Great to have these two rivals face off. No matter how bad the Leafs can be they certainly do not show this when they play the Canadians. I'm not a Leaf fan but I do wish them success.

Gnu, that is quite a crafty statement.
I hate to say this but I think that Toronto will have more points than the Habs this year. They really didn't do much to improve their team and placing all that pressure on Price is one hell of a huge chance. Management may have it correct but here in Montreal it is the fans who determine if you are going to make it. Sorry, but if Price has a few bad games......Look out.
Wings had a good one last evening.

Is it just me, or are the Devils forwards not too interested in giving Kovy the puck?

Someting like this: "Sure, Kovy, come on in an eat up our entire salary cap. We didn't really want raises anyhow, and we don't really mind playing one whole offensive line short-- because your salary prevents us from bringing in people to cover injuries. Be guess what?!? We still prefer to score our own goals now that mgmt has decided to focus a bit less on defense and actually try to have an offense. You want the puck?
Get the damn puck yourself!"

The new flag they're waving now in the NHL is concussions.
I don't know the number of players who have had their careers ended because of fighting and can only name one. But, I could name a few who have had shortened careers because of the new rules to eliminate fighting!
I'm not in favour of staged fights, but I do think there's room in the game for the guy who says "hit him again and I'll break your nose"!

(just for the giggle folks)

Dear Abby,

I am a crack dealer in Brockville, ON who has a steady flow of
customers from the nearby high school. My parents live in a suburb of Toronto and one of my sisters, who lives in Kitchener, is married to a transvestite.

My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and
selling marijuana and are currently dependent on my other two sisters, who are prostitutes in Hamilton.

I have two brothers. One is currently serving a life sentence with no parole for 25 years for a murder in 1994. The other brother is currently in jail awaiting charges of sexual misconduct.

I have recently become engaged to marry a former Thai prostitute
who lives in Windsor and is still a part-time "working girl" in a
brothel.

All things considered, my main problem is this: I love my fiance
and look forward to bringing her into the family. I certainly want to be totally honest with her. Should I tell her about my cousin, who is a Leaf's fan???

Rangers need Messier to guarantee things.
Boston is just like a "big ugly bear.

Detroit can't fly on one wing.

Blackhawks have almost been wiped out already once this year.

There's no shame in (closet)cheering for a team that has won 23 cups!

I would love the Leafs to get back on track. To the point where I have considered selling my soul(Lucifer cowered at the thought, and said he couldn't afford it). My Leafs shirt, with the statement "There's always next year!" has become a holy relic and been retrieved from the "rag bag" on numerous occasions over the decades!

I'm trying to do something different this year(Canucks), hoping it will make a difference next year!

the leafs will be awfull untill they management that cares about winning and not just making money.

burke is signing neanderthalls. maybe they make the playoffs next year but really the odds are against it. they keep going for goons and ignoring the draft. i did think the colborn acquisition was good. but their defense really needs coaching to play defense and not just to try amd take everyones head off and getting out of position all the time.

the habs prospects are good. price and suban are the real deal and there are a dozen good prospects in the system. they do have to send gomez to the minors and concentrate in signing the talent they have, and maybe a top forward if they can.

but really leafd fans , NO ONE SCARES ABOUT THE MOST SCREWED UP TEAM IN THE LAST FORTY YEARS. SO WHAT IF THEY GET UP FOR HABS GAMES--WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 76?

I wish he had ended up off the ice for good. It's that kind of crap that caused me to stop watching hockey years ago.

Until the rules are enforced and the goons are gone... even the Stanley Cup finals are hard to watch for me. I had hoped it would change in the final games but it didn't.

MONTREAL - Zdeno Chara hoisted the Stanley Cup as captain of the Boston Bruins two weeks ago. Now the big defenceman will have something else on his hands: a meeting with Montreal cops.

Montreal police announced Tuesday that they intend to question Chara soon — but they wouldn't say when or where they planned to do it.

A probe is nearing completion into the Chara hit last March that sidelined Montreal forward Max Pacioretty and sparked demands for a crackdown on hockey violence.

A police spokesman said Chara was the final person they needed to speak with to complete their investigation; after that, the Crown will decide whether to press charges.

"The last person to meet is the person targeted by the investigation and that will be done in the coming weeks or months," Ian Lafreniere said.

"In terms of whether or not it's going to happen in Boston or whether it will happen here (in Montreal), we don't discuss those details and we never publicize the fact that we're meeting a suspect."

The combination of Chara's high profile and the hockey-mad culture of Montreal have made for an unusual case.

When Chara shoved his rival into a stanchion, breaking a vertebra and ending his season on March 8, he received a game misconduct.

The NHL, however, ruled the hit was legal and did not hand out a suspension. That prompted a flood of calls to the Montreal police switchboard where ordinary Montrealers offered to report an assault.

Quebec's director of criminal prosecutions then ordered an investigation into the hit, which will ultimately result in the police encounter with Chara.

The meeting has taken a while to set up; police declined to question Chara during the Bruins' two-month championship playoff run.

"Most of these people were hockey players so in terms of (them being) available was hard because they were involved in the finals also," Lafreniere said.

Lafreniere noted that the Boston Bruins have been extremely co-operative, having hired a Montreal lawyer to act as an intermediary.

Experts have weighed in that they felt it was unlikely that Chara would face any charges.

Pacioretty, himself, has said he was "upset" and "disgusted" that a player could get away with such a hit and not be punished by the NHL. However, he has also said he disagrees with resorting to criminal prosecution.

Pacioretty reacted Tuesday with a terse statement on his Twitter page: "Last comment on this: I hope Chara is NOT prosecuted. I have moved on from my incident and I hope everyone else can do the same," he wrote. "All I am focused on is getting ready for next season, and will no longer comment on the past."

The promising young forward, who also sustained a concussion, recently signed a new two-year contract with the Canadiens and is expected to be ready for next season.

News of the police plans to question Chara triggered instantaneous, scornful reactions from Boston media and fans on Twitter.

One typical fan comment quipped: "Montreal police are still bringing in Chara for questioning? Waste of taxpayer dollars. I hope he brings the Cup with him."

Another Bruins fan joked: "I can imagine the line of questioning now. 'So, Mr. Chara... What's it (like) to win the Cup? Can we have a picture?'"
