I feel sorry for Kazakhstan. 15-0. I think the IIHF really has to look at the rules, and change the tie breaker being the goal differential. How is this good for hockey in Kazakhstan? These players are feeling so shitty right now - they've been scored on 24 times in 2 games, while scoring 0. Heck, Canada looked embarrassed to be scoring so much......after 5-6 goals, they stopped celebrating. 15-0 games are good for no one.

Finally the Canucks bump the slump, by dominating the Sens. Shutout for the Sandman.

Yeah, that was a great game last night.

Man, what is going on with the Sens? Murray has to be pulling his hair out.

I have no idea what's going on there. It's like they became Tampa, when they had the big 3 and no scoring support. Heatley, Spezza and Alfie are scoring, but people that they counted on to score like Fisher, Vermette are nowhere to be seen. Coming into the season, who woulda thought Ottawa would be behind Toronto? I'd have you called crazy if you told me that.

Woah, blast from the past - Sharks sign Claude Lemieux to a 2 way contract.

I suppose he and Chelios will have some good battles.......

I doubt he will make it past the minors, unless he plays well and some injuries happen.

I wish Boston would stop winning.

 Amen.

Per TSN, Jean Beliveau was taken to the hospital with an undisclosed illness. I hope it isn't serious. =[

I dunno, I kind of like Boston winning. Especially since they have Lucic, a dude who I've watched for years.

Yeah, lets hope it isn't too bad.

So, Cherepanov shouldn't really have been playing hockey - heart condition.

Canada beats Germany 5-1...........US up next on New Years Eve.......I'm really looking forward to that game. Should be a close game - 2 strong teams.

I'll be watching the Winter Classic at Wrigley field on New Years.

So who here thinks that San Jose will break the record for Wins this year?

I think they will, they are unstoppable!
