Let the Leafs enjoy their great season, maybe the rivalry will return because its been a joke for years.
At least we're letting our prospects play and develop in the NHL, this will pay off down the road.

Delicious.
The 67's beat the Rangers, so you're still not doing too badly.

Excited about the push for 9th place already I see.

How would I know I was watching the Leafs if we ended the season with a good draft pick or a playoff spot?
:lol

I don't wish injuries on anyone, but I remember Malkin's (undisciplined) hit on Mitchell that gave him a concussion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Imv7owJKLic

So excited about this game today. Let us continue our kings dominance plz
"@BobbyBKelly: Carlyle's just ruffling feathers here. Him, a week ago, on Ottawa's injuries: " we have our fair share, but they've got an abnormal amount""
:lol indeed.
Cant wait for some AHL ass wopping.

Ovechkin taking a massive shit on Hedberg. Yikes.
Take a look at last year, too. The top 4 teams were in the Atlantic Division (Boston admittedly tied for fourth). Southeast? Doing it for the lulz. 2 points better than the 7 seed, and a full 8 behind 6th.
If there's realignment to two divisions in each conference, whatever Atlantic Division teams wind up with the most Southeast squads are the clear winners.
The "top team in each division gets one of the first three playoff spots" rule is as fucking ludicrous as ever.
LOL Carolina.

He's juicing again.

As it is now I think the NBA came up with the best rule for this:
Still gives the division winner in the weakest division home ice but doesn't punish the second place team in the best division.

Versteeg said to be very close, was doing an intensive workout with coaches before practice. Finally some good news from him.
Still no word on Sunday's starter. I think Theo but I would prefer Markstrom.

5-0-1 since the beatdown.

I like this a lot, but I guess it won't really matter with realignment looming.
As it stands now, we've more or less fucked ourselves out of competition with Chicago for Central, so the best we can hope for is 4th regardless of how Vancouver and Anaheim do.
There's still 30+ games to be played. Nothing is set in stone. I mean there is the small chance Chicago doesn't make the playoffs. Injuries and team momentum can change everything.
Lets do this!!!

An interesting article on realignment possibilities:

I'll take the Solo route with a NOPE and be pleasantly surprised if I'm wrong. I really really don't see that happening though.

As a Canucks fan, and as a part of NHL-GAF, I HOPE they make the playoffs.
a) They're a good team, and playoffs should be for good teams
b) We didn't have a Chicago-Vancouver series last year, and it should become tradition, really
c) Chicago-Vancouver games are always (not the first one this season, sadly) crazy entertaining
d) ALL THAT SALT

I missed last nights game but I might watch it tomorrow. How awesome was it?
What line did Carcillo play on?
What line did Carcillo play on?
Foiled by an inept PK and inability to hold a lead in the third again. And the bad ice in Philly gets an assist for preventing a late tying goal. Still, 2 and 1 on the road trip to start is better than I would have expected.
And shit you know a game is early, or you're getting old, when you sleep in a bit and miss two periods.

I hope you bless us with the same type of boxstretching tonight.
Oh wow, just saw that. from 3-1 to 3-4 with 3 PPG's, ouch.

Well that game took an unexpected turn...
Your punishment for having the most soff schedule in the entire NHL for the first third of the season.
Tip. Philly has already played 20 games.

No one wants to win the Southeast.
And yet Boston has 3 more points in 6 less GP....
A Buffalo loss and a BJs win would put us in position for the #1 pick. And I would only have to watch 30 more games of this team being awful for MacKinnon. Hmm..
In other news, I think Ville Leino basically called out Pominville for being a soft captain today:
"Its pro hockey and weve got to demand more out of coaches, players and out of everybody. One of the things here Ive noticed just being here over a year is weve got to have higher demands, higher priorities on the games and working better, keeping each other accountable here.
"Its not always a happy family. Youve got to have some controversy, some guys pushing each other. Its not all smiles and happy and be nice because nice guys usually finish last."
