Holy New Jersey Devils and Scott Clemmensen!!
Holy crappy Penguins! Bye-bye Michel Therrien. I guess losing to the Leafs 6-2 after being up 2-0 is the last straw.
Holy third hat trick of the season Ovechkin! Wowzers.
Lots of good stuff right there.......
EDIT: I thought this story was pretty cool: NHL play-by-play in Punjabi scores big time
Video report.

dude islanders
what about senators? I would be more depressed cause they were actually good two seasons ago.
dude... the rangers....
Sunday was awful to watch... I left after the fourth goal... i got up grabbed my jacket and walked. If your familiar with the Garden i was walking by the team store by the escalators that lead down to the play by play restaurant and they scored again... Pathetic. Who gets scored on a 5 on 3
I don't think Avery is the answer and i don't know if firing Renny will do anything. Who would they get, who's available.
PS this thread is dying i hate going to HF boards those people are idiots!!! lol

man rangers has such a good start. When everything when downhill from there.
The Kings better win tonight. I'm extremely upset with the way they have played the last 10 years(for the most part). They had a good little streak going until a few nights ago.
What about the Sens? They just won their 5th game in a row......

Yeah, the Rangers better get their sh*t together, they're only 2 points from missing the playoffs. They had such a strong start..... what happened there?
I don't think that Avery is the final answer, but he'll help. He'll definitely bring some energy to the team and will distract the media for a while. The players are fine with him coming back.
How about Pat Quinn? He wants back in, and it's a damn shame that he isn't coaching somewhere in the NHL right now. I thought that the Sens would hire him, but they went with Cory Clouston instead. If they keep playing well under Clouston, they'll hold on to him (they're already paying big $$$ to a couple of fired coaches).
Quinn would be a good fit in NY.
Glen Sather has destroyed any reputation he built up with the Oilers.
We need to start a 'Save the Thread' Campaign......
Mike Keenan accused Willie Mitchell of using an illegal stick- one that is too long for someone his size. This is how he (with a little help from the equipment guys) responded:

Classic. In Calgary too.

^Holy Jeebus!!! That stick would even be too big for Chara to use!
My apologies to everyone in this thread, have been very preoccupied with somethings and have been unable to properly contribute.
And here's a shocker, the Islanders lost to the Rags last night.
Oh wait.

Well it looks official and Renny has been fired from the Rags. I don't think it will matter but we'll see. Will Tortorella been the next ranger coach? Do you think he has to take this crap team and lead them deep into the playoffs?
I can't wait for tomorrow nights game in Montreal. The Canucks are finally playing as good as they look on paper.
The game in Toronto on Saturday night was easily one of the best hockey games I've ever seen. Not to mention how Sundin capped it off in brilliant fashion!
*hugs Sundin Canucks jersey that's hung on the wall*

Yeah, that was pretty awesome. I was listening to the game in Los Angeles on my iPhone using the Corus App* (sorry, but how cool is that?!?!) and knew right when they announced him as the third shooter that he would score the winner. I'm glad he did- I think it was necessary for closure.
You should feel very fortunate to be able to watch a guy like Sundin play every night. He was brilliant for the Leafs during his 13 years. It was a pleasure to watch him. It's a shame that the management was never able to fully compliment him while he was a Leaf.
He looks weird in the Canucks uniform.
*The Corus App has a list of all of Corus' radio stations from across Canada, including Toronto's AM 640, which plays all the Leafs games. It allows you to stream the stations live to your iPhone/iPod Touch. It even works well on EDGE. It is amazing- I can walk around or drive around LA and listen to live Canadian radio. Leaf games start at 4:30 pm here, which is perfect for me- I can listen to the game while I'm at the gym. BTW, I have no affiliation to Corus, I'm just really happy I can listen live while I'm oot and aboot.
Martin Brodeur is god of the nets.
3-0 with 2 shutouts since returning from his 12 week injury (biceps muscle tear).
Trade deadline coming up in a few days...... should be an interesting one.....

^Nobody seems to know what's going on with Billy. There have been a lot of reports that him and Gordon are butting heads over the new system and that Gordon is pulling the younger players off to the side to talk with them separately.
The Isles are essentially a 3 Ring Circus.
The trade dead line should be awesome, as always. Since I am unemployed I will be spending all day watching it

That sucks, TDD- hope you're at least enjoying your time off......
Rumors point to Guerin going to the Caps. The Caps are neither confirming or denying, so it's very plausible. There is a snag right now though- the Caps need to trade a player in order to add Guerin to the team. They have room under the cap, but there is another rule regarding only being able to have 50 players signed to NHL contracts at a time. The Caps already have 50, so they need to move one of them to make room for Guerin.
What does everyone think about Ovechkin's goal celebrations? There was a big controversy last week on HNIC- basically Don Cherry calling Ovechkin out for showboating.
I think it's great how he celebrates- he looks like he's having fun, and at least he's doing something to get noticed. Maybe it'll help put the NHL back onto highlight reels. I love Cherry and all, but I totally disagree with him on this one. What do you guys think?
I moved 2 weeks ago to Maryland (I'm now a Caps fan
... well I'm an Isles fan first and always but now I have a good team to root for) The free time is a blessing and a curse at the same time. Needless to say, I'd rather be working. Alas, I'd normally take trade deadline day off. I mean, it's a holiday and all.I heard about him going to the Caps, Newsday's Greg Logan said that it's flat out wrong. Alas, anything is possible. I'm curious where the Caps could use Billy though.
Honestly? What's wrong with showing some emotion after scoring a goal? It's just like the NFL's attempt to stop longer TD celebration.
AO is the game's best player hands down (forward/wing wise) He goes out and does what he loves to do, which is to play hockey. The kid scores, assists, hits and is a leader for his team. What more could you possibly want from him?
Agreed. He's the Sidney Crosby of the NHL. Oh, wait......
More accurately, he's what the NHL hoped Crosby would be, instead of just the great player (with a boring personality who is very good at chirping at the refs) that he is.
It has begun..... the Devils traded defencemen with Atlanta today...... looks like they're making a run for the Cup again.....
Agreed.
Do you think the rangers will get Avery as the rumors suggest? Anyone seen Thomas's OT goof
You think the Pronger rumors are true? Is he off to boston? i hope not, i hope the fail big time!I hate Don Cherry. I think he is soooo far out of touch with the hockey world and that he likes to hear himself talk. He hasn't said much that I have agreed with lately...
Ovechkin and Malkin is where its at...I think Malkin has a good personality like Ovechkin; however him not speaking English holds him back a little bit

I do think that Avery will be a Ranger. Sather and Torts will be able to control him.
I haven't seen the Thomas thing you're talking about? Linky?
Last thing I read was that Pronger was staying put in Anaheim. Seeing him in Boston is a scary thing. Imagine Chara and Pronger paired up...... yikes!
Hate is such a strong word. I don't agree with you. I still watch Coach's Corner every week, and for the most part, Cherry is right on. He can't be right about everything. Cherry knows hockey and has probably watched more hockey than anyone else in Canada and the world. He's not out of touch- his base of experience is coming from an era when players didn't show emotion like Ovechkin does.
