  1. Mason has had the unfortunate luck of playing on pretty crappy teams so

    I was just going to point that out too. If you put up numbers like he has with lower 3rd caliber teams you have to be a pretty decent goalie.

  2. It's the King's year. 5 reasons why:

    5) They are rolling 4 lines and getting solid, two-way play from each

    4) The King and Lewis: King alone had 4 goals in the PHX series and they are forcing mistakes with their physical play

    3) Dustin Brown: leading by example with physical play, energy, and smart passes in all 3 zones

    3) Their PK is phenomenal. They have 5 SH goals this post season and perpetually drive the puck outside by clogging up passing lanes. They do only have 6 PP goals and that may end up being their Achilles heel.

    2) They have 3 pairs of defense that limit the other team to one-and-done chances by keeping the crease clear and pouncing on rebounds to clear them out of scoring zones.

    1) Jonathan Quick. I don't care who is in the other goal; if you've got Quick you've got a shot at winning. Puck tracking, athleticism, lateral movement, positioning, he's got everything. His only weakness is allowing rebounds off the boards to sneak in behind him because of his Tim Thomas-esqu super challenging of shots. But with the defense he's got that's not a real issue.

    That's my take.

  3. I heard about this earlier this season but I thought it wouldn't happen like the Phoenix deal. That's pretty awesome, and you know this also makes Thrashers gear more valuable.

    Get those burgundy and gold Byfuglien sweaters while you can

  4. I'm stuck at my school alone for a week so week will be intense. This pretty much describes my life. Anyone else have any exciting spring break stories that I can live vicariously through?
