I couldn't believe Montreal lost to the Capitals in that Saturday night game. In the last fikteen seconds of play, Montreal had a penalty called on them, leaving it a 6 on 4 offense against the Canadiens. They slapped on in to tie the game. Then the freaking shootout. After all of the saves that Price made, he misses the last shot. Depressing.

Still, I'd rather see Montreal lose in a close match (good game) than watch them annhilate the competition where the game is not really as fun to watch.

And even though it was via the shootout(which fellow Montreal fan Ila hates with a passion!), your team got a point. Heck, that's how my Leafs got the majority of their points so far.

As long as we get some good players in return. I have no illusions that he would stay past next season, so we may as well trade him and rebuild the team.

And I would not give up on your team yet, Jen! There is still a LOT of hockey left to play.

A shortstop that was a good fielder and cannot hit? The Toronto Blue Jays would sign you to a contract for sure! Heck, they did for John McDonald and he is exactly the same. Good glove, no bat.:D

All these comments and score updates, but no mention of Tomas Vokoun getting slashed by his own teammate, Keith Ballard. I have never seen anything like it. Don't think the rules allow for giving him a slashing penalty, but he should have gotten an unsportsman like one. Wonder if he will get a suspension? Anyone have any comments?

Thankfully it looks like Vokoun will be okay. They are saying that there is no inner ear damage and besides the laceration near his ear that required stitches, he is totally fine. It has also been said that Vokoun bears no ill-will to Ballard and neither does the rest of the team. There will be no suspension from either the League or the Panthers. I think that is fine, since Ballard will be punishing himself for what he did.

I do not think that Ballard will ever be doing anything like that again.

Ila! Please don't ban me! It wasn't my fault that Toronto beat Montreal 3-0! I'm just happy that they won a game.

Ban Toskala instead. He deserves it.

shadows, maybe you won't get a ban, just a 'two game' suspension.

LOL! If I can, you're getting Repped for that!

ETA: Damn! I have to spread it around first. Maybe I can bribe Ila to not "suspend" me.

Drats! He is un-reppable to me as well! Methinks I'll be seeing the headsman's axe shortly!

Derek Jeter was Sport's Illustrated Male Athlete of the year. I disagree with that choice. While he's a good athlete, the Yankee's didn't need him to win(since they bought everyone else! LOL!). What about Usain Bolt? Roger Federer? There were lots of choices, but I feel there were better ones out there than Derek Jeter.

And if the Jays trade Halliday to the Yankees I will be severely ticked off. It sucks enough that he will probably be traded, but to trade him to a Divisional rival? And one who has an obscene payroll?

[transjen]

NO NO NO not the Yankees he sould sign with the Phillies

Here are the scores for December 1st.

1. Toronto beat Montreal 3-0. I am not going to gloat. I am just happy that they won. It looks like Gustavsson left early due to a high heart rate. They say it isn't anything serious, but I hope they are able to correct the flaw before anything horrible happens.

2. Chicago beat Columbus 4-3 in the shootout. Deja vu? 4-3? Hossa got 2 assists.

3. LA beat Anaheim 4-3. Hmmmm. Another tale of 4-3.

4. San Jose beat Ottawa 5-2. They are on a ROLL!

Small amount of games tonight, so it was a little easier to finish.:D

I laughed so hard that I couldn't I couldn't hold my mouse still enough to hit the ban button.

Montreal and Toronto shall meet again this season and Toskala will be in his usual form then. Hopefully Montreal knows enough to put the puck high and glove side.

Maybe a stern talking to will do it. After all shadows didn't gloat.

Thanks Ila.

I hadn't seen you post in here for a couple of days now, so I thought you may have been on a vacation or something.:D

I am not sure the day that Toskala is coming back from his injury(when his contract is over hopefully?) so I am not sure if he will be in net for their next matchup(when is the game anyhow?). Judging from the fans reactions on tsn.ca, Price did not play a very good game. However, how can he be expected to bail out the poor offense every single game? No bashing going on here, just an honest observation. The offense is horrible!

And it looks like Montreal traded their former 1st round pick(from 2004) Chipera(sp?) to Anaheim for a 4th round pick in the 2011 draft. Perhaps they are clearing some cap space for an upcoming trade?

Maybe you're gonna need a bigger ban button installed ahead of the next grudge match

I'm having trouble with NHL.com, they must have a virus.
It says the Canucks beat the Devils 5-2.
Is the same bug affecting your computer?
