The best part of the Maple Leafs embarrassing loss last night is this video by Steve Dangle, it is gold, well worth the three minutes. Love the Gollum impression at the end. 'Precious has been waiting since 1967!'

eh.... Maybe if it wasn't edited, I would agree.

9-2 after Buf loss!! Perfect time to send them two 1st for Kessel

This was funny.

Leads fans have really been screwed for almost 50 years. The closest they've been to the precious for a long time was taking Boston to 7 games in round 1.

Leafs put Matt Frattin on waivers; Red Wings place Andrej Nestrasil on waivers as well

Frattin on waivers.

Gaborik should have been a Bruin.

Was at the Isles/Bolts game last night. I was surprisingly unimpressed by the Bolts, but I'm gonna chalk it up to it being their second game of a back-to-back, though.

The Islanders, on the other hand... that's a damn exciting team to watch

Pascale Dupuis out for 6 months

I'd take Nestrasil over Gagne

I would too

Nestrasil sounds like a brand of a nasal spray.

lol it really does

Thus, I'd also prefer him over Gagne.

Exactly my thoughts.

Stick a fork in NHL players at the Olympics according to Sportsnet.

I see Gagne as Pandolfo part II.

At this point I would rather almost anyone over Gagne.

Saw the announcement about Dupuis-that is pretty scary for him. Hopefully he heals up well and is able to return to hockey. Hate the Pens but I hate to see any player sick or injured.

Honestly, that's kind of crappy. Hard to tell how it will be recieved by the players, though.

I bet some players will play in the olympics anyways.

I bet Ovie plays anyway and he probably isn't the only one. I figure European players are the most likely to play anyway mostly because I think the North American Olympic federations won't encourage NHL players to play.

I think the Olympics should move to an upper age limit kind of like soccer does in the Olympics. Make a cut off age at 23 and then it mostly becomes moot for the NHL and it won't be a matter of sending college and junior kids to play against experienced men from Europe.

 

[Gee Wally]

I bet most wont.
First theyll be suspended for breach of contract plus whatever else in fines.

Thats big, big money for these players.

Second, if they get injured they will be on their own insurance wise and most likely can have their contract voided.

I think at the least it will be interesting .

this thread is too quiet. where my crew at

Nice passing leads to PP goal by the Rangers. Nice to see instead of a crappy deflection.

 

[Neely08]

Right there is what you'd expect a line w/ St.Louis and Nash to look like.

That was sweeeet.

Oil and Nucks up and down track meet.

 

[C77]

Wow...Rangers + Flyers going end to end there. Very entertaining.

Don't see that enough these days.

Coburn seriously struggling since the ankle injury
