What's with losing to the Blues 4-1? And yet being able to beat the BJ's 5-1? Mental.

St. Louis don't suck as much as their reputation would have them suck this season.

Still unacceptable though.

Oh...and fuck...five. You have got to be absolutely kidding me.

It's fine, though. The season's early and there's always hope.

...although I'm beginning to think of different X-Mas gifts than a custom Thrashers jersey :-/

I think Meg and I might be getting back together soon....

She had a key to my house, I get home from school today, she's in my bed wearing just a Maple Leafs Scarf around her chest and is holding a pair of scissors in one hand...

[Slogger]

That was....random.

[Clawson]

Send those scissors over here so I can stab McCabe and Kubina.

I don't think I have seen Toronto play such horrible defence. Really, is it that hard to win when you have the lead three times in the third period?

This is the third time this season they have had a two goal lead and then lost the game. Raycroft actually played well, he made a lot of huge stops and is the reason (along with Chad Kilger) why Toronto even managed to make it into overtime.

Also, Raycroft has earned at least a point in his three starts this year.

Next up for Toronto is three home games against Florida, Chicago and Atlanta. A good opportunity for Toronto to erase the poor start and build momentum. I think they can fix the problems they have in their own zone, and I think they are scoring enough goals.

Do the Avs have a chance against the Flames tonight? I've not really kept up, NFL takes up most of my time >_>

Dragsy, your priorities are screwed up. Calgary have sucked so far this season IMO. Of course we have a chance.

EDIT: I rescind my previous statement.

SECOND EDIT: Ahh, something just kicked me in the groin.

Tomas Vokoun defeats the Montreal Canadiens in a rather intriguing game to watch.

The Habs dominated play for almost the entire 60 minutes... but Vokoun held his team in long enough for Horton to score with hardly any time left...forcing Overtime, and then a shootout... where he once again held his team in it, for Stumpel to slide one past Huet.

The Panthers are going to do well this year because of Tomas Vokoun and Lady Luck. If Lady Luck leaves, then Vokoun will do well, and Florida will be left wondering what happened.

[Plubby]

All the way back from 4-0 down! WOOHOOOOOOO~! I should have had more faith in my "of course we have a chance"

[Cactus Drags]

That was fucking awesome. I was playing skate on my 360 whilst keeping an eye on nhl.com's realtime thing, and it was like "argh! YES! argh! YES!"

[Plubby]

I tuned into the live radio broadcast on NHL.com when the shootout started and I was like "YESSSS" pumping the fist and clapping when Theo came up big twice.

Althought the video highlights show to us that the puck kind of...hit him on Tanguay's shot <_>

[The Sultan of Swank]

Ridiculous. Montreal dominates for 58 minutes, loses essentially with 10 seconds left.

[Plubby]

Wow, Montreal have dominated almost every game according to Basha.

Hartley is out as Thrashers coach after the team drops its first six (making me want to projectile vomit during most of them.) Courtesy of ESPN.com. Waddell comes back in as interim, possibly for the season.

That is all.
