    They're getting cursed with injuries all of a sudden. First Price, then Gallagher, and now Price again.

    Obi_Wan_01 - Ack. Rough one. But we've got 34 points at Thanksgiving, you guys have 36. I'm happy with that.

    I also hope that Price's injury doesn't keep him out. There is no joy to be had in beating a team with a handicap.

    Garret Sparks becomes the first Leafs goalie to record a shutout in his NHL debut.



    A great moment in an otherwise not-so-great season.

    I wish the Hawks were winning more of these games though.

    Kane extends his streak with an assist on an empty netter (new Hawks record)...and Hawks win!

    You know you are doing bad when the first thing you say in your mind before checking the score on TSN is, "Let's see who we lost to today."

    Habs lose 5 in a row. :(

    The rest of the pack has definitely caught up to them now. The Atlantic and the incredibly weak Pacific are both so wide-open, it's crazy.

    Habs leading 3-0 over the Bruins after 2 periods at the Winter Classic. Awesome save just now by Condon during a Bruins PP at the end of 2nd.

    Leafs likely to host next year's Winter Classic. Boba_Fett_2001
    Opponent likely to be Rangers. heels1785

    That would be a lot of fun. My buddy Darth_Furio would be pretty excited as well.

    Yeah there was a report about it a few weeks back. I definitely wanna go if it happens especially with my cousins from NYC who are huge Rangers fans.

    You'd think Ottawa would've been a no-brainer to play in that one, so they could showcase the Battle of Ontario. So tired of seeing the same teams being in the Winter Classic and Stadium Series over and over.

    The Redwings are my favorite team followed by the Maple Leafs. So I would love to see a Winter Classic game held at the Big House.

    That was supposed to happen, or did it? I'll admit I didn't watch much Hockey in 2014.

    Really wish Dallas would get a nod with an outdoor game. I kind of doubt it will happen though. Although they could have had one already had Minnesota not demanded to play the Hawks instead of the Stars as was the original plan. Not sure why the league caved. It just seems like you'd want to showcase exciting, offensive teams to grow the sport.

    I think some Bruins fans would disagree with you ;)

    They go with what will make the most $$$. Toronto-Ottawa just doesn't have the draw the other, stronger rivalries have. The original six all have much larger fan bases.

    Yeah, figures. It unfortunately leads to irritating favoritism by the NHL though.

    It could be argued though that the original six are so much more marketable precisely because of the groundwork the league has been laying for several decades to make them so. The revisionism in terms of the original six era being a high point for the league's talent and competitive integrity is a big part of it - in truth the league was rife with corrupt practices and policies that gave the Leafs, Habs, and Red Wings a significant advantage. It was a terrible time for hockey and for hockey players especially.
