What Sharks fans see: "Okay, nobody gives a fuck if he gets out of position to throw a check, he's far too immobile to get anything done, and nobody knows why the coaching staff is so obsessed with him."

I was impressed with Murray in the playoffs a few years ago, I think it was the 2010 run. I'll have to check him out this again this year.

The Pens currently have a bunch of mobile defensemen who can't clear the front of the net or play with any degree of physicality. Letang throws some hits but he's a smaller guy and Orpik throws big body checks that take him way out of position.

Who else saw the 3-on-3 action in the Habs/Sabres game? Was ridiculously fun. Two 2-on-1s and one breakaway in 36 seconds. I honestly wouldn't mind if they adopted a 3-on-3 situation in place of the shootout.

Also, Subban's played great in his first game back. First point!

LEAFS. Here we go. Hopefully we don't have a pregame ceremony hangover.

Another interesting NHL Saturday. I was at the Pens-Devils game and it was nice to see the black and gold clicking again. Crosby looked great but afer his little post whistle dust-ups with Volchenkov, I see why fans of opposing teams can really despise 87. Devils were pretty flat but I do want to say that Ilya Kovalchuk doesn't get enough credit for what a strong passer he is. That facet of his game is much better than I remember and it was great to see live. Best moment of the game was Robert Bortuzzo getting his first NHL goal. His reaction of shock and excitement was awesome.

Sharks undefeated season gets an * with a shootout loss, still very impressive.

Montreal and Anaheim both exploded offensively. Both Jon Quick and Ryan Miler got pulled which is surprising. I thought both Anaheim and Tampa would surprise a bit this year, let's see if they can keep it up.

I'm a Habs fan but holy shit did the Sens get robbed of a point in the game earlier today. Absolutely brutal call that cost them a goal and ultimately, at least one point. Officiating has been brutal all year round.

That being said...Habs in 4th place!

Yeah, it really has. Sharks have been getting screwed a lot, but then we get shitty calls every once in a while too. Just bad overall.
