nl5xsk1 Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Craig Janney sits and cries somewhere. Rumours on the Hotstove last nite were either of the Sutters and Espo, but all were considered long shots. I'd be happy with a Sutter, but not Espo. The guy's almost as senile as Sinden. Lets do what Chicago doing for coaching, hire half-decent players for coaching jobs. Thus, Boston new coach will be Don Sweeney. Sweeney at his best wasn't half-decent. Skills-wise, he's just a smaller Hal Gill in my eyes.
the max Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Bruins lose to Florida in a shootout, getting goals from Bergeron and Boyes and solid, spectacular at times goaltending from Thomas. I think we've been watching the same game for the last two and a half weeks. No other lines can create any kind of offense or defense. Sturm-Bergeron-Boyes has been carrying this team for the last almost three weeks, all of the other lines are out there because SBB needs a breather.
CanadianGuitarist Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 The Rangers come back big time in the Battle of Struggling New York teams...somehow that didn't make the marquee. 4-2 going into the thrid, they win in a shootout. This was a probable first round matchup. HUGE game gets underway between Vancouver and L.A. momentairly.
mike546 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 I know they wanted Jagr to break the Rangers scoring record, but that 5 on 3 in the 3rd period was a bit ridiculous.
bob_barron Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Canucks are leading 6-3 with 17 min left in the third. The Brothers Line, the Big Line and Alex Burrows? have all contributed tonight
Guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Yeah, shit ass goaltender of ours. Ah well, the Nucks were bound to get hot.
bob_barron Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Avs face the Ducks, Oilers face the Wild and Sharks face the Blue Jackets tonight. Sharks and Oilers should win, so the Canucks are far from out of the woods.
nl5xsk1 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 No other lines can create any kind of offense or defense. Sturm-Bergeron-Boyes has been carrying this team for the last almost three weeks, all of the other lines are out there because SBB needs a breather. I fully agree that the top line has been head-and-shoulders better than any other line on the team ... strike that, head-and-shoulders better than all three other lines combined. I do, however, think that in the half-a-dozen games that Isbister's been back, him & Murray have been playing well as 2/3 of a second line. If they had a center that was even halfway decent, they'd be a good 2nd line. Instead, they have Reasoner struggling to keep up with them. If the B's can add a legit #2 center they could have a good second line to play behind the Sturm/Bergeron/Boyes line next year (and the first person to suggest Zhamnov, even as a joke, gets an e-punch).
Red Baron Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Zhamnov. Habs should get the easy win here tonight against the Isles after that mediocore victory against Pittsburgh sunday night.
Red Baron Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Whatever happened to Doug Weight. He seems to be non-existant out there with Carolina.
CanadianGuitarist Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Zhamnov. Habs should get the easy win here tonight against the Isles after that mediocore victory against Pittsburgh sunday night. For the first time since about a week before the Olympics, I'm not even considering taking the Habs on either of my two pro-line tickets tonight. They lost 3-1 a week ago. The Leafs can at least try to maintain hope tonight, as the struggling Devils are in Ottawa, with Volenchkov and Redden both coming back it appears. This is absolutely fascinating hockey in the west right now. I'd like any of you to tell me you don't think San Jose will get in at this point. And how bout the freakin Ducks on a roll? They cost me 100 dollars on two separate pro-lines last week, thanks to the OT win over Colorado Wednesday and the drubbing of Nashville Friday. Tonight's rematch against the Avs could be a first round match-up, but even Colorado's still not a lock. This is gonna be great.
CanadianChris Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Volchenkov isn't coming back tonight, and Redden was never missing to start with.
CanadianGuitarist Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Volchenkov isn't coming back tonight, and Redden was never missing to start with. On the ticker on The Score: Senators Anton Volchenkov and Wade Redden probable.
CanadianChris Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 Volchenkov isn't coming back tonight, and Redden was never missing to start with. On the ticker on The Score: Senators Anton Volchenkov and Wade Redden probable. Volchenkov isn't playing. They said it this morning in the paper, and they said it again on the pre-game show. And Redden hasn't missed a game since the Olympic break. He may have suffered a minor injury recently, but he hasn't missed any time. EDIT: And now Phillips is out. They're saying it's a hyperextended knee. And Meszaros just got hurt, although it looks like it's not serious. FUCKFUCKFUCK.
bob_barron Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 San Jose loses to Columbus 4-1, blowing an easy chance to get into the playoffs. Anaheim-Colorado and Minnesota-Edmonton are both tied.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 Where the hell is Hasek? Is he done for the season? I heard he was day to day but there hasn't been any news on his condition.
Guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 There's a gaping opportunity for the Kings considering they play Edmonton and Calgary in the back to back on Wednesday and Thursday. Any team would LOVE the opportunity to make up 4 points. The Edmonton game concerns me much more than the Calgary game, because Calgary can't pepper the net, which prevents the Kings from getting in big trouble. Anaheim and Nashville are the only teams 3-8 that are solid locks. And Hasek's waiting to come back until right before the playoffs. Smart move.
CanadianChris Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 Where the hell is Hasek? Is he done for the season? I heard he was day to day but there hasn't been any news on his condition. He said yesterday that he may start practicing in pads this week. I figure probably two more weeks.
CanadianChris Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 How is it that two 40-goal scorers can never score in a shootout? I can't remember seeing Heatley or Alfredsson score a shootout goal since Thanksgiving (that's CANADIAN Thanksgiving, in October). Thank FSM there aren't any shootouts in the playoffs, or the Sens would be royally fucked.
Guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 Even though the Kings have lost one shootout, I still hate them. I'd rather they went 4-4 for half the overtime period, then 3-3 for the other half, then if both teams were tied, then go to the shootout. It's better than a tie.
CanadianGuitarist Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 I doubt there's a personon this board who wouldnt take more 4-on-4 as opposed to a shoot out. The Leafs try to keep up with a win...it's of course trumped, again, this time by the Habs and Devils win. There's no a 3 way tie for 6-7-8. Pick it up Habs, I don't want to see Carolina or Ottawa first round. Although that would be some great hockey.
bob_barron Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 Good night for the Canucks, as Edmonton and San Jose both lose. A win tonight puts them in 6th place
Red Baron Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 I really do think that if Montreal is playing against Ottawa in the playoffs they can take Ottawa to seven games. Against Carolina, well theres four quick games for the Hurricanes.
CanadianChris Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 Dammit. At least he should be back for the playoffs. Chara and Volchenkov better both be back for the Rangers game, or there's going to be trouble.
CanadianGuitarist Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 I really do think that if Montreal is playing against Ottawa in the playoffs they can take Ottawa to seven games. Against Carolina, well theres four quick games for the Hurricanes. Maybe I'll renege on the Ottawa thing from earlier..Montreal is 20-7-5 againt divisional opponents this year, and they did lose four of those to the Leafs.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 calgary's been really stinking up the joint lately. Hopefully we can kick LA's ass and get back on track. I'm going to be at the game tonight, 12th row baby!
mike546 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 OH SNAP! Orr just FUCKING nailed Godard with a right hand!
