Does NJ not have a rep?

Elias has been tearing it up. Do any other teams not have reps? Also didn’t there use to be a rookie game?

I thought W'peg was the only team w/o a rep

Speaking of rookies Craig Smith looked amazing in the relay. I was just like Datsyuk is so good, and then when Smith came out, I kept thinking don’t mess up, but after Smith was halfway through I was thinking I wish I could see his and Datsyuk relay side by side because Smith was fast around those pylons.

Yeah. But really, no one wants to get hurt or hurt anyone. So Shea shaved right before the game.

Weber is +2 despite no points. Tied for the +/- lead for team Alfie. Am I grasping?

The difference between Elliot and all the other goalies is 3 goals.

A little. Rinne vs Thomas would’ve been much better.

I'm gonna be unpopular here, but...

Rinne’s first half of the season didn’t deserve it.

Rinne’s first half of the season October and November didn’t deserve it.

Which is when the voting is done. And it was true last season too.

I would say his first quarter of the season didn’t deserve it. His second quarter did deserve it. But the cumulative result…didn’t deserve it

of course. Rinne vs anyone would be better.

Brian Elliott is an NHL-average or slightly above average goalie having a very good year. His numbers will go down again. Maybe not this season, though.
