Friday Night Around The NHL

Underwoodfishersmash_medium-Ryan P. from Red Light Hockey Hockey Blog asked me a few Canuck questions this week. It was a part of a "30 team blogger questions in 30 days feature. Great idea!  I did the best I could.

-NHL.com makes it's case for Crosby, Ovechkin and Henrik Sedin winning the Hart trophy. Cool stat from that article: Out of Alexandre Burrows' 35 goals scored this past season, Hank assisted on 23 of them.

-The Blues keep making adjustments. Today they hired former Canucks goalie Corey Hirsch as their goaltending coach. Don't teach Halak that stand-up style, Corey! It doesn't work anymore!

-There are some great blooper clips at NHL.com from 2009-10, including Mikael Samuelsson's flutter shot over Steve Mason. Haha, do that again, Sammy.

-Today the NHL competition committee agreed on a new rule where referees will call major penalties on players who deliver hits to the head. The NHL's board of governors will have the final say on whether or not this rule passes....and they will pass it. Does this rule count if Semin slaps somebody?

-Sergei Fedorov faces foreclosures on 2 homes in Bloomfield Hill outside of Detroit. A. Who cares? B. Stay in Russia, Sergei. The mob will protect ya! C. Ask for money from Anna Kournikova..or not

-Ryan Johnson and several Canucks are

Star-divide

waiting in line to deal with Mike Gillis.

-Joe Sakic aiming for a job in Avalanche management. (Denver Post)

-Did you hear that new Jackets coach Scott Arniel fired both long-time assistant coaches a couple days ago? What a badass.

-New Devils coach John MacLean says he is going to "bring back Devils hockey." Zach Parise hopes that is an aggressive offensive style. Hmmm..is it even possible for the NJ to play a more offense? Wouldn't that be an identity crisis?

-Scott Niedermayer will never be Canuck. The OC Register reports it's "Anaheim or nothing" for him, as his family is comfortable there. Both Niedermayer and Teemu Selanne have to make up their minds about playing by draft day. No f*cking around this time. I expect both to retire.

-The Hurricanes will have 11 picks in the Draft, the most of any team. The Islanders and Oilers each have 10 picks.

-Mike Fisher and Carrie Underwood will marry this summer despite what the tabloids say. Hey Mike, I dare you to cheat on her. C'mon man, it's only a truck.

Here are 10 free-agent right wingers that, if your team signs them, shouldn’t ruin your week.

Sounds like he’s real confident in these bunch. lol

by marcness52 on Jun 19, 2010 2:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

Really out of those 10, I think Afinogenov is the only player I wouldn’t hate being on the team. However, he’ll probably want a huge raise after his 61 point season and who knows if he’ll be able to duplicate that.

by marcness52 on Jun 19, 2010 2:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

No Colby Armstrong??? I’ll take him.

by Sean Zandberg on Jun 19, 2010 2:25 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don’t really know much about him since he plays in the East.

by marcness52 on Jun 19, 2010 11:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

I’d take Colby too. He’s a solid 2-way player.

My Question...

…Is Johnny Boychuk still a free agent and why?

I can hope that this has something to do with the Canucks, can’t I? The guy played for $500,000 last year, but has put up huge numbers in the AHL and has some Experience in the Bigs, so I think someone should be able to scrape together a reasonable looking offer for the kid, yeah?

by Thursday on Jun 18, 2010 9:22 PM PDT reply actions  

I agree. That kid would be a very nice asset to any defense. Maybe he’s thinking he’ll get more $ by going to July 1 than by resigning with Boston now. If so, he’s undoubted right.

My hopes exceed my expectations

I would mind

getting Boychuk.

by Chuckles Canuckles on Jun 19, 2010 5:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

Why is that? A little rough defensively and he needs to work a bit on his temper, but huge numbers in the AHL (including being named Defenseman of the Year for 2008-2009) and a pretty good season as a call-up for Boston this year. He’d certainly be a third pairing guy until he proves otherwise, especially if he’s at $750,000.

by Thursday on Jun 19, 2010 9:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

Oh shit

that is supposed to say “wouldn’t mind”. Sorry.
