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.

*sigh*

Another night, another freaking lead blown by the Leafs. They coughed up a 2-1 lead and ended up losing 3-2 to Columbus. Arghhhhhhh!

Here are some other scores, none of which will make for happy members.

1. Atlanta beat Boston 3-2 in the shootout. Bad enough that the Bruins lost, but to have it happen via the shootout? Smc is probably quite irate!

2. Tampa Bay beat Montreal 4-1. I honestly have no idea why Montreal always has these "December swoons". Before tonight's games, they were in eighth place, only 4 points up on Carolina(and Carolina has 2 games in hand!). The Mods are NOT having a good night.

The Sharks won 4-3 in an excellent game between #7 and #8 in the west. 7 different scorers. Hard hitting.

I'd feared an early start to the usual 3 period collapse when the BlackHawks scored 2 to tie it in the last 30 seconds of the second period. Instead, in the third, Jumbo tipped in a point shot to go ahead and the D held on for the regulation win. In fact our D got 5 points.

The Sharks are now 3-0 against the team that stopped their Stanley Cup run last year. Randy Hahn said "if only we could get them in our division". 9 teams in the west have 40-45 points now.

Sorry. Final was 5-3. I forgot about Ryane Clowe's empty netter with 45 seconds left. 8 different scorers.
