I think Cnanada should win about 20 medals, but since the team usually chokes I will go with 15.  \n\nAs long as we get the hockey gold who cares about the rest of the events.

Should have been in the hockey section but I will answer it anyways Their special-team units are good. maybe injuries. It still early in the season.

Good point, this rookie class this year was the best for a long while. The Calder Trophy is given to "the player selected as the most proficient in his first year of competition in the National Hockey League." \n\nIn my opinion, Crosby should be second best for a couple reasons. \n\n1) He was one of 7 players that reached 100 points this season, and keep in mind that he played 131 minutes less than Ovechkin throughout the whole season, more than two games. \n2) Each player did not have as great a supporting cast as Lundquist and Phaneuf, who excelled with teams including Jagr, Straka, Iginla and Kiprusoff. \n\nCrosby was labelled the whole year as the next Gretzky, facing the best defenders every night. Veterens got udner his skin, he often lost his temper, and was on one of the worst teams in the NHL playing in the worst arena in the NHL, but still managed to produce. \n\nCrosby definately deserves to be the second best rookie.\n\nHope that helps.

A lot of things depend upon the answer you get.\n\nWhat are the categories?\nIs it a roto league? \nPoints league? Head to Head?\n\nHow many goalies are on your roster? \nAlways keep at least one backup in case of injury.\n\nFor the sake of argument, keep starting your primary goalies and see how your team is progressing. There's a lot of time left in hockey, 5 months. Don't make rash decisions too early.

I watched the game last night with the coyotes I think that SJ was playing better but just not putting the puck in the back of the net many great scoring Chance but not many goals. Cujo has also has a 30-7-0 record against the sharks so I don't see a change in that unless the sharks step it up a notch. I like what I saw of the sharks but if they want to win they need to keep crashing the net and stop with the bad turn overs. also stop giving away odd man rushes. As for the chances of making the play-offs not to good a lot of teams in the running will have to drop the ball for this to happen. Go Leafs and Canadians and ottawa :)

Well, depends who's playing well and when.\n\nBut after wathing the Sharks-Oilers series, it's clearly Shawn Horcoff.  He's an all-round threat.  Plays defence, wins face-offs, kills penalties and scores clutch goals.  I love Horcoff and I don't think he gets the respect he deserves.\n\nTop ten underrated players IMHO:\n1.  Shawn Horcoff (Oilers)\n2.  Daniel Briere (Sabres)\n3.  Samuel Pahlssen (Ducks)\n4.  Jason Smith (Oilers)\n5.  Mike Fisher (Senators)\n6.  Derek Roy (Sabres)\n7.  Scott Hannan (Sharks)\n8.  Andrei Markov (Canadiens)\n9.  Olaf Sapryken (Predators, I think?) (former Flame anyway)\n10.  Fernando Pisani (Oilers)\n\nThere's probably lots of others too, but I want these guys on my team...

Goalie: Patrick Roy\n\nDefence: Ray Bourque, Nicklas Lidstrom\n\nForwards:  Gretzky, Luc Robitaille, and Gordie Howe

I would have to say worse.\n\nI was quite impressed with their performance this year - other than the pitiful, toothless display in round 1 however;\n\nJagr is still the best player in the game and I think he will be next year too.  But, I believe they don't have a lot of space under the cap.  Meaning that they can't get many new players to put around Jagr.  \n\nLundquivst was good this year, but then, will he be able to keep it up next year?  He didn't put up much of a fight against the Devils...

No 2 line pass good.\nSmaller pads great\nGoalies not being able to handle puck.   bad\nI like the rough play so the clutch grab is where most of my fav. players made a living. I like the enforcers and the fights. Not Sorry about it. Give me a good Goon game and I am happy. I don't like the euro no check leagues.

OK what you end up with is a 5 on 3. Of course the goalie can be pulled and make it 5 on 4 with an empty net but that's not likely to be done unless total desperation. So anyway say you have two men sitting already and then get yet another penalty. Well then that player sits in the penalty box BUT his penalty minutes don't start until one of the other guys leave. So say a goal is scored in a 5 on 3. Well now the one is out BUT it is still a 5 on 3 with the start of the last guy's penalty. Of course they always get out of the box in the order they went in. Now I've played hockey video games and had about 2 or 3 guys waiting to serve penalties one time but that's just because I am a violent style player who goes around hitting everyone for no reason and get in trouble for it.

Are you kidding, Moon? The Buffalo Sabres have been my team since their inception. I was only 6 when they made their NHL debut in 1970. Gilbert Perreault was my childhood hero growing up in those snowy Buffalo winters I recall so fondly. Erm, those same winters become less fun as one ages, I can tell you. lol...\n\nAlthough I've not lived there in many a winter I remain steadfastly loyal to the Sabres and have thoroughly enjoyed this exciting comeback season and playoffs -- and we're not finished yet! Although we lost to favoured Ottawa last night, we're still up 3-1 in the series and I believe we'll finish them off on Saturday (Monday at latest).\n\nAs for who their best players are, please bear in mind that these talented young Sabres are a team with a capital T. They are something of a no-name cast who outwork, outskate and outhustle every team they face. I adore this club! The consensus best players are: Ryan Miller (their exceptional rookie goaltender), Daniel Briere (co-captain), J.P. Dumont (Briere's linemate and close friend), Jochen Hecht (3rd member of that line and the team's best defensive forward), Chris Drury (the other co-captain), Maxim Afinogenov (best and fastest skater and playmaker) and their younger future star players like Tim Connolly, Ales Kotalik, Derek Roy and Brian Campbell. I'm leaving players out because, by rights, I should just name the entire team. It's just an amazing group of players (and coaches) who get along great and support each other on and off the ice. I LOVE this freaking team and, baby, we are going ALL THE WAY!\n\nLET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!! \n\nP.S. Thank you for asking! :)

Actually they are all very good goaltenders, some just play for not so great teams. I would drop Aebischer simply because Huet has been very impressive lately, and is probally going to continue to get the majority of the starts.
