I know Busta is gonna kill me for this, but it really is amazing how many guys break out of slumps against us or score their first, etc. Just thinking of this season, Grigorenko scored his first ever goal against.  Keith Aucoin had his first against us.  Last night Wellwood scored his first in...

Yup, that'd be my group going forward this year.  Imagine upgrading Bozak with a true number 1 center somehow?  Getzlaf slots in there so nicely it's crazy.

On?

Yup- I'd agree.  Without a doubt.

Somehow, I think this will work out for Ottawa in the long run.  They weren't winning anything this year. Next year, Karlsson, Spezza and Cowen (nobody really talks about him) are going to be back, they will likely have a better pick now, and a lot of their young players will see elevated roles...

Fraser is beasting this year.  Who knows if he can keep it up but I've been continously impressed with him. He hits, he fights, he wins battle along the boards then chips it out, he plays safe, he's (apparently) a great guy in the room (Carlyle said it after the game last night) and his first...

I just checked Bryzgalovs numbers.  They surprise me.  .921 SV% and 2.27GAA.  Anyways, he hasn't played the Leafs much but I seem to remember him being a Leaf killer (in the small sample size.  Can't be more than 4-5 games). Hope we can continue the roll.  Gotta start winning at home!

There was a play Saturday night where some Leaf (can't remember) had the puck along the boards about center ice and was skating into the Habs zone, and JVR BOLTED through the netural zone, skating past all the Habs and catchuing up to the Leaf to make it a 2 on one. He was right in the center...

I heard Pierre McGuire's theory about why we are winning on the road and suck at home (which dates back to last year also). On the road, the Leafs face less pressure and the other team says, 'meh, it's the Leafs coming here... they arent going to make the playoffs' and they don't "get up" for...

Try Phil with Kadri and Frattin. What the hell

My buddy's and I joke about it every game.  We'll mention a name of a guy struggling on the oppositon and chalk him up for a good game. Keith Aucoin scored his first in the NHL in how long?  Grigorenko scored his first ever, Ovy was struggling and scored, yesterday J. Staal scored his first and...

I don't know the odds off the top of my head, but it is going to be very minimal yeah.  You probably aren't far off.

No they aren't. But instead of only the bottom 5 having a chance to win the lottery, now every team that MISSES the playoffs have a chance.  So 14 teams.

Caps are 7-2-1 in last 10 games vs Toronto. I remember they said during last nights telecast that Carolina has won 14 of the last 20 vs Toronto.  I guess thats 15 of the last 21 now. We all know Boston owns us.  I mean, I know that when you constantly finish in the bottom 10 what do you...

MOTM:  JVR HM:  Kule

Right. It's not as if I sit back and say, "thank God we have Reimer going."  I think he's been decent for sure... but I still hold my breathe quite a bit watching him.  His 5-hole seems to have opened up a little this year (though it's early and may just be a small sampling of goals).

Wasn't Jason Garrison (for the Panthers) a bit of a Mike Kostka? In that he was a bit of a journeyman late bloomer and caught on fairly late (26/27 years old)... then had that great season last year in which he parlayed that into suckering Mike Gillis into a huge contract?

Exactly how well did we do with that trade? Edit:  A better trade is Ken Klee for Suglobov... uh nevermind.  Or maybe Ponikarovsky for Luca Caputi.  No wait.  Or Antropov for the almighty 2nd round pick who turned out to be .... um.... who did it turn out to be again?  Kubina for Exelllbeee...

8th pick overall?  That's still to high for us. Top 4-5 pick guaranteed.
