    Yep, spot on. He will have a longer leash than most, just because he is a legend out there, and the fanbase is actually great. But he will inevitably fail, because the Avs front office is atrocious and he won't get the pieces he needs if he stays 10 years, they won't spend the money and Duchene, the brightest star, will go if he becomes too expensive.

    I wish Roy had taken a gig elsewhere, he was a great player and I'd prefer not to see that tarnished.

    Colorado put on a good show but Leafs weren't at their best at all, they played like garbage. I feel like Colorado is a good team when not challenged too harshly, once they come up on some tougher teams that shut down Duchene and that line theyre dead in the water. And where was that goalie from? Varlamov? Did he come from Washington or am I thinking of a different player.

    And always count on the tsn Analysts to spout garbage. Mitchel is the best fourth line center in the league, wow guys calm yourself...full season here coming...

    Nope, Varlamov did come from Washington via free agency.

    I think I'll give Roy a year and a half. I'd expect him to miss the playoffs this year and then get off to a bad start that the honeymoon will no longer cover.

    Of course, given the state of my usual sports predictions, watch him win the Cup at the end of this season. [face_laugh]

    Also, as much as I know buying Center Ice would ruin any semblance of a social life that I have, part of me still really wants it so I can watch teams I care about instead of the Ducks and the Kings.

    I got Center Ice on my computer. It's so nice to have.

    Is it too early to start saying Hertl for Calder? 6 goals in 3 games including 4 tonight. Best game I've been to in a while. :D

    EDIT: Goal #4 sure was a beauty.

    Since I was only able to get a little bit up regarding Hertl earlier due to lack of access to a real computer, I fear that now there are going to be unrealistically high expectations for this kid this year as a result of last night's game. Anything less than 164 goals this season will be viewed as a total and abject failure.

    That and other teams are going to start keying in on him, just like they did on Couture in the past couple of years.

    Same with Kadri, he's not going to do anything like his numbers last year and people will be angry.

    Nash out two weeks after Brad Stuart's illegal check.

    Usually after a 2-9 loss I wouldn't say this, but I hope we see the Sharks again.

    You should just hope Thornton never get's a 4 goal game.
    There's a reason they call him "Jumbo". [face_hypnotized]

    Thornton is awesome.

    Anaheim tonight. God, will I be happy when this Western swing is over. It has not been pretty.

    Go Rangers.

    Mike Fisher should be suspended for his dirty hit on Franson

    Leafs beat Preds 4-0

    Bernier is a beast and so is Reilly

    Nah, they only suspend players who jump off the bench in a pre season game to defend a team mate not for making players bleed. LOL.

    Looks like Reimers out of a job eh and Reilly should stay up, we need him back there.

    Reims ain't out of it yet, he'll more than likely playing Tuesday unless Bernier gets another shut out on Saturday and i agree on Reilly, jeeze he looks like a seasoned Vet out there

    Reimers can't leave. Whose girlfriend will Elisha Cuthbert not roll her eyes at if they get rid of him?
