ESPN’s Scott Burnside chimes in with a good read marking the absolute middle of the season. What if they were to dole out trophies this weekend as opposed to the end of the season? Who would be on the receiving end of the recognition? Have a look at some of Scooter’s midterm grades, including hat tips to:
– Bryan McCabe’s ‘monster’ year in Toronto.
– Joe Thorton’s strong season despite the "WTF?!" moment we recently endured here in Beantown.
– The rookie race that is Crosby vs. Ovechkin.
– Mike O’Conell and Craig Patrick’s heated competition for the "Change the Sheets" award. Can you guess why I am calling it that?
Will Joe-Joe breathe new life into the Sharks? How long can the Rangers continue to dominate? Can Kovalchuk leave Jagr in the dust? 5 Bruins games, 2 Lockmonsters games and 1 BU game so far under my belt. And there’s really lots of ice time left – I am so, so thankful, but so, so broke. Ah, screw it. Goon ‘er up.
Well Dave. You’d better get to more Monsters games this year. The Team is up for sale. It’s not looking good right now for them to be back next season.
Great site fellas!
Did you see teh game on OLN last night? 3 bouts, including Briesbois going after that young kid from St.Louis. Seems like in the 2nd half there might be a little more fighting, as the guys get sick of the stickwork, that is getting worse.
Sledge, I totally agree. I think the guys have figured out the rules a little, and the emotion is returning a bit. Let’s hope after the Olympic break it’s like old time hockey.
