That is what's causing the problem, yes.

Easy there, big fella. There are plenty of teams that have 2nd line wingers better than fedotenko and they all have the same cap as the penguins.

And there are only about the same number of #1 goalies and #1 puck-moving, powerplay qb defensemen.Maybe that doomsday-18-teams-going-to-fold prediction wouldn't be a bad thing...

if Jokinen isn't a #1 centre, then there are only about 15 in the entire league.

Damn...

Come on Sanguinetti! One time!

Is the forum loading really slowly for anyone else?

But he's been awful almost every game he's played. Don't yell at me, I didn't say they were.

If I remember correctly, this was a gray area last season as well, and because of the precedent set in our first season we went with H2H and then wins and then goals for, with plans to clarify things in the summer. But then we forgot to deal with it in the summer, so I guess we will have to continue with the same tie-breaking format.

I don't get it. If they were in Operation Tank mode, why wouldn't they just run with Joseph?

Looks like it was for something big:"Pens 'Grab'orik a huge piece to the puzzle...."

IF he would just shut up and play.

These payroll numbers from hockeybuzz are awful. nhlnumbers.com seems to be far more accurate.

And they're still only a playoff bubble team...

That's pretty good stuff.

The authenticity is what makes him arrogant. If they weren't authentic then he'd just be a douche who is rubbing it in on purpose, which is a whole different bag of oranges. I really think he cares more about personal stats than the team doing well, and over-the-top celebrations after meaningless goals is a good indicator of that.I agree with everyone being let down by Crosby. I think that be playing a big part in the negativity towards him.

I agree. I don't like the way Crosby behaves sometimes, but AO does seem curiously invincible to criticism. I think he's selfish and cocky, but because of his difficulty speaking english people think it's funny because of the way he says it. At least that's my experience with people I know personally. They laugh at every interview he gives and think he's so awesome, but if you break his answers down into what he's actually trying to say, he often comes off like a dick. Also, the hand gesture he used in his latest altercation with crosby lowered my opinion of him.Hell of a player though.

....yeah....that's what I'm saying.Just can't take a compliment, can you.

ssshhhh, don't tell him Adam. Arp doesn't need any resources that could help him in the fchl.

Kunitz has played almost exclusively with getzlaf and perry this season.

I'd say playing withe Selanne and Mcdonald, or with Getzlaf and Perry is a pretty damn good situation. I know Crosby and Malkin are another level up, but it's not like he was in Atlanta playing with Rich Peverley and Erik Christensen.

Toronto goalies will be my death in the playoffs.

I don't know if there are any in Ottawa, but Tony Roma's has White in Winnipeg.

I thought that the penguins would have tried to get a winger that was better than Kunitz instead of Kunitz + a prospect.But maybe they did and there was nothing out there.
