I was talking with a Supervisor this morning about Toskala's craptitude in the shootout(he has always stunk in them) and that since he always gets beat top shelf, glove side, he should just leave his arm up and just wave it back and forth before they shoot. Heck, he has more of a chance making the save that way than just standing there picking his nose like he is wont to do.

Toskala stinks.

Hey, shadows

I mentioned the comments in bold to one of my co-workers this morning and he almost pissed himself laughing. You made his day.

Glad to be of service Ila.:D

It looks like the Flyers are kicking Tampa Bay's butt tonight(Jen will be happy

). Five goals on 18 shots. Not a very good night for the goalie. Stamkos got another goal though, which is good for my pool! It looks like he is going to have a very good year for Tampa, which I hope translates to a trip to the Olympics with Team Canada.

Hey there xpinkx!

Buffalo is playing very well this year even though Vanek is not lighting up the scoresheet like he did last year. They have a lot of good players and a very good goalie in Miller. I think they will be one of the teams to beat in the playoffs this year.

And that is a nice picture too.

The same thing we always do Pinky, take over the....oh wait. Wrong topic.

Ila, the wonderful Leafs did what they seem to have done all season. They tied up the game in the 3rd period and ended up losing in overtime. Grrrrrr! At least Toskala wasn't in net this time.

Kessel looked good, especially for being out as long as he was. He had 10 shots on net. He took a hard hit(he had his head down, which is a big NO-NO!) but he came back out after only a little time had passed.

The scary thing of it all is that they are ahead of Carolina now even though they only have 1 win.

:D

Montreal also lost to Atlanta, 5-4. Montreal kept coming back and tying it, but Atlanta kept getting the lead right back. Pavelec(the Atlanta goalie) wasn't as sharp as he was against Ottawa the other day(he made 50+ saves), but he was able to keep Montreal from tying that one last time. I didn't watch it, but it sounds like it might have been a fun one.

It looks like the Erie Otter player has been suspended for the entire season and the playoffs for his hit on the Kitchener Rangers player. the Rangers player was hit into the boards and suffered a broken orbital bone, skull fractures, and other facial injuries. He was in critical condition after the hit, but he has since been upgraded to serious. His career is probably finished. I did not see the hit to see if it was a dirty hit or not, but from what I have read(comment wise from various sports forums) it seems that people are split down the middle as to whether or not it was. Scary incident either way!

Toronto has tonight off, but Montreal is playing Boston. They are currently knotted at zero with about 5 1/2 minutes left to play in the first.

Ila, Montreal is now ahead 1-0 after one period of play. Boston has now been shut out for 7 straight periods.

On another note, Krejci has been quarantined due to having the H1N1 flu.

Nice jersey Xpinky

Hockey is the only sport that I will watch a game from start to finish. The Sabres are my favorite team, they are about 70 miles to the west of where i'm located. It doesn't hurt that the owner of the team use to live about 10 miles from me, he still has a home here and his business, but he now calls Florida his home. There are a lot of good teams, but it's not marketed very well nationally here in the States. I'm lucky being close to Canada Hockey does get more media coverage here than most parts of the country.

Ila being a Montreal fan I hope you like Brian Gionta, he grew up in my neck of the woods, I hope he does well for you up there.

LOL I never thought I would be talking hockey here.

shadows · #10 11-05-2009

Sweet. Looks like there are a lot more hockey fans here than I first thought.

Ila, Montreal ended up winning in the shootout, 2-1. Cammalleri got the winner. Not taking anything away from the win, but Boston just doesn't seem to have any offense at all right now.

I wish I had known last night (also forgot to check the sports scores this morning). One of the guys I work with is a big Boston fan. Same thing with one of the women at work. I wouldn't have hesitated to let them know that Montreal won.

btw I don't like overtime in regular season games. I say if the game ends in a tie after three periods then so be it. There should only be overtime in the playoffs.
