my prof at kwantlen had season tickets and couldn't go, so i offered to take them of his hands.

Is it Bob Fuhr? Your prof I mean.



Kaberle provides a list of teams he would accept a trade to. Kubina is expected to as well. http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=267388&lid=sublink06&lpos=headlines_nhl

Things are starting to heat up. Just over 2 weeks left to go until the trading deadline. Last year I skipped school to watch it........I hope I can do that again. 6 wonderful hours watching it (while simultaneously studying for a test the next day.......yeah, I didn't do so good).



Tonight's win felt so good........especially coming from behind. But man, was Kipper ever excellent. That stick save was amazing.



Gainey showed Kovalev who's boss. Kovalev is playing like shit, but he isn't really the problem. It's the horrid defense and terrible coverage in our own zone. And I'm glad they sent Sergei down, he was contributing nothing. He will be back though.

So many problems. I can't see how we will beat the Capitals tomorrow, especially with Price in net. Should save some energy for the struggling Pens the next night and a weak Sens team on Saturday. Try to get some momentum before starting a long home stand with a game versus the Canucks.

^^ haha no but i did get my tickets for the devils game from him thou, nucks are looking good thou, i wonder if the canucks will pick up a top 4 defencive player.



 

I don't think there's really room for another top 4 D, since even if Salo gets injured (which he most likely will), there's still Mitchell, Ohlund, Bieksa, and Edler. Brining in another top 4 D might make things a bit too crowded. Although, I've heard that they may try to go for Kaberle (but it's a rumour, so don't put too much stock in it.......especially when Burkie's still pissed about not being invited for Linden's retirement ceremony).

I do want another defenseman, because I'm not the biggest fan of Davison or O'Brien. I prefer another guy as #6 when they're all healthy, and O'Brien when Salo (or someone else) gets injured.



I love Hockey Day in Canada! Back-to-back all Canadian affairs. 9 hrs of hockey for me today!

Right now it's 2-0 Montreal in Game #1.....Kovalev seems to have had a fire lit under him, coming off his 2 day "break." This drug related situation seems to have little affect at the moment, on the Habs......but we'll see how things play out.

Game #3 will be the always fierce battle of Alberta. Edmonton trying to make the playoffs, and Calgary trying to maintain their division lead, over the Oilers and the Canucks.

Game #2 is the most intriguing to me. Not only is it my team playing, but it marks Sundin's return to Toronto. Will he be cheered? Jeered? Will he play well? Will he be jittery? So many exciting things to ponder......just over 3 hrs left!



I hope he gets cheered. If Sundin gets heckled or jeered, I'll lose faith in my fellow Leaf fans.



did anyone think sundin was gonna miss that shotout atept, that was the ending I was hoping for
