 | Some Trenchant Observations |
 defenestrate writes "Well, the Avs-Oilers game just ended (need you ask who won?). What did we learn?
1.) Outshooting a team does you no good if your shots are all from the perimeter.
2.) A healthy Peter Forsberg can beat the Oilers single-handedly (perhaps he pretended Conklin was Salo...or Corey Schwab). Seriously, 5 goals in 2 games against the Oil?
3.) Ryan Smyth would have made a great soccer player (he already has the hair).
4.) How many minutes did Big Georges play? 2?
5.) It would do no good to put a helmet on Kerry ("Hairy") ("Fairy") Fraser at this late date. Irreversible synapse damage has already occurred.
6.) The Oil's power play sucks so fiercely, it should be named Lewinsky.
7.) Aebischer is tied for the most wins, and among that group has the least amount of losses. No All-Star game? Bite me.
8.) Forsberg has more multiple-point games than anyone in the league - and has done it in 24 games. Keep calling me an apologist - you'll be playing golf, I'll be going to playoff games.
9.) Boy, Raffi Torres' face gets red! Anyone checked his diastolic numbers lately?
Sorry if I seem more misanthropic than usual - I am awaiting a verdict on whether or not I will need neck surgery (car accident - fortunately, the other guy's fault).
Let's pick up the pace on here, and get some dialogue going, or I'm going to be forced to do something drastic. Those of you who know me well know exactly what I'm talking about.
D-Strate"

(User Info | Send a Message) | | Other than his penchant for injuries he is the most dominant player in the league. I'm not entirely convinced that he doesn't just decide he needs a vacation in the middle of the season sometimes. No matter how much time he misses in the regular season he's always there for the playoffs. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | Iggy has 5 goals in two games against phoenix, and i think phoenix is the better defensive team.
I still think Forsberg's way better, but defending my team... its this thing i do. |

Don't tug on superman's cape, don't spit into the wind, don't pull the mask off the old lone ranger and you don't mess around with Jim
Never play pool against a guy with the first name of a city
Never date a woman with more tattoos than your mother(tough for some of you I am sure)
Last but not least.....never trust a word Bobby Clarke says when he is talking about trades

(User Info | Send a Message) | 10.) I think I've figured out a problem with some of the younger players today. Aside from their composite sticks being complete and utter CRAP, I'm noticing too many of the younger players use sticks that are actually a bit longer than they should be using. While it gives them a little extra "reach", they have little-to-no shot at any pucks that come right at them and not their stick. This is slowing the game down as much as the interference. This is clearly a failure traceable down to the younger levels of play and coaches and trainers not doing their jobs.
11.) While it's nice to see the high-sticking has toned down some (possibly also related as to why fighting is back up again), butt-ending and spearing has no increased. League really, really needs to start calling those 100% of the time, no exceptions.
12.) Penalty shots are a load of crap and might as well be taken out of thr rule book altogether because they're not EVER called correctly. The few I have seen called so far this year all seemed to be borderline calls, but yet the officials will completely refuse to call them when it's blatantly-obvious and a by-the-book definition. If you're not going to do them right, just take them out of the book altogether because right now they just irritate fans because they're not called correctly.
13.) Whoever did the rosters in NHL 2004 is apparently a huge Kings fan, because Jason Allison plays like a god in it and scores on nearly every shot he takes.
14.) Upon further review the Stars 3rd unis still really suck.
15.) The Blues are in big, big trouble if they don't win it this year.
16.) In relation to #1.), the shot from the point with a deflection in front of the net is a lost art and died the day Dino Ciccarelli retired. Guys still can do it, and some are decent at it, but nobody picks them out of midair quite like that anymore. Which is why shots from the perimeter no longer yield like they used to. Instead guys now rely on wide bodies screening the net, and it obviously doesn't work as well.
