Relying on Markov was sheet stupidity. So was re-signing him for so much money. Can't blame poor performance on his absence when it was expected well in advance.
Also, if your team is crippled by the loss of a player like Moen then it was already a lost cause. He's a solid depth player, nothing more.
Lavvy has no place in the Adams discussion this year. He isn't even close to meriting a nomination.
The fact that the finalists the Pearson/Lindsay match the Hart trio also kills any complaint about Giroux being overlooked. How can you claim conspiracy from the writers when the players are in agreement with them?
The rule pertains to instigating in the final five minutes. There was no instigating.
Debris was thrown on the ice but I believe it was after Julien was tossed and the Bruins were assessed a bench minor for that. There is nothing in the rules about tossing the coach for such actions.
He had every right to be pissed on that one... the guy clearly lost the puck and the shot should have been negated.
However, I think this was my favorite moment of the trade... http://www.hockey-reference.com/boxscores/200702200TOR.html 3 on 13? To the likes of Chistov, PJ and York? Eeesh.
Minding your own business doesn't often equate to roughing calls against you.
Also consider that Horton is recently concussed and as such deserves more protection from teammates.
And Horton never actually threw a punch in that mess... just continually shoved Gleason and ragdolled him. Never once did his hands leave Gleason's jersey to throw a punch.
In 123 games he has 39 TDs and 4700 yards.
In 42 games Gronk has 37 TDs and 2600 yards.
Gronk matched Miller's output this season despite 5 fewer games.
Apparently the Pittsburgh media is unfamiliar with one Rob Gronkowski.

Fail. His cap hit has nothing to do with the buyout. You'd think a Canadian newspaper would know that much.

But I do watch college hockey so can throw those titles in the mix if you want.
Really hope there is more to that story but I fear the truth will never be known.
We are pretty good at celebrating though.

OHL. Niagara Icedogs.
Oh, and thanks for Rask. Proven a tad more effective than Raycroft.
It was cowardly but effective.

Can only imagine the outrage had the situation been reversed and it was Chara who sought out words with Ward who was minding his own business.
