The NHL Thread

[Ben Kenobi]

That should please Asher.

Last time Atlanta had a team, it went to Calgary.

Devils are playing good defensive hockey, with Brodeur backstopping brilliantly!

Brodeur for Vezina?

[cinch]

There is one reason why Kovalchuck wont' be the next Federov.... he doesn't play defense . It's his main down point. Heatley does play defense from time to time, so he is more liked by the coaching staff .

True, true... Maybe Hartly can teach Kovalchuk to play defence? Rub off some of that Forsberg magic?

Kovalchuk might be too young and hotheaded for that now, though... He pretty much already thinks he's fantastic... Maybe in time.

[Imran Siddiqui]

He's definetly due. He should have gotten it a few times in his career.

[Ben Kenobi]

Yeah, I like Gaborik's attitude. He works well with Jacques Lemaire.

Brodeur has been stimied by a superb now-retired Czech.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yes, but at least one of those years, I thought Brodeur deserved the award over Hasek.

Who won tonight's game, Imran?

I was listening to the game on the radio. Fun game, not bad, not bad at all.

We were still robbed.

[Asher]

Turek proved once again he belongs in the minors...

Next season we'd better have a good goalie.

Hitting players on the bench... disgraceful. Tucker should be suspsended for the rest of the season. At least bastards like Marchment leave it on the ice.

I agree. The Leafs would be better off without Tucker. He has a history of doing the wrong thing at wrong time.

No kidding. Ottawa's ten times the team Toronto is, but they still seem to have problems against the Leafs.

Ottawa's a bunch of pussies who have no desire for the Cup. That's why they always fade away in the playoffs.

Fact: Toronto routinely wipes out the Sens in the playoffs and that's why the Leafs are 10 times better than the Ottawa fluff.

My Hawks have sunk to the basement in the West. I wonder what its like to have ownership that wants to win? In Chicago, owner Bill Wirtz doesn't televise home games because he feels people won't come to games if he did.

And with the Blackhawks' Western road trips, most televised games are on at 9PM or 10 PM at night. Way to get exposure for your team!

Anyone want to trade owners?

The hawks taken down by a stripper. They've sucked since that incident.

Oh, the shame.

I like Tucker, although I see why he is hated by others. And I like fighting. Ottawa are a bunch of powder puffs - the Leafs managed to put a third of their forwards out of the game by the end of it and all they could do was whine.

The Leafs ought to do OK - I mean if Domi is on the verge of becoming a 20 goal scorer anything can happen. Having said that I reckon Vancouver will take the cup.

I don't believe I've ever heard of the Blackhawks' stripper incident: do tell, Sava.

[CrONoS]

wow a forum about NHL hockey... oh yeah
....
but do I really care... my teams the Montreal Candian wont be able to make the series...ggrrrr

[Flubber]

What do people think of tthe Leafs trade? I think it made them appreciably stronger while giving up nothing that will impact their cup aspirations for the next two years in the least

[Imran Siddiqui]

Who won tonight's game, Imran?

Who has the better record, Asher?

Anyone can win a game! Hell, Atlanta has a few wins this years. It is consistantly winning that does it .

[Kontiki]

I'd love to see Tucker get the crap pounded out of him - same goes for Domi. I'm first and foremost a Vancouver fan, but I do cheer for the Leafs in the East (I should - I live in Toronto). It just amazes me that the Leafs think that there is this vendetta against them by the refs/league brass/rest of the league but can't understand why. I have never, ever seen a team collectively whine, make stupid decisions and complain about everything as much as the Leafs. At least Gary Roberts seems to be having enough. After everyone else on the team vented about how much the refs cost them the game, Roberts had the integrity to say that the team needs to back off the refs.
