CherryCokes 12/06/11 10:27:00 PM #451:	Any hockey fan with half a brain could have told you that Rask was a risky start tonight. Back-to-back after an emotional win in Pittsburgh, plus 1300 or so miles of travel? They didn't come out flat, at least, but that had the makings of trap game all over it (and they still probably should have won, or at least gone to OT) -- "Occulams razor says you are scum" - masterplum <cite>CherryCokes posted [p:492498] in Board 8 NH...

ALL THE TIME. They don't let up. Or at least they didn't against us, and it showed. We were very flat, and it seemed like we didn't bring the energy that was required to match Boston.

TheOceIot 12/07/11 8:55:00 PM #493:	Yeah, from what hear about Karlsson (amazing offensively, awful defensively) he sounds like Mike Green 2.0 I don't know if the stats tell the whole story though. Fowler's +/- would indicate that he is far worse defensively than he is. He's more than adequate on the defensive side of things and getting better. He had some truly atrocious defensive partners last season like Lilja, Brookbank and Sutton. -- you just can't live in that negative way...make way for the positive day <cite>TheOceIot posted [p:492540] in Board 8 NH...

SmartMuffin 12/07/11 9:55:00 PM #497:	According to ESPN's player rating system, Teemu Selanne is the best player on my fantasy team so far this year, narrowly beating out Vanek and Ryan Smyth (who doesn't really count because I picked him up off waivers AFTER most of his goodness was done). Selanne is rated more than twice as effective as other players like Ovechkin and Joe Thornton. -- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - http://img.imgcake.com/smartmuffin/barkleyjpgde.jpg http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/ <cite>SmartMuffin posted [p:492544] in Board 8 NH...
