Non-Minnesota NHL News XI

[SPMaximus]

it'd be cool if we had a guy like Rask in goal

 

[tomgilbertfan]

lol bruins.

 

[SPMaximus]

lol bruins.

their offensive ineptitude is worse than ours, its painful to watch

 

[Fel 96]

Kessel currently has the GWG.

 

[Fel 96]

Not anymore.

4-3 Leafs.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Hahaha oh my god are you serious right now?

 

[SPMaximus]

 

[Jaykay]

I turned it with about 5 minutes left, are you kidding me?

 

[Hall of Faber]

O, man the Leafs board right now! Funny stuff

 

[SPMaximus]

cmon refs, why didnt you give them a delay of game penalty when the fans wouldnt stop throwing towels onto the ice



that would have been amazing, fans cause penalty, leafs score OT winner on PP


edit: Leafs/Carlyle this is what happens when you try to defend a lead, you had all the momentum in the game and started turtling toward the end..........

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Wow.
Just
Wow.

 

[SPMaximus]

3 goal lead, the most dangerous lead in hockey!

I can't believe it. I had thought after this last weekend I would see a few teams beat the big bad east teams. I thought Pens, Bruins, and Rangers would all be out- instead they are all in. The only underdog now is Sens- and they certainly don't look like an underdog. Specially if they get Spezza back.

Looks like the best teams really did win this first round (minus Detroit, Sens). Although I know there is no more 'best' teams in the playoffs- but on paper most of those elite teams did actually win.

Frustrating- I'm a huge Caps fan. Luckily my Sharks made it and have a chance to beat out LA.

GO SHARKS!

(Go Wild...next year?

At first I thought you meant viewing this thread. I was like, do we even have 596 members on HF Wild? Then I realized what you meant.

Were I a leafs fan right now I would probably be standing on a rooftop somewhere.

That's got to be just about the most gut-wrenching of a loss to see. I mean come on, TWO extra attacker goals 31 seconds apart? I can't even remember the last time I saw that happen.

I just stared at the screen in sheer disbelief.

 

[Minnesota]

Bergeron's OT goal made me very happy. Love seeing the Leafs finally eliminated.

While this pertains to Minnesota, Boogaard was a member of the Rangers and the lawsuit is more toward the NHL, I thought I would stick it here. Gotta wonder about the publicity this lawsuit is going to do for Minnesota, especially if they lose. It does put a very negative light on the Minnesota organization but on the other hand, I'm curious how many other teams are doing the same damn thing. It'll be an interesting lawsuit and really there isn't going to be any winners here.

 

[Minnesota]

I don't think the lawsuit puts a negative light on Minnesota or the Wild organization per se... More the NHL and professional hockey as a whole. Prescription drug abuse isn't restricted to our team, or even hockey as a sport; it's a much larger problem.

Dallas dumped their head coach and assistant coach.

Well, we don't know that yet. It's a good chance it isn't just Minnesota's problem but still pretty irresponsible of them. It's like the cookie jar and getting caught.

Spezza isn't doing to hot, doubt he comes back anytime soon.

I still can't believe how well they have done without him. Really speaks to Ottawa's depth. Turris, Conacher, Silvferberg, Zibanejad, Wiercioch, Lehner and of course Karlsson. Many are friggin rookies. That is quite a solid young core to work with. All of which are getting a good amount of minutes this year. Ottawa is done rebuilding and is about to go on a tear for quite a few years.
