H/t red army line, whose FanShot I deleted because I wanted the actual video of this up.

Is anyone else only seeing a white box?

I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.

Do you have Noscript and/or Adblock running?

I use Noscript, but videos normally come up fine. There’s no icon to allow a script to run, just a flat white box.

Only YOU can prevent idiots from commenting!

I only have a white box too (though running the Adblock add-on on Firefox). I guess if it doesn’t come up you can find it here.

I ran FF in safe mode and still nothing. Using 3.5.6 here. And it does come up in IE.

Saw that last night. I don’t know if I’d go quite that far just yet. Unless what he really meant was playmaking/passing center. That would be correct. :-)

I’d still give the playmaker/passer title to Thornton or Sedin. That’s not a knock on Backstrom.

Backstrom, Thornton, Sedin, and Crosby are in the running.

I would have to give it to Sedin right now. All 4 play with amazing wingers; however, Sedin is bringing up the play of Daniel and Burrows so much it is crazy.

It is rly close, but i would order it 1) Sedin 2) Backstrom 3) Thornton 4) Crosby. But all only seperated by inches. Sedin heightens the play, Backstrom is extremely dynamic, Thornton can dish like no other, Crosby is very good scorer and very good disher

Still waiting for someone to draft Paul Newman. . .
