This shows the capitals as "strong backup, poor starter" which is bunk.

Their backup (samsonov)...id feel more comfortable with halak or allen or brent johnson (now)he's BAD
I hope Snuggerud beats the shit out of Kyrou

To be fair, they're barely in that quadrant. They're pretty close to being in the "bad backup and starter" one.

Holtby had a very rough start to the year, but has found his footing. I'd imagine he'll end up moving them somewhere in the good starter area or close to it. Halak kicked ass as a backup last year in Boston for what it's worth.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

They do look great...I still prefer the green and blue though. They just need to go back to their original logo. Maybe the skate logo on the green and blue's and they could have a hybrid jersey of both.

Blue, green, yellow, black, orange jersey works for me.

That would define Vancouver.

Kadri was the glue that held the Leafs together....I thought Sakic won that deal on day one and it’s looking worse every day for the Leafs.
I would imagine the Leafs will need a roster shakeup and a coaching change.

That’s a complete fail given the Tavares contract. That’s on Shanahan.

I liked that deal for both teams bust a little more for the Avs. The Leafs collapse is outstanding to watch.

Was talking with Matty Ice at work this morning about those jerseys and we both said the only thing missing in that game was Pavel Bure. I think in today's open space style of play his speed might be even more prevalent.
