I hit both Av games in the NY metro area this week.  Last night I got to see Svatos go off and score two goals only to just miss a third which would have tied the game and brought the Avs all the way back from 3-0 and 4-1.  Unfortunately the Avs lost 5-4 due to some really bad goaltending from Aebischer (2 real bad goals).  Budaj shut it down in the third after they pulled Aebischer allowing the game to get within one.  However, Svatos just missed a tip in front that would have tied up the game.  I know bc I was on the glass right at their net where he just missed the puck.  The Ranger game was completely different, as it played out very old school NHL.  Defensive minded from the start, the Avs scored first in the second on a sweet shot from Sakic after Svatos drew a penalty that was very close to a penalty shot.  Less then a minute later, Svatos hit Joe in the clear on a breakaway and he got pulled down from behind and this time was awarded a penalty shot.  Sakic nailed it five hole style to score for the second time within a minute.  The Rangers made it close with a late second period goal in which Kolesnik made three great saves but couldn't come up with the last one.  The coverage in front on the play was terrible as Blake seemed to just watch as the Ranger player got four shots on the goalie without any pressure.  After that the rookie goaltender shut it down for the Avs and probably just answered the question on who the #1 in Colorado is from here on in.  I think he'll be the man with Budaj backing him up.  That's right, two rookies in net for the Avs this year if Q and Lacroix make what I think is the right choice.  Cya!

Colorado should just trade Aebischer to Buffalo for their backup goalie Noronen. Reason being? Biron is finally winning games, and Noronen is actually pretty good(his one game against the Rangers he was fantastic even though they lost which in a way wasnt his fault..in the shootout they pulled him after he let up one goal).

Truth be told, I'm very happy with Kolesnik and Budaj in net for the Avs.  If they indeed make a move, I'd rather them trade Aebischer for some forward depth vs. fleecing the system for a guy like Luongo (sp).  Perhaps I'm wrong, but it makes the most sense to me.  On a side note, I forgot to mention I actually met Joe Sakic, John-Michael Liles, Patrice Brisebois, and Bob Boughner after the game.  It was cool as shit talking hockey with JM and Sakic, especially how they may face each other soon in the olympics.  Boughner added some much needed grit to the lineup last night and he was very happy to get the ice time as he'd been a healthy scratch for a few straight games.  Patrice was really quiet, but a nice guy.  Joe seemed embarrassed that he was the night's hero and almost didn't like the praise as he kept pushing the credit to the guys making the passes and doing the grunt work making him look good.  Liles actually seemed to be into chatting hockey with the fans more then the fans.  It was cool as hell to meet these guys, especially when they impress you with their humble qualities and fan friendliness.  My ticket stub actually has a bunch of sigs now, the first time I ever got someone's sig in since Dan Fouts and Wes Chandler when I was 5!  Go Bolts!

On the bright side, Vladimir Malakhov retired.  McGillis should still take a few games at Albany even though he's being recalled to take Malakhov's place since he's so out of synch with the wings on the power play.

stinks...he gives up huge rebounds...and i have been seeing a ton of
Nittymaki lately for the Flyers...i like DePietro though, and I would
have preferred to see Ryan Miller over any of the three listed... The
defense is old and slow....Chelios' first coach in the L was Moses,
Hatcher is a million years old too, and so is Mathieu Schneider...the
Russians and the Canadians are going to skate RINGS around these
guys....the Swedes too....I don't like Tkachuck and Weight
either....Weight has lost a step, and Tkachuck has been hurt on and off
since coming into camp weighing almost 3 bills...Would've liked to have seen Jeff Halpern make it...hopefully he'll be on the Taxi Squad...I don't like this team at all...at least compared with the powerhouses we're going to play....Russians beat the Swedes to win the gold....the US will be lucky if it medals....

