  1. Millsy out of the lineup....so Petey had to pick up the slack... Luckily we had the sniper Dries on the #2 unit....
  2. Yeah, I'm not crazy about the Oilers' chances with that defense and goaltending.... Combine that with the fact that zebras tend to put their whistles away far more often in the playoffs.....I think Deadmonton is down the list of Cup favorites. I'm going out on a limb and tiny bit and predicting the Stars come out of the West....the only teams in the league with a better GA total are the B's and the 'Canes.
  3. I doubt that a single Canuck fan feels sorry for Konecny after his cowardly hit and run on Petey last week.
  4. Some of that stuff I was already aware of, but not all of it. The piano thing has always blown me away. I remember when he was still playing for the Canucks, one of the beat reporters remarked about Brash sitting down at the grand piano in the lobby of the hotel as they were checking in and playing it quite well. It just seemed so odd for a guy who chucks knuckles for a lving... But that's only part of it. As a mediocre guitar player who has taught himself to play keys passably well, I can't imagine doing it under the same circumstances DB did. Amazing story. BTW: Good on Georges Laracque for his support of Brash when he was down. Once again, GL shows that you can be an enforcer and still be loaded with class.
  5. Sabres have a ton of fans in Niagara Falls and St Catharines who make the trip across the river to watch them play.
  6. Jays lose to the Yankees 9-5. Vladdy goes deep again, but the thing I found most encouraging was Nate Pearson, although struggling a bit with his control, hit triple digits with the fastball....
  7. One positive though...despite the 2 goals against, I really liked what I saw from Takaoka. If that game is anything to go by, the Caps have upgraded at the Keeper position.
  8. Very disappointing result.... 'Caps were all over RSL for the first 40 minutes and could have been up 3-nil....all those missed opportunities gave the opposition some life and they took advantage. One play in particular that stands out was a 2 on 1 with Gauld and White. Gauld feeds across the box to White, who should have had a clear chance on goal....yet he fumbles the ball and doesn't even get a shot off..... Game in a nutshell: RSL took advantage of their opportunities, while Vancouver didn't.
  9. Boom! Javain Brown with the 'Caps first goal of the season!
  10. He never wanted to be here. It was painfully obvious.
  11. Just in case anyone is unaware, the Whitecaps are playing RSL in a few minutes on TSN....
  12. It's early, but it's one reason that I think you have to listen if the Kings make a competitive offer for Demko... LA is loaded with RHD prospects....
  13. One thing that flew a bit under the radar in this game is that Pasta was a complete non-factor...
  14. I'd say it was his biggest contribution to the team....
  15. It wasn't quite Brandon Prust territory, but it was entertaining....
  16. Yeah. By 9 points....meanwhile the Habs are three points ahead....
  17. Unfortunately, the Habs and Flyers both lost.... Still, after a 7-0 shutout, I'll bet that presser with Torts is "must see" TV....
  18. Everyone making a big deal about Ullmark's goal.... .....I mean, the guy is on the ice for every power play......
  19. They've got the Coilers on Monday.... ....if they start driving right now, they'll probably make it....
