Mara and Morris, and hated to see them go. Now Morris is touted as Bruins best defenseman….????And from day one I’ve always been a Mara booster. Hasn’t anyone ever noticed the way he handles attacking speedballs in his own end? He’s given textbook views of his handling of guys like Kovalev and Ovechkin. He skates them shoulder to shoulder wherever they go and runs them out of room, or stamina..whichever comes first. He is one of the toughest guys in the game to get by one on one.

I don’t know Babs. He sure doesn’t look like LD and that man is a swan killer.

He’s 2 meters tall!!!! Good morning Staal and all! MAKO, brilliant find!

Grabs, I can’t believe you’re the first one to call me Babs and that it took someone this long…been a common nickname forveer.

Greg, blogmama can’t wait for baseball to end…sorry yanks fans, but it’s the truth.
