If my notes are OK, he's 28 in 42 since coming back from his injury, which is a pace for 55 points. - lusshouse Sun, 15 Apr 2012 17:50:14 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4564-april-15-2012#comment-20401 Chris, Really enjoyed your writing. You really sprayed to all fields... lots of coverage of lots of teams. Much appreciated. Hope to see you back next season. Curious to hear from those who have been watching the Dogs/Hawks series. Mike Smith has been initiating contact in both games, and flopping around like a salmon on a river bank any time anyone comes close to him. He's aggressively playing the puck, and roaming out of his crease trying to make 100+ foot passes. Fine. But anybody watching games 1 and 2 could see that it was going to be impossible to avoid some controversy regarding contact with him. Then he draws the penalty on Toews early in game 2, and PHX scores. He takes the game up a notch in the aggressiveness area. The league [i]needs[/i] to punish head shots- the concussion conundrum is serious- but they also need to take a good hard look at placing fines and suspensions when video evidence shows that somebody is clearly feigning the seriousness of the results of a hit to try to gain a competitive advantage. All this in the dust of the Weber situation Thursday... - Wink Sun, 15 Apr 2012 13:28:39 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4564-april-15-2012#comment-20400 Thank you Chris and I hope you come back to write in the fall. As for the Rangers/Sens thing.....well played by both sides. Carkner backed up his teammate, as did Dubinsky. Ya Boyle is like 6'6" 250lbs, but that wasn't a fight it was an attack where Carkner got 7 or 8 clean punches in to Boyle's 0. I'm sure Boyle got his hands up since he wasn't bloody or anything, but Dubinsky still has to support him there. The penalty he got was correct as he was the 3rd man in, but it was a penalty that any coach at any level of hockey would be ok with. - Seth Sun, 15 Apr 2012 10:37:04 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4564-april-15-2012#comment-20399 My earlier comment wasn't intended to be a slight at you. The beauty of the ramblings (for me at least) is that it has become part of my morning ritual. I appreciate everything you've done, and believe me, I certainly took notice to the amount of work you put into what you write. I am a hockey junky, so when I didn't get my morning fix I became crabby. Thanks for all your hard work! I look forward to reading your work in the future :) - Ross The Boss Palmer Sun, 15 Apr 2012 08:34:02 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4564-april-15-2012#comment-20398 Great stuff Chris, loved reading your ramblings. Create a thread when you write a new article somewhere and that will help you get hits. I know it would help me find your stuff. - TheRook Sun, 15 Apr 2012 06:17:35 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4564-april-15-2012#comment-20397 Wow. I watched that clip with Carkner and Boyle. WHO is the Rangers broadcast guy? He's awful. I get it. Carkner came over across the ice. I understand... yes. Yes, you said. He comes all the way across the ice to punch Boyle. Holy crap. I'd shoot myself if I had to listen to this idiot for a season. Dubinsky had to get in there to help Boyle!? I'm not looking it up, but isn't Boyle like 6'6"? I know he wasn't in a "fight", but he's a big boy and can take care of himself and by this point in his career knows that if he's going to take liberties on top line players that there is probably going to be a bell to answer. "You have heard the tune... and now it is time to pay the piper." And where's the outrage about a third liner taking liberties on who was arguably the best defenseman in the league this year? - Renaldo?

Not to say what was written was bad, but in the heat of the playoffs there needs to be proper ramblin'. Actually put me in a bad mood this morning as I was looking for discussion from everything that happened yesterday. - Ross The Boss Palmer Sun, 15 Apr 2012 04:55:46 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4564-april-15-2012#comment-20394 Thanks for the ramblings this season, Chris. I really enjoyed them. Hope you have a great summer. Cheers. - chimp82x Sun, 15 Apr 2012 04:14:13 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4564-april-15-2012#comment-20393 Thanks for all the Sunday posts, Chris.
