This is something nobody would be able to legitimately argue if it were to occur, but I'd say the chances are about .05% or less, and I have no problem with him waiting. I think that club doesn't admit a new member for a long, long time.

VAN/BOS: 4-2

VAN/SJS: 4-1 BOS/TBL: 4-2

I can sort of sympathize. I'm not a million miles from home defending the country (thank you, btw), but I'm in my kitchen, and there's a toddler watching cartoons guarding the only television. I'd just watch on the computer, but noooo, no it's been difficult to find streams cuz it's on NBC. *edit* thanks for the stream links everybody

VAN/NSH: 4-2 SJS/DET: 4-1 WAS/TBL: 4-2 PHI/BOS: 4-3 Originally picked Philly to win the east...then it took them 7 to get past Buffalo. I know I can't change that pick, but I don't see them getting past Boston now.

Ryan Miller is signed through 2015.

Pretty sure that's why he ended up here, if I recall correctly Leafs fans were practically running him out of town.

And he'll do it from inside the penalty box, too.

Raf is gonna score a hatty to tie it up, just you wait and see.

Alright Jimmy, GTFO, See you next game. Goal 3 wasn't your fault, but it's time to have a seat.

That ****** has Jimmah's number, it seems. Or at least does well against the Wings.

Congratulations on goal #1 , plenty of time to try for an assist and see if anybody's in the mood to dance.

The long summer and injury layoff really seems to have rejuvenated Draper. Gramps got hustle.

Anybody who thinks they hate beer should try one in Canada. I only went to Windsor once, but holy hell did I toss em back fast. It was easy, because it was tasty. Walking down the street after I did that...not so easy.

They're all better than Emerick, Olczyk, and McGuire. Which isn't saying a whole lot, I guess.

If it was in PM's, you'd be right. But it wasn't, and you're not.

Plenty of people on earth are not very good at playing hockey, but you aren't even good at watching it. Traffic in front, shots from the blueline, hockey 101. Ask Mike Babcock if he wants the D to hesitate, even when you're up 3-0. You'll get the death stare.

I'm boycotting because of that terrible, overstriped cartooney jersey. I can't look at that shirt without thinking "s***tsburgh". If you're gonna tell your "Masters" anything, include that. Rosby doesn't control that, nor does he control how much the league tries to market him into the next Gretzky when in reality he'll never be anywhere near that dominant over his peers. He controls how he acts on the ice, which is supposedly less bitchish this year, but he's got a ways to go there. I don't control anything other than my TV, but I, like many hockey fans, am tired of Sid, so if the league would simmer down a bit on over-hyping him, it would please a lot of fans of 29 other teams. As for DET/PIT winter classic...no thank you. I don't even want to see Detroit in it again until a few more teams have had a chance, and I certainly hope the Pens are done for a decade or more. If only a handful of teams are going to get a shot, I'd rather they did away with the classic altogether. As for the ones you mentioned, the Avs rivalry is dead and I don't think Ottawa is a great fit, but either of the other two would be freakin sweet, original 6 matchups are more classic than anything else this league has. If it were MON/NYR next year, I think you'd see bigger ratings than this year.

That's exactly what I thought too, I recall Meech playing as a forward, Lebda not so much. Or at all. Granted the team was beat to hell last year with all the injuries, so Babs had to get a little creative at times.

Every time we sign a washed up Michigan born player who also happens to be a former captain of the Stars, they end up with a multi-month injury. All both of them. Boo.

Love to see this become the beginning of the unraveling and demise of the douchebaggery at the NHL's executive level. But I'll wear a rubber glove on my other hand and get what's guaranteed.

After my first game at the joe my father and I saw him outside, called over "hey orange hat guy!" and he laughed and said hello. One of those big, genuine smiles you don't see every day, it's one of my clearer memories of that night. He'll be missed by many people.

Uh...no. No, we're not. Although now when we play Toronto, we may thank him at the end of the night for doing more to help our team than ever before.

Classic Lebduh. Are they already howling for him to be traded in TO?
