2013: The NHL season that almost wasn't

Blackhawks might score 10 on these clowns. Kane with a highlight reel spin-o-rama goal.

 

Blackhawks were just exhausted by the end of the streak. Their first loss came on a 6th game in 8 days.

Four days off and they look completely dominating again.

 

Agreed. Isn't Kipper a free agent after this season?

EDIT: Reason I ask is I recall reading he might stay home for good. If so, seems it would be more difficult to deal him.

 

They're all fighting for second behind Crosby.

 

Yeah, I agree, assuming Crosby stays healthy.

My mid-season picks would be: Hart, Crosby. Vesna, Tuuka Rask. Norris, Zdeno Chara. Adams, Bruce Boudreau (can't believe I am saying that, but Anaheim has seriously exceeded expectations).

 

Vezina. Just sayin'.

 

I thought it was Vesla.

 

What on earth is the ugly red crap the Vancouver Canucks are wearing? Never seen those before.

 

It's the Vancouver Millionaires from 1912 (think that's the date) in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association. It's the last time Vancouver won a Stanley Cup.


And they are far from the ugliest sweaters in Vancouver history.

 

Great retro jerseys. And we can start the parade of ugly Canucks jerseys

 

1915, but you are correct. The Canucks may have collectively the worst sweaters in the history of sports.

 

I quite liked the Millionares sweaters, ditch the white pants for red ones and they instantly become the best uniform that the Canucks ever had. It's a change they should think about making permanent.
