I wonder which NHL game to tune in on..

by Sjomin on Jan 15, 2011 6:55 PM EST reply actions  

It’s easy for me. Don’t have Center Ice and try to avoid atdhe.net for the most part. So Hockey Night on the TV and Bears on audio. Yahoo has CHI/NSH later.

Normally I don’t complain about Don Cherry’s comments. He knows more about the game than most of us ever will. Tonight he made it clear that Steckel meant to hit Crosby. But his point is lost on me. I noted how he doesn’t say Steckel intentionally gave him a shot to the head. I also don’t see how Steckel is obligated to avoid Crosby at all when he turns into Steckel’s path. Hats off to CBC for not showing the angle that shows Dave trying to side step Syd.

Eh, we’ll see. If people catch on to Carlson being on the shutdown pair it will help a lot. Skinner won’t put up ungodly numbers, he probably won’t even reach Pat Kane numbers, so a D is in play if Carlson can get up to 45ish points.
