No but it bugs me when he thinks that overtime/shootout losses don't actually count as loses.

He's been doing it for eons. At first, I thought it to be slightly premature and mildly annoying, but I got over it. The one overriding factor is that it's never once backfired.
Dammit, I better not have just jinxed it.

Nice to see Darling continuing the streak and Hossa getting some. The Hoss has been one of my favorite Hawks players and he had to be frustrated. I expect him to catch fire. Its kind of like baseball shen a guy goes into a slump, hitting line drives at people, guys making great plays on them etc. Then they start thinking too much. I think Hossa tried to be too fine on his shots during his scoring slump.

Still baffles me how Hossa has not won the Selke at some point in his career. I hate that the Selke pretty much goes to a center by default.
The good thing about Hossa is that even when he's slumping offensively, he's still the Hawks best defensive forward.

It's a wash between him and Toews, but I agree.

As do I. Watching the replays of beardly's goal last night made me slightly angry, because it was Hoss' hustling (what new) pokecheck from behind that caused the turnover. Everybody credited Dunc...who was also key, but Hoss wasn't mentioned once...not even by NHLnetwork.

Mine too. In fact, I should still have an old #21 Avalanche jersey around here somewhere...

I'm only going to post in the hockey forums.
I might need help bringing Mr. Couch over here.

Grimson moved me here after he took out the garbage cans.
He forgot my cushions.

Fixed it for you.
And at this point of their careers, Hossa is still head and shoulders defensively above Toews--and that's not a knock on Toews. Right now this season Hossa's TkA/GvA ratio is 2.5:1 (he also leads the team in Takeaways by a sizable margin). Toews is 1:1 and 3rd on the team in TkA. Last season, Hossa again led the team in takeaways and had a TkA/GvA ratio a RCH under 3:1. Toews was 2nd in TkA (24 less than Hossa) and his ratio was 1.7:1.
In other words, it's like comparing Mark Messier to Wayne Gretzky.
