In other news, the Leafs are killing me.


The Kicker is that the Leafs probably traded away Taylor Hall (aka the 1st overall pick of 2010) for Phil Kessel.

Nice job, Burkie!

Ummm, I think it's kinda early to say that the Leafs will "probably" come last in the league.


I dunno, man.. The signs are not boding well.. 3rd goalie already?

Stupid penalties ad-nauseum from one of their key free agent signings? Already benching their 2 key offensive players in an attempt to shake things up?

Beauchemin is being exposed without a talent like Pronger or Niedermayer to cover up for him.

There's a lottery, right? One in six chances, then.

Finally caught up on the last couple weeks...

Ottawa?

flag dancing dancing flag

Devils?

flag dancing dancing flag

Caps?

flag dancing dancing flag

Ducks?

flag dancing dancing flag

Leafs?

flag dancing dancing flag

Kings?



Penguins? Well, we gave that one up cause my now-brother-in-law was getting married the next night, so that was a gift to him since him and his family are huge Pittsburgh fans. wink

Gaborik is really paying off for the Blueshirts- the snap on his shot is crazy. Team is really clicking. It's been so long since I've had confidence in the Rangers' power play tongue

I didn't see the Pens/Flyers game but I heard about the biting incident.

Now, how about this goal by Backstrom?


That was pretty bad- though mitigated somewhat by the Caps' goalie letting a similar goal through soon after in the game (though it wasn't as long range).

I don't know if San Jose is purposefully starting each game slow to lull the other team into a false sense of security, or if they actually need a few minutes to get their act together each game. They've scored first only once this season, their shutout in Anaheim. Whatever it is, it's working for now. After letting the Rangers go up 2-0 they came back with SIX goals before NY could respond with only 3 mins left in the 3rd. Patrick Marleau put a stop to any chance of a comeback a minute later though. After being stripped of his captaincy in the off season he's off to his best start of his career! I hope they can all keep it up.

Go Sharks!

Ouch! Glad that was a Versus game- I don't think I'd want to see that wink

Gonchar broke his wrist in the Pens' slaughter of the Blues a couple days ago, out 4-6 weeks. I'm just glad that he's not out until mid-March with a shoulder injury like last year.

Let's go Pens!

I'm just disappointed that I've got to work during their next game. Boo closing on a Friday night. plain

That stinks, too. At least I got to see the end of OT and the shootout that the Pens won against the Panthers tonight. It was some consolation. So, I guess you'll be watching highlights on ESPN, if they acknowledge that hockey exists before March.

I'll probably have better luck on the internet than trying to catch highlights on ESPN.

Probably. I'm glad that I'll be home for the Pens-Devils game tonight. If I had to choose, I guess I'd rather watch that than Pens-Panthers.

Hey Boba, did you know you can catch HNIC live online on the CBC website? All Canadian teams actually. How about them Leafs eh? tongue

I finally got around to watching a game. Habs/Rangers. Habs win in OT 5-4. happy Awesome game... filled with giveaways. tongue

Hey Questy boy... say it... King Henrik and the Rangers got owned by Cammalleri in OT.

Yeah, they've had that for about two or three years now. tongue

Seems like when the Leafs have been playing well it just happens to be against really good goalies (Luongo, Lundqvist, etc), making it difficult to score.

The Leafs were terrible. As were the Canucks, except for Luongo.
