The scheduling is a mess. The Sabres opened on Saturday, yet they don't play again until Thursday? And then they have around 20 stretches of three games in four nights later in the season.

I actually have to keep Luongo on the bench until further notice.

He looks like a trauma victim. I hope Game 6 didn't break his head.

I'm not worried about him, he's notoriously ordinary in October. He'll be better in November and hopefully reel off another string of club-record shutouts....I hope.

It's a good thing that games in October don't actually count towards the playoff race, then!

Yeah, I don't think we can count on Calgary crapping all over themselves down the stretch this year. Unless Kipper or Iginla gets hurt.

So... anyone watching this PIT/PHX game on TSN?
I think Furio had a talk with the refs before the game.]
Edit: With Carey Price, too.

Phoenix shutting out Pittsburgh? Terrible. Vancouver winning 7-1? Maybe they read f13 and didn't want to let us down!

Vancouver was cruising so well I turned it off after 2 to play NHL 10. I had it Tivoing in the bedroom, so I was going to watch the 3rd in bed. Got in bed all excited to watch it and discovered that my fucking retarded TiVo didn't change the channel so I got some random shit instead. :arrgh:

That would be 1ST PLACE PHOENIX COYOTES! I reckon teams are taking a bankruptcy tottering team in disarray lightly. But OTOH they actually have a coach now. |

Yes, they actually have a coach. That'd be the major change.
With Philly tonight, I also suspect Pittsburgh may have been guilty of looking beyond Phoenix.
That, and the refs are crooked. It's Gary trying to get Phoenix into the playoffs so ticket sales improve, I think.
(I just want to say I started it incase Phoenix does have a good season. That's all people will be saying on hockey forums.)

Stay classy, Philly.  Where is Crosby's edge, by the way? His work down low and his ability to be the best grinder that ever played the game is what put him on par with Malkin and Ovechkin. He's playing without that and he's not even close to those two at the moment. |

I'm getting known as the anti-Philly guy around here I think, so I decided I'm not saying shit.
What happened pretty much speaks for itself, though.

Can the Pens handle the DEFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT that is Toronto?!?  Fuck making the playoffs, I don't think we are going to win a game this season.  |

Can the Pens handle the DEFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT that is Toronto?!? Fuck making the playoffs, I don't think we are going to win a game this season. Well after two they're getting utterly schooled. Monday they draw the Rangers so chances are they'll be 0-5. Planning to be meaner and tougher is fine; but they might have wanted to think of about what will happen when they keep handing Crosby and Malkin power plays. They're not even succeeding in the toughness department. My Sens go to ACC, play poorly, and still win as they jam their gloves in the Leafs faces all night. If their 1st rounder ends up a lottery pick...  |

Not seeing why it wouldn't be at this point.
I said from day one that Burke was an idiot, they wouldn't make the playoffs, etc. I won't rub it in when the season is over and Leafs fans are REALLY upset, but I sure will right now.

Funniest hockey moment of the season: Leafs 2010 first rounder ends up being 1st overall.
Brian Burke calls up the Bruins asking if he could "Seriously pretty please" have it back.

I'm pretty sure the Leafs had more Fights and Penalties then shots for the first period. Which wouldn't be hard, since they had a grand total of two shots after the 1st.
Who the fuck is supposed to be our goal scorers on this team? Shit who is our Captain even, I honestly don't know.
One of the announcers had a decent comment, the Leafs seem to be stuck in Slow-Mo replay while the Pens are Fast-Forwarding through the game.
This game really highlighted how absolute shit the Leafs are currently. The Washington game was bad for the Leafs, but this one just sucked what very little life was left. "2-0, woo goal 2-1 we are back in! *15 seconds go by* wait nvm, 3-1. Sorry no, 4-1, maybe we can beat the traffic... oh hay 4-2 woo Go Leafs g... 5-2, rite... so should we take the Gardiner or try Lakeshore?*" There was at no point that the Pens were even mildly concerned of the outcome.

Sorry, but the problem is management. I'd say it's Brian Burke, but it's the management. Certainly that includes Burke to a large degree, but it's everything that's gone on with the Leafs for the last decade. It's letting Burke do what he's doing right now.
The Leafs remind me of the Penguins of five or six years ago. Problem? Constantly fucking up management is worse than having no management at all. Burke's ego doen't help. In fact, it'd also be better to have no GM at all than it would be to have Brian Burke.
The system is set up so that if you suck, you are provided golden opportunities to get better. Big BB traded those opportunities for a team that still sucks, and now you're just screwed. I say "I told you so" a lot for a guy that professes to hate doing it, but since when does adding a bunch of fighters and some hitters substitute for skill?
Boy, we're gonna lose - but hopefully we're gonna hurt some people doin' it!
"Awesome!" the fans cried.
Look, he got lucky with a pre-assembled team of skill and added toughness, then won a cup. Guess what, dude - the Leafs aren't in such a fortunate position as to provide you with a winner by default that really only needs supplemental toughness to compete. You actually need to be good at your job -- and you're just not. Period.
Trading two (very) potentially Top-5 picks and a second rounder to boot (a LOT of good players in the league were second round picks) for fucking Phillip J. Kessel, a guy who scored a career high 69 points alongside one of the BEST centremen in the league last year on a stellar Boston club was one of the stupidest fucking things I've ever seen anyone do in hockey.
Choke on it for making the most loyal fans in hockey endure more of this shit, Burke.

There are a couple of feuding owners in the MLSE or whatever, that constantly stick their noses into shit. I don't even know their names, but I know they've been "helping" the Leafs along for years now. I still have my parade party ready though!  |

Oh what an epic it is. There's a lot to cover over 40 years so I'll just touch on the current junta: Their mess really started when the CEO Richard Peddie, who made his name in the business world selling canned beans, fancied himself a hockey exec and started sticking his nose in. He ended up underming and forcing out Pat Quinn, and replacing him with Ferguson Jr., claiming they would mould him into some sort of super GM. This of course failed. Another exec, Larry Tanenbaum started to get involved as well. And his friendship with Tie Domi interfered with Paul Maurice's influence over the room. Then they castrate their own choice for GM, who was totally in over his head, by claiming they were going to hire a 'mentor' for him (why just make them the new GM?). So now Burke is in and has at least managed to keep those clowns at bay (for now), but his moves may form a new chapter. Whoops! 7-2 Rangers over Leafs. |

What is the longest losing streak in NHL history? I predict the Leafs will get within 1 game of it, then actually win.
They suck so bad they will fail at failure.

God I hope none of you picked any Leaf players.
Unless your pool awards points for penalty minutes, then you better grab Komisarek.

Well, I always admit when I'm wrong, and this certainly warrants it. I called for the Leafs to squeek into the playoffs this year, but last I checked a team needed to be on the plus side of the ledger in goals at the end of at least one game. Oh well, wrong again. I know it's awfully early to tell, but 0-6, come on. You're killing us here. Oh, and btw, there is no current captain this year , and it shows. |

 Hayo. I still stand by what I said earlier in the thread though. It's all Kerry Fraser's fault. His missed call on Wayne Gretzky in 93 has reverberated through the space time continum and created the Leafs in their current state. Or maybe I'be been watchin too much TNG lately, who knows.

Hey guyse, can we redraft?
I really want Crosby, Malkin, Gaborik, Nash, Kovalchuk, and maybe OV.
Anyone want to trade for Brian Gionta?
