That was mesmorising.

[Parker 1st MRB]

Taylor Hall just got two...

[Pandalsson 1st MRB]

Hey Parker, guess who just got a bunch of vouchers for free chicken wings at Cage Aux Sports? Oh YEAH! Thanks Toronto for pulling your goalie at 2:30 mark! I'll make sure to enjoy those free wings!

[Arsenault 1st MRB]

Yep Panda. What a greeeeeat game yesterday! It really was awesome! Wasn't it Parker? *cough* Fuck Grabovski and Phaneuf *cough*

I got my vouchers for free wings too!

Don't tell me that you cheer for the leafs too!

[Parker 1st MRB]

Leafs > Habs. Arsenault you watch as much hockey as Johnson does in Africa so I really pay no attention to any comments you make on the sport. Moving on.

Sooo the Flames put in an offer sheet for Ryan O'Reilly for 2 yrs/10 mil. The Avs matched it and signed the kid for too much money. Here's the interesting part the Avs did the Flames a favor, the Flames could have paid a higher price than draft picks if the Avs didn't match the offer for O'Reilly. Due to the fact that O'Reilly, who was unsigned until Thursday night, played for Metallurg Magnitogorsk in the KHL on Jan. 21 and Jan. 23 after the start of the NHL season on Jan. 19, O'Reilly would have had to clear waivers to join the Flames! That would have meant anyone ahead of Colorado on the waiver priority list would have been able to take O'Reilly for free!

Hehe, you read that Puck Daddy article as well I see. But you meant the Flames, not Colorado, for the waiver priority right?

WHEN, not if, Cgy would have lost that RO to a waiver AND all those draft picks... HAHAHA that would have been a glorious

(and some GM would probably have lost their job on the spot for that that gaff)

[Coogan 1st MRB]

In honor of the Vancouver millionaires, the canucks will be wearing the millionaires uniform soo sick

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

Ha ha i get it b/c there is no ice in africa

[Parker 1st MRB]

1:43 That is the voice of Andy Brickley the Bruins color commentator!

[Gooderham 1st MRB]

I know as a Canucks fan my team is accused of diving a lot, but honestly, that video was amazing.

[Pandalsson 1st MRB]

You gotta figure something's going on in Edmonton. 3 consecutive 1st overall picks (plus a bonafide stud 1st rounder), a potential top 5 D signing during the offseason and they're still out of playoff contention.

Is it the coaching?

Is it Sit-On-My-Thumballini?

Is it the 3 1st overall picks + 1st round stud (eberle)?

Is it the lack of depth from plethora of overpaid veterans?

Is it the goaltending?

Is it the porous defense?

Also, this might be the year that all 3 canadian teams in the East make the playoffs since 2003-2004. Parker, I stand corrected, I do think that TO has a more than fair chance to make it to the show this year. And if it wasn't for the ridiculous situation in ottawa (I don't think that I've seen a team lose their top 3 players to long-term injuries they the sens have this year) the sens could have been in 1st place in the entire conference.

The toughest div in all of hockey this year (if it weren't for div leader asterix, the NE would have 4 teams in the top 5 of the eastern conference!). DAYYYUM!

[Murbley]

I myself laughed at the Embellishment City, but still. There are far more teams who do WAY more diving than the B's.

Its because they have a roster full of stars that are used to doing everything themselves. Their entire 1st line is shoot first shoot second maybe pass third.

[Watkis]

Don't look now but the Columbus Blue Jackets are on a 4 game winning streak

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

Try getting at least 3 in a row after going 0-4 to start the season.

[Parker 1st MRB]

Leafs lost against the Pens BUT it was in a shootout. We'll take the point and move on thank you very much.

[Parker 1st MRB]

Realignment has been approved by the board of governors and the players. It will take effect next season.

[Stroops]

So how bout them Caps

[Mamora BAR]

Caps beat calgary...big woop. Theyve been sucking lately and killing my fantasy team. I'm not sure if they can handle boston or if boston has the energy from being kicked around by the pens to face washington. Its dead even to me.

As for the realignment i fuckin LOOOOVE IT! Now i can finally go to some winnipeg jets games when they come and play the kings down here in LA. Winnipeg is gonna kick some ass in the west now. It used to be to where the West was a stronger division but that is definitely not the case this year and most likely next year.