The Colorado scouts actually found him this past year while he was the country's number 1 goalie in the worlds.  Until this year since he's come to the AHL/NHL, he was a fixture on that team for about 4 years.  On another rookie note, Marek Svatos won another game last night in the third period!  It was his fucking 7th game winner on the year!  This kid has just been moved up to the number one line.  For the last 2-3 weeks due to injuries to Turgeon and Konowalchuk, Svatos was stuck on a line with fucking Brad May and Brett McLean!  He still was productive, but now imagine what he'll put up playing with Joe Sakic and Alex Tanguay?  This rookie race is the best I ever remember.  Svatos is on pace to score 42 goals as a rookie.  Yet he just got on Joe's line.  Here's the latest update:<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" width="647" border="0"><tr><td class="HEADLINEGRAPH">RK</td><td class="S1135335663923" align="left"><a title="PLAYER NAME" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=player.properName&viewName=summary">Player</a></td><td class="S1135335663923" align="center"><a title="POSITION" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=player.position.positionCode&viewName=summary">P</a></td><td class="S1135335663923" align="center"><a title="TEAM" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=team.displayAbbrev&viewName=summary">Tm</a></td><td class="S1135335663923" align="right"><a title="GAMES PLAYED" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=gamesPlayed&viewName=summary">GP</a></td><td class="S1135335663923" align="right"><a title="TOTAL GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=goals&viewName=summary">G</a></td><td class="S1135335663923" align="right"><a title="TOTAL ASSISTS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=assists&viewName=summary">A</a></td><td class="S1135335663923" align="right">P</td><td class="S1135335663923" align="right"><a title="PLUS/MINUS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=plusMinus&viewName=summary">+/-</a></td><td class="S1135335663923" align="right"><a title="PENALTY MINUTES" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=penaltyMinutes&viewName=summary">PIM</a></td><td class="S1135335663923" align="right"><a title="OVERTIME GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=overtimeGoals&viewName=summary">OT</a></td><td class="S1135335663923" align="right"><a title="POWER PLAY GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=powerPlayGoals&viewName=summary">PP</a></td><td class="S1135335663923" align="right"><a title="SHORT HANDED GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=shortHandedGoals&viewName=summary">SH</a></td><td class="S1135335663923" align="right"><a title="GAME WINN

getting him on the Olympic stage would be a good way to just get him
out there for people to see him...There are people who just
watch olympic hockey and could care less about the NHL, and maybe
seeing guys like El Sid and Ovechkin could get more people into the new
NHL...

I was VERY impressed with what I saw Nashville do to Vancouver t'other night....Dave
Poile built the PERFECT kind of team for this kind of game...he's got
nothing but little, quick guys that can skate and move the puck...plus
he's always had d-men on his teams that could score (see the mid 90s
Caps with three 20 goal Defensemen in the same year), and Vokoun isn't
too bad in net...(he's also making noise about wanting to start for the
Czechs in the olympics over Hasek...i'm going to keep an eye on that)I like Nashville and Ottawa in the Cup finals at this point...

No way in hell does Nashville make it all the way.  Their goalie is top shelf, but in a playoff series they're going to get beat up.  Especially since the calls will surely change.  They'll get beat down by the powerful West.  Especially if they play the Wings, the Flames, LA and the Canucks if they get a goalie. <img src="http://members.aol.com/dxixrxt/spoon2.jpg" border="0" /> It's like a koala bear crapped a rainbow in my brain!

The Devils released Mogilny. I don't get it. He was having a pretty good season. Now the Elias return improves the team only marginally. I hope Lamoriello has a plan. Maybe he's just writing off this season and trying to shed all the dead weight and rebuild for next year.

By the way the answer to my question is that 4 of 6 games last night were shutouts!  Crazy.  I'd push that we're heading back to the pre-strike game if not for the 10 power plays the Avs alone faced and killed last night.  Just a weird fluke that seems to happen more often then one would expect.

