Time to leave
Connolly has 10 goals and 0 assists in his last 50 games.
How does that even happen?

MONY!! Fuck yeah!
Fuck the Leafs right now!
I just got back from my 7th session of hockey school. Learned how to shoot and at the end we actually played hockey against the other team we do hockey school with.
We did wholesale line changes every 2 minutes.
It was more shinny then actual hockey as there were no penalties or offsides (unless super egregious) but oh man was it fun.
It was my first time EVER playing actual hockey on the ice and man oh man was it a thrill. I got 3 shifts out there. Played defense twice and left wing once. I didn't get to do much and I only touched the puck twice in those 3 shifts but my heart was racing.
I was able to dump the puck out of our zone when we were in trouble, I saw a drop pass coming in the offensive zone but my body couldn't react as fast as my brain so it resulted in a 2 on 1 the other way. And I almost had a clean breakaway, my defense partner stole the puck in our zone and for some reason absolutely nobody was on my side so I called for the puck and skated out of the zone. My partner missed me by a mile but I was wide open. The goalie came out to play the puck since I was catching up to it and because of my hustle he fanned on trying to shoot it out of the zone and it resulted in my team scoring on an empty net since he then fell over trying to recover.
I'm gonna sleep well tonight.

WHAT A WIN! WIDEMAN!!!!!!!
We need 3v3 OT after that taste we got tonight
For those who did not watch, got the GWG but it looked like a cross bar and they played on until the Kings iced it, then it was reviewed and it was actually a goal, I was fooled because it looked like a damned post. So good.

At this point I just want the Kings to go 0 - 0 - 82 every year
I didnt watch, only listened on the kings radio broadcast and even the announcers said it was a post until the officials called it a goal.

Sharks managed to lose ground to Vancouver, Calgary, AND the Kings. And two of them were playing each other. :-/
He has a no-trade clause, and has stated he doesn't intend to waive it.
He wants to stay in Carolina.

This sounds so cool
The only hockey I've played is ball hockey as a goalie, always loved the position. And again it was shinny style, no offsides or penalties. Making the jump to the ice seems daunting though D: this is one of those adult hockey schools?Just watching the highlights and :lol at Eric Staal! What a little bitch. Love it.

Kavey, I'm loving hearing about your hockey school progress.
Making me so anxious for when mine starts again next week.

This has been another addition of cat hockey brought to you by Kave!!!
Seriously tough, good for you, glad you are still enjoying it. On that note I am borrowing a buddies GoPro for this friday and am going to mount it to my helmet when I play so I might finally have some cool footage to show. So be prepared for that.

Carlyle was a god among men
Polak and Kadri being the only goal scorers. Even with a new system this kind of goal-less drought shouldn't be possible with Kessel in the lineup. He's not pulling his own weight.
Briebois said on TV yesterday that Bergevin tried to trade for O'Rielly 2 years ago. He's still our development coach and it's really surprising he's saying that seeing how tight Bergevin has been with his group. Wonder if he's still interested.

It's like watching a train wreck...and the train is full of people who have just profoundly let you down.

And the train wreck lets you down because it can't even wreck all the way.
I kind of do hope we trade and tank at this point. I do like at Chuck has done but this group is really demoralized right now.

On the bright side think of what the Clarkson contract does to get us to the cap floor :/
Funny breakdown of how Couturier went -5 yesterday.

That made me laugh in a morbid way, just the thought of a tragedy unfolding but it's all just people who disappointed you really.

Losing in a different way makes it hurt more

It's not as simple as that. You're a fan of the team, you want them to do well. My expectations weren't very high but
I'm so used to dispassionately watching the playoffs I'm not even upset any more.

Toronto is probably the most consistent inconsistent team around.
Had that long stretch where they kinda sucked.
Then had a long stretch of turning it on and playing really well.
And now have a long stretch of sucking again.

Kave, keep the updates coming, they're great fun, glad you're having a blast. Certainly gets me nostalgic for my hockey play days while growing up.
It's always been that bit of schadenfreude. Sure I would actually like for the Leafs to turn it around, and eventually be a contender, but it's not like they're in a hard market, they can be terrible for eternity and the fans will come in droves, so it is wonderful fun to see them be so terrible too.
Sorry Leafs fans =( You are a good bunch and do deserve better!

If you mean in the way a loss is a loss by less goals then yeah, that's true. I'm not sure what else you mean, my Junior brain doesn't comprehend.
I see it as this group is finally playing more defensive hockey, which is what everyone wanted, but scoring has fallen apart. Theoretically and statistically more sustainable, but not enough offensive chances
