  1. How was that not cross-checking at teh end of the period behind the net?
  2. Shakey save from Thomas... This is so boring and frustrating at the same time...
  3. Great shot by Ryder! Wrister from the blueline into the stands....
  4. This is a real must-win game for the Bruins. If they don't win tonight, the series is over. They will come out harder than last night. They know they should have won. Our boys had better be ready...
  5. No, I'm going to go straight after my last exam on Thursday and have a huge barbeque and watch the game (if there is one) and get trashed with a bunch of friends. It's going to be amazing.
  6. Although the series isn't over yet, I called the Stars over the Ducks. Here's a link to the Flyers-Capitals game on now.
  7. For my phone's ringtune, I alternate between Ole, the old goal song (with the trumpets), Mortal Kombat, and this video. It's pretty awesome. Right now I'm sticking with the Habs stuff though.
  8. Last summer, the Edmonton GM went on a spending spree. His offer sheet to Thomas Vanek forced Buffalo to sign Vanek to a seven-year contract worth $50 million, starting with a cool $10 million this season. Then Lowe made Dustin Penner an offer Brian Burke could and did refuse to match: $21.25 million for five years. The contract infuriated the Anaheim GM, who has been trashing Lowe ever since. Edmonton also signed Sheldon Souray for $27 million over five years. Lowe's latest signings are defenceman Tom Gilbert and forward Robert Nilsson, young Oilers who were pending Restricted Free Agents. Gilbert, who's 25, got a six-year contract worth $24 million (3.5, 3.5, 5.5, 5, 3.5 and 3). Gilbert, who made $825,000 this season, played 82 games. He scored 13 goals, added 20 assists, was minus-6 and blocked 159 shots – tops among NHL rookies. Nilsson, 23, signed for $5 million over three years (1.5, 2 and 2). He played 71 games, scored 10 goals, added 31 asssists and was plus-8. Nilsson made $942,000 this season. Bear those Edmonton numbers in mind as you weigh the value of a couple Canadiens RFAs: • Mark Streit, 29, scored 13 goals, had 49 assists, was minus-6 and made $600,000. • Andrei Kostitsyn, 22, had 26 goals, 27 assists and was plus-15. His salary was $612,000. Josh Gorges, who made $425,000 this season is another pending RFA. So's Maxim Lapierre. And we won't even talk about Tomas Plekanec and Christopher Higgins, who become RFAs at the end of next season; or Mike Komisarek, who will be a UFA in the summer of '09. www.habsinsideout.com EDIT: Their cap hit for 08-09 is $39,547,000.
  9. He was playing in a super-defensive and mind-numbingly boring series against the offensively-ret@rded Vancouver Canucks. Still good though.
  10. I just have to share a great Ovechkin quote from this TSN this morning: "During season game, you just sometimes sleeping you know, and you make some hit or somebody makes it on you, you just wake up and start realize: Oh! Hockey game!" I love that guy...
  11. Anyone watching the Flames game? What happened in the second period? They got outshot 26-3!
  12. I think you mean laugher. And it wasn't. Here's a statistic for you: including tonight, we haven't scored in 3 straight games on the PP against the Bruins.
