And this game is over.

[theblujay]

Lol Leafs

[Dylan]

Kessel and Kadri with only 9 minutes each in the first 40

[Dylan]

Bernier gives up lots of horrible goals when he does lol

 

Game over. Embarrassing effort

[Dylan]

Let's put orr with kadri and expect some great chemistry.

 

Screw off rc

[Dylan]

11 minutes of icetime for the top line in the first 50 minutes.....

Martin Erat and Brooks Laich will swap positions on Washington's second line on Friday.

Erat will center the unit while Laich will serve as a left winger. Washington's second line has struggled this season and it looks like Capitals coach Adam Oates wants to shake things up a bit without impacting his first or third lines. Nov 22 - 1:19 PM

Washington Post

 

Oates, lol. Battle of the blockheads tomorrow night!!

 

How about not having Brooks f***ing Laich in your top 6 period, Adam.

[John_Havok]

Yup, face punchers get regular shifts but don't fight, and "McClaren is the engine that keeps this team moving forward"......why do I live in this CITY!!!!!

 

Would now be a good time to mention that there's not a single team in the Eastern Conference that would be in a playoff spot if they were in the West? I know it's early enough that it won't keep up all year but at the 25% mark of the season, I think it's still pretty noteworthy.

[John_Havok]

The only Eastern team with a winning record is Tampa, after losing last night they fell to 7-2.

 

It's really quite interesting when you think of the star power that is in the Eastern Conference, Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin, Stamkos, Tavares, 7 of the top 10 scorers in the league are in the East.

[John_Havok]

No, I had a beer with him a few years ago in Saskatoon but not a peep since.

[havok24]

lol guys on the Leafs board (HFboards) want to trade Kadri because apparently Peter Holland makes him expendable lol.

[GD]

Holy s***. Look at this. This is a thread from FEBRUARY 2012 from the Leafs' board.

I don't follow young players much or draft picks but I happened to be looking around at teams prospects and one kinda jumped out.

 

The ducks have been good trading partners with us in the past and have done a minor deal not too long ago.

 

For anyone that follows young players what do you think about trying to get Peter Holland from the Ducks.

 

http://www.nhl.com/i...l.htm?dpid=5341

 

Scouting reports say he is projected to be a good power forward, plays center, seems to have decent point production.

 

He's a Toronto kid with good size and a 1st round pick (15th overall) in the 09 draft

 

Maybe sending a package including some good D prospects like Blacker or someone else might work?

 

With Getzlaf at the number 1 spot this guy might be movable?

 

or visa versa

 

Maybe this guy will make Getzlaf movable?

 

What do you think?

 

That's crazy.

[havok24]

So Erat is scratched for tonight's game? Oates is a jackass.

Gotta get the unstoppable Brooks Laich and Jason the "Ice Cheetah" Chimera more burn. Not to mention newly minted sniper Joel Ward.

 

That team is really horrific. They'd probably be the worst team in the league without Ovi.

Rielly scratched for tonight's game for Mark "Cement Legs" Fraser.

[Dylan]

Wow grabo skate to the face. Looks like just a cut, could have been way worse.

Grabo will now proceed to light the Leafs up in the third.

[Dylan]

Reimer! Leafs with the win!

[GD]

Reimer is so damn good.

[havok24]

Reimer is so damn good.

 

Reimer is an absolute monster.

 

Man that Ovechkin goal was sick though.

Was such a weird bounce.

Not surprisingly, Erat wants out of Washington.

 

In April he came to Washington with enthusiasm. But it only took six months for hockey forward Martin Erat to wearily say: "I want to get away as quickly as possible."

 

"It bothers me, and I hope it will get solved. I believe that I will not stay here too long and I get the opportunity to play on another team," Erat said in an interview iDNES.cz.

 

"I am getting no time on the ice. It's hard to show when you play ten or twelve minutes," complains Erat. "At the beginning of the season it was perhaps only seven minutes. And then when it went up, the coach made me play in more defensive than offensive situations."

 

A trade to another team in the NHL may be a matter of days and Erat's agent is working hard to make it happen. "Yes, we talked about how to solve it. Hopefully something will happen and I'll be out of here as quickly as possible," Erat repeats .

[GD]

Nice buy low.

Good thing they didn't trade a legit prospect for him or anything. Oh wait.