Finally the Avs are on a roll!  5 wins in a row and another great defensive performance from the D and Abby!  On top of this, Svatos had yet another game winner in a 5-1 win.  In fact, he tied Ovechkin for the lead in goals scored by rookies with 25 on the year by netting his second hat trick on the year!  Hear's the latest stats.  Pay attention to game winners (Svatos leads the whole NHL), shot percentage, ice time and realize how accurate this kid is.  He pretty much plays so much less then both other top rookies that it adds up to a game extra for every third game they all play in terms of ice time.  This is mainly bc the Avs are in the playoff hunt and the others aren't even close. <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" width="647" border="0"><tr><td class="HEADLINEGRAPH">RK</td><td class="S1136889254156" align="center"><a title="POSITION" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=player.position.positionCode&viewName=summary">Pos</a></td><td class="S1136889254156" align="left"><a title="PLAYER NAME" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=player.properName&viewName=summary">Player</a></td><td class="S1136889254156" align="center"><a title="TEAM" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=team.displayAbbrev&viewName=summary">Team</a></td><td class="S1136889254156" align="right"><a title="GAMES PLAYED" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=gamesPlayed&viewName=summary">GP</a></td><td class="S1136889254156" align="right"><a title="TOTAL GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=goals&viewName=summary">G</a></td><td class="S1136889254156" align="right"><a title="TOTAL ASSISTS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=assists&viewName=summary">A</a></td><td class="S1136889254156" align="right">P</td><td class="S1136889254156" align="right"><a title="PENALTY MINUTES" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=penaltyMinutes&viewName=summary">PIM</a></td><td class="S1136889254156" align="right"><a title="PLUS/MINUS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=plusMinus&viewName=summary">+/-</a></td><td class="S1136889254156" align="right"><a title="SHORT HANDED GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=shortHandedGoals&viewName=summary">SH</a></td><td class="S1136889254156" align="right"><a title="POWER PLAY GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=powerPlayGoals&viewName=summary">PP</a></td><td class="S1136889254156" align="right"><a title="GAME WINNING GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=gameWinningGoals&viewName=summary">GW</a></td><td class="S1136889254156" align="right"><a title="GAME TYING GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=2006

6 in a row for the Avs.  Svatos with the game-tying goal late in the 3rd and Lappy with the winner.  Avs over the Habs 2-1 in a goalie duel.  Huet played amazing as he stopped around 30 straight against Colorado until Svatos put one in.  Abby matched him, but face a lot less shots as the Avs and Abby were great again defensively.  Thats 5 straight awesome games in net for Abby as it looks like he's back to his old self again and fully confident once more.  It also looks like Jose might be losing his job in Montreal.  He may be moved soon according to recent rumors.

How's this for your all-rookie line up front?  Since Crosby is taking a lot of face-offs, he needs to work on that stat.  The other two don't take many, probably only when the center gets tossed from the circle.  Other then that, they all need work defensively but who doesn't in the NHL as a rookie forward?  These three are putting up incredible rookie numbers.<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" width="647" border="0"><tr><td class="HEADLINEGRAPH">RK</td><td class="S1137055166811" align="left"><a title="PLAYER NAME" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=player.properName&viewName=summary">Player</a></td><td class="S1137055166811" align="center"><a title="TEAM" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=team.displayAbbrev&viewName=summary">Team</a></td><td class="S1137055166811" align="center"><a title="POSITION" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=player.position.positionCode&viewName=summary">Pos</a></td><td class="S1137055166811" align="right"><a title="GAMES PLAYED" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=gamesPlayed&viewName=summary">GP</a></td><td class="S1137055166811" align="right"><a title="TOTAL GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=goals&viewName=summary">G</a></td><td class="S1137055166811" align="right"><a title="TOTAL ASSISTS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=assists&viewName=summary">A</a></td><td class="S1137055166811" align="right">P</td><td class="S1137055166811" align="right"><a title="PLUS/MINUS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=plusMinus&viewName=summary">+/-</a></td><td class="S1137055166811" align="right"><a title="PENALTY MINUTES" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=penaltyMinutes&viewName=summary">PIM</a></td><td class="S1137055166811" align="right"><a title="POWER PLAY GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=powerPlayGoals&viewName=summary">PP</a></td><td class="S1137055166811" align="right"><a title="SHORT HANDED GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=shortHandedGoals&viewName=summary">SH</a></td><td class="S1137055166811" align="right"><a title="GAME WINNING GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=gameWinningGoals&viewName=summary">GW</a></td><td class="S1137055166811" align="right"><a title="GAME TYING GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=gameTyingGoals&viewName=summary"></a></td><td class="S1137055166811" align="right"><a title="OVERTIME GOALS" href="http://www.ronfez.net/nhlstats/stats?service=direct&context=Stats/changeSortColumnAction&fetchKey=20062ALLARSAll&sort=overtimeGoals&viewName=summary">OT</a></td>

