Evening all
Here’s to hope the lads can cap off a perfect sporting Saturday and make me 4 for 4!
Drifting slowly, lower and lower, until we reach the front row in Los Angeles come June...
It’s on you, then, Thierry! No pressure, man. ;o)

Survey
(repeated from the preview comments):
I need to start bugging every Raw Charge reader (reader – not member – so if you read the site and don’t participate, this implies you too) about a survey that SB Nation has launched:
http://www.rawcharge.com/2010/3/19/1381765/sb-nation-survey-+-chance-to
9:12. Lights out. Raw Charge.
Survey completed.
I have come to a conclusion... Martin St Louis = waterbug on meth...

I hate surveys that force me to answer race, income, etc.
Yeah, sorry, I really don’t like being told YOU MUST ANSWER that. My salary is my business.

At least it’s common for you to convert between currencies….. so how much is (either) dollar raking out of the pound these days!?

Not quite sure what that has to do with anything...
But xe.com has exchange rates and calculators

It asked for annual salary in dollars, I get paid in pounds sterling

I’m not really fond of those questions either, but who’s to say the participants actually tell the truth? Not sure what relevance those questions have. Demographics are meaningless with a survey like that and no way to verify answers.

As someone who’s used demographics data for mapping purposes, that stuff comes in pretty handy. Tho I don’t like answering that kind of stuff myself, either. But I understand the usefulness of it.

McGinn's all heart
He’s exactly the type of player you want on your team. He also had the same junior coach as Zeke, and while Zeke was captain, McGinn wore an A. Incidentally, his linemate in the AHL (and last week in the NHL) wore the C when playing junior with McGinn.
67’s pride, yo.
I have a bobblehead of the coach :D

Doesn’t seem to be a tactic Tocchet likes to employ. Not sure why, there’s nothing like lighting a firecracker under a players arse to get him going, but hey ho, it’s the enigma called Rick Tocchet, so it’s not surprising

Probably because he hated being sat out as a player himself.

He looked lost out there
The difference between NHL and AHL linemates is crazy. He couldn’t get smooth passes and nobody could make use of the plays he’d make. I swear he got over 25:00 ice time, though. For all the talk of him playing defence, he was the top centre. Won an insane amount of faceoffs.
Clearly a stride above everyone else. Definitely their best player, even if he got no points.
Also, I think Brandon Segal’s brother is the goalie in Vancouver now.

by TB_hockey_fan on Mar 20, 2010 7:39 PM EDT up reply actions
Pretty much, yep
He couldn’t do a quick stop and turn around as well as most others, but he was definitely their best and fastest skater. I was trying to not be biased, but he really was better. The Giants’ font has 18 and 19 looking almost the same, even up close, but you could tell when Killer (19) was on the ice just by watching him skate.
He had quite a few takeaways. Also far better at keeping the puck in the zone than anyone else.
Not that Kamloops put up much of a fight, despite the 4-3 OT score. I swear they had zero shots on goal from the 10:00 mark of the second period onward. They had 0 shots in the 3rd period and 0 in the 33 seconds of overtime.

This was something else. I've never seen anything like it.
Officiating was also terrible.
I’m not kidding about the last 30 minutes. I cannot remember when they got their 14th shot on goal, but it wasn’t even close to being a competitive game. The Blazers capitalized on a few misplays in the first period and the Giants goalie was, uh, awful. Hopefully he’ll be better tonight. The rest of the game the Blazers just collapsed in front of their goalie and hung on. Shot count was 39-14 (I think). Attempted shots were probably more like 95-25.

That's free agency
See, I’m looking long term here. The Bolts have soem itneresting prospects in Ashton, in Panik, in Hutchings… Wing, wing, center. They need skilled depth. They coudl use a two-way forward that is above scrappy…

I would have no problem with them shopping the pick
unless there’s just someone available that knocks everyone’s socks off, and I don’t think there are many of those… package with a goalie prospect or someone else and get a good 2 way forward for the third line to go along with Thompson (if he’s resigned, and I hope he is).

After one, Caps 2-1. Lecavalier scored the only Lightning goal. Tampa Bay will start the second 4-on-4 for 58 seconds before starting their power play.
The Lightning are out-shooting the Caps 13-4; Lecavalier has three shots. Faceoffs are 50-50; Thompson is 4-0 (100%). They’re being out-hit 8-4; four different players have a hit each. Bochenski has two turnovers, Downie has the lone steal, and Lecavalier & Meszaros each have a blocked shot.

