A Leafs fan telling a Habs fan to lighten up. Oh, the irony.

As for what he said, he was pretty much correct on every count except the Hal Gill deal. Giving a human pylon 2.25 a year was not a smart idea, no matter who came up with it. Cup or not.

Then again, Toronto probably would have given him 4 million and a NTC if he had waited a few more days.

Happy with the success of surpassing the first rep threshold, they think they've gained more respect from TiB members. Upgrade to less plausible drunken stories that they swear really happened.Happy with the success of surpassing the first rep threshold, they think they've gained more respect from TiB members.

I thought the same thing. Watching him in Pittsburgh last year was rough. He seemed to get woefully out of position too many times and he isn't as physical as a guy his size is expected to be.

I went to the Caps/Pens game yesterday. Wicked fun time and I really thought Pgh was going to run away with it but man they fell apart in the 3rd. Both teams played piss poor in their own zone. The early start time and extra traveling time from Montreal in the bad weather might have played a part, but they've still given up at least 4 goals in each of the past 3 games. They get to rest for 2 days and have a 3 game home stand against teams they should beat before the Olympic break. Hopefully they can go out with a little momentum.

Gill is great on the PK but pretty useless even strength. Useful to have, not useful to pay more than two million dollars to.

Kari Lehtonen traded to the Stars

Apparently with Emery's uncertain status due to injury, Philadelphia might be looking at Turco for the playoffs.

Man I would've killed to be at that game. I was worried I would be snowed in if I got tickets (which I was, couldn't leave my house until yesterday and now I'm snowed in again - seriously is this ever going to end?).

They actually have three away games before the Olympic break. Tonight in Montreal, then Ottawa and St. Louis. They have to win all three to tie the record for most consecutive wins (17) set by the Pens*. After the Olympic break would be the Senators to break the record.

So can they do it? I think so. Will the Olympic break hurt their momentum?


*My Flyers fan boyfriend will be quick to point out that the most UNBEATEN consecutive games is 35 by the Flyers when the league had ties (25 wins).

Sorry. I am a Penguins fan, so when I said "they" I meant Pittsburgh. I hate the Caps.

Living within walking distance of Verizon has its advantages though.

Sorry about that - would have been obvious if I read your post more closely. I got too excited when I thought someone else wanted to talk about the Caps, ha.

Looks like their win streak is about to be over anyway, 5-2 going into the third vs Montreal. Though the Caps were ripped off on that one goal that got overturned.

Oh well.

So, Dominic Moore for a 2nd rounder... The Pierre Gauthier era is shaping up to be REAL nice.

I'd like to think it's a precursor to some larger moves. Jacques Martin has a friggin hardon for Moore, doesn't he? It's two trade deadlines in a row that he's acquired him.

At least it's in 2011, which essentially (it's believed) is the equivalent to a 3rd this year. I just don't get how Moore was even traded for a 2nd round pick in the first place. That greedy bastard is the kind of player who's a dime a dozen, especially on a team like Montreal, who probably have guys in Hamilton who are more skilled than he is.

I've got to say this, without being any more of a biased Canadiens fan, P.K. Subban is the real deal. Look out for him tomorrow night, especially if the 1st PP shooter is out with injury, Subban get a lot of playing time.

Penguins trade 2nd round pick for Jordan Leopold.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=4956502
Not a blockbuster trade, but it is a good move for a team that has been having troubles in the defensive zone.

Excited for the NHL to start back up.

I hope Miller gets a big ovation when he skates into Pittsburgh.

We'll also see how the break affected each team: who used it to re-group, who lost their momentum, etc.

Avery mocks Talbot's fighting style:



Maxime Lapierre's cross-check to the back last night on Scott Nichol:



I found Avery funny while the Lapierre hit needs no explanation. BS play to say the least. No call on the play and I would personally suspend him 2 or 3 games.

Pretty ballsy of Avery, i think it's easier to mock his fighting style. You know, where he runs and hides from everyone who wants to fight him?

I'll ask Sherwood since I know he's probably watched a lot more Devils than me. Is Marty Brodeur washing ashore? Understanding that calling him anything less than one of the 5 best goalies ever would be heresy, I'd say that post-lockout Marty Brodeur has been great, but not for the full season. He always plays the first 50-60 games at his typical level, but he's clearly wearing down faster and seeing no fewer starts than he did a decade ago clearly affects his starts. That Calgary game was brutal. At least three of those goals were soft. Compound this with his mediocre Olympics and he looks like a tired dude right now. He'll turn 38 in May and you have to wonder how many more seasons of playing 60-70 games plus playoffs he has in him. I say two, but his workload has to be cut or he's in trouble. It's science.

I'm a Sabres fan (PirateCore on the old board) so obviously I'm grimacing, fully expecting this macabre collection of softies and primas donnas to collapse from previously contending for the top seed to, at best, losing in the 2nd round. Awesome. Ryan Miller might be the best goaltender in the league right now and I feel like every season we don't put a Cup contender out there is a disservice to him. But I will say this: If you haven't had a chance yet or your team hasn't played all its games against Buffalo yet, watch Tyler Myers. He has to be the odds-on favorite to win the Calder. Smooth as glass with surprising speed and a nice slapper. He's a 20 year old 6'8" 220 lb defenseman and he hasn't even fully developed physically. He leads the team in ice time and plays in every big situation. There's no other blue liner on this team that comes close to what this kid can do. You have to love finally getting a guy who just comes up to the pro level and gets it right away. So I'm rooting for that to distract me from the fact that if the Sabres weren't in a crappy division, they'd be struggling for their playoff lives.
