Remember when the Leafs started 4-0 last season?

Remember when Detroit wasn't a ghetto

Don't worry the Leafs will not be experiencing a deja vu anytime soon!

Was it just me or did the Rangers just basically rope-a-dope the Canucks?

Yeah, it's kinda bittersweet to know that the East's bottom feeders are better than the West's :D

Kessel in Beantown tonight. Should be interesting to see how he fares vs a real goalie and goalie with Chara trying to put his teeth down his throat instead of lighting up teams like the Jets, Avs, Sens and Flames

It took Kessel over 3 games against the Bruins to finally get a goal. Anyway, everyone knows about his streaks and how he plays in October. Should be interesting.

Clark is out again this time due to injury so Matt Frattin will join Kulie and Gabs on the 2nd line.

Anyway, the Leafs have more depth than they've had in years. Still very early, but I definitely see them being more in the playoff picture than previous years.

I was at the game last night and they played extremely sluggish for the first 45 minutes. It was total eye sore and they got lucky to even get a point, but it turns out that's how they've been playing the first five games.

Lady luck Leafs.

I'd expect to see more from the old 1st line than Lupul and Kessel's line tonight. Lupul's puck control has always been very suspect. I'm glad he had a decent night last night. I'd be fairly surprised if he can get on the score sheet two nights in a row.

After already missing their #1 center Zajac (out until at least December) the Devils just lost their #2 center Jacob Josefson with a fractured clavicle, so he's out until at least late January at best, and that's a huge injury for a hockey player. Not as a bad as a blown knee but it's still a bad one.

So now our top two centers are Elias (a converted left wing, not an impact player at center) and Zubrus (a converted wing, but he is a good twoway center). Brad Mills is a decent 4th line center, and I guess they'll have to call up Adam Henrique (scored 25+25 in his AHL rookie year last season) to fill the 3rd line gap.

This is why I drink.

This should make you drink more:

23:02
29:37
32:04
31:56
32:25

Guess what this is??? Ilya's ice time, from game one to current! Nothing wrong with throwing out a forward for 30+ a game!

@VanCanucks Vancouver Canucks

Media Release: Canucks acquire David Booth, Steve Reinprecht & 3rd round draft pick in '13 from Panthers in exchange for Samuelsson/Sturm.

That's a sweet deal for the Canucks. Fucking Florida. Talon must have been drunk at his phone again or something. I can't understand how this benefts Florida at all. If Booth goes back to his pre-braindead stages when he hit 30g and 60pts as a 23 year old.... fuck. Vancouver can ice a top six of

Sedin-Sedin-Burrows
Booth-Kesler-Raymond.

That is pretty tight.

They're like $80k off the cap now though, so better not get any injuries!
