Steve Yzerman caught a lot of heat during the decade he was captain of some team before they won some a cup-thinggy.
Whatever happened to him?
I guess those reporters were right, he was just a young gutless captain with no heart, just like Richard’s is.

Halak is 26 years old, and of the echelon of Vokoun and Bryzgalov

Only about 5 years younger, which to me makes him a franchise player, like that of Carter

Yeah, I just wouldn’t put Halak in the same tier as Vokoun by any means. Since the lockout, Vokoun’s ESS was .941, .931, .927, .935, .937, .919. Excluding a 4-start season, Halak’s ESS has been .906, .922, .933, .916.

Btw….sportscenter just ran its top ten playoff comebacks of all-time.

Our boys’ deal they did with Boston last year was #4. Should’ve been #2. I can’t take away what Frank Reich and the Bills did against the Oilers. But, they were better than Knicks/Pacers and Celtics beating the Lakers after being down by 24 in the Finals last year.

I did not think there could be a zanier series-winning goal than the Blackhawks in Game 6 of the 2010 SCF.

Bieska and the Canucks just proved me wrong.

I do feel bad for SJ (their fans must feel snake-bitten), but Vancouver thoroughly earned their spot in the SCF.

I’ll be pulling for them in the Final.

I mean I get they are expected to win…but making it to the conference finals to lose to the Blackhawks last year and the Canucks this year is hardly a failure IMO.

They definitely could have made this series more competitive by winning game 4 – they had LOTS of PP time early in the game and then had breakdowns of discipline in the 2nd period resulting in the trio of 5-on-3 opportunities for Vancouver (which all became goals). If I were a Sharks fan, I would have been furious and/or completely frustrated with the team after that game. And last night’s game could have been a win for the Sharks as well, either in regulation or in overtime (and the overtime winner couldn’t have been more flukey).

Still, I wouldn’t label them failures either – Chicago and Vancouver were/are quite good. (Maybe he meant “failure” in the sense of not getting past a WCF; in that case, he would certainly be right.)

Ah, well…better luck to both our clubs next year.

I frequently watch the history will be made commercial with this goal. It just makes me smile.

I tried to embed the Youtube video when we were talking about Richards. I think this flies in the face of everyone saying he doesn’t want to win hockey games.

Loved this goal.
