Went to the Rangers game tonight. Fucking awesome. Boomer said this morning Gaborik was gonna have a 2 goal game leading to a Ranger victory, well, turns out he scores four. Leafs looked terrible, a lot of terrible passes setting up good Ranger chances. Anisimov and Avery had great games, as did Henrik. Rangers scored enough goals tonight to last them a month lol.

So for the NHL All-Star game, it's not East vs West, it's Staal and Nicklas Lidstrom picking from all the all-stars and making their own team?

Yah and there is some special on tsn on the 28th I think when they are picking their teams.

Honestly as much as I respect lindstrom he's the last person I would think the NHL would want on TV picking a team lol.

I'm not really a fan of this idea, I think East vs West would be more exciting, but it'll be interesting to see how it works out.

Whose going to be the fat kid? Wellwood didn't get enough votes.

Eric Staal should pick his brother last for banter.

Nabokov to Detroit.

lol if they plan on playing him their cup chances are all but gone.

Evidence suggests that Nabokov was the only reason the Sharks made the playoffs during his tenure.

Evidence would suggest that Gaborik can only score against AHL teams.

I'm pretty sure the Isles and Leafs are NHL teams. Being bottom of the East isn't bad, if they were in the West they'd be fighting for last playoff spots.

Actually, they wouldn't have Ottawa and New Jersey to not make them look so bad.

Does sound like you listen to too much Brian Burke, that's no NHL team.

What next, you gonna try and convince me Tyler Bozak is a #1 centre too?

Nobody in San Jose is making such delusional claims.

Just to also point out, he would have to clear waivers. An according to Bob McKenzie's twitter "guessing there is something in deal to 'discouage' other teams from claimng nabby on waivers, but will it fly with NHL?"

Detroit would fuck with the system.

And because it's Detroit, Bettman will let them go unscathed.
