and? doesn't make it any better. This video should be used to show players why they need to lift the damn puck.
I can't remember how many times I have yelled at the TV or at a game, saying the same thing.
Many goal scorers would have done the same thing simply assuming he had the goaltender beat. Besides, its an inter-team scrimmage. Watch Duchene break out with 30-40 goals this year and 80 pts

He is just mad that they gave up their best goalie in Varlamov and will find out soon enough that Vokoun is over the hill and way overpaid
Luckily for them, I think Neuvirth will step in and take the reigns from Vokoun this year, and its not like they had a choice since Varly didn't want to be in Washington. It was either lose him for nothing to the KHL or get picks, and picks they got.
This. Already got my tickets for the 10-14 game against the Sharks. Hopefully they'll make up for a disappointing season from the Angels.Can't wait to see both Selanne and Hiller back in action again. Hiller been out since start of January and Selanne been sitting on the fence whether to come back for another season up until like a week ago. Went to see our team practice over the weekend and the guys are looking sharp. I see a lot of new faces but also a lot of familiar faces who carried the Ducks to the playoffs last year.
To be fair, Vokoun is getting old. There's no telling how long he can keep his level of play. He's been the most consistently excellent goalie post lockout though.lol ... you've just lost all credibility.
Vokoun over the Hill? Really that is your argument? Vokoun, Neuvy and Holtby... yeah i'll take those 3 any time

Senators are in full rebuild but there are a few young players I'm anxious to see.
Watched the game against Toronto two days ago. We're taking on the Bruins tonight.
Haven't followed Vokoun too closely, but Miller and Lundqvist have both been ridiculous since the lockout...

I for one can't wait for Colorado fail to make the playoffs, finish towards the bottom of the league and give the capitals an awesome draft pick in a deep draft
All things aside... I am an Avalanche fan, and hope I am wrong
I think the Avalanche make the playoffs this year. We'll see. As I said in my first post, our entire future rests on Varlamov's hands right now, and there is no denying that fact. He clearly has the talent to carry us, just needs to stay healthy.
They always start strong though and then shit the bed midway through the season. It's sad. Any chance Doughty pulls up stakes and heads somewhere else?
Bruins look like they're holding something big, shiny, and silver. :awe:
They will see what every stanley cup winning team sees now...the best every team has to offer, every...single...game.
Good luck to you guys though! I was very happy Boston won it.
Hawks should be interesting this year. I don't expect the Vancouver games to be friendly at all.
Have they ever been?
On a side note, I'm surprised the Canucks only play the Bruins once this season... I was expecting at least 3 games.
The Sabres are going to be better this year. I don't see them taking the division from Boston, but they should make the playoffs before the second to last game of the season.
Just adding Richards makes a significant difference for potential performance though. Now we also have Penner with some chance to actually integrate into the team and being on a contract year and Gagne (despite his injury proneness). And more experience. It's a shame Kompon wasn't replaced and then we'd really be an unstoppable force. I just want this Doughty drama to be over. It's come too far down to the wire now.
