Anaheim is basically the Michel Therien Canadiens (minus the flopping, diving and overall douchebaggery save for Kesler). Can't play defense, leak scoring chances like crazy but get bailed out by their goalie every damn time.

Is simply letting go of your stick when someone taps it the new diving?

Apparently. What an awful call that was.

Jack calling Halak “Hasek”. GJGE

Backes has 9 points in his last 18 games after going 0 for the first 12 games. Not exactly a blazing pace (and getting PP1 time helps), but he has at least been useful of late.

I wish hockey had better analytics. I'm not sure if it's an empty "old school" belief or not, but just watching Backes you can tell he's clearly a "hard to play against" type guy...it's probably not worth his pay, but I wish it were better quantified.

And holy shit Halak.

Given what Ritchie did to Backes last year and his chippy douchiness tonight, it's getting to be high time someone steps up to challenge him

I have no idea what the fuck Randy Carlyle's doing not pulling Gibson during that possession with < 2 min to go down 2, but I'll take it

Ho hum 3 point night for Pasta. It feels like a nightly occurrence for him. The guy is a monster.

37 back Saturday, 33, 86 and 74 maybe next week.
