The trade? I know, it seems...well, retarded.

[lari]

It's not like they gave much in return.

Anybody know how to download the NHL videoes on Google Video? I know it's possible, because I'm watching a couple I downloaded now. Also, is it possible to burn .gvp files to CDs and have them work perfectly?

[Toe]

Toronto and Andrew Raycroft continue to play well, beating the Blues. The bad part though, is that all the teams we are chasing won as well. Toronto remains a point back from Pittsburgh and two from Carolina.

Daniel and Henrik Sedin toy with the Oilers, potting nine points. Seriously, NINE POINTS. The Oilers lost the game because of bad discipline but still, they didn't play well and the twins just destroyed them with trick plays, redirections, and just general wizardry.

Seems like as good a place as any to post this...a TSN special on Wayne Gretzky's retirement.

Havlat saved the day for the Hawks. Scored twice in the final three minutes and then the winner in the shootout. So far the road trip seems to be going well, but tonight is going to be tough.

Ottawa loses a VERY important game, and continue to look worse and worse since Spezza returned. How does that even work, your(arguably) best offensive player returns and you drop off?

[Toe]

3 points seperate Toronto and Ottawa. The Leafs are only 4 back of Montreal. A win tomorrow in Nashville puts the Leafs in the final playoff spot and tied with Tampa Bay for seventh in points (Tampa has more wins).

[SeanDMan]

It seems that lately, the Canucks have played up to the quality of the other team's goalie. Dwayne Roloson and Miikaa Kiprusoff? Play a full, hard 60 minutes. Ty Conklin or Patrick Lalime? NIGHT OFF.

[Hajjhowe]

Well come on, it is Patrick Lalime.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Well come on, it is Patrick Lalime.

Montreal lost a good game to Carolina. Montreal had at least 8 or 9 great scoring chances that they either failed to capitalize on or were shut down by Ward. Very important two games against Ottawa comming up. I'm willing to bet they split the games, but if one team takes the two games, I'm predicting they stay on top of the other for the rest of the way.

I'd hate to be Samsonov right now. Placed on waivers, no one claims him. He'll get picked up on re-entry, or traded. I believe his agent did ask for a trade. He was a good looking signing, but things just didn't work for him in Montreal. I also feel that he was a lazy player and reluctant to play our style of game. He was forever complaining about one thing or another.

[lari]

Lalime is awesome.

I can't believe I said that. But seriously, Khabibulin hasn't had a shutout in two years, while Lalime shuts out the Canucks in his first frickin' game!

[Clawson]

Shutting out Vancouver is like outrunning a retarded turtle now that Patrick Lalime has done it.

[Hajjhowe]

I could have told you Samsanov was going to suck Basha. It's just another poor Canadians signing that wasn't going to pan out.

[The Sultan of Swank]

Montreal loses again, same old story. Not enough offence, too many penalties. Even without Markov and Rivet it shouldn't make a huge difference. I think that our woe's since Dec 23 can be directly attributed to the loss of Steve Begin. He went out the game before that I believe and look at us now. Haha, oh how I wish it was that easy.

I think Bob's going to make a big move before the deadline, just he's so ghostly you'd never know what he's thinking.

[Toe]

Despite the loss to Nashville, Toronto's five game road trip led to 4 wins and we are still very close to the 8th playoff spot. We are not too far back from Montreal, either.

[NobBe Nobbs]

And on that note, the Bolts got creamed 5-0 by New York, something that can only really help us out.

[Toe]

Yeah, and Colton Orr and Ryan Hollweg were a huge help to the Leafs in that game. Who let's Colton Orr score on them, anyways?
