Keep in mind, Peverley had 13 goals, 35 points, and a mind boggling plus/minus rating of plus-18 in just 35 games with the Thrash last season. Where did this guy come fromLooks like Maple Leafs defenseman Francois Beauchemin broke his finger last night. Funny, for the most part, Beauchemin has had his finger up his butt this season, so I am a little surprised that he broke his finger in the first place!Beauchemin is a minus-nine on the season, and grossly overpaid broke his finger..pffttt! break a leg why don't ya! Watched the Mike Danton interview on Sportsnet last week, after all he’s been through you can’t help but pull for the guy. Here’s the skinny on Danton’s NHL career; 87 games played, seven goals scored, five assists, and 182 penalty minutes. Danton’s ruff and tumble play could be a valuable addition to a few NHL clubs, but does any team need the headache of having this "sideshow" on their roster Fact is, there are 100 guys that can bring what Danton brings without the headaches... 
There’s no getting away from it, the Philadelphia Flyers dynamic defensive duo of Chris Pronger and Matt Carle is the best in the NHL. Pronger and Carle have a combined plus/minus rating of plus-30, have registered 29 points, and both players are averaging nearly 25 minutes in ice time per game. Redonkulous! Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Tomas Kaberle is ranked second overall in assists amongst all NHL players with 19. Speaking of Crosby, there has been a lot of talk of his recent scoring drought, and his the apparent slide in his play. Trouble is, the players that Crosby is surrounded by have been playing like a bunch of third liners. Fact is, Crosby’s linemates have let him and the team down, with Crosby dishing you the puck you should have 12-15 goals in 20 games, it shouldn’t take three players to pull it off Until next time, Peace!.
