Yes, littleman23408, Dallas on Wednesday. I hope they can make it two in a row! BTW, Hagman scored a hat trick tonight.
The Leafs are finally playing well.
They beat the Red Wings tonight 5-1, and they beat the 'Canes last night.... so two wins in a row!
Kessel is already looking good, and he's only been back for a few games. I can't wait until he's got his legs back.
The Monster is just awesome. Some of the saves he made tonight were amazing. This guy is huge and so athletic. I think he's finally starting to get used to NHL hockey.....
I love that the NHL Channel shows the Leafs game every Saturday!

Congrats on the win, especially over those damned 'wings!
I hope for a better season for the Leafs. It's just one of those legendary teams you hope to see up there, ya know?
The Avs aren't too shabby themselves, eh? Beating everyone's expectations.
And how about the Kings upending the Pens? Anytime the Pens lose, it's a good night.
Congratulations, I just saw that you won, and knew you would post it here!
Glad the Caps are still doing good without Ovechkin, and Dallas just needs to pick up the pace, to many 1/2 goal games
Some thoughts on the year so far:
I can honestly say that I and I think every writer or blogger completely and utterly blew their predictions of the Avs; on the flip side I am not at all surprised by the Kings so far this year; they are going to make life for us Sharks Fans very difficult. My Sharks are starting to find their groove and looking good (for now........). Anahiem; well you lose Christina Pronger and Beauchemin and we see that you are really not such a great team.
Chicago is the real deal and has an excellent chance to win their division. The wings will find their wheels and their say in 10th will be very short.
Surely; you and the rest of Leaf Nation have my sympathies; Ron Wilson is a prick and is the reason your team is a mess; please encourage all your fans to make his life miserable so he can realize he is not the greatest coach since Scott Bowman; maybe then he will lower his arrogance and become a decent coach.
As for the Caps; well apparently they can score without Ovie.
All I can say is;
I cannot wait for the Olympics; the hockey is going to be out of this world!
Hopefully the return of Modano will give the Stars a lift.

I'm out of the country, so I haven't even seen a game yet. I've been somewhat following the Wings, but they haven't been doing so hot.
I have watched a number of games and one team stands out to be extremely cheap this year.
The knee to knees can kill a players season. 2 or 5 games suspensions are not going to cut it. I am not a big proponent of suspensions but I am starting to lean towards favoring match injury to suspension for what the league considers attempt to injure or the result of an injure; knee to knee, boarding, hit from behind, elbow to the head and so on.
late hits auto 10 game suspension
attempt to injure with the stick 10 to 20 game suspension
attempt to injure 5 game
result in injury matched suspension to time missed for injury.
There are plenty of opportunity to crush players and keep the physical aspect of the game intact. There isn't room to start having teams missing their keyplayers due to gooning or irresponsibility
Yeah, they got off to a rough start, but they are getting there. They'll make the playoffs, but I don't see them in the Cup this year.
Never count out the Wings.
I'm not, but I'm not going to get my hopes up either.

Flyers are nothing but classless filth and it start from the top of their organization.
I agree with the pplayer being hit has a responsibility but they can not control the other players knees, elbows and sticks.
In todays game with the speed of the players and the overall game players absolutely can not put themselves square into the boards. Even at the slow games I play in its much easier said than done.
Players have lost the respect. elbows knees and sticks are the beginning.
When the big names start missing quantitive games and tickets sales dwindle maybe buttman will call the owners in for a "WTF over" meeting
hey thanks for the redirect to this thread Surely. I have to say I've been quite happy with my isles this year. We had no business winning that game against Toronto the other night. 61 shots...58 saves by Roli. But at this point, some very nice progression by the young guys. If we just had a solid blueline we could really consider playoff's this year. Well hope they beat the Flyers tonight.!
Lets Go Islanders!!
