Man... this is going to be a LONG season.

Funny. Our seats are right next to press row and they laughed out loud when our section (328) cheered like crazy when we got just the one point at the end of regulation.

Relax, Joe. We are now only 11 points out of the playoff picture. We can just as easily run the table this week and be right back in it.

Good win for the Hawks.

My words exactly

Yup I wasn't referring to the Hawks....begrudgingly I think they will push deep again.

That statement caused me to become strangely aroused, Shawn.

Dang, Ryan Smyth out for up to a month. What a blow to the Kings. He is so integral to that top line. This will be a real test and if they can learn to win without him they will be better for it.

Toms thinking about the scene from training day where he asks about getting it pushed in. Man I hate that movie.


It appears the oilers captain moreau is okay after taking a shot to the head last night. He took the day off today after the hit to the head last night where he didnt return to the game afterwards.

Heard about Smyth. Big loss for the team. They were talking about how his play was earning him a spot on team canada. Hopefully he doesnt loose that spot now.

I like Ethan, glad he is OK.

Hawks up 6-1 end of the 2nd

[Ahbroody]

WOooooooooo
Anyone watch the Ducks post game. Neids was the first star and went to hand a little girl the stick. Some clown took the stick and the fans went Tie Domi on the dude. Neids even made a comment that the little girl needs to get the stick.

Wow just wow

credit to the Hawks but I am pretty sure anyone could havebeat the Flames tonight.

Quite possibily the worst game I have seenthem play in the 12 years I have been a fan.

I dunno if this Sutter thing is working, i know his pedigree and his credentials as a coach are beyond reproach but something is broken on that team of mine

[Ahbroody]

Shawn one game does not make a season.
I know it was a rough one, but the flames are currently 8th overall out of 30 teams. I am a little concearned that this came on the heals of an alleged blowout between the coach and Phaneuf. I would say give it a little while.

[icehog3]

Flames are off to a great start...every team has a stinker now and then, Shawn.

[Partagaspete]

Wat is going on out at the Lighthouse? Isles are 6-2-2 in thier last ten and in thier last five the dropped 2 in the typical OT way. Again, I wonder what team has the record for OT games played by a team in a season. Tonight I hope the Isles/Wild game is on TV. I need Center Ice.

Thrashers battle back from two down after the first period to lose to the B's in a shoot out. The playstyle of Boston seemed frustrating for the Thrashers who like to control the puck all the way into the offensive zone instead of just dumping it in. Once they started dumping it, the game turned around enough for them to tie it up.

It seemed to me last night that Kovalchuk was trying to pass the puck one two many times when he should have just taken the shot. I found myself asking why he didn't just shoot instead of having it knocked away on the pass attempt.

My concern is there is way more than one stinker in there.

The game against the Leafs was a horrible display except for the goaltending of Kiprasoff other than a few lucky goals the Leafs manhandled the Flames for most of the Game.

They have laid down and played dead against the Hawks twice this year.

They let Colorodo dictate the pace of the game the other night and therefore did not play within their system or style, allowing Colorado to stand in front of Kipper and essentially have their way with him.

Up 5 nothing against the Canucks and let them storm back with 3 more goals (4 if you count the one that was waved off by an early whistle)

Watching the game last night, Sutter was furious and clearly unhappy yet none of the players even reacted, in fact they seemed to become even more lethargic.

Dunno when you add those things up I don't like what I see. There is more season to come but I am concerned, lets put it this way I am very thankful for the great start and that Kipper is having a stellar start, this could get very ugly fast.

Just my thoughts.

[icehog3]

I think the Flames are a very good team, Shawn, but I will say this....Iginla needs to think about what is happening on the ice rather than smacktalking to the opposing players and bench. He is the leader on that team, and young guys will follow his example. Actions speak louder than words. I think Iginla is an elite player, but he needs to stop losing focus when things go wrong. JMHO.

Good game last night Shawn but the Bruins seemed to get a sense of direction with Lucic back and it appeared to carry through to the shoot out. Tough game to lose but the Bruins have had a great deal of doing just that.

[Ahbroody]

Woot what a game!
Heaters second hatrick of the season. Thorton passes 600 career points. I really like the way this season is going. That short handed goal between Thorton and Heatley was friggin wicked.

Great game for the nucks tonite! Down 2-0 at the end of the first, and 2-1 at the end of the 2nd. Then came 4 more goals for a 5-2 will !!! woooohoo!!!!
