I, personally, would suggest playing at least one year at the high school level. Regardless of how bad the team or teams are, it still helps you get better used to playing 14-16 year-olds, and can help build things like physicality that you wouldn't be able to develop as easily on a travel team. That's just my advice, but in the long run, playing high school for a season would help you. Read more...
Well, I think it would depend on what edge you play on and what your personal style is. Any information on those two things would help determine if that would help you or not. Read more...
Yeah, he needs to accept that officiating is going to suck no matter where or when you play. Even then, the Ranger's didn't really have all that strong of a Powerplay until game 7. And if he was upset about getting no calls against the rangers in one of their games, look at the Ducks-Wings series. That happened to the Ducks in game 6, and they still kept playing and only lost the game in OT. Give it a break Ovechkin, no ref is going to be perect, and live with the fact that your team got outplayed. Read more...
On the subject of the Ducks, we also have guys named Getzlaf, Perry, Selanne (hopefully), Hiller, Fasth, and all those other guys who would probably make it if they got a shot to. Of the worst pick, probably Fleury. Considering how he's playing right now, him making an all-star game anytime soon is a stretch to say the least. Nice guesses though. Read more...
Well, first we got to make it through game 7 against Detroit. But if we can win that one, then I wouldn't be surprised to see them go all the way. They obviously have the skill and the depth to compete with any team in the league. Read more...
Really, it depends on your foot shape and then comfort preferences. Out of any skate, I would probably pick Bauer, but between those two, I'd go with Easton. Graf makes some good skates, but if you're looking for best speed and control, Easton would be the best choice. Read more...
Yeah, Toronto will have to get their act together if they want to surpass Boston this series. Boston is tougher and more skilled as a team, and Toronto's pretty much in the worst possible scenario right now. It'll probably be a pretty good series as rivals, but I think it'll only go 5-6 games at most. Read more...
I was super disappointed with their selections, but I'm all for rooting on Belesky and Yip. Lets try and get one of those guys on the cover, cause if the only stars are Malkin and Datsyuk, then I think it's designed to help them win it. Read more...
I saw this picture on Twitter. This is a picture of the shot that was ruled off from the Jets/Caps game, and I was thinking, shouldn't that have been a goal??
Any thoughts from anybody who agrees? Read more...
