I think Miller will probably be the starter...but, then again, the coach could have a rotation for the round-robin and then go with the hot hand if they make the medal rounds.

All the debate I was hearing had Quickie ahead of Miller, after Bylsma witnessing Quickie getting tossed after 1 period tonight, my money's on Miller too

Hrm...from the occasional chats I heard on NHL Network (XM) and on TSN here, it was still a toss-up between Miller and Quick.

The counterpoint was that since the Cup run, Quick has been sub-par by his standards and last season, his numbers during the season were pretty lousy. Miller played his head off for the Americans in Riot-City...so, they may go with that.

Dunno. I think USA is fine with either.

Still too soon to write the Stars off...as they are within spitting distance of the Wild and Cansucks.

That being said, your team is in a rebuild...so, it's expected too.

Yes, Fraser will REALLY help them stop 59 shot evenings where the goalie has to play unconsciously.

Dear Edmonton:

You have more #1 overall and high draft picks than the entire NHL put together. In order to get assets, you HAVE to move assets. So, if you need that #1 stud d-man, move one of the kids (i.e. Hall, Eberle, Yakupov, Nugent-Hopkins, Gagner) and MAYBE you'll get that D fixed. Trading pucks for low-end grinders and #6 d-men will NOT help.

YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG!!

Signed,
Amused Hockey Fan

Brilliant plan by Kevin Lowe. Bring in a defence man who couldn't crack the lineup of the team with the highest shots on goal in the league. Man is a genius.

When their offense dries up, it dries up.

They can't blame Coach Beaker Kompon for their issues now though.

Scrivens must be wondering who he ticked off in LA to be banished to NHL's Siberia: Edmonton...but, without some stops today, it would've easily been 9-0 for Boston.

I just watch the Oilers for comedy these days. I think Team Slovenia would beat them.

Hawks are playing inconsistent hockey. And if the Kings take them to OT, it's a guaranteed win for LA.

I'd take inconsistent hockey over downright horrible zero goals hockey

Ridiculous save by Fleury, a lot of outlets are calling it the best save of the year. Not the best angle though


And Neal's OT game winner was equally as beautiful, so much patience

Can't believe Tampa is even considering letting Stamkos play in the Olympics and worse, I can't believe Hockey Canada is considering taking him. The guy should be resting the extra 2.5 weeks and start playing after the break. Its a no brainer. Only 3 months since he snapped his leg.
