how in the world is Alex Tanguay still playing

e: he is only 35?!?!?!?!
He made the NHL as a 19 year old.

Patrick Marleau is Tanguay's age and has played almost 1300 NHL games. He would've been the youngest to 1,000 games if not for the lockout(s).

e: For those of you wondering, the youngest anyone's ever made it to 1,000 games is Dale Hawerchuk at 30 years and 306 days old.

Apparently Joe Pavelski is about to be named the next captain of the Sharks.

Joe Thornton's been our best player all season, but good for Pavs I guess?

The Penguins don't have a game on Sunday until the middle of January (the 18th). I don't just mean from now, I mean they haven't played a Sunday game yet this season. Odd.

Sabres have won 9 of their last 12 and only one of their losses was by more than one goal

If arizona wins tonight there will be a six point gap betwen 28th and tied-at-19-points 29th/30th canes/oilers

Columbus beats Pittsburgh in OT.

It should come as a surprise to no one that yet another CBJ/PIT game ends with a 4-3 tally.

Six game win streak. :getin:

Also, refs are bad.

Honestly, the Canucks would try to veto any team using Millionaires. Not sure if they'd win, but they'd definitely make a big stink about it.

It must be maddening to be a Sabres fan. The team's underlying possession numbers are historically awful but they keep bumbling their way to one goal victories and are heading right out of the McEichel race. As a Canes fan, I know the feeling quite well. I really hope my team can fully commit to tanking because I'm loving sick of .500 seasons that result in playoff misses but only drafting in the 7-8th slot.

Yeah, the saving grace is that it's not sustainable based on the numbers.

as bad as his stats are tonight, I think he takes a lot less blame than usual. the rangers had roughly six 3-on-1s and a 4-on-2 over the first thirty minutes, and three of the four goals came on those breaks

yeah I despised him before we ever signed him

I think Willie Desjardins is showing a bad habit of recycling things that are known to suck, as opposed to trying things that will likely suck but have a chance to be anything but suck. He also likes to ruin what is good in an effort to fix bad things, thereby making everything bad. What Hansen and Dorsett can do with the Sedins is well known by now and I think it would be cool if we stopped seeing them. Vrbata, meanwhile, owns with the twins but is the first one demoted when the second line struggles. It would be great if a second scoring line existed but it isn't going to come about by crippling the one good line. Linden Vey consistently looks like the best offensive player they have outside of the top line, but I guess they're terrified of his defense on a scoring line I guess. It seems like you can either accept that Vrbata and the Twins need each other, or you can have an awful offense that will be relying on Ryan Miller to win defensive games and just kill me now if that is the path this season takes.

I saw someone wearing a Ryan Miller jersey the other day and I couldn't understand it.

Like, why would you like the guy enough to buy the jersey, when you could choose from actual good players? I would rock an Eddie Lack jersey all day long. Such a waste of money.
