god damn bruins.
i live in detroit and am a long time red wings fan. cant believe we lost to them.
Same here. I was thinking we would win. Conklin gave up threeand Ozzy gave up one. Nice goal by Hudler though. Still I have to say, Go Wings Go!
man sometimes i think why would we put conk in when we play important games. Experience? get over the pressure? get ready for playoff? if those are the reasons thats thats damn good strategy.
But yeah huddy (hudler i like to call him huddy) is playing amazing this year.
Woo-hoo!
I'm going to the Leafs vs. Kings game at Staples Center tomorrow night! I bought tickets tonight. I got 6th row from the glass seats!
The Kings are having a Thanksgiving promotion- if you enter in the code 'turkey', you get select seats for 50% off!! I got two 6th row seats for $117.75. In Toronto, you couldn't even get half of a 6th row seat for $118, never mind two seats!
I'm hyped!
It'll be my first game at the Staples Center since I moved here and my first live Leafs game in like 3-4 years.
Go Leafs Go.

^That's awesome! I do trust that you'll be taken pictures.
The Islanders simply own the Sens this season... then again the Sens suck. But I'll take it!

I'll most definitely be taking pictures- and some video. I'll have my JB'ed iPhone with me.
I'm bringing my Canon with me as well to get some better shots.
It would be cool to be on tv so my friends back in Toronto can see me. I'll be wearing my blue Leafs jersey and sitting up close, so I would think that I'll make it into at least one shot.

What a game! The first period was kind of eh, but the second and third were great. Leafs won 3-1. All of the Leafs' goals were scored on the end that we were sitting at, right in front of us.
We had 6th row seats which turned out to be 3rd row seats from the glass, and then for the second and third period we moved over towards center ice and sat in 5th row seats- there were two full rows (rows 4 and 5) of section 109 that were completely empty.
Lots of Leafs fans, lots of Leafs jerseys. It was awesome to hear the "Go Leafs Go!" chant in another team's arena.
Here are some photos I took. One photo is from mapleleafs.com because I found an action shot that shows me sitting in the crowd (I circled us in red). How 'bout them seats?

And just to make it four posts in a row.....
Did anyone see this quote by Sean Avery:
"I'm really happy to be back in Calgary, I love Canada and I just wanted to comment on how it's become a common thing for guys in the NHL to fall in love with my sloppy seconds. I don't what that's about, enjoy the game tonight," Avery told media after the Tuesday morning skate.
He's referring to Deon Phaneuf (Flames defenseman), who is dating Avery's ex-girlfriend, Elisha Cuthbert.
That's classic!
EDIT: An update on this. Avery has been suspended indefinitely by the NHL for his comments.
Dallas Stars forward Sean Avery has been suspended indefinitely, pending a hearing with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, in accordance with the provisions of NHL By-Law 17 and Article 6 of the NHL Constitution for conduct "detrimental to the League or game of hockey," the National Hockey League announced today. The suspension was imposed following inappropriate public comments, not pertaining to the game, made by Avery earlier today.
I didn't see that coming. I guess the NHL is getting tired of Avery's schtick?

Nice. During the Wings game I made it on TV as well. You could see my Bright Red Detroit Jersey. Also made it on TV during the Ducks game, Also got booed by those Ducks Fans. My Friend is from Toronto. I'm from Vancouver.
Hilarious on Avery's part, as usual. Total BS move by the NHL though, wtf! Since when does trash talk = an indefinite suspension? I saw the headline and thought that he'd finally gone over the line and really hurt someone with a hite from behind or something, it really surprised me to see that it was from a statement he made.

Hey TDD: The Leafs and the Isles played last night..... who won? I can't seem to find the score......
How did Jason Blake do? I wish he could play the Isles every night......
BTW, the first segment of today's Hockeycentral podcast was about the Isles.

Those Kings 3rd jerseys are hideous. There sure are alot of BRUTAL jerseys now, none worse than the Oilers which look like practice jerseys. Sad. Some teams had classic unis and never should have switeched (Islanders, Oilers, Sabres, Canucks). The best ones are the ones that basically stayed constant like the original 6.
