Sounds like some of you are taking that quote out of the context the reporter took it. But yeh, if not, hey Huselius, that's the idea, piss Dom off, you'll most definitely throw him off his game. What is he, retarded?

I love Nicklas, everyone seems to say he is NOT the Norris guy this year ... but no Hasek, and this team's standing is a whole lot different.

NO bertuzzi, check these lines: Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Calder-Lang-Samuelsson Cleary-Draper-Maltby Franzen-Filppula-Hudler Lidstrom-Markov Schneider-Lilja Lebda-Chelios Not bad! GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the Flames end of things, losing Robin with this knee is no doubt a big concern. How long can we expect him to sit? 4 Detroit wins maybe?

Calm. Down. Hank is due back Thursday as far as it stands today. If Bertuzzi takes a few games to get straight, so be it. There's a reason we got all these points this season -> depth. If it's Dom who's out then yeh, we might have good reason to start worrying. But if we can't put together a couple of strong outings without Bertuzzi, then what team were we watching this season? I think we've handle adversity pretty damn well so far this year.

The scheduling sucks. This isn't baseball - sunny days & open roof stadiums. Once the NHL playoffs start, there should never, ever, EVER!!!!!!!! be day games. It's a joke and i'm sick of the Wings getting shafted. Seems the only team they WON'T do it to is Toronto. Ask Bettman why.

Did I read that right? Samuelsson should play defense?

Points wise, yeh Minny & the Rangers would be called "upsets". But I pick 'em both to advance. Anaheim just looks ripe for a spanking, and booted the 1st round. The Blue shirts, if Jagr is interested, should beat the Thrashers. Plus I figure there's no way Shanahan lets that team stink it up 1st round.

This dude is serious hockey. ..... and he scores again. ... and he now has a natural hatrick. WOW!!

SJ in six. Talk about Nashville beating up on the Sharks is silly. Make no mistake the Sharks have goaltending, offense, special teams, and coaching to match up with Nashville really well. Go Sharks.

Hey, the Leafs go away. Their fans disappear, since they only follow their team and lose interest once they're ousted. And we don't have to see JP Ferguson's ugly mug on TV anymore. And this is a bad thing? OT is better, but boo-hoo, bye bye Leafies.

Everyone of you is forgetting one thing: Teddy Nolan comes back to Buffalo with the Islanders with many saying he is this year's Coach of the Year.

Ted Nolan should never have been fired from Buffalo. Then he got black listed. I hate the Isles. Their management is a joke, and likely the worst run in pro sports. The Leafs? Hate 'em even more. Their fans know little about hockey, outside of who's on their roster. If it ain't Leaf they ain't interested. I mean they haven't tasted victory in about 40 years now, with little hope for the future and all the while they think their team sits at the center of the hockey universe? Just because, a long time ago, any French speaking Canadian supported only the Habs, and all English speaking Canadians supported the only other team - the Leafs. A Red Wings jersey trumps all else. Go Isles.

Just a clarification, HNIC is Leafs TV #2. They will most definitely cheer for Canadian teams, but against a team like Detroit, the accolades go both ways. The bias is not there the way it is when the Leafs play. And the Leafs suck. So, it is kinda funny to see that bias when you watch any game, even Canadian team vs Canadian team. But CBC biased against US teams? About as much truth to that as the complaints all year about the refs deciding our games for us. Cmon. And the way we've stunk it up the last 3 years, what would you expect ANY channel to say about us? Calgary, because of the recent history is not to be looked at lightly, and I feel most sports guys figure that. GO WINGS!!

It ain't Game 1 of the season. Win and ya make it ....... riiiiiiiiiiigggggghhhhhhhhhhhtttttttt the Devils are gonna kill themseleves tryna win.

Game over. Leafs miss the playoffs tomorrow.

Icing. 20 seconds to go.

1 minute 15 left. Time out called. Cmon Habs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ditto.

Wow Montreal is weak bringing the puck over the blueline tonight.

Haha. Coccoccoco might be hurt, but not by Koivu. He fell like a chump.

Another screen. 6-5 Leafs.

Crap penalty. Koivu. 5-3 Leafs.

Screened shot. 5-5.
