2006/2007 Hockey Season Thread

It is still only three games. Raycroft is on a hot streak, but it remains to be seen if he has gotten back into his rookie form.

[SeanDMan]

Rumor going around is that the Canucks are interested in getting someone with toughness, IE an enforcer/power forward.

The hot name is Darcy Tucker.

Wade Belak would probably come cheaper.

[Guest Grapehead]

How that Shannahan goal stood goes above my head, but atleast it didn't cost us the game. Good effort by the boys tonight.

[IAceI]

Surely it's because the refs hate Toronto?

Except when Eric Godard broke his fucking shit.

[NobBe Nobbs]

I was thinking more along the lines of breaking Todd Fedoruk's jaw in a fight. That was awesome.

Surely it's because the refs hate Jaromir Jagr?

Surely it's because everyone deservedly hates Jaromir Jagr?

Fixed.

I still say that Raycroft's Calder was a sham, Ryder deserved it over him.

Anyways, Pittsburgh tonight, maybe we can knock down another high flying team. Keep jostling with Ottawa for 4th. It's probably going to be an Ottawa - Montreal quarter finals. Would be a good match up, the games between the two teams are usually pretty good.

Montreal has 2 games at hand on Ottawa and are a point back, they also have a game at hand on Toronto and are 5 points ahead of those losers.

Toronto is still out of the Playoff picture, so if I were to make picks now based on the current situation in the east, it'd be;

Buffalo - Tampa

New Jersey - Pittsburgh

Atlanta - Carolina

Ottawa - Montreal

I'd pick, Buffalo in 5, Jersey in 6, Atlanta in 5 and a toss up between Ottawa and Montreal, it depends who's streakier at the moment, in this case, Ottawa in 6.

Surely it's because everyone is generally jealous of Jaromir Jagr?

Fixed.

[IAceI]

Just stop.

When I watched Sportscentre this morning, they had Toronto above Pittsburgh in 8th.

Now that I look on TSN, Toronto has more wins but Pittsburgh has a game in hand.

Pittsburgh>Toronto

[Hajjhowe]

Anaheim > *

I find Nashville and Buffalo more enjoyable then Anaheim.

[The Sultan of Swank]

Well we all know Jersey < * that's right <, sure they've got a great team, but when you have poor attendance but star players, you know it's because you play some really boring hockey.

Also, for some reason, I find myself in love with Hajj.

[Toe]

You don't like Hajj.

That's just the ruffies kicking in. Watch your ass, man!

[NobBe Nobbs]

Pittsburgh have actually got three games in hand over us, it don't bode well for us because they've not been playing badly of late.
