7 games for Carcillo...between his injury and the suspension, he may be gone a long while. 66 grand is salary too.

Good news is the Hawks signed Andrew Shaw, who may fill the role even more effectively than Carcillo.

Something I have wondered a player is hurt and is suspended, but was injured on the job so he is eligible for workers comp which is or was 80% of pay after taxes at least in MA.
The law is the law so Carcillo still should get paid?

Wings pulled within 1 point of the Hawks, and two behind Vancouver (although both have played 2 less games than the nucks).

Stats are looking good too.

Wings 128 GF (tied 2nd most), 88 GA (3rd lowest) and the largest GF/GA margin at 40.
Hawks 128 GF, 111 GA
Nucks 134 GF (leads west), 99 GA
Sharks 105, 86 GA (tied for lowest)

Keep in mind Wings & Hawks have played 39 games, Nucks 41, and Sharks 36. I think these are the four best teams in the West. The Blues are not far back, but I'm not sure they can score enough goals to make it deep in the playoffs (39 GP, 99 GF, 86 GA).

I dunno about the Blues. They are tough, play good D and have 2 great goaltenders. That normally means good things in the playoffs.

True, but you still need to be able to put the puck in the net.

Carcillo will get paid while he is out injured, John....it is during the 7 game suspension that he forfeits salary.

I gotta agree with Christos, Mike, at this point I would put the Blues right in the mix with the Hawks, Wings, Nucks and Sharks.

I HATE the Canucks....that being said, the line of the Sedins and Burrows is out of control lately, best offensive line in the league the last month.

My son's coach is a Swede, he has been driving us crazy this week. My kid was praying that Sweden won, because if not, they would be punished in practice for a loss! lol!

Congrats Sweden!

Congrats to Sweden!

Hawks lost a heartbreaker to the Flyers, 5-4 with a Flyer goal in the waning seconds. Matchup with the Avs tomorrow, Let's Go Hawks!

Nice win by the Sharks, Mike, looks like the Hawks could fall to 4th or 5th in a few days if they don't get off the snide.

Saw the game, the announcers were trying to figure out what Joe was doing too.

They did not look good in the 3rd against a bad team. It got a little nasty at the end. I am far from sold on these guys. I would not worry. To me the Sharks are far from out of the woods and could easily string together a series of losing games. From what I was told there have been a lot of hard practices and players are not in love with the coach.

That $hit is epic though. I like how he just keeps putting it back in his face because he knows he's going to take it.

Feel bad for the Flames. I thought they couldn't look worse then last night. Boy was I wrong. Watching the replay. There are a lot of bad goals. Irving was in net no puck control rebounds everywhere. That defense of the flames defined no hustle. They just stopped even skating.

Edit looks.like kipper went in and did no better. Love the Roku box with GCL.

Some funny stuff already,Vancouver is whining and the game hasn't even been played.
The ref's wont give them any calls..the 1:00 pm start is not fair. The Bruins always play Saturday matinee games it's not about them
The B's are nothing but a bunch of goons,I think they should check the stat sheet that will tell them who the Bruins are this year.
I'm sure there will be more to come today

I wasn't able to see much of the game since my daughter had a basketball game, but I did see the last five minutes (and the game highlights). JVR looks like he may finally be coming back around. Of course with Jagr out, being moved into some more opportunistic line combinations helps.

I wonder if Iginla will accept a trade to a contender?
