Mooney... how can you call Subban disrespectful, when you have the likes of Milan Lucic on your team? At least Subban is only a mere ***** disturber, compared to Lucic, who gets plastered drunk and throws stuff at his girlfriend in public. lol... yeah, let's talk about no respect..
Got a tip for us?

that's disrespectful to the game.
Traveling this week so I can't do this justice. Agree with Ziox obviously. You do show a good one from Marchmont - a hallmark of the Habs game. On average I'd wager a weeks pay the the Habs are far more guilty in an given year.
I'll be back with you by the weekend.
Robo, that's Richard's opinion. He's one to talk about respect, after his head-hunting of David Booth.. I don't need to show that link.. we've all seen it. Fact of the matter is that PK is hated in the league, because of how he plays. He's cocky, and he's mouthy... and don't tell me you wouldn't be defending him if he were on your team, because you would. His talent is undeniable, and everyone can't stand it.

How many years has he been playing?

lol.. I don't mind that it took the Cup champs to put out the Habs. Remember.. you were one goal away from losing that series.. so don't be getting too cocky. (Not to mention, we had no Markov or Gorges.. I'd love to see how you'd of done without Chara and Ference)

Our #1 goalie is out with a concussion. Ron Wilson messed with Gustavsson's head when he didn't start him as he should have against Boston on Saturday night. Scrivens got shelled, and then Wilson decided to start Gustavsson against Florida (see the previous sentence for the reason Gustavsson didn't play well). Wilson gambled, and lost.
That being said, the entire team needs to take responsibility for playing like crap. They need to come out and win a solid game against the Blues tomorrow.

Not playing Gustavsson in Boston is not a good enough reason for him to play like crap.
And I always read the CBC Leaf stories, and all the comments. People are saying so many negative things about the goaltending, but it has only really been 2 bad games all up, by 2 different goalies. The media writes stories that make it sound like the goalies have been struggling. Judging by his comments, even Wilson is giving up on them.
Let's not jump the gun. I don't think Gustavsson has been playing too poorly overall (yes, the last game was bad, and he will let in a stoppable goal every 1 or 2 games), and Scrivens has played in the equivalent of 2 NHL games, and he stopped 38 of 39 shots in one of them.
I'm hoping Wilson plays Gustavsson against St. Louis. Wilson needs to let him know that he's the proper backup goalie to Reimer, and that he should play like it. Scrivens is getting a chance to play, but he's not the 2nd option. He's 3rd.
You can hope, but Wilson has decided to start Scrivens. You're absolutely right- Wilson needs to let Gustavsson know that he's the proper backup goalie to Reimer, but for some reason, he isn't. Gustavsson should be the automatic starter while Reimer is out, and Scrivens should only start in a back-to-back games situation. How could this not shake Gustavsson's confidence? Wilson is basically saying that he has such little faith in him that he would rather start a guy who has practically no NHL experience. Sure, Scrivens played well in his win against Columbus, but Columbus is the worst team in the league.
Anyways, why aren't we talking about this? Good for Laviolette for having his players do this. F the trap.
The ref incorrectly blew the play dead a couple of times, and apparently the league called them during the game to instruct them to not interfere with coaching strategies.
I know its still early, but after a two game Canada sweep, Florida is 1st in the SE. Of course I know Washington has games in hand, and like I said earlier, the season is still early, but barring any major injuries, they will be in it till the end of the regular season.

Philly could have actually received a penalty for that:
Rule 63.1 Delaying the Game A player or a team may be penalized when, in the opinion of the Referee, is delaying the game in any manner.
I hate the trap, but its part of the game unfortunately. I think its ridiculous that TB uses it, because of their personnel.
Why would it be a delay of game? Philly did not cover the puck, obstruct access to the puck, prevent the play of the puck, or put the puck out of play.
I wouldn't pay to see my home team if they played that way.
Too bad, I can't believe I am going to say this, Philly didn't win.

Last I checked a team only needs one more goal than the other team to be awarded the win

Totally agree......even on the Philly winning part (I feel dirty).
The Flyers did nothing that warranted a penalty. They did not delay the game. The puck was in play, and they can't be blamed if the other team decides that they don't want it.
If you're going to go there, then it would be fair to say that the Bolts also delayed the game. They did nothing to try to get the puck, and just sat there waiting. I'm not going there though. I don't think either team deserved a penalty.
The NHL contacted the refs during the game to tell them to let the Flyers do what they were doing. They didn't tell them to call a delay of game penalty if the Flyers did it again. They were told that they were not to interfere with coaching strategies.
I've read and listened to multiple commentaries about that game, and I can't remember a single one that stated that the Flyers should have been penalized. I even heard Colin Campbell talk about it on a radioshow, and he didn't say a thing about it being a delay of game.
Scrivens! Another win for the Leafs thanks to good goaltending by Scrivens.
I'm not really sure what Ron Wilson should do with the goaltending situation, but I'd rather see Scrivens in net at the moment.

I agree. Gustavsson is kind of ruined for now. Ride the kid.....
I highly recommend listening to this podcast. It's today's (Nov. 11th) HockeyCentral@Noon episode, that you can hear daily on the FAN590 in Toronto, Sirius 157, and it's also on Sportsnet TV: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/november-11th-edition-hockeycentral/id354153569?i=105507340
Doug Gilmour was the guest for the entire hour, and Gary Roberts was a call in guest during the last segment. They talked about old times, the practical jokes that Gilmour used to play on his teammates, the difference in the dressing room from back then to now (hint: back then, iPods weren't around), the nightlife, the famous milk commercial that Dougie did, the death threats he received, etc.
I'll share one story from the program....... they were talking about this open skate that they had back when Gilmour and Kypreos were teammates on the Leafs. The skate was open to the public (I would imagine there was some sort of ticket required), and was held at Maple Leaf Gardens. Kypreos was new to the team, having recently been traded to the Leafs. He's in the dressing room, and the only people in there are people who are supposed to be in there: players, staff, coaches, etc. He sees this guy across the room wearing a Gilmour jersey, a hat, sunglasses, and fake teeth. He's thinking that some crazy fan snuck in. So, Kypreos goes angrily over to the guy to ask him wtf he's doing in there, when the guy laughs and takes off the hat, glasses, teeth. It's actually Doug Gilmour. Kypreos laughs and asks him why he's dressed that way. Dougie replied that it's so crazy out there, there's so many fans everywhere, that he wouldn't have been able to get past them to the dressing room. So, he figured that he'd dress like a crazy fan, fit in, and easily sneak through. It worked.
I love hearing stories like that.
Congrats to all of the 2011 HHOF inductees: Ed Belfour, Doug Gilmour, Mark Howe and Joe Nieuwendyk. A great class.
My boys the Hawks did a great job tonight, even with Emery in the net! God, that guy makes me nervous.

Did you read the rule I posted? It could have been considered a delay of game penalty because the Flyers were delaying the game purposely. They are suppose to talk about the trap at the next GMs meetings coming up. I dont know how you would be able to do away with it though.
