The media consensus seems to be that Niedermayer is a lock to make it, but that Chelios is not. I don't get it, IMO Chelios is about as sure a HOF lock as there is. 3 Norris trophies, a significant contributor on 3 Stanley Cup teams, and most playoff games ever. It just seems weird to me that...

Signing bonuses also involve the time value of money. Even if Clarkson paid his taxes in Ontario, 27 million today would be better than 27 million over four years.

The Star was able to get a picture of Lecavalier leaving his 10th big lunch of the day. A reporter overheard him his whisper to his agent "avec les oeufs en haut". Hockey experts feel this could be a critical clue to where he ends up.

Carlyle needs to play Kessel until his legs fall off.

ANYTHING can happen in the playoffs. Reimer is amazing, Kessel is amazing, Lupul is amazing, Kadri is pretty good, McClement is pretty good, and Phaneuf is pretty good. If the rest of the team can hold tight, we have a shot every night. We made the playoffs!! Who would have guessed at the...

Gunnarsson has been absolutely terrible. He needs to be benched if this keeps happening.

No Penalties yet almost halfway into the game. Huh.

Of course they think that, that's exactly what's going on. That doesn't mean they aren't more than willing to take part, but almost all hockey players are aware of the health risks associated with playing professional hockey. To claim otherwise would be to imply hockey players are really dumb...

No it just assumes basic physiology and psychology. You can train yourself to respond better in stressful environments, but only a psychopath can remove fear entirely when they are in a violent situation where serious bodily injury can happen at any moment.

Hockey is a physical sport where fear can play a role. If players are scared of the other team, they will play with heightened stress hormones in their system, which will affect their effectiveness. My bet is that enforcers create a sense of comfort for the skilled players, which allows them...

Fixed that type for you  ;)

I got chills too, even a little choked up. At his peak Bob Cole is one of the best commentators I've ever heard, in any sport.

From what I understood of that post, our failure as fans of a (recently) bad team was to be fans, since by not quitting on them we sapped the team of motivation. That's a lot to put on someone who watches guys play hockey from a remote location.

There is no way that was goaltender inferference. That's cow pat.

I agree with pretty much everything you wrote BB, except I don't think we're getting Kessel for less than 7 million. 6 million is not the market rate anymore for a ppg player with a top-5 wrist shot.

MOTM: Reimer HM: Kessel

It's official, MOTM Reimer

MOTM Kessel HM JVR

"And they lose three against TORONTO?" Someone get Healy a copy of the standings. Man, you would think the Leafs didn't pay him millions of dollars the way he slags them.
