    Kessel traded to Leafs

    I know, eh? Datsyuk and Zetterberg are so lame compared to Perry and Getzlaf because those two fight too!

    Kessel traded to Leafs

    That's from Elliotte Friedman of cbc.ca and Hockey Night in Canada.

    I guess... I just don't see much that's different about the top teams now and the top teams 3 years ago.

    No I honestly thought I read "everwhere". I don't buy the skilled tough teams thing as being the way of the future. Nothing's changed to make the hockey landscape any more conducive to tough teams.

    Islanders Pascal Morency suspended indefinitely

    It's not like Phaneuf's neanderthal face is tough to miss out there...

    Coetzee signs

    Smart move. Some were shocked he wasn't drafted, so this is essentially another one of the "bonus picks" Nill loves so much

    3/30 = 0.1=10% =/= "catching on everywhere" In the last decade only the Ducks have won anything with this formula while the skills first guys have won the other 90% of the time.

    Kessel's lockerroom diva bulls*** won't go over well in TO...

    [GDT] 9/18 - NY Rangers, 3 @ Red Wings, 4

    Nice glove by McCollum. Lebda and Meech are so effing weak on the puck... must be a size mismatch but come on guys-- if you can't be a big d-man you have to be smart. (see: Rafalski)

    Amazing pass by Leino and wicked tip by Abdelkader.

    Now that was a great save on the PP by McCollum

    No one with a braincell said Williams couldn't shoot or score. He's still amazingly soft and hasn't produced in the playoffs at any time in his career.

    It just ain't the same without seeing the goalie look back over his shoulder in surprise. On another note: my boy Leino gets the primary assist on that goal

    Right now Zaba is thinking "f***. my. life."

    I wouldn't say that so early in his pro career but yeah, he's real promising. As promising as Howard was coming out of college. Larsson is still my fave

    Man-- Filppula is playing with a real jump in his step. The real test will be whether he can continue doing that through an offensive dry spell.

    What a nice shot by Filppula. Keep shooting the puck Val!

    Get used to it. He's a Lang type of player who minimizes the energy he spends chasing the puck and just waits for opportunities to present themselves.

    Did they sell out in the preseason? What is the relative difference in ticket price? How many games do football teams play vs. hockey teams?

    Abdelkader does not look like a minor league player out there. He's got the skill and he's got the strength. Damn the cap and our rookie heavy roster for forcing him to wait another season in GR. Oh well, he'll be a better player for it.

    It's weird that in a city in the middle of a long, severe depression people can't afford to fill an arena for a preseason game that means nothing. I mean it's not like Detroit has been a waste land economically for the last 5 years. Oh wait.

    Wow-- how isn't that a diving call?

    I'm really looking forward to this game-- can't wait to see Leino and Filppula's line against another (preseason)Team. I'm bummed we won't see Tatar play tonight. I'm hoping he gets a shot in some preseason games... he's already earned himself a contract at his first camp and played so well it convinced the management he need to be in a tougher league, if he can keep playing like that in a preseason game Holland's job becomes that much tougher...
