Penalties In Minutes

Of course Hackett had a good debut; he only faced 17 shots. Primeau of course showed us all why he's a joke of a leader and captain. And you are right about Pitkanen. Give him a year to get accustomed to his surroundings, and you have a replacement for either Desjardins or Weinrich (34 and 36 respectively).

Wow. Nashville looked sharp tonight against Anaheim. And Ottawa was tuning up for Saturday's potential Stanley Cup Finals preview against Detroit, coasting to a 5-2 win.

Leiter was better than Boone. I barely heard anything out of Boone. Maybe I wasn't watching at the right times, but he should assert himself and throw McCarver out of the press box.

MWAHAHAHAAH I'm an American posting in the Canadian thread!!

I read that, laughed and shook my head. He's had better gems in the past, believe it or not.

Maybe those people don't understand how the Leafs plan to win without a solid defense.

Once they get about 15 games into the season, Gaborik will get what he wants.

I thought I was the only one screaming at the TV.

I would like to spit in Fred Phelps' face. Just walk up like I'm going to shake his hand, and just spit right in his eye.

You have a point there.

Heh. It was a joke.

I refuse to make bets until I see how everything settles into place. Usually around the 10th game of the year, I am comfortable. Except for Sens v. Habs tomorrow. We all know it's just a tune up.

I agree wholeheartedly

My thoughts exactly. It's kind of hard to get jazzed up about 3 games.

My biggest surprise: semi-competent announcing from FOX.

I would love to see either Millwood or Colon in Boston

Tripping over the couch while running to get the phone, and falling through the end table.

I love Mike Lowell in a strictly platonic way.

The Thrashers open against Columbus...so...no. But check out Anaheim v. Dallas or New Jersey v. Boston.

You don't get FOX up there?

Dazzling logic there...

*can't wait* I'm really looking forward to everything that's on tomorrow. Anaheim v. Dallas Minnesota v. Chicago New Jersey v. Boston PLUS!! Red Sox v. Yanks

Their seed doesn't matter. It's what they did in the playoffs. And they were the best team in the league in the second half of the season.

Plus, there is little to no pressure on Florida. Nobody expects them to be where they are now, everyone was waiting for Dusty/Cubs v. Barry/Giants. So Florida has that advantage.
