Price going for his 100th win.
Doesn't look good for the Pens. We are great at letting opposing players hit milestones against us.
Hope Geno and Orpik are ready to go. :/

The Price milestone pretty much doomed us. We just love to helping other teams hit records.

But good news! Orpik will finally be back tonight! Thank fucking god.

Bad news: Kennedy officially diagnosed with a concussion. I have no idea how he got it. Geno skated this morning but won't play tonight and is still day-to-day.

The bigger question is who would offer you two starting goalies for Kessel?

Backstrom is a center.

Haha, this is on rotowire's Kessel profile right now:

He can't maintain this pace. You may be able to leverage him in a deal for a whole lot more, particularly from a Leafs fan. Go check.

To make room for Kadri, the Leafs have further sprained Armstrong's ankle, making him eligible for IR.

You know you've got [/depth] when you're injuring your vets to bring up rookies.

I am so pissed I traded Kessel before the season started. I should have waited and gotten a ton back. It sucks that no one will make trades in the real gaf league. We have so many teams that the wavier wire is totally barren, and injuries have killed my team. Oh well at least it wasnt for money.

Geno's leg issue is becoming more and more worrisome. Hopefully the soreness won't linger throughout the rest of his career.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I propose that when Columbus finally moves that they move to Detroit. I miss having an NHL team :(

Wait, we still have one?

I'd love to see more trades (and am more than willing to move players if someone makes me a fair offer). Send an offer my way (Alpacas for Hart), if you're interested in anything.

Obviously Kessel can't maintain this pace (i.e. he won't score 160+ points this season), but do you guys think he could end up as a Hart Trophy winner/finalist? What do you think his ceiling is?

Probably a hundred, hundred and thirty points. At least until the Leafs do the same thing they do every year: crash and burn after a promising start to the season.

5 games in. It has been written. What has happened before, shall happen again. All hail Cherry!

Max? 40 goals, 30 assists. I don't think he'll score more than 70 pts with this Leafs team.

It is so hard to come up with a fair proposal. I have been looking over your team. I think I will make a post about trading H. Sedin and see if anyone offers me anything. I really need another goalie. I am going to come up way short of the games played and there are no starting goalies left on waivers.

what are you thinking master penis? how have the caps looked so far?
Click to expand...
Caps have been so weird dude. 4-0 after to start the season but not even playing well enough to earn that record. However, last game against the Panthers was their most complete game in ages. The third line of Chimera, Laich, and Ward has been their best line, can cycle well down low and has the potential to be a shutdown line.

The first two lines have been ok.

Depends which Caps team decides to show up.

come in my shame circle
Phil Kessel?

If everything goes right I could see him around 45-48 goals and close to 40 assists.

But most likely 35-37 goals, 30 assists.

I predict a Flyers win tonight, but it's going to be a good game no matter what.

I also heard tonight will be Hal Gill's 1000th game, which is fitting. That's a milestone I don't mind being set tonight.

This sort of thing is typical considering his surgery. It's not going to be fully healed for a few more months, although I expect him to play. I actually think he'll be back in the lineup within the next week, his knee will just be something that flares up every now and then for awhile.

Modano said on Twitter "please ask for a trade Nash!" which is true, but funny and kind of surprising he would say that. Also no predictions for tonights game, this team has been so jekyll and hyde lately, if we get the same team that played buffalo we should win easy, if we don't then who knows.

Thought it was interesting before the Leafs game they showed the same stick that Kessel uses and the flex on it was insane.

I love Kessel (even have his jersey), but he'll likely get between 60-80 points. He can only do so much with the linemates he has. He didn't have a decent finisher to pass to for much of last season and this made it easy for teams to focus merely on him. While I don't think Connelly is the answer, I really hope I'm wrong and Kessel gets 90 points with him.

I'm surprised Kessel has been able to fit in his Cinderella dress in the last couple weeks. It doesn't matter anymore though, as he's going to get undressed tonight- along with Reimer and the rest of the Laughs.

A shitty stream. I can PM you a link once game time rolls around.

No online stream for tonights game on TSN. :( Really enjoyed the stream last night, it's way better than the CBC stream, in both quality and number of Don Cherry's viewed.

Kinda hard for that to happen since Gustavsson is starting tonight.

Except Kadri's just not very good.

Socreges, why be so persnickety? It takes a very hostile reading of his post to draw that kind of impression from it.

I have to admit that there is a small part of me that wants to see the Leafs go 5-0 again to start the season for the "Leafs will make playoffs!"/"Kessel for HART!" lulz.
