Judging from tonight's game, and the other games he's started in, I believe that James Reimer(the Toronto goalie) should be the #1 goalie for the time being. He is playing a lot better than Gustavsson(he's made 39 saves on 41 shots tonight), and should be rewarded for that.

- it must be! Leafs win 9-3

James Reimer, ended with 41 saves on 44 shots.

Unfortunately, that thug from last season in the QMJHL, Patrice Cormier (Thrashers), did manage to score his first NHL goal late in the the 3rd period.

Thug is the perfect description for him, although I'm sure the original thugs of India wouldn't want him to be associated with them. I would have preferred to see him not picked up by any NHL team. He doesn't deserve the title of hockey player.

I wish I had tickets, but I'll have to watch the television tonight as Montreal visits Boston. This is the third game between these two rival teams this season, and the Habs have won both of the first two. In fact, the Canadiens have an impressive win streak going against Boston: four games and seven of the last eight since the beginning of last season.

The Bruins have a chance to reverse their recent slide and continue their fight for first place in the Northeast Division, where the other three teams seem to be on life support. Montreal enjoyed a comfortable lead early in the season, then December came and the Habs went 2-8-0 for a stretch. The Bruins flexed their bear claws. Now Montreal is on a points-gaining streak (2-0-1), and it's a one-point race again.

The city is abuzz. I was out last night, and there's more French than usual being spoken downtown and in the pubs. Canadiens fans are brave to wear their jerseys in the pubs. They get belligerent. Fights break out. The crowded subway cars that go to the Boston Garden, where hockey is played, are powderkegs in the hour leading up to the game.

All in fun, right?

The only thing bigger in local sports is when the Yankees are in town.

A result that will make Jen happy on her journey home from the Wells Fargo Center.

2-0 down after only 14:41 - Hedberg is replaced by Brodeur who saved all 19 shots he faced in his 44 minutes on the ice.

As bad as I feel being a fan of the Leafs, at least I can take solace in the fact that they aren't the worst team. I'm not saying this with any spite, dauls, just the truth.

Quite by accident (I'm sure), the CBC is showing the Montreal - Boston game tonight so I'll be watching the game along with you, smc, just from a different broadcaster. I have the advantage of being able to watch Don Cherry, though.

You had better get out the Jameson's, smc. You are going to need a good shot of it after tonight's game.
