Agreed, two of my buddies went and played for the Goofs, my friends and I would head down to the Cities all the time and party with them. Believe me, these guys party and they have great benefits due to their "hockey player status". I was actually partying in Blarney's the year before they all got busted (yes, I was underage as well). This college and we're dealing with kids that are doing the same things we all did.

To me...this is a non-issue. Boys will be boys...they got minors, who cares. We all did. If it is true they tried to bolt, I still don't care as we all tried to bolt when the police showed up to a party. Again, this is a laugher as what else to the GFPD have to do, seriously. I bet this made the front page of the Herald didn't it? Now if one of the was blasted at the wheel, got into an accident and hurt somebody....entirely different deal.

Oh....I thought you were talking about this years incident.

What are you taking about "at chorney's house"?

Offseason...go figure. Is it me or are the gf police really cracking down the past 10-15 years. When I was in high school the und hockey team partied real hard....especially the Canadian guys. When police showed up at the hockey house they never got in trouble.

This kid was real good, awesome skater. Does anyone know if this was the kid that pulled the full speed spin o rama in the the title game (could have been the semi game too)? I've been trying to find it on YouTube.

No news huh?

I was...he put up good numbers this year, could have been the line he was on. Thanks for posting.

Very true....every squirrel finds a nut once in awhile. Guy is frustrating though....highest paid 4th liner in the league. Minny is going to fill that cap reduction nicely this offseason.

Dave, I know what you're doing. you come on this board to get a rise out of people....I get it. Yes they got hot at the end of the season, much of that probably had to do with them being a "put together team". Anyone who watched the playoffs that year realized that they were the better team in everyone of their series. That's all I was trying to say. I was more noting that the difference between a one and done format vs a seven game series is that the better team comes out on time much more often (almost always...real time). It had nothing to do with their regular season. The regular season is just a tool to seed for the playoffs...once the playoffs begin you pretty much throw out the regular season.

Agree on the skating piece....how does heatly still have a job, I'm a better skater than that guy.

That's a stretch, Elliott is solid but got much easier matchups being a backup for almost the whole year.

I definitely don't think the guy sucks....however that trade was a huge head scratcher. Both Elliot and halak were doing great for the blues. They gave up a ton for him.

Again Dave I will disagree with you. The kings were the best team in hockey that year....the fact they absolutely rolled through every series that year leads me to believe they were indeed the better team. I fully understand they were an 8 seed (from regular season seeding) however by the time the playoffs started....they were the best team in hockey. Again, back to my initial comment that the better team will always come out of a best of 7 game series.

Looks like the nhl really wants to see a game 7. Blues have opened up the game with 6 straight power plays....not one pp for the hawks yet

Bingo. It was just unfortunate and unlucky the Avs scored on that play.

The nhl refs are the best on the planet. For us college hockey fans we should realize that. Mistakes will be made. That's the great thing about playing a best of 7 series....the better team will always come out the winner.

I see. You're right the Avs writers have been whining as well. In the picture the puck hasn't crossed either....does anyone have the next frame?

What's wrong with that picture? I don't see offsides there. Not an Avs fan but the whining has to stop from all the minny writers. They got beat, move on.

That's easy.

Wow was Crawford out of position....tad aggressive if you ask me.

Very accurate. Seabrook got what he got....however to be compared to a guy like Cooke is not warranted.

Me too.....Friday night, a burger or two and some beers. This Hawks Blues series has been awesome.

Haha. Had backes not had his head down that's a clean hit ten years ago. Also, yes this mostly has to do with history.

Mine was 7-10 games, with an absolute minimum at 5 games. Now I think my initial prediction is low, those TSN guys seem to think he's in for a big suspension.
