Olczyk needs shuffle lines, or he has got to go
If I were Eddie Olczyk (which I wish I was….having all that talent)
My Top 3 Lines would be as follows:
Line 1 : Lemieux, Crosby, Palffy
Line 2 : Recchi, Malone, Leclair
Line 3 : Fata, Talbot, Koltsov
On 2nd thought….
Yes, its only been a little more then the week since the NHL started up but it is still a decent time to examine a few teams and players who are either playing above or below expectations and whether or not these trends will continue.
The New Found Importance of Special Teams
Under the new rules of the NHL special teams (Penalty killing and powerplays) will a greater importance to team success than ever before. With officials consistantly cracking down on obstruction and calling penalties there were an abundance of powerplays in every game during the preseason. While, yes this was preseason and they’ve said they were cracking down on obstruction years ago and stopped calling it, I think this year they will stick with it.

Leafs Hockey, What's Goin on in the Big Apple, and more…
Well, some of you asked me “why not the Rangers?”, so alright. I’ll give you my take on them.
How about some Leafs hockey? Hey, it’s the hot topic in the NHL world on here, and this time it’s not about who the Leafs should get and other things that have been talked about. I’m taking the discussions in a different direction in regards to John Ferguson Jr.
Plus, extra tid bits on another team, and my other attack on another media outlet.
Umm, Yeah…
So, yeah…. I could not come up with a headline title, so……..just deal with it.
Pretty much it’s all hockey talk in here as so many moves were made, fantesticles moves! From Edmonton to Philadelphia, then to Pittsburgh, then to China….
