Toews... legend.

Und didn't have a club team? I lived there almost my entire life and never realized that.

1st ballot legend.

The kings are scary. I know they were a six seed or something but they are so much better in the playoffs than the regular season. I think there was a 4x4 last night where doughty, kopitar, gaborik and muzzin were on the ice at the same time and dominated....then they showed the bench quickly and I realized how deep that team is. CHI is going to have a battle in front if them. I think that series is going 7.

Neither do I. Too tough to monitor, however, with how this world is shaping up nothing surprises me anymore.

Well, the first sentence was correct.

I have the kings tonight. 4-3.

Yeah we'll see. He may be getting a jumpstart on his schooling. I would be slightly shocked if he was the player they decided to bring in. However, I'm not sure whoelse they could bring (not knowing Gersich's school situation). I got on Wilkie early last year because his numbers were not impressive at all, then he went on tear towards the middle of the year. He finally cooled off towards the end of the year. I really do think another year of juniors would help him a lot.

Why is everyone so focused on the face. Many of you are imagining that type of (infrequent) injury happening to themselves I think. These guys don't show up to a normal 8-5 job. They are hockey players. Why not focus on cut resistant jerseys to protect critical ligaments. Maybe they should ban skate blades? Maybe they should mandate a new helmet that all players have to wear that better protects for concussions, it seems that is the injury causing the long term damage.

What he said.

So did Mitchell Mattson

You're probably right. Because it's "he said she said" no one truly know exactly what happened besides the little girl and the bullies. My initial point was that the parents messed up by throwing their daughter on FB and it going viral. She will forever be "that girl". I feel bad for her.

Dave, you have never played hockey.

I kind of like oilers as well. Has meaning, isn't owned by 100 other schools. Hmmm.

I more than agree with with you.

Saw this on fb....I swear some people aren't busy enough. I was just reading through the fb post and people are debating this vs that and I'm thinkng to myself, what is this world coming to? I swear, this country is more racially charged than any other time in my life (born in '84). Every other day it's race this and race that. I just can't remember a time in my life where the race card had been pulled more. People want chance, but this is making it worse. Those kids weren't trying to be racist.

Where do you think I got that info

Agree 100%, I remember Schroeder in HS....wow! His tenure at MN was pretty vanilla.

They're both a lot....compared to the average NHL defensemen. Suter sure did get a nice contract, timing is everything. FYI, Seabrook has a salary of $5M this year (cap hit of $5.8M) and Suter has $12M this year ($7.54M cap hit).

Seabrook does have a nice contract though. He is also very similar to Suter, as a player, in my mind.

I'm sure Lucia and York dislike the agreement, they both live in the two hockey hot beds in the us.

Agree 100%.

I was never a kid who got teased a lot, but I got some ribbing from buddies/teammates, etc. When I was in grade school I would get into fights every so often with other youngsters who I didn't get along with. I guess it's about sticking up for yourself. I think this girl needed some motivation on how to stick up for herself, there is a reason why she is being bullied while other are not. Bullies suck, but there will always be bullies. Her parents will not always be around for her so someone must teach her how to live in this world. I am not trying to give any life lessons but it is apparent to me that this girl needs some help, not for her parents to post her crying all over the internet. Bullies feed off that stuff. The teasing may go away but she will always be "that girl" in Fosston. This just creates more attention.

At 8....yes, maybe even earlier. I honestly think how one is able to handle these situations is part of survival mode. Also, I have been picked on before...more than once and I was able to handle it. It's how you carry yourself. Some people get picked on others don't. The people who get picked on seem to have that problem for most of their life...at least from what I've seen. Her parents need to teach her how you handle these situations. If I would have ran crying home from school, my pops would have sat me down and taught me how to handle the situation. I should rephrase that, my father DID teach me how to handle these situations before they even occured. Again, I am no expert on what it feels like to be bullied, but I have seen many kids/adults bullied before and it seems to follow them. You have to stick up for yourself at some point in time. As to the second point....bullying doesn't ever go away.

Ditto. They definitely have figured out Crosby's only weakness.
