If the Detroit Red Wings had a Steve Yzerman-type, they would be at the top.

Stevie Y, still the greatest shot ever taken!

Jonathan Toews is as close as you can get to an Yzerman-esque player these days.


Yeah Beanflicker the Sharks not making it is odd seeing how they have been so talented for so long.

Serves them right, they publicly put the blame on Joe Thornton for their playoff woes, a guy who's done nothing but put up points consistently for 10 years for them and was nothing but class. They shit on him, striped him of his captaincy and now they're out of the playoffs for the first time since he started leading the franchise... go figure.

Yeah Toews is the perfect comparison for him.

My Canes won last night and I watched the game with my surround sound on (I just recently hooked it up) it was EPIC! How did I ever watch sports on tv without it? The Canes have a ton of youth, lots of upside for the coming year, but we're certainly going ot have to lose some dead weight and Semin has to give 100% every game not just in games where he feels like doing work.

Thornton really got treated poorly, he's such a steady player and a true leader, he'll do anything you need as a player: score, pass, fight, screen the goalie....he does it all. Sure he's is getting older, but damn you don't treat a class player like him the way San Jose has.

Semin is just one of those guys who's never going to be consistent because he doesn't have the character to give it 100% every time out. Canes should get rid of him. I guess Carolina will have an 8.5% chance at getting Conor McDavid. That's not bad. There are some really good prospects in this draft so the chances of getting a solid player are pretty good.
