Who cares? Skyrim comes out that day.

Even I can get behind this. We're on top of the division right now there is no rush. Hopefully Shero knows Sid should get out of the way of Skyrim or else his NPD numbers suffer.

11/15 versus the Avs would be better. Tuesday night game on Versus at home.

They've completely replaced the seating in the lower bowl of the Garden as well added open concourses. It's gonna take 2 more seasons to complete the renovation.

This is what it's supposed to look like when it's done:

Looks cool.. Though that is kinda distracting if you sit up in the upper bowl.


Also - wtf at $10-11 beer prices at multiple arenas.

American Airlines Center where the Stars/Mavs play offer like $6.50-$7.00 beers.

Rask will probably be in net for the B's tonight.

"It's just a matter of knowing what you do right or wrong," Pouliot told the media after the morning skate Thursday. "Not hiding it, let the guy know and he'll work on it."

This guy never misses an opportunity to rip Jaques Martin.

“You face your old team, you obviously want to prove that, 'You didn't want to keep me, I'll show you,'" Pouliot said. "It pumps you up even more."

Hat Trick confirmed.

Kyle Turris demands trade. Phoenix GM threatens to ruin his career if he doesn't.

I can't help but feel for the kid. It's got to be hard to develop well in a town where no one, not even the team ownership gives two shit about hockey.

Just move him, jesus. I know GM's don't want to buckle but if you can get some real assets for your team in exchange for someone who clearly doesn't want to be a part of your club long term, why wouldn't you?

Maloney being so stubborn is actually hurting his team, if this is to be believed:

"I know that the Coyotes' organization can benefit significantly by moving this asset," Overhardt said. "As a Group 2 free agent and speaking to several teams -- which I won't name -- I know that there's a number of clubs that have put forth significant offers to the Coyotes' organization which include valuable assets which would benefit Phoenix."

I can't understand why management in Phoenix has allowed this to continue as long as it has.

I remember in the days leading up to the draft they were saying Turris could even go #1 overall. I think the Hawks and Flyers are happy about their choice.

The lady and I will be dressing up for the Canucks/Caps game on Saturday since it's two days before Halloween. I'm considering going as Zombie Don Cherry with a puck in his forehead. Blood included. A friend of hers is a makeup artist so it shouldn't be a problem.

Do you guys think CBC would air it? Is he so sacred? I might just foregoe the zombie angle so I definitely get some TV time.... but don't really care.

Yes... This pic is from today and about a 10 minute walk from the leafs practice facility ;)

Awesome, I actually got to talk to Mats at my work after he was already moving his stuff back to Sweden from Vancouver. I was amused to find out that his cellphone at the time was still a Toronto number. :O

Hey Leafs fans whats the status of James Reimer? I got offered him in a trade and I am thinking of doing it but I am worried if he is going to be out/splitting time for a while.

Hey MPW, remember when you posted that scouting report on Cole after that one poor game he played?

Erik Cole's EVEN-STRENGTH risk/reward rating is the best I've ever seen; bar none. Expressed differently, Cole's rating shows that he made 4 successful plays for every 1 mistake or lost puck-battle.

From the same scout after last night's game. Two way street, beotch.

Reimer is day to day with whiplash symptoms.

Hopefully he can keep that play up, he was beasting last night, and would really give us the boost we're paying him for.

I'm going to chalk his first 5-6 games up to the adjustment period - his last 3-4 games he has looked downright great.

Go with the zombie Cherry but tone down the blood. Post a picture here so we know what to look for.

But secretly a concussion.

Some of the trades happening in the Real GAF league are just nuts.

I am responsible for a lot of those crazy trades. If I had just been able to be there for the draft I could have gotten 2 goalies, and not needed to nuke my roster for a 2nd goalie, but oh well. Next time hopefully I can be there.

Reimer was just officially put on IR with 'concussion-like symptoms.' Ouch.

Yeah! And JVR is the biggest bust in the history of the league. I know because I read it on HFboards.

Good news for the Pens, as that means he won't play Saturday. Bad news for whoever MULTIPLE SCORGASMS is in the real GAF fantasy league, as his two goalies are Reimer and Craig Anderson. :lol

Holy shit, I had no idea about that when trading him! I doubt he'll be out for long though, and I sincerely hope he's back soon, considering how integral he'll be to the Leafs' success this season.

[edit] Looking into it, I don't see anything saying he's been diagnosed with a concussion. It seems more like at this point, Leafs are just treating him as if there was (so sitting the game out, likely not practicing for a while). Supposedly, whiplash symptoms resemble some concussion symptoms.

Speaking of fantasy hockey, I picked of Markstrom after his crazy performance against the Habs and I'm hoping he steals the #1 job from Theodore so I'll have three legitimate starters.

Reimer was placed on the IR retroactive to last Saturday so he can conceivably still play this weekend. Last I heard, he was advised not to play tonight for purely precautionary reasons. He practiced for 90 minutes with no ill-effects (supposedly) yesterday.

EDIT: Burke mentioned on Prime Time Sports that he expects Reimer to play Saturday
