Early Wednesday Hockey Thoughts

Fuck this week was hard, I want to get something out every week and this was the best I could do.

Brendan Shanahan says the NHL is going to keep the All Star draft in 2012. I'm a big fan of the NHL trying new stuff, but it just wasn't very good. If they're going to do it again at least get Gerry Dee to host it. No offense James Duthie, you're just not very funny. (as long as you say "no offense" before something mean, it's cool)

Don Cherry nails it, which is more rare than it used to be.

How many hockey sticks can you buy for $15,000?

I have a feeling Canucks fans are overvaluing Schneider as an offseason trade piece, remember Halak was a starter and a playoff hero and all Montreal got for him was Lars Eller and some other guy who's name doesn't need to be remembered.

I can't remember an NHL season where the MVP is less obvious, D. Sedin, Kesler, Toews, Thomas, Stamkos, Yandle. I think it has to be Daniel, right? Highest scorer on the team with the best record. Twin brothers winning the Heart Trophy in back to back years. That's fairly incredible. To celebrate they should knock up the Williams sisters just to see what happens.

It's probably not feasible but would Olympic size ice cut down on concussions? I guess you could just build all new arenas Olympic size and have different playing areas like baseball.

I think there's a better than 50/50 chance Winnipeg gets a team NEXT season (either Atlanta or Phoenix). Go Jets!!!!!
