That’s ok. I went all day not realizing that Papa Smurf’s hat is red anyway.

I’m sorry, J.J. I updated it with Hollis’s scores, and that meant Jimmy shifted to the left. Now his white hat is a little cocked. (That sounds wrong.)

ericsson really should have his own strata. he’s the only guy that routinely deserves a 12. i rant and rave to my gf all the time and even she’s wise to his suckitude now. we went to both games out west and when he lost coverage in anaheim on the koivu goal i knew it was coming when the ducks were breaking out. he also made a super lazy pass up the boards when ryan had his near-goal. i genuinely cannot understand how this guy is on this team at this salary.

That and you can’t really dust for vomit!  Once you go to 11, all I can do is quote Nigel Tufnel.

I actually agree with you. I think Zetterberg’s monster performance skewed at least MY score. He should probably have a higher number attached to him. Re-eval next week…

The kid plays with lots of energy, he chips in some goals, and he draws a lot of penalties. For his salary and his role, I’d say he’s doing a very good job.

If their salaries were reversed, White would be wearing a Jimmy-cap (still hate myself BTW).

I’d probably slide Emmerton in at a 7 or 8. Expectations are low, but so is performance. Kid’s playing himself onto waivers at this pace.

I also think Datsyuk and Zetterberg are too close together, but that’s nitpicky.
