Did you know that Hal Gill know has 6 points in 4 games? Did you know that can be considered a sign of the upcoming apocalypse?

As happy as I am that the Smyth/Hejduk/Stastny line is a fucking monster, it does concern me that those three guys have accounted for like 60-65% of our offensive production :/

In the two Leafs games I've been to this year, the Leafs have won by a combined score of 13-2. If that's not a sign that I should be given complimentary seasons tickets, I don't know what is.

Wow, Pittsburgh got ruined last night. Anyone see where Crosby checked a guy and just kind of bounced off? It kind of worked though, the guy stumbled, but it was funny to see.

Ben Eager is a bitch. Throws a flying elbow at Laraque, but was afraid to fight him. So he fought Gary Roberts instead and got majorly fucked up.

Fuck the Flyers.

Though it's nice to know that after going 8-0 against them last year, the rivalry is back.

I hate the Flyers. Nothing pains me more than the number of Flyers fans who are slowly crawling back out from under the woodwork here. Didn't see them at all during school last year.

Rumours have Marleau going to Montreal for Ryder and Halak.

The irony of what appears to be a pens fan calling anybody a pussy has left me flabbergasted. Do they not watch their kid in action?

[Evil Chase K]

The best kid in hockey? Yes, I've seen him. I've also seen him scrap with people when they take a cheapshot. But then the bigger guys on the Penguins come in and defend him like they should.

It's like Gretzky, Gretzky never had to fight, he was protected. Mario Lemeuix had to do everything himself.

[Plubby]

No, I was talking about Crosby, not the best kid in hockey.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Even Gretzky fought Neal Broten once.

[Cactus Drags]

Yeah, I agree it wasn't his only course of action, but if he got the puck first doesn't that mean it's not tripping? Not entirely sure.

[Guest Grapehead]

maybe if he used a poke check, and got the puck first, but a slide tackle is a little more blatant

Riiiiight.

Go over to Washington sometime. I hear they have a kid who scores, hits, does it all, and his team is terrible (and sucking.)

Your team is full of talented young kids with a veteran prescence. What's your excuse for sucking?

PS Nice comeback.
