Honestly don't know what kind of locker-room presence he is. Noboby really talks about him.

yeah i wouldn't buy into what the guys say anyway. you really can't know for sure either way unless you're in the room or around the team a lot.

Ill agree with you there, but it better be textbook obvious to get the call, though.

Are the Bruins worse than a 3.3% success rate (or something like that)? I doubt they are even close to that.

If it was shoulder to shoulder I don't think Rule 48 applies, but from the angles I saw there was head contact. A minor penalty seems okay, nothing more.

Meh. Detroit had a stranglehold on Euro scouting back in the day and were able to find all kinds of gems in the mid/late rounds. I'd be shocked if a player like Datsyuk or Zetterberg slipped through the cracks ever again.

We haven't won a game all season when trailing after two periods, and that includes lolshootout wins.

How pathetic.

yeah exactly. i mean for one, iirc i think they were both drafted as frail looking 150lbs-ish kids, so it was probably hard to project that they'd both add the kind of strength necessary to succeed in this league. and second, the league was very different back then, before the rule changes helped smaller skill players get by. idk if people running teams could have predicted that, which is why hook and hold behemoths were going high in the draft, and smaller skill players were being passed over.

yeah its been annoying. power play has been a problem all season though, Kaberle trade was made in large part to help the power play and they've been under 10% since then, pretty brutal.
