NHL 2011 General Discussion

[QUOTE="JohnBean42"]

I asked if the Leafs gave team Canada a pep talk. And what do they do the night after the Gold medal game? Blow a 3 goal lead with 14 minutes left in the third:lol: But they won...and ran over Atlanta 9-3 lastnight:shock: 15 goals in 2 games? I don't think they've scored that many in the last 2-3 weeks combined.

I wouldn't expect that from anyone actually based on how well Pavalec is playing. Maybe Tampa or the Flyers could too.

The West is crazy. Kings went from 4th, and with a loss and other teams wins, is in 12th. Going to be close until the end.

The Leafs:cry: And the Flyers, cheared for them since 2003 or so. Richards is my favorite players, since junior in Kitchener he has been.

Lol. The Flyers make up for it this season.

tough Canucks/Wings game tonight. Could have gone either way.

So Sidney Crosby feels that David Stekel's hit on him in the Winter Classic wasn't legal. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=5988345

Sorry Sid, it looks accidental to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUQziwabMKk&feature=related

Calgary Flames' Tom Kostopoulos suspended 6 games for his head shot on Detroit's Brad Stuart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCEfidjKk4I&feature=related

the West is such a CLUSTERF***

Mid-season draft rankings were released today. And my favorite junior players is number one, Gabriel Landeskog of the Kitchener Rangers.

http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=348854

Another Ranger, Ryan Murphy, is #10, and it wouldn't be surprising to end up seeing him top 5 with Landeskog. Don Cherry has said time after time Murphy will be #1 and he has guessed right the past few years.

Leafs win 3 straight!

Remier is hot right now. (:

The Sharks are completely snakebit right now. It would've been really nice to win last night's game because 350+ of us went down in 5 buses to the game in Anaheim. Ron Wilson is going for his 600th career victory tonight against his former club. I hope he doesn't get it lol.

All-Star Rosters are in!

Looks like Duchene will be representing the Avs 8)

:shock: Kessel made it, but not Zetterberg or Mike Richards. Oh god:lol:

Come on Leafs, win your 4th straight and 600th for Wilson. Even though I want him gone, that's a great accomplishment. Start Reimer tonight and we should win! Sad to see him get sent down when Giggy is back,he's played great, especially if he wins tonight.

Leafs win fourth in a row against the Sharks, win #600 for Mr. Wilson. (:

Burke CANNOT send down Reimer now. 4 team wins in a row, 3 for him. Last night: 4 PP, 21 saves in the second alone. The night before, 6-on-4 with a minute to go. Their PK has gone from 28th or 29th to 25th in this 4 game stretch. Maybe they can move Jiggy, or go to a 3 goalie rotation thing. Just don't send him down.

Senators are on a 6 game losing streak and need to win against the Islanders if Cory Clouston want to keep his job

Flyers got robbed. They should have won that game.

And Leafs finally lost a game.

Canucks lost (they got shutout) by The Rangers 1-0 Both goalies were on their game

Mkavanaugh77

Tough for the Leafs. Oh well.

'Nucks and Caps tonight. (:

Vancouver Vs The Rangers tonight!Mkavanaugh77

Finally the Blue Jackets end this losing streak! Great game; after the first period it was all Steve Mason, stopping many tough shots.

Damn bad news for the Avs, Ryan O'Reilly just got carted off the ice, hopefully he's ok. hockey73

I'd like to see what Brunnstrom can do, although I think he's starting in the AHL. Hopefully it's one of those "change of scenery" kind of things and he'll get back on track..but that hasn't worked out great for Phaneuf's offense.

I will not be surprised if the Leafs give back everything the just won, and lose 3 out of 4 or 4 out of 5 now that Reimer is back in the Minors. I know it shouldn't make that big a difference, but it looked likea different team with him in net. I won't worry though. Jiggy will hurt his groin again in a couple weeks:P Maybe he will get traded...

Surely it was not Giguere's fault the Leafs lost tonight.

Surely. Both him and Kiprusoff played incredibly well.

John Tavares gets a hat trick for the Islanders in a 5-3 win over Buffalo.Los9090

Anyway, thought I'd mention to everyone, Yahoo Sports offers free live games on a majority of days (it's blacked out if it's your own team), for the US at least. But I'm currently watching the Preds vs. Hawks, watched the Pens vs. Bruins earlier.

Congratulations to Patrick Marleau and Jamie Langenbrunner for reaching 1000 games. I don't think two players have played their 1000th game on the same night as another player. Both scored a goal in their teams' victories to boot. I grew up watching Patty and he's still one of my favorite players. He's the 3rd youngest to reach the milestone, but would have been the youngest if it weren't for the lockout year.

JP Dumont gets his first hatty in nearly TEN YEARS in a win for Nashville

Damn, I didn't know Marleau played that many games already. Good trade for the Stars to acquire Langenbrunner, he's probably extremely happy to get out of Jersey. hockey73

Yeah, it doesn't feel like he's been in the league for 14 years. If Marleau was born one day later, he would've had to wait until the 1998 NHL Draft. Lucky for him lol. I remember hearing that he needed a parent's signature to play in a pre-season game because he was still a few days from turning 18 at the time.

Update 2nd Period... Rangers 6 - Leafs 0. Gaborik 4 goals!!! :D

Jesus f***ing christ.

This is ridiculous, but I have got to give kudos to Gaborik.

Hell, I am expecting him to get 6 before the game is done.

Jarome Iginla out and Daniel Briere is rightfully entered into the All Star game

When the Leafs get back to Toronto, heads are going to be rolling.

Update 2nd Period... Rangers 6 - Leafs 0. Gaborik 4 goals!!! :D

ohjtbehaaave

What a night for Gaborik and the Rangers. How often do players produce THAT quickly after getting benched/scratched? haha
