Jacques Lemaire thinks "Why am I here?"

At least Ilya Kovalchuk showed a bit of fight during the second period.

We're only 20pts behind 8th placed Boston.

And to add insult to injury, The Islanders won tonight by beating Montreal 4-1(in which Montreal outshot the Islanders 39-25).

Here are the scores from Dec. 26th's games:

1. Toronto beat New Jersey 4-1. Not much to say about this game except that I am happy the Leafs won. The way the Leafs have played so far this season, I wasn't sure if they would be able to win or not.

2. New York Islanders beat Montreal 4-1. The back-breaker seems to be the Game Misconduct given to Max Pacioretty for Boarding. The Islanders scored two goals on that PP(#'s 3 & 4). Montreal also took 7 other penaltys, and that is never a good thing to happen when you are playing from behind.

Those are the only games that are finished that are followed by members here. One other score to mention is the Ottawa 3-1 victory. The reason I mention this is that Sidney Crosby scored and now has a 24 game point-streak!

CANADA wins their first game 6-3 over Russia.

Go Canada, GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!


ETA: Dang, I guess white doesn't show up too well against this background. Oops!

We:
- - - held the lead for a full 47 seconds in the 1st period.
- - - outshot the Rangers 44-26.
- - - are the NHL's lowest scoring team with only 62 goals (18 goals less than the Islanders).
- - - are 1-11-0 in the last twelve - all games decided in 60 minutes, none of this OT rubbish.

That's six straight losses - and we have scored only one goal in each of these six games.

Prediction for Friday's game: a loss by 3-1 or 2-1 to the Thrashers.

I am honestly amazed that the Leafs haven't scored less goals!

I cannot wait for the baseball season to start so I can stop looking at this shitty-ass team embarrass itself(and the fans!) with their lackadaisical play.

And the Islanders won again! They beat Pittsburgh 2-1 in a shootout(yay!) and also stopped Crosby's point streak.

At least Canada won 10-1 against Norway in the World Juniors!

Was there any doubt about this one, shadows?

So, if I understand correctly, you would rather have the disappointment of the Blue Jays playing quite well but still not being able to compete well enough to make any headway in a division that includes the Red Sox (who as of this writing look, to many baseball writers, as invincible next season) and the Yankees?

Yes I would. At least the Blue Jays look like they are trying to win their games. And I don't take much stock in what baseball writers have to say. They were pegging New York to win it all last year, weren't they?

I am not saying that Boston won't do well, but anything can happen on the field(or off it). Injuries, poor chemistry, bad luck. Anything can happen. As long as the Yankees don't win, I will be happy.

At last, the Devils win to break a humiliating 6-game losing streak, and Kovalchuck even managed to score.

You had the right score, just backwards.

Well the winter classic games are now over
So what did everyone think?
Are you fans of these games or just think no biggie just a fad/gimmic
When they first started this i was one that was thinking it wouldn't last and looks like i was wrong and i like the games but and here's a big but they should not repete not play hockey in Fenway park as the ref's view is blocked and i guess that is why they failed to see in ot Boston had to many men on the ice
