Is that Gustavsson's shutout penis? :O
The team is just bad, whether under Carlyle or Wilson. Both Wilson and the players were shitty at their jobs. This year is about wrapped up. Carlyle just has to properly assess all of his players' skills and weaknesses to prepare himself for next year. And Burke has TONS of work to do.
Under Carlyle, I see a coach trying to instill a culture of defense and grit. You're not going to see positive results right away (aka wins) with a team as poorly built as this. This mess is on Burke's shoulders IMO.

This is fucking unbelievable. The hawks are playing the Kings so i should be able to see the game on FS WEST, but cant for some reason. Probably because its on NBCSN so i try and switch to that channel but for some reason its not working today. WHAT the fuck is this!
Anyone else in cali with Charter who is sharing my problem?

I'm on Charter in WA and same deal. It's been going on for over a week, but I'm too lazy to call. All of the other channels (that I never watch) work fine. What are the odds...

Oh thats so lame.
Here are some comparisons to show you guys how you are blowing this Tim Thomas thing out of proportion.
Tim Thomas' record Feb. 1 - Mar. 11, 2010: 5-5-2
Tim Thomas' record Feb. 1 - Mar. 11, 2011: 8-9-0
Tim Thomas' Save % Feb. 1 - Mar. 11, 2010: .915
Tim Thomas' Save % Feb. 1 - Mar. 11, 2011: .898*
*Take away the two games on the back end of double headers he was forced to play in because of Rask's injury and his save % is .914.
And if thats not enough here's our beloved vatstep cashing in his chips last year at this time.
and again this year.
Enjoy this time Cake Boss, but ask yourself if you really want to face the Bruins in the first round. Especially if they can get healthy. At this time last year there were Vancouver fan(s?) here saying Thomas was an overrated system goalie and that Luongo deserved the Vezina.

But is the game even supposed to be on NBCSN? Now i cant even find it listed on their webpage but on NHL.com it is listed on nbcsn, otherwise its really strange that its not on FS West
Yeah its on NBCSN. That's why its not on FS West.

Sigh...why did Burke not do anything during the trade deadline...
:'(
:'(
He said 3-4 first round picks could not help the team right now so he kept guys like Kulemin and MacArthur instead to show them support and hope they went to the playoffs.

Bollig is alright in my book. I feel like he's gotten in a fight every game so far.

Seven points back now. That about wraps it up for Tampa. All that's left is to see if Stamkos hits 60 goals.
I never said anything about Thomas, Bruins are the last team I want Ottawa to face in the 1st round but its looking like it is everyday. Thomas has owned us ever since his existence with the Bruins, even where we were at the top of the conference.

The shopping list was too long and any player would have been massively over-priced. I'm not at all surprised the team has lost close games to Boston, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Washington - if you'd shown me the schedule at the start of the season I would have pencilled these games as losses anyway. The real question is why, when the sink was taking hold in December and Carlyle had been replaced by Boudreau, Burke didn't axe Wilson then.
Burke's moves in the off-season will have to be something special if he wants to save his career in Toronto, and as a respected GM across the league. A competent centre, a goalie, and another goal scorer.

Amazing, yawning and stretching because the most important game of the season can't keep you awake.
Burke has really fucked up.
I'd Laich it if I didn't have to read posts like this one anymore.
Puns are the new Pens photoshops?

Holy shit. Emerson Etem has now scored 60g this season.
He's the first WHL player to reach 60 goals since 2000.

The only right answer: Laich a boss.
If there's anything GAF could use fewer of, its puns.
Pretty sure NHL.com already had that. But it really IS the only good pun.

Haha, yeah people who contribute to the puns in here should totally be PUNish- *head spins rapidly and falls off*
