Burns has looked awesome in the games I've watched this year. I'd go with him. Injuries are always a concern, but maybe this is his year to be healthy. He is, in a way, the safest bet in a one-year league, despite his injury history.

I agree, Burns.

Really? No love for Taormina, even though Burns is a BAB and on the 2nd MINNESOTA PP?

Yes I would go with Burns as well, last game he playe almost 28 mins incl 4 on the PP, and Minny has the best PP in the league (for now) Taormina came out of nowhere so I dont trust him, I think that unless he starts producing better given his PP time that the devils will look at other options on the point.

Taormina is the new flavor of the month...he's come out of nowhere and is getting primo ice time in NJ. He had really good numbers in the AHL last year and I don't have a problem with someone gambling on him. He could be for real, but I am not comfortable recommending him at this point. He could flame out and become a nobody. I just think Burns is the safer bet.

I have just seen so many players like Taormina come and go...we hope they become the next Boyle or Rafalski, but usually they just end up being the next Cory Murphy or Marc-Andre Bergeron.

@ ross, wendel, and SeaDawg... thanks gentlemen!

I have this voice in my head that keeps saying, "all you need to do is to tee up Kovalchuk... that's all you need to do..."

This just looks a bit um... unappetizing...
PP1
Andrew Brunette Mikko Koivu Antti Miettinen Marek Zidlicky Matt Cullen
PP2
Cal Clutterbuck Guillaume Latendresse Martin Havlat Brent Burns Matt Cullen

But you're all right about Taormina easily becoming fodder as soon as he has a dry spell. Jason Demers occasionally being on the Sharks' PP1, comes to mind.

Thanks again!

OK, getting back to OEL.

Paul Bissonette (aka BizNasty) just tweeted that, because OEL doesn't have his cell number, he texted OEL claiming to be Nick Lidstrom. But then it seems OEL responded in Swedish or something like that. That guy's tweets are hilarious.

yeah he is hilarious did you see the one about him skating at the joe??

"Just left "the joe". Tough skate today. I looked like datsyuk out there today. Minus the awesome hands, great shot, speed, and hockey sense."

Bahaha he kills me .... hes pu up some other stuff about the lidstrom text, just classic!!

TOI against the red wings, 20mins exactly, with 3 on the PP and 3mins SH.

no stats except 2pims.

Still slightly regretting dropping Zidlicky for him. I knew he'd take a year to 'work things out', 'find his feet in the nhl' etc etc. But its annoying when I dont have a farm or big bench to rest him in...

just wish he'd hurry up ans start producing.

Lets see how he goes against Stammer and the lightning tomorrow
