im a loyal Leafs fan but even i realize we suck lol. We have stuff to look forward to though, screw kessel until november as long as Victor Stalberg makes the team ill have fun watching them lol

the only canadian team in the NHL i cant stand is Edmonton


my predictions ill do now

East:

Boston
Washington
New Jersey
Pittsburgh
Philadelphia
Carolina
New York
Buffalo


Ottawa
Montreal
Toronto
Tampa Bay
Atlanta
Florida
NY Islanders


Ottawa or Montreal could bump the Rangers and/or Sabres depending on how Leclaire plays in net & how the Habs mesh together/ top line can handle the other teams & if Gaborik gets hurt, I see Pittsburgh dropping to 6th if Crosby gets injured or misses to many games which looks probable with his recent groin problems.



West:

Vancouver
SJS
Detroit
Chicago
Anaheim
Columbus
Calgary
St Louis

Dallas
Nashville
Minnesota
LA Kings
Edmonton
Colorado
Phoenix



Can put non playoff teams in any order really, as long as phoenix and NYI stay at bottom lol


Also Nashville could replace St Louis depending on how Rinne plays, same for Dallas banking on Turco having a bounce back year.

Fleury Retires lol

Well... the good season of Canada's 2 seasons starts tomorrow: HOCKEY SEASON! Pretty stoked for it.

found out my teacher(who happens to be deaf blind) hates the leafs, but loves the flyers

Sounds like a smart teacher to me

i was hoping for him to sign montreal. but flyers came instead.

and to think, i was doing thumbs down wth him when he mentioned the leafs.

buffalo > montreal

let the countdown begin 12 hours till season starts. 9 Hours technically but no one watches the leaf games anymore.

your right.

BUT people watch the Montreal game. so 9 hours fuckers

and furt i thought u were a pengs fan u big homo?

lol.

DROPPING THE PUCK@@@@@

Nice goals so far in the Mtl vs Tor game, specially Stajan's goal, sick mid air deflection on a slapshot pass. 2-2 heading into 3rd, GO Habs GO!


O-T: lol @ Sergei Kostitsyn asking for a trade 'cause he was sent to Hamilton. He never proved anything and thinks he has earned a permanent spot in the NHL. GTFO asap pls.

i watched the last 10 minutes of the second. then i had to do homework . its going atm and i wanna see it but cant leave my comp l

dont like the fact moen was pushed into toskala by komisarek then toskala crosschecking the front of him down.
it should of been 4-4 komisarek for roughing moen for not having his shirt tied down(lol)
but no he also gets goalie interference for being shoved into him nice.
bs started already

decent game so far

i totally agree with sergei and it sucks but its true. i always liked him and thought he had great potential.
he needs to shut the fuck up and get better.always pictured him n brother dominatiing wings on a line together

just saw the score, lold when i saw montreal win it


and the power play that Toronto got because of goalie interference was a fucking joke. the guy got pushed, then cross checked, then punched in the head and tryed getting away form the fight. yet he gets the penalty. i was pissed lol.

this as i stated above
but thats hockey

edit: what the hell is wrong with vancouver, im barely paying attention but 3-0 in the 1st? o.0

ya it was more of a comment towards what you said, that i agreed.

see i know i complain about refs alot and im gonna try not to this season
but fuck its hard when shit like this always happens.
win or not its the principal of the matter

thank god vancouver lost the first game. They needed that badly they felt over confident coming off a 7-0-2 pre season and that first period woke them up. Nice try at the comeback but expect more saturday afternoon.

toronto lose

Calgary won


MTL TOR game was pretty decent, Komisarek is an idiot though and our Defence sucked more cock then sand man, I thought Beauchemin was some praised Defenceman from Anaheim who played more minutes a game then pronger and neidermayer in the cup finals when they won lol? He was fucking horrible vs the habs last night

Gonna be interesting to see how Stalberg pans out. Any word on Markov btw? I have him in my Hockey Pool L him going down didnt look too good for me since my back up defenceman is.......



























































Wade Redden! WOOT! i got shafted

Yep the goalie interference penalty to Moen was bullshit. The NHL/Refs headquarters are in Toronto so I have no idea why they sucked so much. Komisarek was trying so hard to prove something but in the end all he proved is that he is able to take a shitload of stupid penalties to put his team in trouble, which he successfully did. Good job Mr. Im worth 5M+ lol, yeah right.

O-T: Further LOL seriously why the hell would you ever think of adding the most ridiculously overpaid D in your pool?

markov out 4months......
way to start out the season

looks like Furter's fantasy season is done with his lack of depth on the back end.

