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.

Thanks for the update. I can't get the game except on a French pay channel of which I don't subscribe to.

Just saw this thread - Huge hockey fan. I am watching the Red Wings and Sharks right now. Between first and second period. I used to be a big Wings fan when they had Stevie Y and before the Sharks. No team can break your heart like the Sharks. I like to watch any hockey game. Most other sports, I need to have a rooting interest.

It sucks, eh Jen? I think a huge reason that Phillie lost was due to Manuel's head-scratchingly dumb Managerial decisions that he made in the World Series.

I really, really did NOT want A-Roid to win a ring. I cannot think of anyone less deserving than him(and not just for the steroid usage, as there are a lot of people in baseball that have used enhancing drugs).

At least you can take solace in the fact that they won the World Series last year and got to the World Series again this year. My Blue Jays haven't even gotten into the playoffs since 1993.
