If you are a smaller guy and try to bully or foul your opponent that is an infraction and a penalty is called.
If you are a bigger guy and try to bully or foul your opponent there is no infraction because that's the way the NHL likes it and if you make extrieme money that makes you practically untouchable in many othe ways also.
So we take our courageous under weighted and under maned SENS Road team into Washington tonight to play Great "8", the newly minted Captain, with Semin and Green et al! Forgot Nik Backstom, he may be the best of the bunch!
#24 will bully Ovechkin...this is good!
Green comes late untouched...this is bad!
Saint-Pascal has to be the best goalie on this brutal ice!
Kovy has to show them who really is the best Russian in North America regardless of age!
Picard tells Carks...use me all the time on the break out!
Philippé tells the "Pup"...come all the way back to the front of the net and help me out...pick someone up!
This one is what they call a "Character Builder!" "Just win, Baby!"

Toughening Up!
The League is being allowed to "Toughen Up", the Officials are letting a lot more go...interference, stick work, "working" for position in front of the net, both ways, for the offence and the defence.
Against the bigger, better, elite teams, we simply are not strong enough, particularly on DEFENCE.
Wilson Street goes on about the goal tending...wake up! Look at the dangerous traffic in front of our net...tips, double deflections, open attackers, second and third rebounds...our guys never seem to have position on their guys! Then you have the clear break aways or the 2 and 3 on 1s...we don't have a Miller or a Thomas but even those guys would wilt behind our DEFENCE!
The reality is we are four (4) DEFENCEMEN short of a load! If our 3-4 pair was a stud pairing, Picard and Carkner could probably play 10-12 minutes against the 3rd-4th type lines but they don't they are playing 16-20 minutes a game, often against the second line...too much for your 5-6 pair. Erik "The Pup" Karlsson is a forward playing at defence and should have been converted like Alf when he showed some up side in Sweden years ago, he will not be a D-man in the NHL. Philippé Kuba, there is a reason he was available to us, people could not watch a man of his size and skill play that light every night...don`t kid yourself the attacking forwards know this also...Campy is OK but can`t help, he is just too small for defenceman in today`s NHL.
So Mr. Murray go out and get someone, maybe even two...for you sit at your peril...
And Gordie get off the goalies...they are what they are...your criticism is way over the top...and you are wrong so stop it!

"Zebra Mgmt!" Take Three.
It's Tuukka tonight in New York so we get Timmy in Ottawa.
Rangers get 4 straight power plays in the first period 'till they get a one (PP) goal lead.
The Big Bad Bruins, who seem to play perfectly clean against us are getting all that hooking and slashing out of their system tonight. Note: the Rangers only commit bench or flip the puck over the glass fouls at home! Note II a Ranger penalty killer just stole Chara's stick right out of his hands...no call according to the Boston announcer.
Bergeron hurt and back in...he 's all they got right now! He's out again for the night took a slapper on the wrist from Wideman!
Chara ordered up Satan (#81) from his Olympic Team...he's to play against us in Ottawa. No Lucic till later in the week I hope!
Redden just got smoked behind the Ranger net...Brashear had to go after the guy to defend #6.
Why is "Torts" in such a "knot" all the time? He's going to move ahead of the Habs into 7th place tonight...that's better than I picked 'em!
Thomas knew before the game "outside" that he was the "Yankee" goal tender. Let's hope it goes to his head...he's allowed but he is really starting to talk pretty "Big".
Getting back to the "Zebras" they have to protect Shannon and Kovy in particular because the Bruins will be snarly and Coach Julien, with Chara, can get stupid at times especially if he thinks he's going to get the calls his way against Ottawa.
CiCi, remember that "line change" delay...fake "time out" bullsh&t that Julien goes on with...get on the Zebras first shift!
Zebra one calls the Bruins with 6 to go to seal the deal but are foiled by a surprising shortie...now Wheeler just tied it...the best laid plans of mice and men...
Higgins wins it!

"Big Time Players!
For all you small town "Big Time Experts" on Wilson Street...enjoy the ride!
Was lucky enough to have been thrown on the same line with elite hockey players a couple of times over many years playing...been paired (teamed) with the best player in the field (not Tiger)playing golf...got to catch footballs from a quarterback who's arm was good enough to pitch for the Cincinnati Reds..."Trust me, Kovy makes everyone better!" He makes you feel like you are the better player...watch the "Pup" light up when he's on the ice with Alex...#65 thinks he's "Rush Man" the play maker.
Alfie brings effort and skill...but he's out...Jason is good but is not a leader...Kovy's pure natural skill is on display every night scoring or not...that's leadership...we now know we are going to win the "Shoot Out!" Let's call it the "Fisher Effect!"
So enjoy Alex but let's start to acknowledge him!

Ya just beat a big contender!
Like I told you guys, Kovy is so "Big Time" and so important to this team. I hope a lot of you "Experts" can finally see it!
Campy and Carks are a poor pairing, both -3 today, either bust 'em up or bench 'em!
Saint-Pascal didn't get many 3 goal leads with his old team but come on man...you are not taking enough shots in practice...just like a pro golfer it's a thousand balls after an injury!
Kelly's line...lovin' it!
The "Pup" getting caught does not try to get back into the play but picks up a winger like a back checker! WTF showed or taught him that!

"Broad Street!"
The Flyers should have beaten Boston and are playing pretty well again.
Briere missed a couple and will be looking to make up for it against us.
Philly will attempt to "Bully" the Pup, Erik, if we are going to dress him, play him with Carkner and let them play about 8 minutes each. Campy and Kuba might as well play 26 minutes just like #4 & #24.
If we are going to beat 'em it's in goal that is the difference!
CiCi quit trying to be a politician all the time...#26; #43, #27 was by far your best line at the end of the game the other night...Fish is a big boy he will do fine with #9; & #71. Cheech; Dono & Winchester are a good 4th line. And of course you have your first line of Kelly, Ruutu and Neil.
Generally we are not a great afternoon team so CiCi get out the "Fire and Brimstone" and have 'em ready to go for once!
Remember this is our home, no one takes any "Guff" cause you know they think they are tough on the "Road".
We are better than these guys!

The "Dreaded" half way mark!
Kovy is so "Big Time" and so important to this team a lot of you "small time experts" cannot see it...
Taking Picard from Carkner for any length of time shall be a catistrophic error! Plus we lose Carks as a functioning D-man!
For the Sun Commentor Expert...there is only two ways Regin/Shannon get top 6/PP minutes, either someone big gets hurt or you earn it...prior to our two big guys going down, everyone including you were ready to throw these guys out of the "Boat" but that's all water under the bridge now.
Saint-Pascal, you tease, guys who have seen him play a lot, say he has a much tighter game if he needs it...it's time man give us all ya got!
#17 should come off the #1 PP, he's not contributing enough, he's lost his offencive confidence.
Winchester is a functional 4th line center, nothing more don't stress the kid...Cheech is a functional 4th line winger, nothing more give the man a break...he's done!
Kelly was the best forward on the team for the first half the season...remember he's not out there with Kovy, he out there trying to cover a big line carying Ruutu and Cheech.
#4 and #24 what can you say "A+".
Brian Elliott our second starting goalie...not bad!
I said seventh or better, now we just have to bury the Habs as the Leafs are done!
Imagine a forth line...#11; #19; #18!
