Glad to see a complete and utter lack of scoring. That's always great.

I can't wait to watch Toronto skate us into the dirt.

When did this guy become such a miserable failure in net?

I try to keep to the team's website when buying tickets. Haven't had a problem, yet.

Tell him he's playing for the starting job in the Winter Classic.

This goddamn guy just can't make a stop to save his life right now. I'll be bald by the end of this season.

Am I the only one who almost threw up when they saw that Alfie would sit tonight?

Trading Howard would be foolish. You want to ride Gustavsson, who has been bad far more often in his career than he has been good (as happy as I am with his play this year), and Mrazek, a kid who can barely find his ass with both hands and a map when it comes to NHL hockey? Whoever actually wants that...good luck to you.

Mental issues that a team like this shouldn't have. Plenty of veterans and a tough, hockey-savvy coach. Doesn't make sense to me. I just can't buy into the thinking that Cleary and Quincey cancel all of that out and turn us into an absolute s***show.

Babs doesn't have much of a problem with Cleary, either. Sarcasm was not unrecognized, however.

Not really fair to judge a team early in the season. That's when the flashes in the pan are still flashing and the teams that are just going through early-season issues or growing pains are still doing such. Keep in mind we didn't have Helm for much of that time. His value to the team is obvious.

In his defense, the overall point of his post is that we don't know whether or not Weiss played with this injury this whole season.

Well, at least we've established that he does suck. I guess it's all just a matter of degree.

I can't see those teams lasting. The East doesn't have many consistently good teams. Boston and Pittsburgh, you know what you're getting. Beyond that, very uncertain. And, unfortunately, we fall into that pack. Only difference being that we have a ton of injuries. We have to get healthy at some point, and at full strength, we're more talented and experienced than those teams you mentioned. In the NHL, the cream usually rises to the top. Flashes in the pan are just that, flashes in the pan. Hot streaks end. And so do cold streaks.

It's not enough to just say that they blow donkey dick and don't belong in this league?