CJ is right.  Yet that goal truly get summed up as a hustle goal and that's pretty impressive for a rookie of his talent.  I love the way he plays, and has to be in the lead for rookie of the year as of now.  However, I don't think Crosby should be ranked second as of now.  I'd put Calgary's D Phaneuf and Colorado's Svatos in that spot.  But you know Crosby won't fall lower than 2nd place.  Hell, an argument could be made for Prucha and Lundqvist (v after q, what is wrong with those crazy people) of the hated Rangers as well.  The big difference bt Crosby and Ovechkin is that they play on losing teams (terrible teams) and there is very little game pressure allowing them to play veteran player minutes that they wouldn't if their teams were in the playoff races.  The others are in the middle of tight playoff races and can't use the old "Peyton Manning throw it all over and learn method" the Colts and Cowboys (Aikman) used in their first year.  Sure it's a football tie in, but it makes sense.  This is why I have been hesitant to even give my (pseudo) vote to Ovechkin.  Right now I'm a little biased as well, but I have him edging out Svatos so far.  If Marek can improve his defensive game (which is starting to pick up) and he effectively plays on the penalty kill, his numbers should grow faster due to the increased ice time.  Right now he still plays around 7 minutes less per game then the other big names in the race.  Yet he still has 8 game winning goals and a few shootout tallies as well.  Meanwhile the Pens and Caps are the second and third worst teams in the entire league.  Svatos has helped his been the difference in 8 of the Avs 27 wins thus far.  So it can be said he's a huge factor in the ultimate stat, not the Peyton Manning stats.  I truly think this needs to be a part of the vote in the NHL as it ties in MLB MVP races.  It makes perfect sense to me at least.

they should create a new award, the M.I.S. award Most Impressive Stats, that way the truly deserving MVP's will get that award and the A-Rods of the sports world can get the MIS and everyone will hopefully be happy.Spoon I also agree that in determining the ROY and for that matter MVP's as well a good deal of consideration should go to how well the candidate's team is doing that year, there's a big difference between putting up numbers on a shitty team with no pressure to someone with similar but myabe a tad lesser stats on a playoff bound, pressure almost every night team.

I remember when the Devils beat the Sens in the Eastern Conference Finals a couple years ago. Their reaction was the oddest I've ever seen. It's like everyone just stopped as soon as time expired. Players who were on ice just fell down and laid there for a bit. Everyone on the bench just sat there like they couldn't believe it. It was the most depressed I've ever seen any team in any sport at any time. The Buffalo Bills had more dignity after their 4th Super Bowl loss.

Those fucking Sabers are one hell of a tough team flying really low under the radar right now.  They also may have the best rookie goalie, not NY like most here probably think.  Check out Miller's fucking awesome record and stats.  They're right up there with Lundqvist currently, and we'll see who ends the season better.  Drury is leading the team up there well.  Dark horse for the Eastern Conf right now that I should put some money on!!  I like this team a lot.  Now just imagine if they held onto Satan! <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" width="647" border="0"><tr><td class="HEADLINEGRAPH">1</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="left"><a href="http://www.nhl.com/players/8468685.html">HENRIK LUNDQVIST</a></td><td class="S1139396004442">NYR</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">38</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">23</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">7</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right"> </td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">6</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">1074</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">79</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">2.12</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">995</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">.926</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">2</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">0</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">1</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">0</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">2,239:17</td></tr><tr><td class="HEADLINEGRAPH">2</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="left"><a href="http://www.nhl.com/players/8468011.html">RYAN MILLER</a></td><td class="S1139396004442">BUF</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">26</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">19</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">7</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right"> </td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">0</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">764</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">57</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">2.18</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">707</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">.925</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">0</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">0</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">0</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">0</td><td class="S1139396004442" align="right">1,571:54</td></tr></table>

Hell yeah man, this is gonna be a dogfight straight till April.  All we need is a solid goalie  and Moreau to come back healthy and I think Edmonton has a strong chance at getting seed in the dance, but goddamn every team in the Northwest is tough; Mikka has been a forcefield this year.

