The season is either 1/4 over or 1/4 begun; your call

Some of my own observations of 1/4 season of NHL13

- i am loathe to admit it, but Vancouver is becoming my odds on favorite this year for the Cup.  The group is tight; they have two confident goalies competing against each other for #1, and with this shortened schedule, they could be in good team form for the playoffs.
Yeah, the Blackhawks also appear to be in the same situation, still undefeated so i think right there whoever wins that playoff matchup will take the Cup.

Of course the East is it's usual crap shoot.  I don't even know where St. Louis plays anymore.  It seems all the pro pickers are for either the Penguins or the Rangers but really why bother picking the 2nd place team?

-if only....if only the league allowed the players their own system of discipline in questionable hits, like they did in the eighties. Yes, Matt Cooke sliced Eric Kaarlson's achilles pretty bad. Yes, it took out the best player on the team. No, it was not intentional. Anybody who ever actually played hockey will tell you that nowhere in history has any coach or player ever said 'hey, you know what would be a good idea? Try to cut another player's achilles with your skate blade when you finish off a check'.
The sports humpers trying to play this into a 'was it or wasn't it' shtick are a waste of valuable cliche speaking  time.

- Ovechkin has a hot girlfriend. Ovechkin isn't scoring on the ice which means he's scoring somewhere else.  chickachickawow-wow.

- i need to pick up Ray Emery in my hockey pool before it's too late.
