Another goal for Matt Cullen, we really miss him in our top 6.

Well, he`s just 2 points shy from Silfverberg but he`s also winning quite a lot of faceoffs

That can't be true.....is it?

Matt Cullen is having a good season. One of the best Penguins this season relative to expectations. Pens fans gives him lots of praise here: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=2010413&highlight=

his time with the ducks feels like centuries ago

good to see him still having success after all these years

 

[JabbaJabba]

I'm actually surprised that Matt Cullen is still playing, even succesfully.

And he's got a couple cups, right? At least one. I feel like we got back something really dumb for him, like Alex Hicks level dumb.

We traded Cullen, Pavel Trnka, and a 4th round pick for Sandis Ozolinsh and Lance Ward

Good Hockey trade. Sandis was a solid player for the Ducks

Aha. I'm thinking of Trnka. I knew there was garbage associated with that trade.

he won the cup in '06 with the canes

cullen got ozolinsh in return, who was a major part of the '03 finals run. good trade. and they got rid of that pylon pavel trnka in the process

 

[Kalv]

I became a Ducks fan because of Ozo (and Giggy). Definitely a good trade

That's why he doesn't have to hire one, he is one.

When you play 25 minutes a night for the team with the worst shot differential in the league that's bound to happen. The Avs would ideally be playing him 20-22 minutes a night but given their woeful blueline I guess they have to give him that ice time.

That also goes to show how you can never rank individuals based off Just Corsi. I would gladly take over half that list on my team.

I think two caveats to Corsi, +/-, etc are when the player is on a thoroughly bad team and when they play a role with heavy minutes. In those cases, the best players actually are probably the worst in those metrics.

How many of those guys are all on the same few teams?

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

We just saw how effective Beauchemin can be and still is. They might regret all his heavy minutes in the playoffs if they make it, but still.

He made a lot of excellent plays that Kev can only dream of making, especially along the boards.

Also had an assist and on the year has more than doubled Bieksas point totals. I think the Avs are way overplaying him and if they somehow sneak into the playoffs he will be worn down but if he were still here and playing 21 mins per night our blueline would be so much better off for it.

 

[Jack Bauer DAMNIT]

I was starting to warm up to Bieksa... Until The COL game happened. Back to reality.

 

[70sSanO]

DSP has 3 goals and 2 assists since being traded to New Jersey. Good to see him producing, especially after that emotional goodbye in Montreal.

Karlsson looks really good for the Jackets so far against Tampa Bay. He's such a good passer, would have to think he would have a ton more assists if he didn't spend the first half of the season playing mostly with scrubs.

Everytime I watch cbj he impresses me, he was killing a 5v3 powerplay the last game I watched