Avs look good after the break, 2-0 with a shutout for Abby.  They're only one fucking point off the pace for the lead in the division (toughest division in hockey right now).  They look deep for a cup run as well.  They've gelled nicely.

if you want to be successful in the playoffs don't get Cujo, he is the

playoffs.

i woulden't be suprised to se both of these goalies on different teams

he could handle a starting role for cheap, and the Aves have Budaj who
shows a lot of promise.  who knows how Jose will recover from a
broken Heel.  thats a big injury.

I went to the last Sabres/Caps game and was pretty blown away by Ovechkin. I was during preseason, too, but I had to do a lot of breath-holding and nailbiting whenever Ovechkin got the puck. The weird thing was that the Sabres are an incredibly fast team, and the only Sabre that could keep up with him was Afinogenov (who was, not coincidentally, Ovechkin's linemate during the lockout)

In all, NHL teams played to 91.7% of capacity.     "We canBt thank our fans enough for the record support they showed," Commissioner Gary Bettman said.  "For all our Clubs, a terrific season was made even better by the enthusiasm and encouragement our fans displayed night after night. We are deeply appreciative." By attracting sellout crowds of 21,273 to the Bell Centre for each of their 41 home games, the Montreal Canadiens established a League single-season, single-team attendance record of 872,193.  The Canadiens eclipsed the previous mark of 861,072, or 21,002 per game, which they set in 1996-97. The Canadiens, Calgary Flames, Colorado Avalanche, Detroit Red Wings, Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, Minnesota Wild, New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators, Philadelphia Flyers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks played to 98% of capacity or better over the full season. The Avalanche sold out each game at 18,007-capacity Pepsi Center, extending the NHL's longest current sellout streak to 480 games, including playoffs. The streak began in November, 1995, during the teamBs inaugural season in Denver.     Twenty-four of the 30 NHL clubs finished even with or ahead of their 2003-04 performance.  The top gainers were the Pittsburgh Penguins (+33%), Carolina Hurricanes (+27%), Calgary Flames (+16%), Tampa Bay Lightning (+15%), Nashville Predators (+10%), Buffalo Sabres (+10%), Ottawa Senators (+10%), Boston Bruins (+7%) and San Jose Sharks (+6%).</td></tr></table>

Mundo, Dion and Staal should have definitely been there.  However, I think Spezza and Tanguay were much more deserving overall bc of their defense vs that of Crosby, not to mention the maturity difference.  At the time Sid really didn't deserve it.  Yet he definately deserved it more than at least 5 or so players that did go.

in it.ÿ Ask yourself how many Yankee/baseball fans who actually watch or care
once they're out.ÿ The NFL is the best with this, but hell they only play once a
week so how hard is it to get our attention (especially with the parity and how
well the league is run).ÿ The Stanley Cup playoffs are quite possibly the hardest
fought in all sports.ÿ This of course is an opinion and impossible to prove, but
what other option is close.ÿ The NBA postseason is a joke an boring as hell.ÿ The
MLB postseason nowÿalmost always the same core group of teams and it too
can put you to sleep.ÿ The NFL postseason is the only thing close and I'd
venture to say once a week for a few weeks doesn't topÿhaving to win four
seven game series over the course of almost two months.ÿ I love both leagues,
but the Stanley Cup run is second to none.

I agree--I can't wait for the playoffs to start and my team (the Caps) have been
out since Dec. There isn't anything more exciting to watch in sports than playoff
hockey.

I just like watching hockey more so than other sports.  Why?  It tends to be a lot more fast paced than mainstream sports and it just makes it a lot more enjoyable to watch.

Finger, 26, spent the entire season with Lowell of the American Hockey League, compiling three goals and 20 assists for 23 points in 70 games. He led the team with 116 penalty minutes and ranked third in games played. Finger was Colorado’s 11th selection (240th overall) in the 1999 Entry Draft. Wolski, 20, finished third in the Ontario Hockey League scoring race with 47 goals and 81 assists for 128 points in 56 games with the Brampton Battalion. The league's top scorer since Christmas, Wolski was named OHL player of the month for four consecutive months (December-March). He helped the Battalion clinch first place in the Central Division and advance to the second round of the playoffs. He began this season with the Avalanche, recording two goals and four assists in nine games before being sent to his junior team on Oct. 26. Wolski was Colorado’s first selection (21st overall) in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. Both players will practice with the team starting today and be available to play in the first round against the Dallas Stars. </td></tr></table>