Cal also made it out of the first round
and I’m intrigued by their matchup with Duke. The rest of the Pac-10 sucks, but Washington has gotten things going lately (although I had Marquette beating them, and Marquette beating New Mexico today), and Cal was the consensus “top team” in that conference all year.
I don’t think they beat Duke, but that won’t be an easy matchup at all for Duke. Duke can burn themselves out with Cal before losing to A&M in a few days.

Do you have blue numbers printed on your letters like U, I and P with a “Fn” key somewhere? You need to use the Number Pad for that to work and that’s represented by the blue characters on a laptop

After two, the score stays the same – but the feistiness has jumped up.
The Lightning are still out-shooting the Caps 26-13 now; Lecavalier has seven shots. The faceoffs have flipped strong into the Bolts favor, now winning 63% of them; Thompson is 8-0 (100%). Tampa is now also out-hitting the Caps 14-11; three different players have two hits each. Three players have two turnovers each, three players have one steal each, and five different players have a blocked shot each.

Across the league
Well, this is surprising. The Blues are on the road, and they are doing well for themselves. Up 1-0 on New Jersey late in the third period. As I noted the other night, the Blues have 21 wins on the road after beating the Rangers. A half-decent home record would have them as a virtual shoe-in for the playoffs. Alas, that home record holds them back. But hey, if they make the playoffs, at least they know they’ll be on the road more than they’ll be at home.
Sens are free-falling ever since their long win streak (can’t remember how long it was, 11 games?). Spezza had a hat trick today, and they still lost in Dallas. With Buffalo leading the Panthers in Sunrise, it looks pretty likely that Buffalo will hold onto win the Northeast Division.
Thrashers up 4-2 vs. Philly. Not like either team will do anything if they make the playoffs anyway.
Oh, and the puck has dropped in Phoenix for the Blackhawks/Coyotes game. Those two meet twice in the next 4 days, and will be a great opportunity for Phoenix to show whether they are truly among the league’s best or not. With the Sharks struggling, could be an excellent chance for Phoenix to steal that division. 3 points difference after the Sharks lost in Calgary last night.
Oh, and the pesky Canes beat the Penguins in OT today. Back to back OT wins over Washington and Pittsburgh. That isn’t easy to do, and they just had a back-to-back of Pittsburgh/Washington a week or so ago.
Who'd a thunk that the marquee matchup tonight would be any game with the Phoenix Coyotes in it?

Alas
they probably blew their wad when they lost to Boston earlier this week.
If they’d won, in regulation, it’d be a 2 point differential between those two. As it is, it’s 6 points.
by FloridaownsFSU on Mar 20, 2010 9:32 PM EDT up reply actions
Blues win 1-0.
22-11-4 on the road.
4 points behind Detroit, and Detroit has a game in hand.
Some things aren’t meant to make sense.
by FloridaownsFSU on Mar 20, 2010 9:29 PM EDT up reply actions
Thrashers win 5-2
those gritty, gutty, “We-don’t-need-Ilya” Thrashers are 1 point out of the playoffs.
This is also what happens when you face a team that is down to it’s third string goaltender for the rest of the season. Not that Philly stood a chance with Michael Leighton as it’s starter anyway.
Boucher is back in the fold. Why not just bring in someone like Cechmanek or Esche and finish the flashback to early 2000’s Flyers goalies?
by FloridaownsFSU on Mar 20, 2010 9:41 PM EDT up reply actions
Sabres win 3-1 over Florida
so they really should have that division on auto-drive now. Closest anyone can be after tonight is 6 points, and that’s if Montreal wins their shootout vs. Toronto.
Montreal being a team that is much better this year than they were last year.
by FloridaownsFSU on Mar 20, 2010 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions
7 points it is
as Toronto wins the shootout.
Took till well after their season went down the tubes for Toronto to start winning games regularly.

Detroit's in Vancouver tonight
so that game in hand on St. Louis and Calgary will be gone. Will be interesting to see if they can get a huge road win. They were 0.2 away from leaving Edmonton empty-handed last night.

OK, taiter… what is the division of time (quarters, halves, or ?) in a rugby game? or is it called a match?
I have come to a conclusion... Martin St Louis = waterbug on meth...
It's called either, generally a "match" though
Two “halves” of 40 minutes with a rolling clock
Drifting slowly, lower and lower, until we reach the front row in Los Angeles come June...
And intermission is how long? One of these days I swear I’m going to look up rugby and see some of the rules of play. Kinda hard to find a rugby game to watch around here though.

Like soccer, or uh, football has 45 min running clock?
Does rugby play overage time too? or 40 minutes and done?
