This dude should shut his pussy-ass mouth and get off the fucking ice like the rest of the 40-year-olds who the game has passed by. Good riddance and I hope all of your stats get eclipsed by Euro players in half the time it took you to accumulate them.

This dude has done more for the game of hockey than most. If anyone is a "douchebag" its YOU.

I saw the highlights. I think this can put to rest the Ovechkin vs Crosby debate, cuz from what I saw Crosby owned him. That goal and assist were beautiful. Crosby sure does like to send that waterbottle into the air! What a backhand.

Dion Phaneuf
http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/players/...ame=nhl-flames
Assets
Hits everything that moves. Owns a big shot from the point and isn't shy about unleashing it. Displays all-around ability.
Flaws
Must continue to improve his defensive-zone coverage, which isn't terrible but could use more work. Can be a little too exhuberant at times.
Career potential
Franchise defenseman.

I havn't seen him play once this year but he's talked about quite often around here when Crosby and Ovechkin are mentioned.
Considering its alot harder to play defense especially in today's game the media should give this guy more attention.
We look to have a pretty good rookie ourseleves up here. Alexander Steen. Only 8 goals so far but he's also probly our best penalty killer which is almost unheard of for a rookie. I doubt Crosby and Ovechkin get alot of time killing penalties.

Just watch him after he scores any goal.

Was just looking to get a comparison and see how Malkin is doing in the SuperLeague.. His numbers look as good as Ovechickens.. I know it's a low scoring tough league..
Malkin Numbers
2005-2006
25 games - 13 goals ; 13 assists
Ovechkin Numbers
2004-2005
44 games - 15 goals ; 16 assists
Malkin Numbers
2005-2006
25 games - 13 goals ; 13 assists
Ovechkin Numbers
2004-2005
44 games - 15 goals ; 16 assists

The biggest mistake was not leaving enough money to keep Fluery up here this year..
Even though Lemieux looks so average now a days.. It would be cool next year to see him play with Crosby and Malkin..

We have young guys like Ryan Whitney who finally made it up.. The Pens are so hesitant to give these guys a shot..

Just want to mention that I predicted the Pens would struggle on D long before the season began
Four words I never thought I'd ever see together.
Bryan Mcabe and Norris Trophy

It's the goalies.. All I can say is "soft goals" it's So frustrating.. Then they bring Fluery up just to tease me..

I think Fluery has a 1.45 GA and a .965 SP
