Oh, and by the way, it's defense that they weren't playing. Maybe if they did play defence, they would be better.

No, ila's wording is correct. The way they are playing right now, the Bruins are straddling de-fence to the playoffs.

The Leafs, however, lost the damned key to the gate a loooong time ago. I think that Rat-fink bastard Toskala took it!

Wow! Now we all can have another reason for wishing we could be Canadian: so we can make puns like that with those wacky Great North spellings!

Of course. Defence - noun Defense - verb The act of getting on de-fence is de-fensing.

Okay, let's put a halt to this before I engage in some defenestration.

Then you won't have to worry about throwing stones.

Anyone want to lay odds on how long Ovechkin will get suspended for the Game Misconduct he received for nailing Brian Campbell from behind into the boards? Or will he not get any suspension at all because he is a star player? It's not like he really got suspended the last time even though they "gave" him one. Everyone knew he was going to miss a few games due to injury so the suspension was only given because of that(he should have gotten the suspension to be started when he returned from the injury).

He plays hard, but he crosses the line from time to time. Just because he is a star player does NOT mean he shouldn't be suspended if he does something that warrants it.

I'm pretty sure Vladimir Putin has some say on what happens to Ovechkin ... or at least if the NHL knows what's good for it.
