Thursday... I always like to watch the first Habs/Leafs game. This year, it FEELS like fall so I am more keen than usual.

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 Leafs aren't far away. They're only six points behind Carolina (they're in 8th place in the conference). They might have a shot at
the playoffs this season. I'll pay more attention if they actually do.

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"!

Leafs....4 points out!

(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???

For the 6th season in a row, I have to pick another team to cheer for during the playoffs!
Always been a closet Canadiens fan.
Cheered for Philly when a cousin played for them.
Can't stand the Capitals.
Not big on the Penguins.
Nashville just means I have a "Pekka" in my playoff pool!(cold and deep too)
Ducks are good eating.
Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.
Rangers need Messier to guarantee things.
Boston is just like a "big ugly bear.
Sabres are as dull as a butter knife.
Detroit can't fly on one wing.
Coyotes are a nuisance.
Blackhawks have almost been wiped out already once this year.
Kings will get de-crowned.
Sharks are endangered.
Canucks....hmmm, the Canucks? J/C...don't tell anyone!

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

When I pick my "all-time" 1st team of all-stars, there will be one guy who played briefly for the Leafs and maybe as many as 3 Canadiens!

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!

Been away, and leaving again. Brother just had a liver transplant. Thanks to the fucking tainted blood scandal that took place in Canada about 20 years ago. I am now leaving for London Ontario tomorrow a.m. for a celebration instead of a funeral.
Hockey,
yes I am disappointed that the Wings are out but not that sad.   Old age creeping in I guess. However, I just want to say that i have been treated over the past recent years to some extraordinary play by a few individuals on the Red wing team. now I am not a Leaf,Canadian, Boston or all the other team followers, but I do appreciate Excellencies when i see it. To me Linstrum, Dys...,are tops. They will not be around for much longer but i can chearish their wonderful play and sportsmanship. Like Gnu, I will now lean to wards Van.Canucks but Will also watch the Yzerman team as a second choice.
