I don't know, but they're about to beat Carolina. My man Parise got two goals.

Yea thats true, I don't like these afternoon games, they are just weird, for hockey anyway.

I agree. I don't like them it's a weekend game, and even then I'd rather a night game.

Anyway, the smallish crowd is making a good bit of noise.

Wasn't it against Johnny Oduya (30 years old, 382 games in the NHL)?

I guess it's hard to wait for the first pretty Toronto goal of the year.

Crosby meeting with doctors tomorrow, hopes to be cleared for contact. My facebook status is now "Cautiously erect".

He hasn't had any setbacks in awhile, right? Wonder if we could see him before the end of the month if all goes well.

He's been skating as hard as he can and playing in scrimmages since the start of training camp and hasn't had any symptoms. He went on the road with the team this past week and practiced with them as well. Unless something weird shows up on the scans, I think everyone expects him to be cleared for contact. If he's still holding up after that, then yeah I wouldn't be shocked if he's playing before November. Things are looking pretty good right now.

Varly was huge this game.

The one thing about Boudreau that really bothered me last season and especially in the playoffs is how much he ballwashed Neuvirth. I honestly have always seen Neuvirth as a middle of the pack goalie who lacks the potential to steal games.

With Varly it's always been about his health but I've been predicting a huge season for him all summer long.

Varly>Neuvy.

They're pretty loud on the radio stream.

Hopefully they'll re-air this on FSMW sometime tonight.

He was solid against us last game, except for the two bombs dropped by Franzen and then Z, which there was no way he was going to stop those shots.

Never saw the game or hilights but I heard that those two shots were absolute lasers.

I hope Varly does well for the Avs this season.

Question, I'm in Ontario and I have Center Ice, if a habs game is playing only on RDS will gamecenter show that or no because I can order it on rogers?

Yeah, it wasn't a super small crowd. But you could tell it was less than the norm.

Nice to get the win, and really nice to see Arnott putting the puck in the net!

Top two centres out with injuries?
Best player on our team rusty from injury?
Second game of the season, not a chance that our starting goalie is worn out?

LETS PLAY THE SHAKY BACKUP WHO GIVES UP REBOUNDS JUICIER THAN A JUG OF TROPICANA!

*sigh* flames

Definitely, glad to see him off to a good start. Just watched Stewart's goal, he's wicked with that backhand.

Apparently the Bruins are continuing the tradition of sleeping through the first period of matinee games. And of not giving Rask any scoring support. 35 saves for Rask and the goal was deflected off Chara's shin. Boo.

I was in the car when Stewart scored, just saw it too. And you're right, that backhand was excellent. The Johnson trade is looking better and better.

Love how after Thursday you were posting like you'd be neutered and now one win against a bottom feeder and you've magically grown back balls. You didn't see Leafs fans getting way too excited when we beat an average team for our first win.

What's the most consecutive losses a team has had to open a season to make the playoffs? Jackets are 0-2 and I don't see them beating the canucks tonight.

It's an 82 game season, losing a few at the beginning isn't going to ruin their playoff shot. Teams fall apart or come together halfway through the season all the time. You really don't have a good idea of who is going to be in the playoffs until the back half of the season, and even then crazy things happen.

We live in a world where a team can go 5-0 and still miss the playoffs. Don't worry, man.

This isn't exactly consecutive losses to open a season, but last year Buffalo went 3-7-2 in October.

I'll be in Toronto sometime after hell freezes over but before the Leafs win the Cup. We'll definitely get together then.
