sure, the guy has a point, but it will never happen in a million years

[Clawson]

Yeah that would never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever happen. And I'd puke if it did.

Ummm....didn't get to watch the game, had class, plus I knew the Sens were gonna win anyways but for those that did watch how did Mark Bell play?

[Toe]

Kyle Wellwood and Mark Bell both looked good. Bell looked pretty good on a line with Wellwood and Jason Blake.

[Clawson]

So I guess Mats was back with Nikky and Poni eh?

[Cactus Drags]

What's a good average for powerplay goals, like 1 every 4 powerplays or something? Same for PKs, I read that a 73% PK success rate was appalling.

[Liam]

Well, 73% effectively means you can't kill one out of 4, which is a pretty high ratio when you think about how many PK situations you may be put in game to game.

[Cactus Drags]

Well yeah, logic would dictate that a 100% PK rate is awesome, as would be a 100% powerplay success. But at what point does it become an issue where a coach needs to be making changes or whatever.

[Toe]

A powerplay of 25% is fantastic. A powerplay of I think 21% is average. A powerplay of 18% and lower needs some work.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Well yeah, logic would dictate that a 100% PK rate is awesome, as would be a 100% powerplay success. But at what point does it become an issue where a coach needs to be making changes or whatever.

[Toe]

~85%? 90% maybe? An opposing PP percentage of 10-15 would be a good result.

[Cactus Drags]

Awesome, cheers guys.

[Clawson]

Some survey just said that Leaf fans were the least loyal of all the Canadian teams. Heh, yeah like it's not loyalty to put up with the shit that we put up with.

[NobBe Nobbs]

That survey was obviously run based on this year and last year by retarded faggots who have no conception of history.

Montreal gets the win again against Boston. Apparently our second goal by Plekanec was just unbelievable.

[Toe]

I think Andrew Raycroft wants more minutes.

Toronto played some sloppy defence but did well breaking up the Buffalo rushes, blocking shots and killing penalties. Andrew Raycroft made some highlight saves too, and timely scoring from McCabe and Sundin lifted the Leafs to a huge win.

[Clawson]

McCabe's fu manchu makes me horny.

[Maxx]

I can't believe the Leafs won, they weren't even sniffing Buffalo's net for the first half of that game

[The Sultan of Swank]

I only heard the game on the Radio but Ottawa vs Montreal sounded like a fantastic game, just Montreal seemed to sound like they gave up trying to pressure Ottawa for the last 15 minutes.

[Gabriel]

It was a heck of a game indeed. I don't think Montreal gave up, so much as Ottawa just overwhelmed them. It was sad to see Ottawa take a 3-1 win, especially after how well the Habs have played this year... but I won't complain, because I've got Gerber in our Yahoo Hockey Pool. (Y)

[Toe]

Fucking finally. Toronto lost in a shootout, but they were solid defensively. That was not a frustrating loss, that was just a close hockey game that I enjoyed watching.
