As I said in the GDT, it could be a way to make sure Jimmy gets the rest in case Monster gets hurt like he frequently has in the past.

Lol, doing that to the Macallan would be alcohol abuse. . I may splurge for a bottle of the 18 year sherry oak instead of the 15 year fine oak I've been enjoying for the last 14 months or so. Agreed. Smith is showing why everyone was so high on him as a prospect. They are both foing to be rock solid, imho. Could be, though I don't recall hearing about a 48 hour goalie IR before. Could they be making sure Jimmy gets the rest just in case Monster gets hurt as he's been prone to do over his career? It also shows some respect to Mrazek, imho, and lets him know he's not left to rot in GR.

I think Babs is going to do 1 year deals like Bowman did and laugh at the press rumors.

Buffalo is asking way too much for him. It almost feels like his Calder season was a fluke like Jim Carey's was for the Caps. A mid level prospect and a 2nd or 3rd is the most I'd give up (or Kindl, but I think he's going to get it together). I honestly wouldn't trade Quincey.

Heh, nice try. . If I didn't have a new roof being put on and a porch roof repair to pay for maybe.

Here's hoping Monster stands tall, the new D pairings continue to work out as well as last night, and KFQ continues to play as awesome as he did last night. Fear the Zetterbeard! I have a gig this afternoon (playing a dinner with my jazz combo) so I'll be late for the game, keep the posts going, as there is wifi where we'll be playing so I can check in. Happy Birthday! Hopefully the boys give you a win today. I'll toast you with my first dram of the Macallan during our first set break.

I was out with the wife last night, watching the dvr of the game now, and for all the grief I've given KFQ (deservedly so), the guy has veen improving from his fairly solid second half of last season and I thought he looked damn god based on what I've seen so far. Franzen had a hell of a game before he got hurt, and I had to laugh at the Franzen hate before he got his goals. I'll be one of the first to call him out when Mule switches to ass mode, but give the guy credit. I agree he's playing the best he has in ages (Oh wait, I don't have the option to attend live so I need to start a charity or something). Howard has also been playing well, shootout notwithstanding, but if you can't score it isn't just on the goalie. Here's hopng Monster stands tall today.

Seems to me like Rob Ford is sharing his stash with the Toronto media.

If Z looking like crap is a 4 point game, I'll take it!

Either that or he's hitting the JUCK F***ING POTT!

True. Maybe centcougar has a new handle and new team, lol.

That's a polite way to put it. I'd actually go as far as saying he is typically poor in shootouts. Still, he got 3 of 4 points against Boston. How many would have honestly expected that?

Why Nestrasil in the shootout? Nice move by Krejci, Goose shoots wide.

I'm fully aware. I'm a Howard supporter, but I'll also call him out when he plays poorly. (Which puts me in the minority of his supporters).

Edzo whining at no dive.

Smith tripped, draws the PP!

Howard with an average trapper stop on Gagne.

Bruins carrying the OT pressure.

Good D to break up the 3 on 1.

How is his "Average Saves Under Pressure In The Last Minute Percentage?"

Good thing Ericsson's butt didn't knock that save in. Howie deserves some props for getting the game to OT.

Cue the Van Halen, Howard has earned a little bit of Top Jimmy this game.

Howard with another average save and no rebound.

Good pressure by the kid line.

Agreed on both counts.
