or maybe not. Hindsight is 20-20.

Leafs are spending lots of time on the PK - 7 minors so far. Finally Philly took 2 penalties late in the 2nd giving the Leafs a 5-3 advantage. During their 2 man advantage the Leafs gave up a 2 on 1 break and Richards scored to make it 2-1.

ummm... i dunt care??? hahaha i rather care about the boston vs pittsburgh game~~~ just WISH pittsburgh some luck so they can FINALLY win their FIRST game this season... and kick the butt of those big bad bruins for us haha Could the Bruins really finish last in the divsion. I know it is very early in the season and Thornton has missed a number if games but Buffalo has really played well and I think the Leafs may be better than the Bruins.

I was *really* impressed with Kovalev in the 1st. He is working hard especially defensively. No sign floating - just the opposite.

I think this is a very important period coming up. It seems every game so far we completely dominate for 2 of the 3 periods and are horrible in the other period. We need to give it all for 60 minutes. :ghg:

It seems everyone here wants to trade Ribeiro. His 68 points from the last season are worth remembering. He has been struggling so far but we are only 7 games into the new hockey. Also, he has played a lot with Dagenais who isn't helping. I think we need to give Ribeiro time to adjust. He has the skills to excel if he can put it all together and I don't think we will get much if we trade him. I say wait and see what Julien can do to egt him back on track.

I think this means we must be showcasing him for some other team. Can't bench him if we are trying to convince them he is worth trading for.

Bob McKenzie reported that the league sent Chara a warning letter about throwing punches after the players had been separated and while they were being held by the linesmen. [edit for spelling] [Edited on 2005/10/12 by Peter Puck]

I thought this was advice on how to get enough money to afford cable TV and a Centre Ice package. Or maybe a place to meet a rich girl?

You mean Bochenski and not Rucinsky right? I hope so, because 2 Rucinsky's in the NHL is a scary scary thought... so much lazyiness... Whoops some kind of Freudian slip there. :zzz: Yes, I meant Bochenski. Or maybe I was also predicting a trade tomorrow? :eyes:

Since Ottawa is playing tonight they should be a little tired in the game against the Habs . Since I never predict Habs loss here is my prediction: Sens score in the final minute (Spezza) when they pull Emery to tie the game 4-4. Habs win in the shootout. :can: Goals during the game by: Perezhogen, Bullis, Kovalev and Markov. First 3 Ottawa goals: Heatley, Rucinkski, Alfredson.

I agree with this 100%

I'm not sure I understand why the title of this thread contains the word "already". As far as I can see from the leaf's lineup and prospects, Leaf Nation surely should have started panicking in the summer of 2003 if not earlier.

While it is true that the CBC loses money, Hockey Night in Canada is very profitable and a not insignificant amount of this profit can be traced directly to Don Cherry. Many people only watch the first intermission - they don't even bother to watch most games. This is the reason Cherry is still on the air and why he is paid a large salary. If you want the CBC to be run like a corporation, you can't really complain that they put Cherry on the air. Similarly, if you feel the CBC is a "money pit", you can't complain about Cherry; he is reducing the overall cost of the CBC. Hi Peter Puck,

I admit I scoffed when Fozzy/shortcat1 made this prediction in September. I apologize for not having enough faith. :bow:

I just heard Quinn on TSN say that the puck missed Sundin's eye and the injury is not serious. He says Sundin will only have to wait for swelling to go down so that he can see normally.

Wow my tv feed must be slow. There are 12 minutes left according to it.

Did you see any games at the Gardens? I lived in Boston for 5 years and saw the Canadiens eliminate the Bruins in the first round in 86. In the final game of the series the Canadiens entered the 3rd down 2-0. We scored 3 goals including the 3rd with about 5 minutes to go in the game. The fans went wild. The booed for the last 5 minutes of the game. I never saw anything like it. Needless to say the Bruins were unable to mount any attack during those 5 minutes.

Gord Kluzak claims it was an "attempted penalty" by Fitzgerald not a "penalty" Hahaha

Some Bruins announcers are whining about the refs caaling 2 penalties against the Bruins at the end of the game.

How sweet it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As predicted, the leafs have been hit with an injury to a key player. Sundin hit in the eye by a puck leaves game and probably won't return.

Toronto 1 - Ottawa 0

Was Zednik oyt there? I haven't seen him since the first period.
