Ya, you guys have a great Top 4 for D. What the hell happened against Colorado last night though?!? With the improvements the Flames have made and the Preds gettign Forsberg, the next 11 days should be interesting! I'm sure Sturm and Murray will be headed out West soon.

Sakic Scored goal #600 last night, that's what happened

That was an awesome game. 2-0 then 2-2 then 4-2 then 4-4 then 4-5 then 5-5 and two more to end it 7-5 with a hat trick by Hejduk and 2 goals and 3 assists by Sakic.

Its games like that one that make hockey so much fun

Calgary and Colorado play each other on Hockey Night in Canada Game 2 tonight! Then again on Tuesday!
PS-10 more days till the trade deadline!

The Canucks win yet again! Starting to creep away with first place but without a trade, i don't know if they'll be able to keep up with the other western contenders...
...since when did Nashville become the new Detroit. Those guys are stacked!

Also, Jarko Ruutu scores two for the Pittsburgh win? Damn those pens have turned it up.

Ahhhhh, the good ol' days. LINK

So what do we all think about the Ottawa/Buffalo game? surprised no one brought that up yet, the highlights were crazy for that game.

I dont know about the hit that started it all, it was a bad hit but at the same time, Drury's head up was up and he was facing it so i dont know...maybe the elbow was a little high.

The ensuing faceoff though WAS in fact dirty, how ridiculous was that, getting all your players on the ice to go after non-fighters. I never liked Emery until seeing him in that game.

What do you guys think? anybody siding with Buffalo on this one?

PS. the canucks are on a rampage! 6 in a row...Calgary on the otherhand..why cant they win on the road??

Neil can be a little prick especially with the stick but, looked like a clean hit to me. Emery, anyone who puts a criminal like Tyson on their mask is a dink in my book.
Here's video of the line brawl- LINK

old time hockey. i thought it was great. there will be the nay sayers crying that fighting should be taken out of the game, but what was the hottest ticket of the year? the next game in ottawa.

fighting is a part of the game. always has been and always will be. the people complaining that it has no place in hockey have never played, or never played at a competitive level. if they want to sell-out games, then the league shouldn't be so hard on the fighting aspect. like any other role on the team, it is a job. after a good fight they are usually patting each other on the back and going out for drinks after the game.

i loved the look on emry's face. like a kid in a candy shop. i didn't realize until my mom told me, but we played for the same junior b team in welland.

Imagine if they play each other in the playoffs?

Vancouver just added Sopel and Smolinski to their lineup, not bad better than doing nothing. They playoffs should be pretty interesting this year especially in the West.

I love the trade deadline, almost as good as draft day! Not a bad day, lots of trades. There were a few guys that I'm surprised to not see moved. Looks like the Pens are going for it, good for them!

Oh wow, can't wait to see that criminal Bertuzzi in a Wings uniform. Should make the west pretty interesting if he can come back and play as well as he did pre-Moore incident. I wonder who they'll play him with because you can't break up the Holmstrom/Datsyuk/Zetterberg line.

So what else do you guys think, Thorton/Guerin/Cheechoo? Best line hockey?

Oh yeah and Im so glad Samson's back...I mean Sopel...the hair gets chicks...

One of the things I can't wait to see...how Luongo plays in the playoffs. He seems like a pretty cool customer and we all know how talented he is but will he get over that hump and join the elite or be another Turco? I have my Luongo rookie cards ready to sell on Ebay the second he chokes in the playoffs!

hey hey, not soo fast..lets wait and give him his turn...he has said in interview quote, unquote..."nothing's going to stop me"...but seriously, i hope i dont have to sell his RC on ebay

Well it looks like my Flames have somehow pulled 2 road victories in a row. That rally back from a 2-0 deficit was fun to watch against St. Louis. Nashville on Thursday!
Is it just me or does it seem like most clubs are playing in playoff mode already?

Hmmm, Nashvill and Calgary huh? I'll be watching that one!

I'll be wearing my Vokoun jersey watching that one. The NW division battle is getting ridiculously tight!

The Flames better get their act together before the playoffs get here!

Jeff Cowan...i know what everybody is thinking. Jeff who? Cowan, as Cowan just scored his 6th goal in 4 games for the Canucks!

So what about that Simon blatent high stick to the face, how ugly was that...this is a must see if you haven't caught it yet. It's very Mcsorley/Brashear esque...

I think Simon was trying to collect another scalp! Pretty dumb.

Did you throw your bra on the ice? :p

yup..those were my double d's...

Damn it, I heard there were 92 minutes in penalties in the Vancouver game tonight. I tuned in with 15 minutes left in the game..the Ducks are dominating! They should be fun to watch during the playoffs, people think of them as a young talented team with two of the best D-men in the league and a Giguere back to form but, they are a pretty tough team too. They lead the league in fighting penalties.

I think they have Brian Burke to thank for that...he knows how to build teams.

Man, it got quiet in here.
