According to ESPN Sidney Crosby isn't likely to be ready for the first round of the NFL playoffs.

I admire ESPN's Scott Burnside's consistency. He's now picked Vancouver to lose in each of the seven postseason series they've played since the lockout.

Finally someone that has Couture number one on the ballot! I've read many articles that say Skinner should win but I think Couture is a better overall player. I even saw an article that said Skinner should win it 'without a doubt'! Are you kidding? Totally dismissing all the work that Couture and Grabner did throughout the year?!

I know Couture was the favorite to win the Calder for most of the season, but it seems like nearly everyone jumped on the Skinner bandwagon last month. I still don't think Couture is getting the recognition he deserves.
I mean that in as non-homer of a way as possible.
