Is having two
good goalies a bad thing? |

Play away
from the Joe, where the Wings are
just .500. |

All that Sean
Avery drama; he's on waivers, he's
called up... |

A goalie that
they are paying $10 million this
season to find himself in the
woods. |

As good as
Jonathan Toews and Co. have been,
the need for a second line center
is glaring. |

Ryan Kesler
is on pace to put up his worst
numbers since 2008-09. |
|

1-5 in
shootouts. Hitch has no defensive
strategy that can fix that. |

Not much bad
to choose from. Injuries are the
only thing preventing this team
from being at the top of the
standings. |

Alfie's
mustache. |

Martin
Havlat's been limited to just 26
games this season. |
|

The bad comes
down to the inevitable decision of
keeping Ryan Suter and going for
it or risk losing him as a UFA for
nothing. |
|

2.10
goals-per-game. To quote a certain
TFP Senior Writer (@DennisTFP)
they need a scoring winger. |
|

Marty Brodeur
is sporting a .893 save
percentage. Not exactly a graceful
fade into the sunset. |
|
14 |
 |
14 |
Alex Ovechkin
on his way to reaching lowest
totals of his career. Even talk of
him being the last pick in the All
Star draft. |

5th worst
team in the League, 5-on-5.
Doesn't make their playoff chances
look very good. |

The cult of
Yeo needs to turn into the cult of
goals. Defense may win
championships, but you need goals
to win Cups. |
|

Semyon
Varlamov's failed to produce the
way many had hoped. |
|

The League's
worst penalty kill needs to
improve if Toronto wants to make
the playoffs. |
|

They traded
for a 6 million dollar man who has
scored 10 goals, so far, this
season. |
|

 |

They didn't
have the readily-available cash to
help add pieces in the summer. |

It took a GM
threat to wake up this team's
stars. |
|

The
39-year-old Ray Whitney is leading
the offensive charge; this team
needs help putting the puck in the
net. |
|
23 |
 |
13 |
The team's
overall offense hasn't spread out
exactly like the Jets had hoped.
Not yet, anyway. |
|
24 |
 |

John Tavares
is playing lights out so that's
good, but the lack of talent
around him is really, really, bad.
|
|

What's bad
about them? They're a team full of
losers. At least, according to one
former Hab. |
|
26 |
 |

Allowing a
league-worst 3.40 goals-per-game.
How bout that 1-3-1? |
|

 |

Seems like
there are severe character flaws
with this team. They never really
recovered from Milan Lucic's hit
on Ryan Miller. |
|

Eric Staal. |

While
everyone is high on the kids, the
defense still needs loads of work
and they have no long-term star
between the pipes. |

The injury
bug has killed this team -- not to
mention Ken Hitchcock could've
been had and turned the Blues into
contenders. |
