The Swede puts Forsberg number one

Surprise surprise
To be fair, I dropped Zetterberg almost to the bottom ;)

And on a side note - I would be content if Crosby had a transition in his game in the mold of Yzerman. From point producer to superb team player.

Well, compared to what early Yzerman was...I'm not sure Sid played in "early Yzerman" mold since his rookie season really...

Still...155 :shock: :!:

To a quite large extent - yes. I still consider Crosby to be the best player on the planet. I merely meant that his physical skills probably deteriorate a few years from now. And that I therefore hope that he adapts his game to that. And the best example of that, that I know about, is currently Yzerman.

Yeah, the schedule is awful. If it goes past that, game 6 would not be until next Sunday, 7 would be the following Wednesday.

On the bright side, maybe a chance for Bonino to return for G5 (?)

I think that's to our advantage so I'm ok with waiting.

Even if it were to go to 7, I will smell (catfish) blood in the water. No weaknesses in the stands (and couches) brothers and sisters. :twisted:

Fact: I have a Maxim Afinogenov jersey (not Pittsburgh) hanging in my living room...I was a big fan of him and his unreal ability to not finish despite making so much happen in the first 185 feet of the rink...

His vet records say Maxim, but he goes by Max (or Sweet Baby Maxi, etc).

I can't really justify it, but I would get so excited to see him (do nothing) with the puck.

We're not so different after all...

Conveniently, someone has found almost five whole minutes of him actually doing stuff with the puck...some low-D love:

That Satan (whom I also love) to 61 goal really got my blood going.

I should probably just start watching KHL games.
