Speaking of getting pissed at our clubs, BUFFALO! They're not living up to their potential.
What makes you say that? They are living up to the reality of losing a few of the bigger stars, such as Briere, Drury and Campbell and the other stars haven't really done a bad job, considering the gaping holes that have appeared.
Vanek has really come into his own, but there is no way he wins the Rocket Richard, not with Ovie coming around.
Vanek and Roy have stepped up nicely, plus Miller's doing alright in goal - you can't blame him for the decrease in quality in front of him.
I'm quite happy having Roy and Ovechkin both on my fantasy team - they've bumped me up to 4th in the league, with a legitimate shot at top over the next few months.
Crosby, not so much. He keeps diminishing it seems, and he's been very very streaky lately... and I mean ugly streaky.
AO is taking the game to people and it's helping, as the team is receiving the morale boost and are playing better because of it - Johnson's having one hell of a year between the pipes as well, especially when the coach is going to put the hot glove in each time out.
As regards the Pens, that team is now being led by Malkin. Don't know what's happened out there to Sid, but he's not the player he was 12 months ago. Possibly people know what he's going to try, so we've got to wait and see on him for his next step, when he tries something no-one expects.
I see them as Cup Contenders. Their only challenge now is to beat Detroit, haha.
They couldn't quite hold their lead last night, but that's hockey for you.