I left the draft after my first 3 picks and ended up with him L, i just traded him for brent burns though LOL


My team for one of my pools looks pretty good:


Lecavalier
Thornton

Kovalchuk
Eriksson

selanne
Pomminville

Rafalski
Markov (now Brent Burns)
Mark Streit
Brayden Coburn

My Bench/IR:

Markov
Gionta
Zajac

Goalies:

chris osgood (got him purely for win points)
chris mason
jon quick


I think i did pretty good imo, my other pools were weak though my #1 and #2 centers in one are Jason Arnott and Frolik lol. I had Markov on 3/4 pools LOL, and Spacek for one aswell

i see what you did thur!




anyways, pretty shity to see markov though, one of the 'bigger guys' on the tema out, really shitty actually, mtl needs some power.



and LOL me and my dad where making fun fo the leafs for trying to be the braud street bullies.

All i got to say is Ouch Montreal there goes your playoff hopes lol

blackhawks all the way

its ok, your leafs gave up 60 years ago


and if im right? i believe they still beat the leafs without him for half the game?


ilu junior

Pretty sure if you watched the game you'd know that the Habs were outplayed pretty much the entire game so its not exactly like Montreal fans can be gloating all that much about it.

Toskala is shit.

edit:

Anyone else lol'ing at Bettman for pushing his olympic non participation agenda even though its pretty apparent all of the stars want to/will go anyway. The nhlpa better get their shit together or Bettman and the owners are going to have a field day with this issue and the cba coming up.

Colton Orr and Jay Rosehill are the only 2 tough guys on the team, i like watching Rosehill fight out of everyone on our team and hes a rook lol

But yah big blow to Montreal, Atleast Carey Price looks like the top 10 goalie he should have looked like last year



Unforunately, we here in Toronto who are Leaf fans, Do not have this type of goalie under the category "can steal games" for us when our team is slacking. Ron Wilson is an immense douche with a man love for Toskala and will do whatever he can to keep playing Toskala it seems, he has already said hes shielding Toskala from the media..... Toskala sucks, everyone knows it, Ron Wilson just seems to think if he keeps him the #1 he will regain form? WHAT FORM???

I seriously hope that Ron Wilson just plain gets fired after this season if he keeps playing Toskala as the #1, id rather throw gustavsson in and let him fail/succeed to get an idea where he's at in North America, then waste games on Toskala.

who said we weren't outplayed lol..?


i was surprised we won, it was a shitty call that got the leafs the third goal, but other then that they worked harder and outplayed montreal. HOWEVER montreal did come out on top, and as the saying goes "by 1 or a 100, a win is a win".

montreal i thik will be able to pick it up, they do have a lot of potential as a team, they got some fast guys on there, they just gotta learn to take a hit and learn to use there FULL body.

I hope you are never the Leafs coach. They might actually improve and win some games.


Canucks off to a blazing 0-2 start. Fuck whoever made noon/AM games. Seriously, I'm fucking still passed out from the night before. I don't want to be getting drunk when the game will end before the day has even begun.

I hope Bettman dies this year. I think it's one thing everyone can cheer on together.

i honestly agree with you for once

as much as i hate the leafs...ron is a fucking retard.

also we need an assassination on bettman.

2-1 win
nifty game winner if i do say so myself.

price looks solid but if they dont play harder and better in front of him he wont keep it up.

first 2 games of the season he won for us....now they need to repay him with some offense and better play

price was amazing, it's only been 2 games but I really think he is on the top of it for the full year. That is of course if Bettman doesnt make him go play in some shitty all star game again

Avalanche look decent this year, a healthy stastny(sp), a decent goalie, & MATT DUCHENE, are making a big difference lol

watching price the other night was amazing, he looks so much more comfortable on the ground, before he was kinda ll over the place, they said he was working with the goalie couch form ottawa, so i lold. but hell he does look a lot better. hopefully he has a good year, and doesn't choke again lol.

ye still pissed that Ontario didn't get another team.

Montreal lose o bryne for 6 weeks gg montreal defense

Funny thing is every time MTL goes on a massive injury streak, they get a shitload of undeserved/lucky wins just like in the last 2 games. Ugly wins still = 2 pts so I'll gladly take em till Markov comes back.

this.

Should be interesting Wednesday night when Vancouver rapes Montreal defense and lights up carry price.

Wouldn't really talk yet...we're 0-2 and they are 2-0 lol.

0-3 now

gotta bring some shit talking to this topic. its borring with no shit talking

So true. At least the Canucks will finally get their first win of the year. Cause I mean, it's Montreal.

i hope they do, fuck man i seen some kids on HFboards.com actually praising Raycroft. Luongo needs to win badly before people actually think raycroft is an NHL calibre goalie

HFboards.com is full of retards lol. It's all the bangwagonners who think they know shit because they own at all NHL video games thus making them experts in the game.

IS ANYONE WATCHING BRIAN BURKE ON OTR ROFL.

This guy is hilarious he seems like he doesn't give a shit watch landsberg is saying and the way he says were goign to break folks LOL
